How much length do you leave between contracts? How have you found scaring up contract work after long layoffs to go?

I'm in a somewhat similar situation but I'm scared to leave too long of a gap. Not so much worried about the resume gap as falling off on networking and the other things that lead to getting more work. It seems like I'll probably end up working mostly continuously for the next couple years while pursuing FIRE.

> idle CUDA cores can be assigned to a different warp.

I have a feeling you're confusing lanes vs. cores here. Individual "threads" (work items) cannot migrate between warps, and every "core" only issues one instruction at a time (per execution port, in some of Nvidia's architectures). Each execution port is a SIMD execution port executing that instruction for multiple work items. If the work items of a warp diverge, some of the lanes of those SIMD execution units will be idle.

This is the exact same behavior as on AMD's GCN, though obviously the terminology is different and some of the other details may be wired differently.

> ACE takes up about 15% of the die space that is big in my book.

I have a feeling that you're just making up numbers here. Can you point to evidence?
I see I misread your comment earlier. But you say:

> Several times he describes volunteering for things others wouldn't do.

But he also describes several times in the book about worrying what others think of him. He worries about how he will be perceived by his director, how he'll be judged by the public.

> You wouldn't do that if you weren't at least indifferent, if not eager, to confront the danger.

He literally describes in the book how he doesn't want to die.

Probably neither of us has the full measure of Jackie Chan, but I for one find it hard to believe in the picture of the happy-go-lucky daredevil action star.
Memory safety issues plague parsers, and often have dire consequences. rust claims to be memory safe. This bug does not invoke memory unsafety.

Yes, things can still be improved, but this is nowhere near as bad as many parsing bugs.
Yeah, it makes far more sense to be open 11-7 or something instead of 9-5 if your clientele will likely also be at work. A lot of smaller restaurants near me are only open for lunch and dinner (11-2, 4-9).

> Maybe it was simple compared to CORBA or something.

Hell no! CORBA was a binary protocol, but it was much easier to reason about and debug than SOAP.

Somebody put that "simple" there with no concern about semantics.
This is facially false. No one eligible for a public sector pension is well off. 130% of nothing is still nothing.

As I mentioned in a nearby post, the average public sector pension was $3,771 per month for 30 years of service. Maybe to you that's "nothing", but to many people that's a very decent supplement to IRAs, savings, and Social Security.

I can't believe the straw man you're creating. No, the average Joe isn't entitled to live in "rich neighborhoods" alongside "professional athletes". And most "doctors" did 8+ years of additional education and training after college. You resent that they are getting paid for that?

Japanese is still like that. No spaces, and lines can just break in the middle of words -- though there are certain cases where word wrap algorithms are not allowed to split lines (and standardized rules for these cases). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_breaking_rules_in_East_As... if you're curious.
This also applies to AMD GCN, though. So if you compare GCN to the earlier TeraScale architecture, you could argue (like a sibling comment does) that AMD's GCN is a scalar architecture and so is Nvidia's.

If you look at the actual hardware, though, they're clearly both vector architectures: each "core" has N SIMD-style lanes executing the same instruction simultaneously; it's just that each of those lanes corresponds to a different work item of the compute dispatch.

This applies equally to AMD's and Nvidia's architectures.
panics are safe. You expect the “I don’t have a bug” case to be fast.

You can, but it depends on what you mean by “character”, as that’s not a concept in Unicode. Every kind of thing you could mean has a method, specific to it, since they’re different things.

(char in Rust is a Unicode scalar value, and you can collect into a Vec<char> and then slice it, as an example of one of those things. And that’s still O(1) at the cost of using up to four times the memory.)
It may not change the value of his business advice... but then again, it may. It may be that he doesn't care about people. It may be that he would recommend you pollute a river to save money. I'm not saying his advice is without merit, I'm just saying there may be side effects of his advice that he's not mentioning, given who he seems to be as a person.

