In German, it is Majestix for the chief and Gutemine for his wife.

Gutemine is a play on German saying "Gute Miene zu Bösem Spiel", meaning keeping a happy face in bad circumstances.
Humans make the conscious decision to override instinctual and observational impulses all the time in response to empathy and emotion.

This statement is misleading.

"Instinctual and observational impulses" is poorly defined, but the low latency cognitive systems I think you are describing (such as object categorization) are inputs to higher executive functioning systems which determine behavior.

The fact of and ability to "override" generalizes too much about how these low latency systems are prioritized a-priori. In other words, some of them seem to be able to be able to be re-prioritized fairly easily (positive/negative response to specific olfactory stimuli), while others approach impossible without motor system intervention (Not reacting to severe pain stimuli).

It's categorically misleading to separate these from all other functions of Perceive > Process > Respond as all decisions are all built on the same reinforcement learning foundations.
That doesn't help if the past key is cracked.
I have a Samsung 970 Pro, which is NVMe m.2 SSD. It still took an hour to install the feature update like 1809.

I believe someone mentions that feature updates like 1809/1803/etc are not actual patches based on current install, it is a complete OS reinstall, which explains the slow install.
Unnecessary in the general case.

RDTSC is the assembly instruction needed to read the current timestamp for the current core (not necessarily synchronized to the whole system). Modern RDTSCs do NOT read the cycle-count, because frequencies change due to "Turbo Boosts" and other such optimizations. (See here for more details: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/rdtsc-in-the-ag...)

A modern RDTSC reads at the "base clock". If your base clock is 3.6 GHz, the RDTSC ticks at 3.6GHz (even if your processor can turbo to 4GHz or 5GHz like the i9-9900k). So RDTSC is not the same from processor-to-processor, but it is consistently the most granular micro-benchmarking clock available on x86 systems.

The main issue with RDTSC is that task-switches may cause your thread of execution to change cores or mess up your timing, especially in long runs. So Windows / Linux have higher-level performance counters that take task switches into account, but have lower granularity. For Windows, this is "QueryPerformanceCounter", which ticks on my system at roughly 3MHz. Still useful for microbenchmarks, and the guarantee for cross-thread behavior is useful more often than not.

Microsoft documents "QueryPerformanceCounter" as using rdtsc in most cases. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/dxtecharts/...

The rdtsc instruction seems to take ~40 clocks or so according to Agner Fog's instruction tables. Suggesting you can get a high-speed clock in as little as 10ns on a 4GHz x86 computer should you use the raw assembly instruction.

Add a few nanoseconds for a function call, setting up the stack, and some math to "normalize" the rdtsc clock... and the CPUID to clear out pipelines... and 50ns total seems reasonable.

There are some slower clocks available from the motherboard or I/O system. But those should be avoided unless you are running a 2008-era x86 processor (Aka: Nehalem/Westmere. The only Intel processor with "Turbo" frequencies which changed RDTSC timing). Older systems don't have turbo, newer systems lock RDTSC to the base clock.

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

Anyway, I'm no Javascript guru. But surely there's a way to pass the RDTSC instruction "up" from the assembly level to Javascript code? Or alternatively, maybe an OS-level timer function that's built on top of RDTSC. (QueryPerformanceCounter in windows, or CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in Linux)
Yea, a fan in my laptop was failing and I mostly noticed it on Patch Tuesday.

The druid is Miraculix in German. Miracoli is a brand of instant soups, noodles and sauce. Surely that's an allusion to the magic potion soup. Maggifix would have been a bit too ... I don't know, too much on the nose.

The name is related to miracle, italian miracolo. Now, -lo may appear like a diminutive, but ... well, I was looking for something that would relate colo- to the pot (correctly cauldron ... et voila) and found that colon kinda figures - but only after reading that Obelix might derive from obelus which is either a division sign which would be on par with asterisk as multiplication sign, or also a totem mark as used in footnotes. An obelisk may be a tomb stone, or could mark an areal division of sides. So, there's another parallel, with obelix as the side character. The greek root obelos (staff, rod; dividing line) is probably related to belos - weapon, dart, artillery; quickly moving - so obelix would be the damage dealer, as deal, part, share, divide are somewhat related. Obolus is from obeli, a small share of nails used for currency, so it all kind of checks out.

