That doesn't even sound like much at all. Surely he would have more than that if he worked a job.
Full agreement, but I think unsafe-phobia is mostly about user-extensible nature of it. unsafe in standard library is okay, because as you said it's no more dangerous than doing it in runtime. unsafe in "your" library is not okay, because I don't trust you to modify runtime either.
Start at a community college with Calculus 1 & 2. Linear Algebra(depends on the school reqs). Engineering Statistics if they offer it. And Maybe a CSC class or 2. If you can't get through those classes it likely doesn't make sense to take out additional loans. I majored in something different because of the Math requirements. Information Technology may be a better choice if you struggle with Math.

I bought two...and then returned them both. Turns out you can only use them as a stereo pair from an iOS device, or within the iTunes application on Mac. Want to watch Netflix with your HomePods? Only possible from an iOS device. Ditto for YouTube, Amazon prime, and pretty much anything else.
Yeah, hyperloops. Going to be insanely cheap. Right. The one route that might have made sense, Dubai to Abu Dhabi, seems to not be happening. That was over empty flat desert, and had government support, so it might have been built.

Monorails are a working technology, but still niche. China has 140Km or so. Japan has about 80Km. They're useful when you have to cram a transit system into a built-up city. The switch problem has been solved. But there's still little standardization; each is a one-off.

BART started as a gadgetbahn. Active suspension. Solid state motor control. Computerized train control. Very fancy. All three of those systems had major problems in the early years. Forty years later, everybody has those features.

Japan is building a maglev from Tokyo to Nagoya and on to Osaka. It makes sense there. Those are Japan's three biggest urban areas, and they're in a line. There's a mountain range in the way, and so much tunneling is required (about 250Km) that the tunneling cost is more than the maglev cost. 45Km of the route is already running in test, so most of the debugging is already done. Started in 2007, planned opening 2027, coming along nicely.

The Morgantown (WV) personal rapid transit system, built in the 1960s, is still running. Last year it got a refresh - new electronics and propulsion. Works OK, but was never cost-effective.

Depending on the size of your JIT code, it's possible to be more cache efficient if the JIT is pinned to its own core and uses lockless ring buffers to enqueue one-cacheline-sized chunks back and forth. But this only works if you spend more time instruction fetching to the JIT and back than it takes to atomic queue/dequeue.

In terms of latency, having the JIT in a process or thread is semantics at that point so you might as well process isolate it.

It all depends on how often your JIT instruction fetches outside of L2 due to the size of itself and the code that it generates. You can approximately measure it using cachegrind and then multiply the Data + instruction L1/L2 miss values by whatever they cost on your architecture.

There used to be a product (I believe from johnson and johnson) called liquid bandage.

It was a two-part formula, combining a treated applicator like a cotton swab and a bottle of adhesive.

You had a cut, you put a drop of liquid from the bottle onto the end of one of the swabs and touched it to the cut on your finger or wherever. The two parts together formed the adhesive.

It instantly secured the skin together.

It was the BEST. It would fix a paper cut immediately and securely. You would not accidentally dribble adhesive and stick your fingers together.

They pulled it from the market, for some reason shrouded in mystery.

Now all you can find is nexcare nu-skin which is not very good at all. (Basically it sort of covers your skin, but doesn't secure anything)

very sad.

Something with threads and mutexes might be relevant, even if it was in the JVM.

> I don't believe any CPU cache has ECC, either. Which is where the memory you're actually working with lives.

I'm not aware of any desktop CPU that doesn't have ECC caches. CPU internal busses use ECC and external interconnects (e.g. PCIe, DMI, QPI/UPI) use it as well.

> ECC RAM does actually slow down the part of a system that is already the bottleneck in most common situations.

ECC invariably introduces some additional latency in the memory controller, but I don't see a persuasive argument why it would reduce throughput. It would surprise me if this additional latency is measurable, given that the ECC logic is already in the core and in the data path anyway, and the system configuration (AMD, Intel) / CPU fuses (Intel) only decide whether it is active.

That being said buffered ECC modules are usually not the fastest. I don't think that this is due to any technical limitation per se, but rather market demand (cost, perf per Watt).
My understanding is that jails were designed as a security boundary from the get go, unlike containers. Wouldn't that result in code that's less likely to be exploitable?

> Futher, Redux doesn't solve synchronization issues in situations where you can't represent the data the same way.

