The basic idea of RISC was to reduce the complexity of individual instructions. Rather than having one instruction, you had several, but each of those would be easier to decode and execute. And, as history has shown, it was also quite a bit faster to execute such simplified instructions.

Hence, assembling a single mnemonic into two or more instructions is fairly common on RISC architectures. But the instruction set at the machine level is still simple and direct, even if the assembler expands.

As a fun fact, modern x86 will often just microcode complex instructions inside the CPU to several simple mu-ops and then execute those. In turn, they are just doing the same work as the assembler, but in hardware. It is necessary for backwards compatibility, but it is hardly elegant.
Naw, clipping the wall is taking advantage of a well known intentionally created bug where you walk through a wall to get to an area to skip levels. Every kid playing the game back in the 80s knew about it.

That is true. In Zurich a mid level engineer with 3 years of experience can earn 6600 EUR after taxes. See my blogpost that I wrote after moving here "Nine reasons why I moved to Switzerland to work in IT" (https://bit.ly/2GNlJcA)
Apple support is spot on. While I'm disappointed by the decline in quality of their products (namely the macbook pro), when I had to return my MBP 2017 a year after I bought it, and 3 months after they replaced the faulty keyboard, they were very supportive and refunded me the full amount. They're also very easy to talk to and treat you with respect unlike Google support (from my experience).

It's alright to have your own preferences, but so do other people. Some people (like me) prefer audiobooks instead of paper books, some people are militantly the other way around. It is what it is :-) Kudos, certainly, to people who share their work in multiple media.
"The world is so complex that we actually need better forms of analysis and better forums for deliberation than the ones we inherited from the 20th century. And instead of building those, we trusted Facebook and Google. Google said, “Hey we're going to build the library in the future! Let's defund the libraries of the present!” Facebook said, “We will build a public square that will liberate the world and spread democracy!” And everyone went, “Great!”

The very fact that these corporate leaders believe so deeply in their ability to improve our lives should have set off alarm bells. It’s not that they're lying. It's that they actually believe it."
So, the wave of light is actually 3d?

then if it is 3d, why don't we see the vertical bars in the interference pattern like this ? - - - -.

What everyone is missing is.

In Europe, why would an entrepreneur work hard? There is strong safety net provided by the Welfare state, it's simply not worth the risk.

No risk of going homeless if you fail. It's easier to give up.

Remove safety net, remove free healthcare, increase wages, remove payroll taxes, remove immigration restriction, add property rights so that foreigners can buy land and see the startups blossom.

It is as simple as that.

But pretty sure, most European will not be voting for this.

First think of it not from your perspective as a user, but from the site's perspective. If they don't support any form of MFA all they have to authenticate a user with is their password. It's impractical to enforce good password hygiene. If a user's password gets exposed by any means (they write it on a post-it, they get a keylogger installed on their laptop, they are successfully phished, etc), there's really nothing the site can do about it. If they do support MFA and require it on accounts, an attacker then has to get their password like before but also somehow get control of their 2FA device (whether it's a Yubikey or an MFA mobile app, etc). That is much, much harder to do. Not necessarily impossible, but there was a recent article from Google mentioning that they haven't had a single phished account (that they know of), since they mandated hardware MFA for all engineers.

Best practice for a user would be to use a good password manager (so you can use long, unique, secure passwords) and MFA. The second part of that is something that can actually be enforced within an organization.

As far as Yubikey vs software TOTP, etc, it's a bit theoretical. AFAIK, none of the auth apps have had compromises, but it's a lot easier to imagine someone out there figuring out a 0-day attack on a piece of software running on random Android and iOS devices than on hardware like a Yubikey. In theory, the way something like Yubikey works, the actual "secret" involved is stored on the device, and all the computation involving it happens on the device itself, carried out by hard-coded firmware.

As a user, I also really like that the Yubikey (higher end models at least) can store GPG keys and perform those operations securely. So I can set up GPG auth for SSH to servers, and sign my git commits using my Yubikey and know that my private key won't be exposed even if, eg, there's a trojan installed on my workstation. (obviously anything done while working on a trojaned machine is suspect, but the key itself never leaves the hardware, so they can't get that).
How well does it work for responsive websites? Do you have an open roadmap?
Why not all three? Everyone has showed up to the data party in the US as far as I can tell. Even the political parties are independently hoovering up data for their campaign strategies.
Agreed, even with a simple home license I've called Microsoft and been shocked at how competent they are. Pretty weird and complex issues too.

But doesn't Google in particular have a reputation for nonexistent or terrible support? It's not part of their culture, everything is a beta and it's no big deal if it doesn't work right?

An open phone cannot come fast enough. It may well be even buggier at first but if it's like my experience with Linux over the last 17 years it will only get steadily better since the developer's incentives are actually largely aligned with mine.

Agree with others saying leasing is the best way to fix costs. I've also had a great experience running an old Merc. I got 1999 soft top CLK back in 2011 with 63K miles. It's now done 110K. Nothing has gone wrong, so I've done ~50K miles on routine servicing only. Merc have always claimed a low TCO, and my experience has borne that out. So I say get a 10 year old hi spec Merc for low cost luxury motoring.
I had similar concerns before I joined up. I didn’t want to get swallowed up in some massive project or shuffled around in reorganization after reorganization.