But in my humble opinion, he's become the main character, the face (Greek ops - eye, face, on the nose, blunt) of the series. Latin ops even means power, force and derives opulent. But in the sense eye, obelix watches over asterix.
This stuff makes my blood boil. However much I appreciate free markets in general (which is quite a bit) I don't think vulnerable users should be sacrificed on an ideological altar. Good for Apple stepping up here.
In the meantime, my restaurant chain's POS systems and my wife's laptop, which keeps the books for us, are constantly having issues. Support for the POSes say to restart the system every day to avoid problems. (Can you believe we have to do that? It doesn't solve all issues, though.) Haven't a clue what to do about my wife's problems except I hope, soon, to be able to just do a full reinstall.

Even better, I hope to replace it altogether with a Linux desktop or, even better, a Mac.

Superheroes for hire – secrets of the 10x engineer
This is well said. Writing well-factored, robust, scalable and easily-maintainable code takes more time than shortcuts. It produces a much better result also, and that time is a worthwhile (and needed) investment only after you've figured out what the final product is.

Iterate quickly, knowing you are building some some technical debt. When you figure out the product, chances are that significant portions of code have been thrown out, and now you should focus on upgrading the quality of that early code.

The engineers I've seen that struggle at early stage startups are the ones who want to go from 0 to 1 on a prototype but want to write well-factored, robust, scalable code because they are worried about how it will be maintained. I can't stress enough, to be successful at most early stage startups, the goal has to be to create a product that people love, and then figure out how to get it maintainable.
> How can you be against cruelty to animals and still regularly consume meat?

What does one have to do with the other? Most livestock live rather comfortable lives compared to their wild counterparts. Less disease, less parasites and of course less predators.

> This question I ask sincerely.

I doubt it. Your question is as absurd as a plant lover asking how you can be against cruelty and eat vegetation? Vegetation is life. The fruit you eat is actually a plant's ovaries and uterus. How disgusting and cruel is that? Or ask a vegan why they have cats and dogs as pets. They are carnivores that eat meat. How can you be against cruelty and own pets?

> There are other equally ethical considerations: global warming, land use, energy/water use, etc. I feel that any one of these should give most people pause.

Then why are you using a computer or smartphone? Do you wear clothes? It's made from cheap labor on the other side of the world? Do you drive a car or use public transportion? What about heat or the AC? Is your home cooled or heated? Why aren't so considerate?

Other than to feel superior and virtue signal, there is no good reason not to eat meat. It's true that we eat too much meat, but we are omnivores. That's the diet we are meant to eat. Veganism is a poor and unnatural diet for humans. I was a vegan for a few months. I know the scam.

Humans are part of nature. It is natural for humans to consume meat. That's why prey animals and livestock exist.

Try Cassandra from the tragedy Agamemnon by Aeschylus. Her psychological torment from having her true predictions go unheeded is every bit as relatable as Hamlet's suffering for very similar reasons. She is an incredibly sympathetic person, not at all a sitcom character.
> In the same way that 20 yards of linen exchange for one coat, although they are qualitatively different, there is a mechanism which allows them to be exchanged.

Indeed. But because they are qualitatively different, the opportunity costs of producing one versus the other are probably different; and if they are, then even if Alice can produce both more efficiently than Bob, Bob has a comparative advantage in one.

Similarly, one can say - and likely be correct - that an agricultural veterinarian is worth more than a stevedore. But if We, The Central Authority conclude that therefore We Shall Have ag-vets and not stevedores, then suddenly stevedores' value will increase, due to the decrease in supply as that policy is implemented.

> >How does believing that people's potential wealth is predetermined, change things?

> We weren't talking about wealth, we were talking about the worth of a person. I do not mean that in economic terms. Mental and physical abilities are useful for much more than producing things of economic value, and for the great majority of human history they haven't been directed to producing things of economic value.

For the great majority of human history, humans have been without the invention called economics-as-we-know-it-today. And economics - even in the absence of a market - can, at least, analyze almost all of human action and reaction. (With a free market, it can also drive it, with all the resulting decentralized emergently efficient behavior.)
To be fair, that's _at least_ up to the OS, and iOS does do this. Every in app purchase has to be approved from an OS-provided dialogue that requires hardware interaction to approve.

One problem I have seen from this was an ancestry app that prompted you to scan your fingerprint to "find your relatives", and then would prompt for IAP, which asks for Touch ID approval. Because you already had your thumb on the reader, it would more or less instantly be approved. Unsure if Apple has made any changes around this yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/9bxw0f/this_ancestr...

This is particularly true of people management. Small companies aren't set up to help people transition to people management whereas FAANGs have a proven track record of doing this successfully. This is why start ups end up with such shitty management. They throw long serving ICs into management roles without support and hope for the best.
> Just make sure they learn to recognize the value of trans-material assets: one can loose their financial wealth in an instant easily, but their reputation, skills, knowledge, intelligence, health, psychological capacity, inner dignity and freedom of compassion, unconditioned vision and decision-making are less volatile.

