None of this explains why you think that your code in which "a VM instruction is just a pointer to the C function implementing it" is direct threaded. If you call a C function for each VM instruction, and that function returns before the next C function is called, then your threading is not direct.
For me, terseness is necessary for correctness.

I don't just do this with APLish languages; I do this with C (and lisp, and PHP, and others...)

I've only ever written short programs correctly: If they can fit on a page, I can just look and see whatever bug I might be experiencing.

If someone wants to change my software, it's because they want it to do something that I don't want it to do. They will find value in the fact it is short: That there isn't very much to read. Admittedly, a programmer unexperienced in this method may have some anxieties about it, but given how valuable correctness is, I'd prefer to cause a bit of anxiety in beginners than make programs that need beginners to fix them.
I had one of them as a kid. I believe I had a set of space related disks, and seeing things like Gemini, Soyuz, Apollo spacecraft and moon walks in 3D like that just made it magical for me, and gave 6 year old me a strong passion for aerospace as I grew up.

An example of compiling the CPython interpreter to WebAssembly can be found in Pyodide (https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide/).
I wouldn't be so sure about that; cultures can vary by country, and cultures include mannerisms.

For example, people in different countries count money differently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfOsjV7TXoc
Yep; but I think is also the fault of the educational system, like nobody told me when I was young that even the worst pain I have ever felt is not one percent of how bone cancer hurts, that I have never felt an amount of confusion that compares with schizophrenia or alzheimer, an amount of apathy and disdain that compares with clinical depression, and so on.
The BBC (it think) produced a mini series of and then there were none recently. Very, very good.
The way it's usually done now is, people simply go with implementing some kind of a PSM ("programmable state machine"), which is essentially a tiny microprocessor, and then let the program do the, say, drawing (by either setting bits in video memory, sending commands to an SPI display, or directly generating VGA signals).

Encouraging individuals or groups to have their own notions of who owns what seems like a surefire way for warlords & petty tyrants to take over local economies.

Depends on what you're using the exchange rates for. The rates used by Visa only change once per day, as an example.
It's not about the tech, it's about the politics. If everybody agrees Redis is the way to go, sure, go ahead and optimize it. But what if there's a VP who's been arguing that using Redis is a mistake and you should be switching to MongoDB?

For DIY projects and mechatronics modding you can surely refer to the latest, just released “Robot Builder’s Bonanza” 5th ed. book, here from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Robot-Builders-Bonanza-Gordon-Mccomb/... . More in general, it depends on what you do want to achieve: reinforcement learning is the latest hottie with small robotics and a very good academic lab with a lot of public materials is in Zurich at ETH http://rpg.ifi.uzh.ch
It's actually pretty easy to understand. Affordability is not and never was the priority in San Francisco. What are the priorities are things like environmental issues, keeping the police in check (making it politically impossible to enforce any norms of civilized behavior, e.g. don't use drugs outdoors in plain sight), catering to every imaginable niche in society (the city has five legally-sanctioned languages and every ballot is printed in all five), having the best food, and providing some form of health insurance to even the lowest people on the income ladder.

A lot of this policy is admirable in its intent but has the (mostly) unintended side-effect of making everything horrendously expensive. How could it be anything else...new construction in San Francisco requires years of permit approvals, solar panels on the roof, there's pretty much a ban on any non-union labor in construction, etc.

All the employers know this, so they pay salaries that make it worthwhile for people to show up. So you end up with hordes of people making $200-300K paying $100K/year in taxes and $40-50K for a babysitter for your kids because your parents or other family live halfway across the country and nobody can afford to live here on $20-30K when single rooms in a 4br place cost north of $1K/month after tax. Oh, and the schools, roads, and other infrastructure are pretty bad, too, and there's trash everywhere.

The real suckers seem to be the companies willing to pay the wages to keep this whole huge ponzi scheme going. The whole thing is a massive transfer from shareholders to local land owners, and government employees.

