I thought it was obvious, but apparently I wasn't clear enough: what I meant with the need for rewrite is the need for rewrite to benefit from architectural changes.

If you wrote SSE2 code 20 years ago, then yes, it's still going to run. But it's not going to benefit from the advances made with AVX and AVX2.

Compare this to the GPU model, or ispc or vector instructions, where you automatically benefit from a wider machine without a rewrite of your code (and in the case of vector instructions even without a recompile).
Depends on the company. Companies like Tata and Infosys (which, until recent changes, had something like 80% of H1B quota), sure. Companies like Amazon and Microsoft do not do this as a matter of policy (which is why they sponsor most of their H1B employees for green card); but individual managers are still aware of the kind of leverage this gives them, and some of them try to use it.
> Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't YouTube require you to be at least 13?

You need to be over 13 (or above, depending on the country) to create an account. There's no limit on the content itself.

In my opinion, there is no justifiable use case in which videos of children under 13 should be made publicly-available, but YouTube itself disagrees. Case in point: Ryan ToysReview has 18 million subscribers. YouTube thinks it's okay because the videos are uploaded and edited by his parents, while I think it's absurd that anyone makes an income based on sharing videos of their children publicly.
And if people start using blood for quackery, it could reduce the available supply the moment something goes south.
I think newsletters are great. They are a media platform thats is distributed and open to everyone. Its personal and direct, and the users itself has a lot of control in how they digest the information. However Im sad to see how much of this media will end up in closed of spaces. (Same as the rise of slack/discord communities) its sad to see things are not open and public. Which makes access much more only to the few in the know.

I’d say ‘no’ because starting programming at 25 shows you do not have a deep passion for solving a the kind of problems that can be solved with code. The top 1% of programmers eat, sleep, and dream in code starting at a young age (usually by their early teens at the latest).
> YouTube thinks it's okay because the videos are uploaded and edited by his parents, while I think it's absurd that anyone makes an income based on sharing videos of their children publicly.

Movies and TV shows starting children are not unheard of as commercial endeavors. I'm not sure why with YouTube as a viable monetizable video platform, parent-driven productions on that platform are fundamentally any worse of an idea.

“Tangible” means touchable and has a Latin root; “tangere” still means “to touch” (though somewhat archaic) in my native Italian. That
same Latin root is why we call linear equations that share the gradient of a given curve evaluated at the point where they cross to be “tangential”.

Look, we could go on with this all day. What’s your point? To show your terminology and grasp of topics is greater than mine? Is this some kind of passing match? Because I’m really not interested in these schoolyard antics.

I'm not trying to imply that attention spans aren't shrinking. I don't know if they are.

That said, more often then not, I don't finish an article because its crap content-wise, or because someone decided they don't know how paragraphs work and made it one huge block, or someone needed to meet a word count requirement, or thought they could amp up the prestigious by going long-form without the meat to back it up.

I love that everyone is a content creator, but I don't have to give a bunch of mediocre blog posts on lifehacker the same attention I give to a James Joyce novel. I consider that an advantage not a problem.
Ok but if someone is just perfectly willing to talk about how Breivik is a hero and they wish more people would have the guts to do what he did it is of course not the same as actually doing what Breivik did but it seems sort of not worth talking to either, like if Breivik were the enemy of life they would be providing aid and comfort to the enemy without ever actually going out and shooting a bunch of people.

The last few days i've been struggling with how go decides heap vs stack. Coming from a c/c++/java background where it's super clear, malloc or new goes on the heap everything else goes on the stack, i've found go a little frustrating. i still don't have a good sense of when the escape analysis will fail and things get pushed to the heap.

This article isn't about any of that. This is much lower level, and will give you insight about other languages approaches to growing addressable space. i can't say i'm thrilled with the interleaved linked lists, but it's pretty neat and works.

i don't write assembly, and i don't think real hard about how virtual address space is managed. but maybe someday it'll be important and having read this article some bells will ring. the article is cool and worth a few minutes of your time.

edit
interleaved linked lists isn't the right term. i don't think it's _wrong_ but there's much more complexity with fitting the arenas. don't listen to me, i'm a fool.