Your post has good aim but I don't believe this is the case. Financial wealth is relatively trivial to safeguard after a point - particularly more stable forms (if you own a home outright, in a jurisdiction without property tax, it's essentially yours).

By contrast, one could wake up tomorrow suffering amnesia, could be hit by a car, or suffer any number of health ailments that would drastically curtail those "inner" attributes.
There are variants of CityHash that use the x86 CRC intrinsics (CityHashCrc128 and CityHashCrc256). They quote 4.3-5.5 bytes/cycle.[0]

(Better than xxhash on x86, worse than Meowhash -- assuming the bytes/cycle numbers can be compared apples-to-apples, which is a big if.)

I mean a variable-length array, all stored together.

Presumably you'd allocate it on the heap in general. But a record string also requires a heap allocation.

Most of the time you're touching the length you're probably touching the string data too, so that dereference isn't going to cost very much. And it comes with a tradeoff of more compact local data. So I stand by it being not awful! It may not be perfect, but it's a solid option.

I disabled all wake timers so that the machine will never wake itself from sleep
Then, I set the Windows Update active hours to be early in the morning. Now, when I use the computer I wake it from sleep with the keyboard, use it normally, then put it to sleep when done. This has allowed me to install updates when convenient for me since it effectively stops auto update behavior. Sort of like how it should be.

FNV has terrible hash properties (i.e. it fails many smhasher tests as mentioned in TFA), so it isn't really comparable.

SMHasher isn't a hash function? It's a test suite for hash functions.

The others are slower.

> Does staying in contact outweigh the drawbacks?

That's the big question so many of us are struggling with these days!

I would say, if you're not already on FB/IG, DO NOT join. A long time ago many of us thought the commercial / exploitative side wouldn't be so bad, and it wasn't so addictive in the early days because it was harder to use.

And now here we sit, feeling like this is probably a bad idea, but unwilling to give up our "friends" for whatever reason. In my own case, it's because there are a bunch of people I really care about IRL and probably wouldn't keep in minimum touch with otherwise. Or maybe I would... I used to write letters, and the postal services still exist.

I find I use Instagram a lot and Facebook not so much, but every once in a while even FB provides a lot of utility. I find IG a very positive experience, at least for me, at least when I don't think about what Zuckerberg is doing with my data.

I think if the right 20% of my FB contacts left for another, less compromised service; and that service had an IG-like function, which it probably would; then I'd close my accounts. Or ghost on them, since I don't think you can make them actually delete your data, even under GDPR.

Consider yourself lucky, and stay away for personal stuff by all means. If you have to create accounts, do it only for your business.
That's a different issue though.
And there are methods to defend crypto against QC. New algorithms will become more popular as quantum computers become more capable. It is a problem we will face someday and it’s good to start thinking about it and working on it now.
Metafilter is great at stopping spammers and obvious belligerents. It is very poor at keeping out thankless community-ruiners (the “hobby revolutionaries” from the article.)

Ask HN: How to access device backup file on Google drive
So, I'm victim of trusting google too much, and I'm really learning some lessons from it. When I blog about this, it's going to be quite a post. Here's where I am so far: I bought a Nexus 5X from google. It died, in its typical way. No one is taking responsibility -- not google fi, not google play store (where I bought it), not the extended warranty company that sold me the refurbished device while LG was replacing the motherboards of the phones. I had turned on backups. I see it in my drive: Nexus 5X backup. I can't access the file. My new phone doesn't seem to recognize it. I can't download the file. There is no option. And there's a timer on that file for when it will be automatically deleted. What kind of false sense of security is this? Who does this to their customers?? So, I'm looking for a way to either stop that timer with a different device, or to download the backup before it expires. I'm hoping someone can help me with this. Or maybe someone is working on a class action lawsuit? That seems to be the only way these companies get a hint. Unfortunately, LG wiggled out of the last one for the boot-loop issue by promising to extend the warranties for longer. (Which didn't do me any good at all because I had purchased the extended warranty through google play store.) Anyway, is anyone able to help?

I just hope we can figure out a way to create watermarks, like maybe some kind of hash sum incorporating an asymmetric key which is injected by the camera / device, which can provide verification of source and which cannot be overwritten.

Possibly could involve some kind of blockchain tech similar to https://proofofexistence.com. It doesn't solve all of the problems but at least we can begin establishing a record of source. The point is, something needs to be done to augment the trust we have in journalists because it's easy to trick or buy people out.
