Certainly escaping the hell that x86 puts you in early in the boot process requires a bit of assembler, yes.

I think we're mostly talking past one another semantically if you believe that "most of what a bootloader does is calling arch-specific opcodes."

Most projects I'm familiar with called "bootloader" (including coreboot, GRUB/LILO, etc.) are by and large, both by lines of code and complexity, focused on loading binary files from disk using a filesystem driver, parsing them (!!!), and then passing off execution - all tasks which are better handled by a language or framework where it's not so easy to make a parsing mistake which compromises an entire system. This is true especially once trust chain verification and cryptography are also thrown into the mix.

Now that you've gotten me thinking about it as well, static verification of the real mode portion of a bootloader should be entirely possible. Although I'm not sure of a good toolset for doing so off the top of my head, there's nothing theoretically stopping someone from implementing a safe(ish) system which is capable of assembling software which could operate in real mode.

Anyway, since it seems unclear: my main thesis is "introducing Linux to the trust verification part of your boot process seems rather ridiculous because it is a gigantic surface area implemented in a way that makes it exceptionally challenging to audit."
and it wasn't too long before that when we hunted the megafauna out of existence... probably took us a while, too. Orders of magnitude more time than the duration of agriculture.
Downvoted not because I’m afraid of my own mortality, but because pointing out the obvious fact that nobody can see after they die is neither insightful nor useful. Go tell that to someone who has become blind and let me know how much consolation that provides them.

While true it’s still trivial to do such calculations and then output in GMT or whatever. In theory such calculations can get really messy, but atomic clocks are still not accurate enough to make a huge range of minor issues important.

For example we are not just in the sun’s and earth’s gravity field but also the other planets as well. So, with enough precision you would need to account for their locations.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

> 80% of your body’s signals are sent to the brain from the body and only 20% the other way around.

So whenever we are afraid or anxious and we feel that thing in our bellies, is it the brain sending messages to the belly or the belly reacting and sending messages to the brain?

I don't think your rephrasing is very apt. "Some matter can run Windows" is only true because some humans configured matter into an arbitrary arrangement that we all agreed to label as "running Windows". There is no reason to speculate that all matter "runs Windows" since the definition of "running Windows" implies a specific configuration of matter.
I guess also because hard surfaces are easier to clean.
Thanks for the support!

Yes, I try to strike a balance with that. To me, knowing about it brings me a lot of safety, so I know what I'm getting into when I'm doing a session, crying, contorting, reliving old memories, etc. Ultimately, I agree with you, we can talk about how to ride a bike with as much detail and scientific evidence as we want, eventually we need to ride one to see what its like.

The most effective methods I've experienced were Somatic Experiencing, a body-based psychotherapy practice I've also trained in as a therapist. There's also an empathy resonance approach by a woman called Sarah Peyton that I find very effective (her book "Your resonant self" is great). Of course I believe in my own methodology of emotional resilience which is sort of a mix of the two above, I'd be glad to offer a free session to you anytime to experience it.

Ultimately there're lots of methods, like meditation, yoga, therapy modalities that try to accomplish what we're intellectually talking about when we say emotional resilience or inner healing. In my experience this is only effective whenever the practitioner has studied and experienced this on their own body and nervous system to offer it to you effectively. And that's hard to know when it's the very thing you're looking for and you only know it intellectually. A bit of a catch 22. And it's not really a requirement when you go to therapy school for example. So it can be a mixed bag. Trial and error, which can be painful when you open yourself up to these aspects inside yourself is your friend too I believe (I tried talk therapy, various meditation practices and a few others and settled on what was both most effective in my personal experience and had the most scientific backing, like the methods I described above).

Finally, I think we're all equipped as humans to offer co-regulation and empathic presence to each other to heal from whatever difficult or stressful experience we've had. Most of us just have unlearned it very young or there's not enough emphasis in our environment to practice that with each other.

Hope some of that is helpful, let me know if you have any more questions!

I'm not a fan of the X280 due to some compromises in the form factor; the keyboard feels a little cramped, the screen is pretty low-res. I swapped mine for a T480 and it's been great.

I worked in retail for years before moving out of the states. Pharmacies, specifically. The last couple of years I worked overnights at a 24 hour location. (Hey, only robbed once while I was working - a bonus!).

Anyhow, I used to go into the office and turn off the music at night. The silence you speak of was my entire excuse for turning it off: Corporate expected us to do things in the store at night, yet wait on customers like normal. The added benefit was that the store was sooo peaceful without the bad covers plus adverts they played on a loop.

Funny you should mention because Europe does big projects that span decades.

They have the greatest rail infrastructure in the world.