All that said, I haven't met him, I've just read the news, and maybe they have their own narrative and that isn't who he really is. I'm just saying we should consider both sides.

Is the preview frame an iframe? What if your site uses iframe busting?
Not necessarily.

I recently purchased software to the tune of ~AUD$25k, where downloading and installing a trial version makes almost no sense given the target audience: laser cutter, where each model of machine from any specific manufacturer can have a slightly different dialect of G-Code, and this type of software is often way too complicated for the average operator to nut.

So I sent a couple of emails and got swift responses and screen-sharing demos from both companies I contacted.

The sorts of programs I can download a trial version of and have running in half an our or so are nowhere near as mature as the products we short listed.

So I'm going to suggest it depends a lot on the target audience. When you're handing over multiple tens of thousands for a semi-bespoke software package management, in my experience, typically require interaction with a sales agent. This is in the context of physical industry, I can't speak for the software world, where perhaps spending multiple tends of thousands on online services is common? I have no idea.

I don't really understand this, why not have everything people want to go to be open after typical office jobs close? If you are only open for 8 hours, why not open later (11am or so) or have a couple hours that the shop is closed for family time (e.g. 3-5pm or something)?

Closing at 5 isn't convenient for anyone but the business owner, and even then it's not necessarily better than opening later.

> Your point is great if there is an incentive to only benefit the consumer.

The entire point of my comment was explicitly claiming that this isn't required in order for regulation to benefit companies' bottom-line. I'll repeat: there are collective action problems where coordination (between companies) benefits every party (company) in a way that individual (company) action wouldn't, even when the coordination takes the form of constraints on individual behavior. My comment was assuming the model of corporations as solely profit-maximizers, and it still occurs under that assumption.

It's fairly basic game theory. If the defect-defect equilibrium leaves everyone worse off, and defect-cooperate leaves the defector better off than cooperate-cooperate would, then then under certain fairly reasonable assumptions, putting constraints on the behavior of all parties (i.e., regulation) makes the cooperate-cooperate equilibrium stable in a way it otherwise wouldn't be.

Maybe that's why so many US states have dramatically underfunded pension plans (meaning teachers and other pensioners might not actually get their promised pensions when they retire).

This is a very complex topic. I think it's widely agreed that the US Congress can change Social Security benefits at any time. But the pension issue varies in the states. E.g. the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that pensions were sacrosanct:

Justices cited a provision in the Illinois Constitution stating that pension benefits, once granted, “shall not be diminished or impaired.”

Somehow, I find it interesting, so not bad at all.
Yes, you can. You can also recompile the kernel with new options, or do whatever else. This has been misstated repeatedly in this thread, but macOS simply is not backed by a trusted hardware chain, end of story. It's not iOS. With SIP Apple has effectively implemented something like a more granular system immutable flag with kern.securelevel set to 1 like it was back until 10.3 or so (can't remember exactly when they changed it to 0), but just as you could drop down to single user mode back then SIP can also be disabled or modified at will. Having the restricted flag set on a bunch of core system .app bundles under macOS and a sane default policy is simply not the same thing as "you can't get rid of it". And I do think Apple should be legally required to provide decent built-in support for an owner controlled trust chain, but I don't think mixing up "you need to really know and be sure of what you're doing" with "it's hard prevented outside of bugs" is helpful.

That book looks great! Also his writing style is different!

I will note, however, that I really like the fact that the new book has a chapter on compressed sensing. I feel like that was the thing that was always lacking when I was in school. It was like "ok, I get the idea of new bases, now what are some cool ones and how do they tie together." Occasionally someone would throw me a paper on compressed sensing or PCA/SVD or spectral decomposition, but I always felt like I wanted to see a class/book that tied them all together.
Speed is pretty irrelevant. It’s actually acceleration and deceleration that matters.

Association of body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio with brain structure
Well if you're starting a project now that you expect to live for many years, there's the issue of C++ safety now, and C++ safety in the foreseeable future.

