They are still using bitmapped graphics under the hood, which explains some of the limitation. The community has shrunk, which means there's no one to take them to the world of vector. However, Pharo people are implementing a new vector engine called Bloc.

Alignment issues are not only relevant for RISC processors. SSE makes them valid for x86, too (in both 32 and 64-bit mode).

Requiring alignment with certain SSE instructions was the original poorly-thought-out misstep that lead to this bug. One of the basic principles of CISC is to implement instructions flexibly in hardware even if it requires microcode, then optimise that hardware to gain a performance advantage with each new generation.

If the original SSE instructions worked fine with unaligned data, perhaps being slower in such cases like all the other instructions did, then no expectations would be violated and everything would've worked out nicely. The fact that the explicitly unaligned version is now actually slightly faster in the benchmarks shown (because there doesn't need to be extra code to do alignment) is evidence enough that the original decision to have separate aligned/unaligned versions was really shortsighted. Very wide memory buses and multistage pipelines make alignment pretty much a non-issue.

The other big point this article doesn't mention is that rather than fighting with the compiler, if you already know what instructions you want, it would be better to write the Asm directly. For short sequences like these the Asm is going to be even clearer and shorter than "truly portable" C. In practice there really aren't that many architectures your code is going to run on.
ugggghhhh same
Other than the physical switches (which sounds not all that interesting, since if I'll be in control of the software/OS, I can trust the GPIOs controlling some MOSFETs switches pretty much the same), this phone can only really differentiate itself by being very friendly to the FOSS developers/enthusiasts crowd.

A phone where you could get creative and manipulate every aspect of it without the artificial [security/functionality/SDK] limitations imposed on apps you can write for Android or that other comapny's phone OS I don't like even more.

A phone that will not get planned obsolescence.

A phone with OS that can be managed just like any other linux distro, where you can write apps in any of the readily available languages, etc.

Failing this, it's just overpriced wannabe Android clone.

Applying for a passport isn't a criminal proceeding, for one thing, but regardless of that, not having a passport stamp is strong evidence that you weren't here.

According to the article:

In some cases, passport applicants with official U.S. birth certificates are being jailed in immigration detention centers and entered into deportation proceedings. In others, they are stuck in Mexico, their passports suddenly revoked when they tried to reenter the United States.

Being “jailed in immigration detention centers and entered into deportation procedures” sure sounds criminal to me.

It's like proof that your car was parked in your driveway all night when you claim you were at work -- when all other methods of travel are illegal. It's theoretically possible that you got there some other way, but now it's on you to show that. It's not about "proving your innocence" but rather rebutting the government's strong evidence that you're not.

Do you know how many Black people alive right now in the South also have parents that were born as late as the early 1900s without any official documentation besides thier names written in a Bible? Should that also make it harder for my parents to get passports? (btw, it doesn’t.)

Karuna Health | San Francisco, CA USA | Full-time | Onsite

Without guidance, patients often feel anonymous, isolated, and helpless.

Around the country, teams of health guides, often called “care managers,” work directly with patients to guide them through the healthcare system. The impact these teams have is inspiring, but is expensive and difficult to scale.

At Karuna, we build software that automates common care care coordination tasks so that care management teams can get back to what they do best: being there for patients when they need help the most. We're led by repeat founders, advised by three of the most prominent healthcare leaders in the U.S., and backed by some of the best seed funds on earth (First Round, BoxGroup, etc.). Since day one, helping patients has been part of our DNA. One of our patients told us: "I wish you were available to me when I first started this journey, and I believe that this could be a game changer for battling [my] disease."

We're hiring for Full Stack and Back-end Engineer roles. Some details for both roles:

- Responsibility for bringing Karuna's vision to life. Your input is crucial to everything we build.

- Write code with a deeply technical eng team (co-founder / CTO and two product-focused full-stack engineers).

- Rapidly prototype new features, measure impact, and collaborate with experienced product lead to update our roadmap.

- Take us from demo to production level code as soon as we're experiencing traction.

If you're interested, feel free to PM me or go to https://angel.co/karunahealth/jobs/

"Which developers?" is a relevant question.

In my experience in the games industry the PC has long been the most favoured platform amongst game developers. It was the standard for games development up until very recently when Unity appeared and game development on the Mac became viable.

For your typical console or PC game studio it's likely to be all PCs with the coders themselves favouring PCs at home.
That's part of why I included on a local scale. If your town provides more amenities and generally treats the homeless population better than the surrounding areas, of course homeless people are going to move to it. Which might be good for the homeless, but it's kind of counterproductive in terms of the original problem statement - "as a homeowner I really don't like that an army of homeless people can setup encampment by my home on public property (in part maintained by my tax dollars) and then bring crime, aggressive panhandling, trash (lots of it) and lowered property values to my neighborhood."

