On the other hand, if you do random accesses to an index but need x, y, and z, then a struct of arrays as you propose will incur three cache misses instead of one for an array of structs. It really depends on the application which is preferable.

There's a huge difference between what Nielsen does and what Facebook did.

1) Nielsen doesn't explicitly target children.

2) The data that Nielsen collects is far less intrusive than what FB collects.

3) The consumer is much more likely to be informed about the data Nielsen collects, where as with FB, it's unlikely that a user (especially a minor) understands the extent of what FB was collecting.

And yes, Facebook was requiring "parental consent" to collect this data, but as we all know that is very hard to verify and children have been ticking the "I'm 13 or older" box for years without their parents knowing.

What Facebook did clearly crossed a line. End of story.

Is there something special about the software in new Boeings? Dual engine failure is nothing to sneeze at, and should never happen. Airbus also had its fair share of software errors in history, but if we count the recent Lion air crash as software related, Boeing has had 2 serious software related incidents in a year and I haven't heard anything serious from airbus.

Is it because Airbus started its fly-by-wire development earlier?

It is avoidable, the ESP32 supports transparently encrypted flash memory using a key that is stored in one-time-programmable, tamper-resistant fuse bits. The intended use is to make exactly this sort of attack considerably more difficult. Unlike the ESP8266, the '32 has quite a few security features, none of which are enabled here apparently.

I think it will. It took a couple decades of dramatic change to get us here (in the 70s and 80s), and the pendulum is now swinging back (and probably has been for the last decade).

Sometimes, side projects find me. When they don't, I don't particularly go looking for them.

That is, you're just going about your business, and an idea comes (or you keep running into a need, and figure out a way to address it), and you pretty much can't not chase it. Now you have a side project, one you actually care about doing.

Don't do a side project just to do a side project. Do it because you really want to - almost because you have to.

I'm using chrome, I think the javascript engine is slowing down because it doesn't detect enough user interaction/"load"? Obviously, I'm not a fulltime web/browser developer. Hit F12, open the console, and paste in that javascript, and it will continuously run at the elevated speed, as long as it's the active tab in the current window. Break the tab out into its own window, and it will run in the background at full speed. The snippet is making a trivial call on one of the elements 50x per second, like a very gentle busy loop.

On a really basic MNIST model, 784->32dense->10dense, batch size 100, I'm getting about 2 batches per second idle, and 20 batches per second after running the above snippet.

To anyone who actually knows anything about web dev, please correct me with a proper explanation.
In gamedev there's a much higher awareness of performance, because in most cases, low performance creates a literal cut-off point - anyone with specs lower than what your game maxes out can't play, thus won't pay. Web developers get away with more bullshit, because monetization is more indirect, and quite often the site is not just entertainment, so users have stronger reasons to bear with it, frustration and battery life be damned.

> That in turn was followed by a small exodus of many of the better engineers

Engineering (especially software engineering) seems like a particularly bad field in which to have "forced attrition" or stack ranking since so much of a team's success depends on the engineers' ability to work together directly on an interpersonal level, and for their code to be easily maintained/extended/tested by others.

I suppose there are partial ways around this, such as factoring rankings from one's peers into the forced attrition.

But overall it's very difficult to imagine any engineering environment that would benefit from incentivizing engineers to compete with one another rather than cooperate.

(Lot of engineers are already good at playing the game in which they look like team players, but are really autocrats of their own little silos and knowingly make themselves hard to replace & keep others down)
The problem on the Android side goes deeper, as the "Onavo Protect" app is still alive and kicking in the Google Play store [1]. The Facebook Research app here is a shallow repackaging of the iOS version of Onavo Protect, which was banned from Apple's App Store at least.

It doesn't appear Google is interested in doing anything here. They would likely have to do something about the thousands of other trojan horse VPN apps, too. It's just that those are not as transparently owned by a privacy-invading internet giant (and those apps probably sell your private information directly to the highest bidder even more eagerly).

Depends if "too quickly" means "clearly dangerous, so the system prevents a risk, and it's clearly the safer thing to do" or "fast enough to trigger the bug"? And even if it is the former, presumably it should be signaled and restart possible afterwards.
Deeply nested discussions get harder, much like on StackOverflow. I think it's a deliberate design decision and I'm not convinced it's a bad one; you do miss out on some deeper discussion, but it encourages people to work-up their responses into full-sized posts (and making a new post is very easy).

Lawyers are notoriously superstitious. Worse even than medics, since we managed somewhat to get modern medics to embrace the idea that it's possible to find out whether the blue pill or green pill is best by _doing science_ rather than relying on your gut instinct.

Superstition leads to lawyers doing again a thing that worked previously without knowing why it worked or having any understanding that it's actually necessary for any reason. Most of the weird forms of words in legal contracts are a result of this, the court probably doesn't care whether you demand someone "Cease and desist" or just "Stop fucking doing that" but who wants to risk that they do care? Let's just write "Cease and desist" the same as we did on the previous document...

So, she uses Fax because her predecessors used Fax, not because there's an actual "something legal-binding about faxes". Just superstition.

There are superstitious people in every profession, that's what "sync; sync; sync" is all about - it's just that lawyering seems especially prone.

This is one of the things that individual experience can vary a lot. My Facebook is maybe 30% racist rants, bashing liberals, and a call to arms against the government for taking away guns. Another 30% is people ranting about Trump and talk to about a communist revolution. 30% is memes. 10% is travel photos and news about lives.
Both! It's condescending because it's simultaneously suggesting that:

- there's a class of users who are simply dumb

- the speaker does not consider themselves to be in this class

- one can avoid this hazard by being sufficiently smart

none of which I agree with, and none of which I see evidence for here.