I'm not being cynical, this is just how it works, after living here for seven years. The city has 800K people and an operating budget of $8 billion. That's $10K/head and it's still potholes and unfunded pensions.
This is fascinating. I didn't realized the scientists had developed such a detailed understanding of depression.
That's an idealised position, but not always a realistic one. Having specialists who understand certain parts of a complicated system better than anyone else is often valuable. Beyond a relatively small size of project, no-one can be an expert on everything, and a "shared code ownership" strategy where all code is communally maintained may leave you with no true expert when you need one.

The underlying problem here wasn't really that someone "owned" that code, but that when someone else did have a useful suggestion to make, politics overrode technical merit. Clearly that had been happening for a long time and resulted in several other potentially useful contributions by others being wasted as well. This seems to be a problem of toxic management culture, not a flaw in the technical processes.
I don't find it that concerning for a couple reasons.

1) Much serverless code will be vendor specific anyways. Anecdotally I'd say at least half of all serverless code I've written was to deal/work with vendor services.

2) You can easily write code to be platform independent with a thin wrapper for whichever serverless system you are currently using. This is pretty straightforward unless you are using vendor services, in which case you are locked in anyways due to that dependency.
+1. The fact that HR's involved strongly suggests that OP was messing with something he had no business to touch.
I don't disagree with that :) But it would be an interesting experiment to build a JS-free web runtime and see how/if we could get more predictable resource usage this way.
Because when you have horizontally scaled to 1000 servers, when the next request comes in, it's very likely to hit a different server from last time.

So your cache hit rate is going to be horrendous. Take the cache hit rate you'd have for a single server, and divide it by 1000, the odds of getting the same server again. So if your cache hit rate was 80%, now it's 0.08%.

Of course you could arrange for a user's requests to hit the same server as last time, but that's sticky sessions.
This was (is?) a service also provided by some loyalty cards that have small versions that attach to the keyring, most notably some grocery store cards. Checking what's on my keyring right now, Mariano's (WI/IL chain, now owned by Kroger) appears to have this.

Albertson's at least had this policy in 2004, with some details from an employee: http://www.goodexperience.com/tib/archives/2004/06/albertson...
Reminder: Any CIA or MI6 agent who lasted more than a week in the Soviet Union had diplomatic cover. The NKVD and KGB caught all of our deep cover agents within days; in some cases within hours.

The United States excels at sigint and aerial/orbital recon, but the Russians have been top-notch at humint for a long time.
One way to get around vendor lock-in if you're worried about it, is to use a shim that translates the proprietary code to a basic http interface. So you just write your code as it it were a basic interface. There are tools like apex up, https://github.com/apex/up which do this already, though at the moment only support aws, but could eventually be setup to push to any provider.
Spot on. It's such a fascinating dynamic - on the one hand, you've got large players with incredibly deep pockets, coasting on market inertia despite utterly dysfunctional internal structures.

On the other, you've got small, scrappy teams whose survival depends on quality, because they only ever have a month or two of payroll in the bank.
Amusingly, when I lived in Germany in my twenties, people never seemed to assume I was an American military wife and homemaker. They would greet me in German, assuming I was a local national, or assume I was French or assume I was a teacher. I apparently didn't read as American.
Yes and Amazon built their own globally distributed infrastructure,DynamoDB and RedShift - a purposefully play on shifting from Oracle - a random company isn’t going to do that. And it took 10 plus years. Again a random company is not going to take on a ten year plan to move from Oracle.
Ironically, a (public) company can totally be my company. Wheress the government will never belong to me.

Always cracks me up when people think corporations are full of evil people but noble government would never be similarly evil.

APL is a read syntax for point-free function chaining in which the operators have one-character names, and may be juxtaposed without intervening whitespace.

Relative to APL, the interesting matters in Lisp tend to lie on the other side of the AST hill.
> I love how everyone always shat on PHP (the original serverless technology...

