> Why wouldn't the WASM JIT retpoline all code (probably only if the underlying processor needs it) rather than relying on the guest programs to do it themselves.

Possible, but is that then a runtime option in the WASM header? How does it know if the program needs the cost of retpoline or not? And how can a program ensure that it's getting such mitigations when it needs them?

> Once again, wouldn't the JIT be able to enforce this at runtime?

The JIT has no insight into the app's malloc/free usage, so no, it can't. There is no system allocator in WASM, just a big chunk of linear memory that the app does whatever it wants with.

For an actual case study in why this is risky all you have to do is look at OpenSSL's heartbleed. If it had been using the system's malloc/free (which WASM doesn't have) instead of using its internal free lists then heartbleed largely wouldn't have existed on platforms like OpenBSD.

That's not even close to answering the question. People dying in a regional famine is the fault of the government.

More widely crop failure and famine are very different things. Consider, Ireland was exporting food during the Irish potato famine.

Could very well be a scam. Or it could just be that the big tech companies really suck at information verification.

My small company gets three or four phone calls or e-mails a week from people who think it's a different business, and each time I ask, they say they got the number from Google.

Looking at my e-mail, the most recent one was from someone who wanted to place a big catering order with a Subway sandwich shop about 2,000 miles away.

I don't blame Google exclusively, though. For almost ten years, Facebook has been telling people that I am a large building in another state.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone defend imperialism by saying that it wasn't true capitalism.
It's not spelled out explicitly. Rather, what's missing from the standard is the requirement that a null pointer is all-bits-zero, or that reinterpret_cast'ing it to an integer type produces a zero (note that even these two are actually separate). This is deliberate - there have been platforms in the past where null pointer had a non-zero bit pattern for largely the same reasons (null address was valid and useful).
According to the opposition open letter, Plan S includes "A prohibition on publishing in either subscription or “hybrid” (i.e. partially open access) journals,"

I don't see why that should be a requirement. So long as papers are made available for free, why should it matter if they are also available in a paid journal?

Does it make sense to have a common rendering engine library that is common to both browsers and GUI desktops?

So something like a react rendering engine but the type of nodes change when you use it in different environments:

1. Using it on desktop for GUI: The nodes are like the native GUI elements for that OS

2. Using it on the web: the nodes are whatever HTML DOM nodes that have to be rendered
I've yet to see a standard-conforming C app that relied solely on the standard library - which, of course, includes malloc/free - to not run across all platforms (that have a filesystem and a console, or some equivalent input/output facilities, anyway).

Popularity amongst the masses of 9-5 brogrammers who code for money and have no artistic sense when it comes to programming doesn't really imply quality. All the programming languages that are truly technically great - today - have small userbases. They're not easily digestible by mediocre coders, require some upfront effort and an open mind. Since the vast majority of professional programmers today are average at best, languages like Erlang, Haskell, Ocaml, Lisp, Smalltalk will never be popular.

It follows then that when looking for quality one should actually reverse popularity.

No; it's a punishment for breaking the law, with (ideally) the punishment scaling to create a similar deterrent to everyone in the society.
Of course it can be many of those things. I was just pointing out that policing does not seem to be favored by the local government. In most of those other instances there were police officers available, so availability of police in the general case has not been the reason for why crimes were not stopped, when there was ample opportunity to stop them.

I view intrinsic curiosity as different from exploitation-exploration, the latter of which has its roots as far back as WWII and bandit problems.

Imho, curiosity is something fundamentally different than randomly trying new stuff in hopes of finding something with higher reward. Some of the artificial curiosity/intrinsic motivation work in RL seems to suggest this as well.

At least in my country, there are two forbidden concepts in traffic law of "excessive speed": one is driving over the defined limit, another is driving at an inadequate speed for the conditions. If you get into an accident because you couldn't stop, but could have if you had been going slower, you're guilty of the latter (that's the gist, exceptions apply).
"Solipsism may be logically consistent with present quantum mechanics" - Eugene Wigner
Fining me twice as much because I work double the hours is unfair

That is one way to frame the situation - there are many others, but in all your comments you act as if there is only one way to frame these things - yours, and all other ways are unfair, wrong, absurd etc. I'm not sure why.

Then there's your "Life should be unfair because life's unfair" argument:

"I think that punishment should only consider the crime. Anything else is discrimination. Those with less wealth can buy fewer apples, fewer burgers, and pay for fewer speeding tickets. Such is life."

But I guess in your framing of that, it's not unfair, because everyone who has twice the money has worked twice as hard. Maybe that is the situation when you compare yourself with some people you know - I guess that's where that comes from. But using that as if it applies to everyone in the world, leads to strange conclusions, or so it seems.

I guess everyone does the "applying situations in their life to the world" thing all the time, but you sound so far right-wing, I wonder if this it where that comes from - it's not uncommon in the media to hear wealthy people calling the poor lazy, or arguing there should be no welfare etc, sounding totally selfish and heartless. As if because they're ok, everyone else should be also. Maybe they just frame things like you do - "if they had worked harder they wouldn't be poor, if so it's because they're lazy." etc.

For one thing, some people become poor because of dealing with unexpected diseases, or bad accidents, or bad luck, or divorce, or..a multitude of things. Some people become wealthy for equally random reasons. Your model totally ignores all such things, as if "shit doesn't happen" in this world. And as if everyone starts out life with the same amount in the bank.

p.s. I appreciate you writing about your experience and beliefs on this page, thanks.