> The supercharger network was a publicity stunt. While it is possible to drive a Tesla across the US, it isn't exactly practical for real world trips where once you get there you want to spend some time there.

Speaking as an actual Tesla owner, I could not disagree more.

I just did a 2000 mile road trip in my Model 3, and had absolutely zero instances of range anxiety or problems with the super chargers. I stopped to charge approximately every 3.5 hours (the car lasts longer between stops than two passengers and a dog), and on average, I'd add about 200 miles back in the 30 minutes it takes to walk the dogs, go to the bathroom, and get a snack. I'd argue that the supercharger system is more practical than a normal gas stop, since you can't do anything else while filling up your tank. With the supercharger, if I take a couple extra minutes waiting in line for a coffee, I'm getting more miles. It took a lot of the stress out of the drive, and I absolutely would not want to go back to doing an ICE-based road trip.

https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/evolving-the-firefox-bra...

I made a comment about this in a similar vain: Mozilla wants to overload the Firefox name to the point where it's totally meaningless. The success of the Firefox name is no doubt the reason but this fails to recognize that's not how names work. This direction is exactly the reason why Nintendo called their console "WiiU" and that turned out about as well as this ultimately will.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Firefox being the name of a single product. The entire underlying premise of this redesign is flawed.
support is a huge factor in reducing churn. can they reach out and is your team/you responsive? if they complain about crashes can they get a credit for the month while you fix, etc? good support will cut churn
Your old practices are actively harmful to people learning the language.

If anything it's the insanity of standards-lawyering antagonistic compiler-writers which is "actively harmful".

No one wants things like integer overflow checks being silently removed, yet there's an apparent surplus of people whose only reaction is to worship The Holy Standard and laugh at you for trying to use the language in the straightforward portable-assembler way that it was originally designed for.
18F | Boston, MA and Hampton, VA USA | Full-time | Onsite

If you are interested in public service, 18F's cloud.gov team is looking for a consulting technical lead. This position will start off by working with the amazing Kessel Run Air Force team, which is a team of enlisted coders working alongside Pivotal Labs developers, applying modern software development methods to directly improve the Air Force Air Operations Center (AOC). More about Kessel Run here: https://www.fastcompany.com/40588729/the-air-force-learned-t...

The cloud.gov team will provide consulting, training, coaching and solutions to support the Kessel Run team in designing, building and operating their multi-region cloud based infrastructure.

Deadline to apply is Monday, Sep 10. Please read this guide to applying for federal positions: https://join.tts.gsa.gov/hiring-process/

Yes, 18F is usually remote, but for this gig we need folks on the ground with the Kessel Run team.
Unknown. The reset was done by a family member so I can't be sure. They are pretty tech savvy and work in IT but who knows. If it was a phishing page it was presumably (hopefully?) a reasonably convincing one.

The password reset happened two days into a seven day vacation. The account takeover happened while we were flying home. That the attacker waited until we were likely to be completely offline for several hours makes me suspicious that either hotel staff or staff at the hotel's Internet provider were involved. We have contacted the hotel but they seem uninterested.
See my reply above, but my experience as an owner has been so diametrically opposite to this, I can't imagine you've talked to many people that have done long Tesla road trips.

The supercharger network is one of Tesla's greatest strengths. The majority that I've been to are already at rest stops, malls, shopping centers, etc. that are close to the highway, so I can fill my battery while doing other stuff and stretching my legs. Plus, the range of the Model 3 is such that I need more stops during a long drive than the car does.
I'd like to think the point was that such policies may attraco out of town homeless, or get them shipped there. Many municipalities have been caught giving the homeless bus tickets.

> but on x86 int32* is 4 byte aligned.

It doesn't need to be. Anyone who has done x86 Asm knows that it is (with the horrible exception of SSE) pretty much completely insensitive to alignment.

expecting some mythical version of x86 where all types are 1-byte aligned.

It's real, and it's called "#pragma pack(1)"
In fact, the founders were wary of a Bill of Rights specifically because by enumerating some of them the list might be seen as complete.

Right, which is why we have the 9th and 10th amendments. Unfortunately they are effectively ignored, along with the Enumerated Powers clause, meaning our government effectively has unlimited power. :-(
>That's very obviously an anti-theft measure to deter casual smash and grab jobs.