I like and use PHP, and you absolutely can create serverless solutions with PHP, but you may be confusing "serverless" with "stateless". PHP itself is in no way intrinsically more "serverless" than other options.
Individual "masters craftsmen" have always figured out things like this way before they have become common practice. But I think original poster was meaning "we" as a profession stabilizing on standard good practices that everyone knows and uses, not just a few masters.
Yes, I'd love to be able to use Manta every day. It's pretty crazy to write a simple shell pipeline and have it actually run not on my local machine but on all the data nodes.
The existence of moles both within the CIA and MI6 had a little bit to do with that.
What you are missing is that there is a particular organism that is not killed by normal safe water treatment and has been found in many city water supplies. When you drink it or get it on your body it doesn't matter, your digestive system handles it, that's why they don't have a concern with normal use. You can eat it, put it on your skin, it's okay.

But this particular organism can hurt you if it goes into your nostrils. It is found in many city water supplies, and I suppose the reason is there's something about typical water treatment that doesn't kill it. In both cities I have lived in it was there. My wife use's neti pots and knew about this. The first time I heard you couldn't use tap water for your nose, I thought it must be wrong, because "of course tap water is safe and treated". I have also swam in fresh water pools, usually a natural hot springs, that has a warning about this same organism. If you swim and water gets in your nose in those pools there is a chance it could get into your brain and kill you.
Bookmarked. The categories could be more specific though and the trends seem a bit vague.

Ask HN: What's a cool old/vintage computer to buy?
Are there any cool computers from the 80s/90s you'd recommend picking up that aren't super expensive or rare?

Just want to have some fun messing around with an old system to see what its like and get a better understanding of what computers used to be like. I started on Windows 95 so never had a chance to experience any of these old systems.

Thanks!
I don't know what to tell you. Try this: Google [browser rce], and then [browser ace] (or [browser ace vulnerability] or whatever). It'll be immediately apparent what the term of art for drive-by code execution vulnerabilities in browsers is.

I sort of intellectually in the back of my head know that "arbitrary code execution" is a term that has been coined and used in the past, but I don't offhand know of anyone that uses it (among other things, it's kind of redundant). "Local only" code execution vulnerabilities aren't "LCE", but rather (usually) "privilege escalation".
I honestly don’t understand why this hasn’t been PHP’s niche for years. It’s exactly what the language has been doing for years. That’s why PHP hosting is so cheap.
Putting power down each linw costs money, ditto for maintaining cabling to each home.

Setting an expectation of free 911 service is fine in the cellular world where its a minor nusiance to support, but in the context of a rapidly shrinking customer base (for incumbent telcos) its a very expensive burden.
And not only that, and not only in this picture. I was being ironic.
And you still wouldn’t store that locally. You may cache it locally - something you could also practically do with lambda.

Maybe, but there's also an inherent counterintelligence asymetry between a liberal democracy and a totalitarian police state (which is why in a liberal democracy, the counterintelligence services are often trying to simulate a totalitarian police state.)
I think it might be useful as an object lesson in security, drop a few outside your business, some larcenous genius plugs it in, blammo, magic smoke. They will be charged for the laptop, and given a lecture about introducing viruses to the company network.
I've happened on a similar solution after years of testing --- pfSense in a VM (with a dedicated NIC) on my NAS + backup box, and two Ubiquiti AC Pros. By far the fastest, most robust, and easy to configure system, plus nice benefits like pfBlockerNG (similar in functionality to a Pi Hole) and OpenVPN. Tutorials and documentation are generally pretty good for pfSense and UniFi is extremely intuitive.
You can cause harm to others laptops without this device? The consequences for both parties are the same.
I can't exactly fault the default response to be, "I don't get it. Just get off your butt and go for a jog. I always feel better when I do that."

I've been living with depression for almost two decades now. I took up running a few years ago and you're right, it did make me feel good. But there was no way for me to keep it up through the Waterloo winters with mountains of snow, disgusting brown slush, and deadly black ice.