Right now projects have the option of building with the santizers (particularly the address sanitizer) enabled, right? The executable would be slower and less memory efficient, but it would eliminate most of the critical CVEs that exploit invalid memory access. Is there a reason Google couldn't provide alternative builds of Chrome with the santizers enabled?

As for the foreseeable future, you can come up with arguments (convincing or otherwise) that C++ will be effectively memory (and data race) safe in the foreseeable future. At some point, presumably the core guidelines lifetime checker will enforce memory safety. To what degree it will in practice is a matter of speculation, but in theory it could be as effective as the Rust compiler.

Just as an observation, if you peruse the chromium source code, from a modern C++ perspective, there seems to me to be an alarming prevalence of raw pointers. (Probably understandable as chromium's been around for a while.) C++ is now a very powerful language, and if (memory) safety is a priority it is already practical (and performant[1]) to avoid the use of notoriously unsafe elements like raw pointers and unchecked buffers in favor of safer alternatives. (It is similarly practical to avoid data race prone elements[2].)

So far, the candle is not worth the match. I can and do easily accomplish plenty well enough the functionality you mention now for just one user, me -- I'm a sole, solo founder. And there is the intellectual property security issue, for a code repository or the cloud, and so far I don't use or really need either. I have lots of good uses for my time and have to allocate carefully.

Similarly, while I'm developing on Windows with no use of Linux at all, I make no use of Visual Studio; I greatly prefer my favorite text editor KEdit and its macro language Kexx, essentially Rexx.

I'm not saying that others should do what I'm doing. By far my favorite tools are KEdit and Rexx. Next comes D. Knuth's TeX.

I accept that if I had 50+ software developers then they would likely be heavy users of Visual Studio and GitHub. But for me, for now, they aren't worth the botheration.

Botheration, mud wrestling with software, has, after poor documentation, been my biggest obstacle.

ALL the work unique to my project has been fast, fun, and easy, the idea, applied math, code, etc. Thus I have a real sore spot about new, external tools -- my experience with such external things has been botheration I call mud wrestling. The time wasted has not been hours, days, or weeks but far beyond that.

IMHO the biggest bottleneck now in the future of computing is poor documentation. Second is mud wrestling with new products including tools.

The code is 100 K lines of typing but about 25,000 programming language statements, that is, 25 KLOC. That is, there are a LOT of comments and links to documentation in the code.

With non-human animals, though, aren't there much fewer possibilities than with humans? Most animals don't have the kind of food surpluses humans have, and so have can't afford to spend energy on things that aren't hunting or gathering food, fighting over territory, or reproducing.

So if an animal is doing something prominently that isn't hunting or fighting or mating or raising young and others are watching but not getting upset by it, mating display is probably a reasonably safe assumption.
Voluntary universal subscriptions for podcasts
I'm experimenting with a new monetization model for podcasts. The project that implements the model is called Podcrypt: https://t.me/podcrypt

Essentially it's a podcast listening app that allows you to setup what I call voluntary universal subscriptions. You set an amount that you would like disbursed on an interval to all podcasts that you listen to. For example, $10 every month. The amount is split up based on how much time you have listened to each podcast. You'll be able to set how much you value each unit of time per podcast.

I believe this model is superior to models like Patreon's, mostly because those models don't scale beyond a few content creators that you like. Who wants to become a patron of every single content creator that you enjoy watching or listening to? After 2 or 3 $5 per month donations, I'd venture to guess that most people are done giving out money. With a universal subscription, your donations are automatic and fair.

Anyway, more info here: https://hackernoon.com/podcrypt-automatic-fair-peer-to-peer-podcast-donations-with-ether-f0a638111410

Because batteries asymptotically charge. The closer you are to 100% the slower they charge. The optimum way to drive is to stop frequently for short stops (5-10 minutes or so) and rapidly refill the battery while grabbing a snack or using your phone, and then continue.