What happens if a fine is greater than the value of a multi-national company's operations in a country? As $4.2 billion is ~10% of UBS's market cap, does UBS derive more than 10% of its value from within France? If not, might they just abandon operations in the country for the government to seize and avoid paying the fine, or would EU or international-level agreements or courts enforce payment? Anyone know of any precedent regarding such a scenario?

A federal judge in Georgia recently responded to an inmate's plea for help. Timothy Gumm had been arbitrarily thrown in solitary confinement for being accused of attempting to escape:

"Gumm’s handwritten lawsuit made it to U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles H. Weigle, who acknowledged having “serious reservations as to the ultimate validity” of Gumm’s claims. Laws aimed at curtailing frivolous lawsuits make it hard for inmates to protest prison conditions, and judges set a high bar for hearing such complaints. But Weigle noticed that several other of the 180 or so inmates in the Special Management Unit at Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison were making similar claims. He eventually let Gumm’s complaint go forward, and assigned lawyers from the Southern Center for Human Rights to represent him free of charge." [0] (emphasis added)

This would imply an ARM port, I guess, as x86 android isn't much of a thing anymore AFAIK.

I don't think either of us know much about android - not enough to do that. But an ARM port is very interesting.

Since I'm no longer an Intel employee I don't see why I shouldn't skill up and do a Neon port (I got interested in SVE, but since ARM doesn't seem to want to bother releasing cores that run SVE, I'm not going to go too far down that path right now). Neon, on the other hand, is in tons of places. As far as I know all the required permutes, carryless multiplies and various other SIMD bits and pieces are there on Neon. So it's a simple matter of porting.

Alien and Sedition Acts were widely panned when they were passed, specifically because many people saw them as unconstitutional. What they proved is that people aren't particularly respectful of the same constitution they wrote, but little else.

I'm well aware that the Federalist Papers aren't law. The reason why I mentioned them is that they come from the party that was anti-Articles, pro-Constitution and pro-strong federal government. So reading them gives you an idea of what they meant by "strong federal government", and what they considered to be out of bounds.

I've decided that American jails are job projects [2]. They make work for guards, sheriffs and lawyers, at the expense of trapping people in a system from which they can't escape.

The passenger I bailed out of jail [0] was almost killed by jail policies. He was forced to submit to a daily injection of time-release insulin, on the basis of his high A1C levels at intake. This has the effect of suppressing his blood sugar throughout the day... Time-release insulin is probably okay on a normal diet with adequate amounts of sugar. The Maricopa County Jail feeds a starvation diet, where the only things worth eating are found in the vending machines.

I think we're slowly realizing the futility of fixing social problems by throwing people in cages. The recently-passed "First Step act" [1] is a baby-step in the right direction.

Maybe. In Australia, 'bleeding heart' used by people on the right to describe people on the left who act with conscience, ethics, compassion or recommend a course of such acts. It's a term of abuse, because they think such actions and desires must be pretense, as the right doesn't feel those things themselves. (The right has and doesn't want others to have, a position that hardens the heart.) I took the phrase in that sense.
In the case of the cube the internal temperature would rise slightly. Th kid is also emitting some heat too so that would also contribute to the rising temperature. Eventually the kid would die from lack of oxygen. If you provide oxygen to the child and remove carbon dioxide the system would no longer be sealed: adiabatic expansion of added oxygen would lower the temperature and removal of carbon dioxide would extract some heat from the cube.

Observed externally the mass of the cube (assuming you didn’t provide a life-support system as I suggested) would remain unchanged because all mass energy is still within the cube. It has simply rearranged itself in a manner unobservable to an external observer.