Across every industry I've seen, when new safety devices are invented, old-timers brush it off as unnecessary. (Survival bias: I didn't die!) When they retire, the next generation grows up using the new safety devices, and sees no problem with it. If anything, using the safety device is a signal that you're doing something dangerous! Professional drivers wear more seatbelts, not none. The tradeoff you speak of is usually backwards from what you claim.

This one is shaping up exactly the same. People who grew up with URLs are complaining that Google is trying to "hide" them, even though that's not what anyone on this project said. The generation being born today will wonder why anyone ever used a networked computer by clicking on links with zero assistance in determining whether it was at all legitimate.
Presumably the aim of forced attrition is to take managers who are firing grade D performers and retaining grade C performers, and turn them into managers who fire grade C performers.

Of course, it's pretty questionable whether it achieves that aim - one would think it encourages managers to keep incompetent employees around as buffer.
Same here. Been lurking around for a while and finally got around to it.

> what harm came from this app?

Would you say that the current political climate has been harmful? I would. I would not only say that, but I would also say that it's come about specifically because of data collection practices which have enabled data analysis of entire populations in a way which has never been seen before.

While analysis of populations is not inherently bad by itself, the outcome certainly has been, particularly because the abilities and effects are so new that there's little or no law governing people towards positive effects for society as a whole. Without those laws, the effects become geared toward benefiting people at the top either directly (company CEOs) or indirectly (capabilities sold to those who can afford them).
Sure, I'm using GCP to host the website. Then, I'm using Docker, K8s, and then a LB sitting in front. The graph is from GCP's CDN that tracks requests per second and CDN hits/misses [1].

From what I understand, libressl was a fork of openssl resulting from a bunch of people who were pissed about heartbleed. Not being so dependent on one library is good, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the alternatives are better. Openssl is still more established, and from what I understand (anecdotally), openssl is faster (an important consideration for a distro like alpine). With that said, libressl is likely more secure (which means it may be an option to go along with alpine's hardened kernel).

Boeing’s answer seems to say if you accidentally pull the thrust reverser lever before the aircraft is on the ground it just force shuts down the engines.

That sounds like an odd safety override. Surely a better solution would be to just not activate reverse thrust. Unlike car engines a jet engine can’t just be quickly restarted if it accidentally shuts down. It typically takes 30-60 seconds to get going.

This and earlier incidents are highlighting the dangers automation can add to mission critical systems. No pilot wants to hear notices about “hey, so in case you didn’t know our programmers added some code that does this strange uncommanded thing when you push buttons a certain way”
When bootstrapping a new arch, you usually cross-compile to get it working. This means that you don't need to build all of those builds. If you want to start a new bootstrap chain, which is what most distros have done, you do this once and then go from there as new releases come out.

I wouldn't have thought it would gain that sort of traction..
Sure, it can be the case that both the data and the vector struct are in cache (in different lines). Analyses like "stack is in cache, but heap is in main memory" are too simple to capture the subtleties of real programs. In general, for a benchmark, you can expect everything to be in cache, unless the data is large enough that it doesn't fit, which usually means that it won't fit regardless of small-vector optimization or not.

That said, purely from a memory access and cache use point of view, it is more or less strictly better to pack all the vector data (data and metadata) together as the small vector does: you'll always only bring in the one cache line containing everything. In the split stack + heap case [1], sure both lines might be cache, so the access time might be the same, but you still need to have both of those lines in the cache, so the footprint is bigger. So at beast it can be "tied", but at some point you'll suffer misses with this strategy that you wouldn't suffer if everything were co-located. It follows directly from the general rule that you want to pack data accessed together close together.

---

[1] Of course it might be heap + heap since the std::vector itself might be allocated on the heap but it doesn't really change the analysis.

My comment was that I dont see race _when it comes to science_. Science is not influenced by race. Race is not relevant for scientific discussions.

Around 1997 or so, I got called into a meeting with my boss, director, and head of IT security. I worked night shift in a wafer fab, and someone was accessing the computers in the office, and visiting inappropriate sites at night (that their new sophisticated monitor found). I was young, and into computers, I guess they assumed it was me. I pointed out that I didn't have a keycard that gave me access to the office area, so it couldn't be me, asked if they checked it. While they were quickly apologizing, I asked what site they accessed.

Comfort is not bad for a company period. Its what keeps the lights on, but it depends on how you define it. Most projects have horrible deadlines and they happen often so there isn't a lot of time to play R&D on a lot of things. I haven't worked for many companies that are fine with breaking what works. In fact, it often results in discipline because you were trying something that wasn't normal operating procedure mostly because the risk couldn't adequately be measured or realized (i.e. trying a new framework for example).

I for one, would not look too fondly on Amazon precisely because of the way they treat their workforce and because their product is not very good because of it.

I may be confused with regard to the purpose of your response, then. Those of us who can't write more than a handful of posts in a day have to put a lot of words in them, and maybe some thought, because if there is an exchange with multiple posts in it, the system cuts us off for a few hours. I know you don't have that problem.

I remind you that we can't all write 15-word posts that state that there may be a problem with the conversation, but without offering any specifics, or any hints on how to fix it.

Should my response have been in reply to the linked post instead of to yours? Should I have written fewer words or more words? Why is the word count relevant? Was your response in support of the linked poster, against, or neutral? Do you believe that your post added enough to the conversation that my reply should have addressed it specifically, rather than the content of the post it referenced? I understand that there is a complaint, but I don't know why.

I could have been more brief, but I didn't have enough of my own time to waste less of yours. Sorry for that.