I would argue that synchronizing data between multiple representations is an anti-pattern, and the exact anti-pattern that redux, with its emphasis on a single source of truth, was designed to solve. Synchronizing state is almost always going to lead to hard to diagnose bugs in edge cases. There's even a blog post on why it's a bad idea on the official react blog [0]

My solution to this problem is to use computed values generated by a library with memoization like reselect. I structure my data as close as possible to the API data models and use selectors to transform the models into the data structures that disparate UI components require. If you need to change your UI component, you don't need to refactor your store, and if you need to change your store structure, you don't need to refactor your UI components.

> "Peace" in military mouths today is a synonym for "war expected." The word has become a pure provocative, and no government wishing peace sincerely should allow it ever to be printed in a newspaper. Every up-to-date dictionary should say that "peace" and "war" mean the same thing, now in posse, now in actu. It may even reasonably be said that the intensely sharp preparation for war by the nations is the real war, permanent, unceasing; and that the battles are only a sort of public verification of the mastery gained during the "peace"-interval.

"My target is to cover my family’s expenses before I run out of savings"

On the one hand I applaud people chasing their dreams, taking risks to start something new etc, but on the other hand, it seems like he's putting a lot of risk on the family and even seems a bit selfish to me.

Wouldn't he be better off starting a fulfilling hobby, or trying to negotiate a 3 or 4-day work-week and starting a side business, etc?
The assumption that 'a byte is eight bits' is less specific than 'a character is one byte is eight bits' but I think captures it pretty well and affects at least all the people who are affected by RTL writing, I would think.

If anything, the one character -> eight bits problem was so large huge amounts of work has been put into developing and using libraries that abstract the representation of text away from byte streams.

Is this qualitatively different from providing wiretapping interfaces to law enforcement in countries which have laws we find morally objectionable?
It’s basically up to the person running passport control that day but first of all they also need their other travel documents like their passport if they are flying internationally.

They are often not allowed access to them (Not denied access in any legal sense, but their families will “look after” the documents making it hard to gain access to such documents). But if it’s the case of a foreign national returning home their home country can provide emergency travel documentation and help see the person thought passport control.

But if they are not a foreign national, they have little options. They will often (but not always) try and contact the legal guardian of the woman (if they are not already present, but as you said without the app. I presume they are also travelling without their “legal guardian”) and return the women to their family if they are instructed to do so by them.

Is there any kind of centralized place where "what does semver breaking change means for language X" can be aggregated? I think it can be useful, at least until this is something that language designers routinely include in specs.

But there's remains the question of what happens if a library is written in one language, but used from many others with different features that can make non-breaking changes breaking, and vice versa. One could say that the owner of the library is generally not responsible for breaking other languages, but in many cases the library is cross-language by design.

The idea that an "all-powerful small ethnic Jewish lobby" can trick the corporate elite of America for decades to do things against their interests is, putting aside its anti-semitic implications, utterly ridiculous. It is a way of deflecting blame away from the U.S. government itself.[1]

The strategic interests are obvious: Israel is one of the largest military powers in the middle east and a means to project U.S. power over it. This was observed by the Pentagon as early as the late 1940s.[2] This is why the U.S. has given so much financial, military and diplomatic aid to Israel, one of the effects of which has been to build up its tech industry.

> The cost of these security flaws is likely to become more expensive than the cost of replacing the existing software.

I think that you massively under-estimate the cost of rewriting all that code. Yes, the security flaws are expensive. Rewriting the code would be, I'd guess, at least one order of magnitude more expensive.
That would make sense. The app was working fairly well, and you could guess what the offense was going to do on each play. It's going to be interesting to see where the league goes.

I don’t call it semver, I publish it to npm with this version number.

The fact that npm install automatically adds a ^ next to the version number has caused so many issues in the past where some deep dependency would push a patch, not following semver, and break a huge part of the end users.

Thankfully, yarn lockfiles were introduced and solved the problem. Only people adding the dependency for the first time would see the new behavior, which is usually fine.

I think everyone wants to know the answer to this as it would literally be the grand unified field theory. But since we’re here, my two cents is on conservation of space-time with the corresponding symmetry rule being the relationship between zero and infinity. Manifested physically as a relationship between the gravitational constant and the Hubble constant. The cosmological constant being a happy accident as result of hybrid geometry combining a Riemann Manifold and Anti-de Sitter space the other forces emerging as result of space-time expansion/flow in this geometry through kinks in Space-time caused by energy concentrations in the form of particles calculated with the good ol’ Bernoulli equation. With the number of dimensions being exactly 4 (modifying the exponents of Einstein’s equations from ^3 to ^4). I can go on at the risk of sounding more like a crackpot but alas to quote Michel de Montaigne “Que sais-je?”