So I stopped late in the fall and restarted in the spring. I tried to keep active during the winter with an exercise bike and a rowing machine, but it's not the same. Every time I got back to the spring it felt like I was starting over.

Now, just over a year ago, I started university (at Waterloo) and the enormous challenge and stress of the workload drove exercise out of my immediate priorities. With the stress I ate more and gained weight, and stressed more over school without the calming relief of exercise.

This past summer I tried taking up running again, after exams. I ended up breaking my ankle, which is not surprising given that I was so out of shape and trying to push myself too hard over a shorter window.

Now the depression is stronger than ever. I don't know how I'm going to finish my degree.

Another reason I post this here is to ask for advice how much CPUs and memory you would suggest for a site like that. It's hosted on EC2.

Copper containers are actually great at killing bacteria.

But high levels can cause health problems, including kidney damage and possibly cancer.

Between dying of dysentery and risking long term health issues it's a simple choice.

But unless your doctor specifically tells you to add more copper, you shouldn't be going out of your way to get it.

As others have said, npm has ways of marking a package version as deprecated and npm also has scoped packages.

So if you wanted to stop maintaining your very own `right_pad`, you could mark it as deprecated so devs installing it get a warning in the CLI, and I could then publish my own `@klathmon/right_pad` and if you want you could endorse it in your readme if you wanted.
Correct. But the difference in China they are making this sort of system cover a hundred times as many areas of living.
With regard to my earlier comment aboutcreating a number of10TB (or 1TB etc) that contained as much of the printed journals, scanned to these drives, with a built in browse and search facility built in to be shipped out to many any places to bypass ISP limits. Updates could be added as needed. To be sure specialization will create a cohort of these drives. A math person wants math journals, biology wants bio journals etc, so every small colleg or university in India or Africa can have this facility on their local web.

In terms of dissolved minerals sure, but there's two important distinctions to make. The tank isn't just accumulating deposits, there's an anode rod inside that's designed as a sacrificial element to protect the tank itself from corrosion. That anode rod gets consumed over the course of a decade so while it's not much, it is being introduced into the water. Also those deposits provide a porous substrate for bacteria to grow on and the heat will help things along.

Afaik autocorrect doesn’t work for Slovenian. And even if it does, most people I know have it disabled because our colloquialisms use a lot of English, some German, plenty of Serbocroatian, and sometimes Italian. We often spell those loan words our own way.

This combination of languages and intentionally incorrect spellings makes autocorrect total trash.
I went to Pyramiden a couple of years ago, and I'd recommend the visit to anyone. It's very interesting, an hour long boat ride from the main settlement, Longyearbyen. The population there is 2500ish people of which 500 are college students. Being in the arctic circle, it gets 24 hours of daylight in the summer and 24 hours of darkness in the winter. Part of Norway, the whole Svalbard archipelago is one of the only places in the world you don't need a visa to live -- if you show up, you can stay, so long as you don't commit a crime or go broke in the process, in which case the governor sends you back to Oslo.
The tag I'm thinking of was metallic as well. I'm sure it must have had a serial number stamped on it along with an address, but what I remember was that it was an irregular shape, perhaps with little flathead screwdriver-heads on the corners or something like that. And I'm not sure how accurate my memory from that time can possibly be, I imagine I only remember it because I was fascinated by the thought of putting something not-mail in the mailbox and I asked my father about it.
If you read the sibling comment where Spooky23 cites the HHS page on HIPAA, it might be worth ruminating on that versus your interpretation of why your company's lawyers lay out the training in the way that they do.

That they have a different company risk profile doesn't necessarily change the facts at hand. And, TBH, they don't have to tell you the truth if it helps achieve their immediate goals. (They can tell you you'd be personally and criminally liable. It might make you do what they want better. It might also not be true.) Or it may all be in good faith. But what you describe doesn't square with anything I've ever worked with, at multiple clients and employers.
