The Economist did some great reporting on this a few months back, and it's good to see that the issue is starting to get even more notice across the world.

The Chinese government are basically building a massive surveillance-state in the regions the Uyghur people live, complete with ever-present police, informant networks and possibly over a million people being forced into "re-education camps" (where it's reported they're being subjected to everything from beatings to other forms of abuse). Makes for some pretty grim reading.

You are correct that their CTO has submitted 16 posts this week (not all of them from their own blog), but I don't see the harm in that: less than half of them attract any comments at all and quickly slip beneath the waves.

Also, to be fair, it has been an unusually busy week, as they had a "Crypto Week" during which they announced something genuinely interesting each day, and their 8th birthday was a fair excuse for a navel-gazing post.
The identity involves going through real numbers to get the integer result, and if you're using floating point or fixed point calculations, you need a good amount of accuracy to get the correct integer out, which also won't be the fastest thing. Using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number#Matrix_form you can get a different way to calculate Fibonacci numbers recursively, which involves far fewer computations.

True, I think Crashlytics still doesn't work very well for logging unusual but not crashing program situations. I would like to have an elegant solution for that. I always throw assertionErrors in case something weird happens handling an optional.

However if you adopt different patterns with Swift you can exclude a lot of optionals, for example if you give every View a State enum with associated values you can avoid quite a lot of optionals:

class PersonView: UIView {
enum State {
case empty
case loading(personId: String)
case loaded(person: Person)
}

var state: State = .empty {
didSet {
switch state {
/* handle all different states */
}
}
}
}

Every time you switch state you need to give the right associated value and every time you are in this state this value is guaranteed to be there where before you would have an optional personId and an optional person.

And it's applicable almost everywhere. I barely use optionals anymore unless I really can't replace them with an emum.
What is the best age for parenting before 40 or after 40?
I just sold a house by myself and the line of people with their hand out is infuriating. Even more frustrating, for providing their automated gesture or nod of a service, they want a PERCENTAGE.

For example, to just do all the paperwork, a realtor might offer a "transaction only" service for "only" 1%. Regardless of property value, it's the same paperwork and usually done by a clerk. I instead went to an honest (!) attorney, flat rate for his time, it was around $1500 to do the same task. He reviewed contracts, attended closing, gave advice. Easy, done.

I think there's so much monetary friction from these parasites that any automation and fair pricing will erase whole professions.

If you see vultures circling a dying or dead animal, does it mean they killed it? The vultures show up when something is dying or dead.

TSLAs financials have been a disaster for a long time. Its stock price has been completely disconnected from reality for a long time. Musk/TSLA fans have buoyed the stock price, but people are starting to realize that even if the TSLA car is nice it doesn't mean it's a good company.

> aren't shorts self-fulfilling eventually if the people taking this positions are powerful enough?

Powerful enough to do what? There is not some grand short conspiracy. TSLA and Musk have given the shorts all they need. Yes, a lot of short interest could cause people not to go long, but because people use short interest as a proxy to something is wrong at the company. It only takes 2 mins of research to see that TSLAs financials are a disaster. The CEO is on Twitter calling people pedophiles and now looks to have committed securities fraud. The shorts are a symptom of the problems of the company, they are not the cause.

> Add to that the ability of people to win on large short positions by selling shares 'they' are holding (pushing the price down),

First, you're making an assumption this person holds enough shares to move the market (millions of shares change hands per day in TSLA). Second, there are all sorts of rules around market manipulation of that type. If someone is moving that kind of money to move TSLA with the sort of daily volume it has, then that person is on the radar.

You know Musk how could screw all the shorts? Get off Twitter and execute. Hit a target more than once a year. Actually make some money. Unfortunately it may be too late because of the TSLA debt load (added to by the Solar City bailout which was itself shady).

Kenneth Graunke – Optimizing I965 for the Future
So... before looking at the code, I compared the elapsed time between the fib.rs program compiled with `rustc -O` and `rustc -O -C lto`. This yielded, interestingly, a ~500ms difference: ~6.45s vs ~6.95s (with LTO winning).

Then I looked at the code, and it began to make no sense. Then I looked at the assembly, and it made even less sense: the main function, fib::fib, which is where the vast majority of the time is spent, is identical, except for addresses.

I was starting to think, well, this might be related to instruction-cache lines... and it looks like it's not that:

Not even 20 seconds. Yeah, maybe the mills of the old COBOL databases of my local bank who is probably already calling it a day this time on a friday might grind a few days before there is an 'actual' transaction or whatever.

I suspect a lot has to do with labor costs. I could theoretically hire a full-time assistant who could take care of lots of tasks for me either directly or by contracting it out. But, for most individuals in the US or Western Europe, doing so would be cost prohibitive.

Aggregating and streamlining these services do help. In dense enough areas, some people who couldn't have afforded a personal driver use Uber. But relatively few people have the luxury of contracting out all their day-to-day routines.
Yes it is. Before when a potential employer saw a cannabis conviction on a criminal records check they would have potentially ignored it because it is no longer a crime.

for the record, the 'useless function call' paragraph is known as eta-conversion in the FP world. see: https://wiki.haskell.org/Eta_conversion

An eta conversion (also written η-conversion) is adding or dropping of abstraction over a function.
For example, the following two values are equivalent under η-conversion:
\x -> abs x
and
abs
That has mostly to do with the fact that the code isn't manipulating objects at all. As soon as you're starting pointer chasing in languages where almost everything is an object like javascript performance will suffer.

Yeah, and for PCB's which are worthy of reverse engineering, there is still A LOT of work to do beyond getting the netlist and components. On the other hand circuit designs, in most cases, closely follow datasheet recommendations or reference designs around the core components, so there's a lot of angles that can solve this problem.

The paper, however, seems to be motivated for goals like penetration testing and MITM attacks on hardware _without_ destroying it-- like what "Agent Q" might do in a James Bond film (after Bond is able to pocket the circuit board and deliver it to the lab in an ESD safe pouch).

The far more common and boring scenario would be reverse engineering for the purpose of knock-off products. Not very sexy. Also, do-able in many cases by just noting a few key components, extracting eeprom/flash content and then consulting datasheets.

> Sitting down and actually grasping a full book is becoming a rare skill

Nope. People are more literate today than 70 years ago. People are better educated today and have more schooling. On average, more people have read a full book than before.

Strange to think that people are nostalgic for an era were women ( half the population ) were discouraged from going to college and minorities were denied equal access to education. Even stranger that people think that people were better educated then.

It's statistically impossible for your version of the past to be true.
The point stands, however, that just because developers are forced to handle the `nil` somehow, doesn't mean they're handling it in a sensible way that makes for consistent UX. Crashing sucks from a user perspective, obviously data corruption is even worse, but just throwing up your hands and returning early from a view controller method doesn't really do anything for the user either.

I generally find it useful to have the concept of Optional, making me think about "could this thing be missing?" explicitly. But I've started to wonder if it is, rather than "preventing an entire class of bugs", actually just making them pop up elsewhere when Optional values start brushing up against that top level of user-visible stuff.

Maybe we (I) just need to get better at thinking about missing data conditions at the product design stage, or more robust defaults.