Even projects that require considerable more nuance and social integration, such as the revitalizing of Dutch public spaces to accommodate bicycles. [1]

I think the bit you are missing is that European nations have more centralized authority, they're somewhat naturally more communitarian, and not quite as big on individual rights, and they're also not quite so big. For better or worse, it enables them to make longer term plans on some things.

Here is a list of major European undertakings, granted the Norwegian one's are a little unfair given their vast oil wealth. [2]

I would have to half disagree with your statement on the business side. If we looked at the products and services that Microsoft under Bill Gates have created/promoted throughout its history, we can clearly see a market leader that has helped society advance to what it is today. Even the fights that they lost (e.g. cellphone), have helped shape the economy we live in today and improved the competition. Were there errors and misjudgments in the process? Absolutely, I am not sure we can point to a single individual with power that hasn't had its ups and downs. Bill Gates is an interesting character that should be analyzed in all ways and I encourage everyone to see the good and the bad. Not just pick one aspect and characterize the whole individual.
I thought the difference was that Europe is dairy upland county, the land dictates the diet. Much of Yorkshire is unsuitable for arable farmland for example - but great for sheep, goats, and cows. Thus a cheese and meat diet. Same for alpine regions, parts of Germany etc.

Man the indentation in this article is confusing me.
It can receive all messages you want, but if the only message that it that would cause a state transition, and send out a message, is M, then it is still stuck.

I mean, I'm no expert, but I guess you could statically analize the state machine and figure out, given a set of communicating actors, which sequence of messages would lead to a global state from which there is no progress. I assume that, because message ordering is not deterministic the analysis is probably non easy to do.
>> If the EU comany is a subsiduary of the US company, then it will have to follow its orders and won't really be separate.

Accenture and other US consultancies with global operations faced this problem when bidding for government contracts. They created a global parent corporation (in Accenture's case it was Luxembourg and in many cases it is Bermuda.) The US portion of the business is owned by the global parent. The EU portion of the business is owned by the global parent as well. Same for other subsidiaries.
People say this, but it honestly doesn't bother me in a laptop. Longer and thinner is easier to carry in a backpack and if I'm actually working it'll be docked and with external monitors, one of which is rotated to 9:16.

That is not the solution. Usernames are not passwords. If they were, why have them at all? Generate a random unique password for your user and don’t have a username at all. As the parent mentioned using haveibeenpwnd or similar service is a much more user friendly and secure approach.
I'm suspicious of the genetic taste for cilantro. In Asia only Koreans and Japanese tend to dislike it while Chinese, Thais, and Vietnamese eat tons of it. Koreans and Japanese have other strong tasting herbs like minari and shiso that they happily eat. I'm not convinced it isn't just culture and familiarity.
JFYI: iOS does not use openssl (however an app might choose to use it). I believe it uses a FIPS compliant custom TLS implementation in Security.framework. I believe ssl pinning is circumvented on iOS by leveraging the objective-c runtime to hook the callbacks that an app would use to inspect the remote peer certificate.

Totally agreed. I'm not sure how to do the alignment scoring step in this case, perhaps some kind of DTW / FFT hybrid... definitely worth further consideration.

Interesting, but surely snapshots are only needed for connections with active transactions?

My understanding was that the difficulty here was Postgres's currently very simple forked-process-per-connection model. In order for idle connections to take minimal resource, connections can no longer be mapped 1:1 with processes. Instead, active connections will have to be balanced across a process or thread pool, whilst idle connections' states will have to be stored in a master process.

Not only that, but it must be possible to transmit a full connection state between processes, and also to queue-up idle connections transitioning to the active state if there is a sudden burst exceeding the size of the process pool.
Interesting has anyone run any tests comparing this interface's performance to epoll?
Thanks! That's exactly the one I was thinking of.
Or, if you're mostly-read and can separate read vs. write scenarios, then one master for writes and read replicas works pretty well too.

In any case, DBMS can usually scale vertically relatively well (lots of CPU, Ram, NVME etc).

We have a pretty good idea of what causes cancer, and unfortunately, time and random chance are the biggest factors. You can lower the odds by following some recommendations but unless something else kills you first (probably your heart), you will get it eventually.

Also, once it's there, we know it's there, and we know exactly how to cure it: destroy all the cancer cells. The hard part is doing it without killing you in the process, and making sure that not a single cell is left in the end.
I have a scar on my retina near the fovea, and I can only see it if I deliberately focus on it.
Cells can become quite large, the nerve cells in your back run the length of your spine for example, so it's certainly possible for a single cell to trawl through the ocean like a filter feeder and pick on smaller targets. Maybe tendril feeder would be a better description for a single cell though.