Torx head, sure. Two different size Torx? I mean, fine. Three? Now the crowbar comes out, and they've ruined your entire interior. I say this as someone who lives on a street that has had a lot of smash and grabs, before my wife and I began weekly garbage cleanups & installed a very visible camera on our building facade.

In many cases with BMW/Mini, I would contend that it's very obviously a deterrent from having you do casual work on your own car, and pushing you into their service model. By comparison, Hyundai publishes their service manuals online in their entirety, for free - or at least they did in the 2000s when I was driving that car.

Ask someone who was an environmentalist for a couple of decades if shooting the messenager is a new or growing phenomena. It definitely isn’t, and is always at its peak issue makes people feel powerless, and they know that it would take personal sacrifice to make a difference. Few people like being told that rough seas are ahead, and the only way to make it through is with extensive teamwork, compromise, and putting aside petty personal issues.

Of course it’s often enhanced by orgsnizations which benefit from the status quo. For a long time being in favor of EV’s fell into the “tree hugger” category of ridicule and censure, and only when it became possible to adopt the tech without significant personal sacrifice did that change. The idea of organizing people and exercising mass political power is obviously hard, potentially risky, and involves more than making a 5 minute video or paragraph of posting. If people have already chosen not to do that, they tend to resent the people loudly reminding them that there is another way they simply chose to ignore.
I didn't go to the site, but the part about being able to hack sniper rifles is correct. It wasn't some complex nation-state level hack, it was just standard IoT device with poor security integrated into a rifle. The hack was done on the consumer version of one brand of rifle, thought the Army had ordered some for evaluation purposes. Here's an article about it:

> Saying "check back in 2 hours" isn't useful.

Having worked for a cloud provider, the reason they are saying that is because they are actively working to understand and fix the problem but haven't come to a well resound solution and thus they cannot give you a decent time estimate because you will probably get even more mad if they under/over estimate the time it took to fix it.
40 years ago my parents emigrated from an authoritarian South-East Asian country with a dubious human rights record to come to Australia where their kids could enjoy freedom and opportunity away from all that.

Today, I see this announcement in the news and I am wondering which country I can emigrate to with my own kids because I am disgusted with the increasing authoritarian bent of our government, as well as our plummeting human rights record...
I believe there's an additional moving part in the U2F standard (channel ID) that is supposed to mitigate even if someone with a valid cert hijacks the session. But I don't believe it's implemented, and I defer to greater nerds to describe it.
I think there's a lot in TempleOS that could/should be useful, though. It's basically a Lisp machine but with HolyC instead of Lisp. Plenty of valuable lessons to be learned in OS and compiler design.

Definitely inertia. In 2004 when I moved to Mac OS X 10.3 it was amazing as a Linux server app developer. It has largely been downhill since 10.6 or .8. For every step forwards, Apple seems to take two steps back for my preferences. The personal cost of migrating from macOS and iOS in terms of time and interoperability with my family at this point are too big a price for me to pay, but regardless I spend too much mental energy on how I would migrate, and to what. I have bought a bunch of Linux and Windows laptops to try them but never can make the move.

It is really disappointing that Apple does not make a back end server dev friendly computer (hardware) or operating system anymore and I have apps and workflows I like that are not amenable to an actual Linux main computer.

Feel free to see my other issues in my comment history (rants?). Especially, where are my f-keys?

I own a Yaris as well 110,000 km on mine very happy with it. The most reliable car I have owned. Only major maintenance was Takata air bag recall which was covered for free.

My previous car was a Kia Rio which I had to replace clutch twice between 60,000 Km and 90,000 Km. Both times it was clutch cable failing and finally the gearbox died at about 120,000 and I ended up abandoning it.

I think my next car will probably be a Mazda I know a lot of people here (Australia) that drive them and everyone I've spoken to has good things to say.
Those are unique departures, not unique citizens.

By my calculation the number of overseas departures relative to population has steadily increased: 6.3% in 1997, 8.5% in 2007, 9.2% in 2017. (Those numbers exclude Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean.) And only 2008, 2009, and 2010 saw a YTD drop. However, according to this article (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/william-d-chalmers/the-great-...) the percentage of unique travelers is decreasing (or did decrease) per year. That is, an increasingly selective cohort is traveling more.

There's also the question of what percentage of citizens traveling are immigrants. The number of foreign born citizens has been steadily increasing over the above time period.

The MMGY Global's report, mentioned in the article, is $3k. I'm not that invested in my post (not to the tune of $3k) so I can't actually look at the data myself.[1]