The guy who was recruiting me made all the assurances that would not happen. I respected this guy, it’s the only reason why I even entertained being “recruited” for this role. Even with that though his word was not good enough.

What put me over the edge was meeting with his boss and then his bosses boss. I got the impression that these people had great skills in running an organization. They both were ex engineers who made the leap to senior management prior to joint the mega Corp (VP and Exec VP). I felt like I could trust them to a degree. It has proven out for me.

So, I suggest trying to get information to gauge how much you can “trust” your senior leadership beyond whomever will be your supervisor since those are the people who will really have the most control over your agency and future at that company.

1. Verbalize what is bad about the bad habit.

2. Verbalize what would be good about the good habit that should replace the bad one.

3. Do the bad habit. Focus on the bad outcome of it.

4. Once in a while when you actually do the good habit, focus on the positive outcome.

In other words, train yourself as you would train a dog.

Example:

1. I like eating which makes me fat, my joints hurt, I'm
slow.

2. If I would be more active, like going to a park, I would feel better just by being in nature and I would loose weight which means I would look better.

3. Eat crap. While you eat be very conscious that this is how the joints pain is made, how body fat is made. Don't stop.

4. While you eat healthy or go to a park or to gym or you walk also be very conscious that this is how fit people are made and that after doing it you are a little bit more fit than just before. If you keep this course for 3 years you will be very fit.

[video] Redundant Perception and State Estimation for Reliable Autonomous Racing
Coincidentally, I had exactly just that thought about a week ago whilst I was staring out at a nearby mountain.

I have very little knowledge about this kind of problem, but to me, it seems like a solvable problem - there has been some interesting work in reconstructing 3D models from photographs of objects (I have a friend who did his masters in something similar) and I don't doubt that people working on that type of problem would likely have some ideas for approaching this one.

Though to make it tractable one would perhaps want to "weight" the algorithm / start the search from likely vantage points (i.e. from inside cities / on top of buildings, and along roads), and take some discrete samples of what the mountain range would look like at various angles from that point.

I wonder if it would be possible to do something similar to a binary search or Newton's method type thing where if you have two nearby points looking at the same mountain range, you could figure out the probability that the actual vantage point lies somewhere in the vague area between those points, and so get a better idea of where to take more precise samples after you've started with a few discrete samples.
Thanks, but I was more thinking along the lines of installing a new OS (Linux) and running Android apps (e.g. for banking) in a sandbox. Is that possible?

The best decision I ever made was when I bought my first computer and when I started working in an internet cafe here in Romania (so I can learn what a computer is and how it works).

I was 19-20 years old, without a home of my own (sleeping on 2 chairs side by side for many years in a single room with my grandparents), working in a fast food and with almost no education (just high school night classes done - I was working since I was 17.).

I've started learning on my own (every day I read), learned Linux and at 36 I am an accomplished man. Ambition, self education, learning and reading got me where I am now... and maybe a bit of luck.

Also there's no way the rest of EU is going to accept for UK to stay in the EU with the same privileges as previously (non use of euro, tax exemptions...). Especially since UK was one of the most critical members, now EU has more incentive to move forward.

Sounds more like a UI bug/oversight than intentional deception.

Google Maps UI has a feature to display your set home address, once you turn off tracking or whatever it no longer has access to that home address in its UI so the default state is to ask you to set one.

If that's the case then the real problem would be that the address data is siloed off somewhere in your Google account under maps and isn't accessible to be changed/cleared from your general account settings.

Founding a startup. Two years before that I had very low self-esteem, due to having dropped out of a PhD program and coming back to my country, basically giving up the life I had built abroad over a few years. It took me one year to go back to being a functional person, and after one more year working at a company I felt confident and wholesome again.

Then I quit that company and co-founded a startup, to which I dedicated myself 100%. In 6 months we had a functional product. In retrospect, that might easily have gone south, but I had the good luck of choosing to build a product that obviously had a market, and the extremely good fortune of having great partners.

I never would have thought that one day I would achieve such professional and financial success.

I am an introvert and have difficulty making and maintaining contacts. Yet all of this was possible because of people I knew. On the other hand, it was my history of dedication, passion for engineering, and 'tackling difficult engineering problems' that led to people having a high respect for me and my abilities.

Introverts, consider that possibility that people respect and like you more than you think.

Anything I can find is either spyware-riddled, probably backdoored, or so out of date that purchasing it makes it as expensive as a flagship phone.

>The USD is the dominant currency because USA is the dominant military power by an order of magnitude.

Wrong. The USD was dominant currency because USA was the only major country untouched by WW2. Every other major country had it's infrastructure bombed and shattered. It is the dominant currency today because everyone is lazy to change the status quo as long it is working.

If USA upsets the status quo it will be replaced. Just ask your cousins across the Atlantic how that works.