There's also caulerpa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caulerpa) can be large but only have a single cell, googling turns up several other surprisingly large single cells.
I don’t get the motivation behind keeping tax returns secret. It’s like your phone number: I wouldn’t post it to Reddit, but if someone can find it somewhere it’s no big deal to me. I don’t understand the threat model, besides the edge cases others mentioned like lottery winners.
I'd also like to mention cooperative concurrency. I know the author kind of skipped over this from the first sentence of the article where he defined a concurrent program as having more than one thread of execution. But with coroutines, we can have a single threaded-application that handles multiple tasks concurrently too. In fact I believe this is much easier to reason about for the programmer: the kernel won't randomly decide this thread's time slice is up in the middle of an important data operation; the programmer knows exactly when an operation may cause the current task to be "descheduled" because those are usually explicitly tagged with the "await" keyword. In my experience, this model eliminates the vast majority (but not all) of the use cases for locks and other synchronization primitives. It is also very performant.

Take a look at Python's asyncio, which has been in the standard library for years, and you'll see how easy it is to write concurrent networking code without threads and with very very few uses of locks.

You can solve world hunger while ignoring hunger strikes. You’re pricing an arbitrary metric of what people eat vs their ability to eat food. As many religious traditions involve fasting, your metric would also require them to be erased.

I want to lessen and limit suffering. If that is what you want as well I doubt your idea here is going to work as it seems like you have a very naive concept of drugs. People who are high, especially when they use drugs frequently, are not constantly enjoying that high or somehow consciously removed from their miserable situation.

Apart from that, I think a key fact about industry farming isn't that we are not able to figure out ways to lessen the suffering of animals. Even relatively cheap options like giving them more room to live is something that is dismissed by the industry after all. I think, the general problem here is a cultural ignorance towards the plight for a multitude of reasons. I think, it's worth more changing this with grand incentives and causing a shift to happen than to find creative solutions that reward greed over suffering.

The question - and this is where we seem to differ - is if we want to live in a world where we accept concepts like gestation crates and want to work around that or where we think that this is beneath us and our values.

Since you seem to have a very simplistic darwinistic approach to life as a "high-class" animal, I'm not really sure we could ever meet anywhere in the middle here.
Agents are run in a separate pool, and no one agent is processing at a time, so I suppose they're not "parallel", but concurrent still. I think the agents are preemptive, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
A system based on SpaceTime with reference to the centre of the universe
I worked at the same chain for years. Bad covers of horrible songs for most of the years then off-brand christmas mixed with adverts for Christmas.

The last 2 years before leaving the country, I worked nights. I had office keys and would turn off the music. You don't know proper peace at work until you've done a nice, quiet midnight shift. :)
I experienced this on another level while working retail at a musical instrument store for a few years. People would pick up any instrument and play whatever they wanted for however long they wanted-- at whatever volume they wanted. Although some people are quite talented, most are not. One lady would sit at the piano for hours, playing the musical equivalent of nonsense.

Around that same time, I had my own home recording studio and sometimes wound up recording musicians that were on the scale of bad to downright terrible. If I reacted negatively to the sound they made, that would only make them want to re-record it, which meant I'd have to hear it again. I quickly learned how to keep a straight face and mentally treat the music like background noise or focus intently on the parts of it that weren't too bad.
CIA: Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability
Most of the time its a mix, it creates a positive feedback loop, which isn't really so positive, but it can be! Say your gut is tight, it sends a signal to your brain saying "I'm tight", now the brain receives this and reinforces it (the other 20%) by saying, "the gut is tight, we need to keep it tight!", which makes it tighter and the cycle continues. Does that make sense?

If we're in a grounded, reflected and self-connected place (i.e. if we have empathy or warm accompaniment from ourselves or someone else), we can interrupt this cycle. The signal "the gut is tight" from the gut can be discerned "ah, interesting, I wonder if it needs to be tight or if I should change the topic or watch a different movie or leave this room", etc.,
I've been sold on JSX for a while, personally, and pretty much have that architecture in my apps I'm working on.

I just also remember being an idealistic Django-loving youth that wanted the dumbest possible template engine to avoid teenage PHP drama, so I definitely sympathize with folks whose gut reaction is upset with JSX for crossing the streams (again), and thought to make sure it was clear that it isn't a straw man argument to many. (Even if it is also, as in my case, an argument that can be won in favor of JSX. Though also in my case one of the big factors winning that argument was TSX [Typescript type checking of JSX views] versus many of the alternatives and their [lack of] static checking/analysis.)
Wow, your ignorant rant really turned racist at the end there.