I meant n articles per issue more than allowing articles to be length>m. My bad for the in-clarity :)

I agree, in theory, with your point. I think the unfortunate thing that is lost in most efforts at concision are lack of detail rather than fluff. Fluff is bad, but I think detail is important...especially detail on how things are situated in prior literature. As a reviewer, I have often found there to be a lot of articles using 'strategic concision' to gloss over not doing things properly, or flat our not knowing what you are doing. Saying 'we used method x' means I have to trust you did it properly...or infer from other things how well you did it. Supplementary material could be a potential route here, but I just sent an article back for the second time. The first time they did the 'we did x' and I asked for more detail. The second time they said 'we did x by doing y and z'...but y and z were very very wrong.

There are places where being able to explain concepts concisely are important or a viable tactic. Journal manuscripts are (in theory) a permanent archive of new knowledge for human society and have never struck me as the place were concision is a relevant parameter.

There is some scam going on in Lake Powell, AZ. We visited there in September and yelped a well reviewed place: CNG Burgers. We arrive there and can't find it. It simply isn't there. And not just isn't there - there is NO trace of it on the building that matched the address (like where there would a lighter shade of paint behind where the restaurant sign was - at least according to the photos on Google Maps).

Oh well, onto the restaurant across the street. Asked the waitress there about CNG Burgers - she's never heard of it and said that she's worked there for a year. I looked on Google Maps and CNG received a ton of recent reviews.

Reading this thread compelled me to look at it again. Finally, Yelp is listing it as closed (I reported it as such), however, there are reviews as recent as 2 weeks ago.

On Google Maps, it's still active - all recent reviews by Local Guides.

Still not sure what it all means.

They are used by people and infrastructure that are exposed to avalanche terrain. This usually involves alpine touring or snowmobiling, but in certain areas, e.g. Norway, a lot of roads and other infrastructure has been built right below dangerous slopes.

They are used to evaluate what risks and consequences that are involved in certain route choices. Should you choose to go up on a north or south facing slope today? Do we need to fire these gas cannons and trigger an avalanche today to avoid having an avalanche reach the rail tracks tomorrow?

This City’s Overdose Deaths Have Plunged. Can Others Learn from It?
In Melbourne, we have a special police force (protective services officers) to patrol train stations at night.

The anti-authoritarian in my dislikes them, but by all accounts (especially from my female friends), they're actually great. Their mandate is only to stop violence and disorderly behaviour, and they're actually super chill. Ticket inspection and fare evasion isn't part of their purview, which means they're not just armed ticket inspectors. I've had lost of friendly conversations with them while waiting for the train. Compare this to Sydney, where they post full fledged police officers with drug dogs at train stations, which is straight up fascist.

The PSOs are also really great at helping out with medical emergencies. I actually see them applying first aid more often than I seem them arresting people.

I know that HN is generally an anti-police crowd, and I have no idea what the financial implications would be for getting something like that on the BART (in Melbourne there's generally 2 officers at each station), but they do generally make the train stations a lot safer at night. I don't want to wade too deep into the gun control debate, but it also helps that petty criminals in Australia don't have guns. Unless you're involved with organised crime, there's almost chance you'll be a victim of gun violence here.

I wonder how that squares with federal law.

Federal law requires that states take measures to prevent such usage. Florida did what I explained. An alternative might be to make the usage a criminal offense, or to impose a fine on the driver, or to destroy any vehicle used for that purpose.

I don't see how Illinois can do as you say and still have federal highway funding.

Presumably they'd be open to the same kind of suit, which IMHO is appropriate.

The issue at hand here is standing: do consumers have the right to sue for antitrust violations or is that limted to the app/game vendors who paid the markup most directly? The supreme court isn't going to decide on the merits of the specific case (because the original case in district court was thrown out due to standing -- this is the appeal of that decision) or whether or not Apple's 30% cut is appropriate.
It depends on how much waving you do actually need for your career or personal satisfaction, though. All these openness, transparency and calls to dialogue are the exact opposite I can see in my industrial, applied field of research.

I don’t have the numbers to back this up, but I strongly suspect that if the true cost of driving (both in terms of environmental destruction and massive land use and construction cost for roads and parking lots) were reflected in the price of cars or gas, people simply wouldn’t be able to afford the luxury of a private commute, and mass transit systems would be able to compete even without any public funding at all.

No one has made a decision on that issue, and that's not what's being appealed. The question here is about who can sue, not whether there is an antitrust violation.

There's no tool I'm aware of, but with experimental features enabled in the Docker CLI you can use `docker manifest inspect` on each image manifest and diff the content. e.g. `docker manifest inspect ubuntu:latest`.

This requires that you have logged in to the registry, pushed the image to the registry and have `docker pull` rights for the image. You could also run a registry locally, push your image there and inspect your registry's storage db. There's just no CLI command to do that.

Sure it is. Microsoft software deployment on client is a dumpster fire.

Blindly installing Windows updates these days is very dangerous and should be avoided. Your best approach for avoiding malware is to use browsers like Firefox and Chrome. Critical task workflows should be in LTSB, iOS or ChromeOS.

Microsoft’s guidance is to have around four deployment rings each for Windows and Office, and only immediately patch 10-20% of your enterprise environment and defer to avoid impacts from the quality issues that are very common as Microsoft is supporting like a half dozen Windows 10s.