When they turn the light off you have a black body cavity with an intruder. Ultimately all the light would get reflected back and forth until it fell on various parts of his body whose colour allows them to absorb the incident light waves. The child would get slightly, probably imperceptibly warmer. His surface molecules would move faster and thus he’d have more heat energy.
Instead of jacking up the prices, you can also just not make it easy to reach.

That won't work for venice, but for beaches you could just make sure the only way to reach them is a 5km foot path, and don't allow guided tours.

I'm pretty sure that would make visitor numbers drop to sustainable levels automatically, and people who really want to can still go.

Here in the alps we also have lots of tourism, but as soon as you are an hour walk away from a parking lot, the masses are gone.

Tom Scott did a video on this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Jx_bJgIFhI
thank you for this high quality comment.

i agree with you in spirit.
Yeah, Swift-most-everything is pretty slow, but particularly parsing/generating. Pre-Swift Foundation serialisation code was already...majestic, and in the Swift conversion they've typically managed to slow things down even further. Which didn't seem possible, but they managed.

I have given a bunch of talks[1] on this topic, there's also a chapter in my iOS/macOS performance book[2], which I really recommend if you want to understand this particular topic. I did really fast XML[3][4], CSV[5] and binary plist parsers[6] for Cocoa and also a fast JSON serialiser[7]. All of these are usually around an order of magnitude faster than their Apple equivalents.

Sadly, I haven't gotten around to doing a JSON parser. One reason for this is that parsing the JSON at character level is actually the smaller problem, performance-wise, same as for XML. Performance tends to be largely determined by what you create as a result. If you crate generic Foundation/Swift dictionaries/arrays/etc. you have already lost. The overhead of these generic data structure completely overwhelms the cost of scanning a few bytes.

So you need something more akin to a steaming interface, and if you create objects you must create them directly, without generic temporary objects. This is where XML is easier, because it has an opening tag that you can use to determine what object to create. With JSON, you get "{" so basically you have to know what structure level corresponds to what objects.

Maybe I should write that parser...

Another perspective is that we're like an ML model that takes tons of raw data and extract features from it, and infer stuff like "x is alive" and "y is dying". We insist that the features we extracted are the real thing, instead of a summarization that enables us to understand the world.

What.

typedef struct _some_struct_t
{
unsigned long some_long;
unsigned long some_other_long;
} some_struct_t;

...

{
some_struct_t foo = { 0 };

foo.some_long = 1;
foo.some_other_long = 2;
}

Is somehow comparable to using JSON?

This. They are talking about "dystopia" and "utopia" which more or less mean "good"/"bad" society, it would be astonishing if any amoral (eg substantive) arguments could come out. Their conclusion (ie please don't be idealistic, it'll always lead to something bad) can be summarized as defending order, eg an institution that is legitimate per se. This kind of moral authoritarian argument is akin to the "do exclude violence", "don't promote radical ideas" (in the sense of largely differing from the status quo) and we long know that this rhetoric is used to elude the question of the frame of political confrontations, which is mostly what political negotiation should be about. Once the frame is set, the orientation is already fixed. I'm not about defending what we commonly refer to as revolutions (or more precisely insurrections), i'm just saying i don't believe institutions have any legitimacy per se and as such it is authoritarian conservatism to exclude critical thinking using moral arguments. The first and foremost rule of a democratic organization should be the "political (moral) license": being able to break the laws maintaining current order if you are about questioning it.
But that is also true of countries. For large transnationals (who are the most abusive) especially, I don't think it makes a big difference.

OTOH, if that is the key problem, then why not make feds an arbiter specifically for such externalities? i.e. they'd be the ones establishing whether something negative is actually happening, measuring the impact, and imposing some remedy (either cease and desist or compensation, depending on which one is appropriate).

If we're talking about AGW, say, and carbon tax, then let's have the feds tax the states proportionally to their total carbon output. The states can then pass those carbon taxes onto their residents in various ways - and how exactly they are allocated is then a matter of state policy - but it has to add up.
