It look like a bug to me, since inode->i_nlink may be zero, and then ret is uninitialized (optimizing the final "return ret" to "return 0" should be safe (but is not necessarily worth it, depending on the target instruction set and ABI), although if warnings are enabled, it seem like the warning should still be displayed).
Designing Products with AI
You're not alone. I'm self-taught in english and it's not my first language. Although native english speakers have commended me I still find reading technical texts taxing.

They fall in the category of any academic text. Be it from a uni, research group, specfication manual. I did not receive formal education in English so I don't understand those formal words. Every other sentence there's something I have to look up and then I'm in a rabbit hole.

Actually same goes for my native tongue in some respect since I dropped out of school before reaching university.

I've still managed to make a career in IT and often desire to read technical specifications but feel helpless when I try.

My strategy so far has been to wait for an implementation in a language I can understand like Python, hopefully.
> It might have to evolve and get smarter and better, […]

We would indeed, literally, have to evolve in order to supply repudiable biometrics. Regrowable fingers perhaps?
We should remove the California and New York subsidy:

We subsidize their social services at the expense of the nation by allowing them to deduct local taxes from national taxes -- lowering their effective national tax rate as a reward for giving their residents back tax money via services.

I'm for tax equity: stop subsidizing the wealthy states for hoarding their money.
This is excellent advice. I will add to it:

If in a small company you are spending a certain percentage of time/money/effort on support (probably 10-15%), there is no reason for that percentage to be different in a large company.

Go through that again with me, please. You've been spending 10-15% of your time listening to customers and providing good service. When you grow, why would you want to provide worse service?

And yet, this seems to be the established thinking (oh, we can't possibly provide direct E-mail support at this scale, let's hide our contact information and make customers jump through hoops just to contact us, and let's keep our support team small so that we can make more money).

Your customers will report lots of issues, and yes, some will be bogus. But most will point to real problems, either with your software, your hardware, your usability, your processes/procedures, or the limitations of any of the above. If people write to you, it means they took efforts to contact you: do not just discard their reports as "bogus".

Another way to look at this is that every bug report is worth its weight in gold, because for every customer who reports a bug, there are 10 others who do not, and just stop using your app/service/whatever.

Also, if you ever extend/automate/scale your support, make really really sure that there is ALWAYS a way for at least some user reports to make their way to developers, designers and architects. Otherwise many valid bug reports will get stonewalled and lost. See the recent Apple FaceTime ("facepalm") fiasco for a good example of this.
> 1. not exactly, you're now doubling your allocations as you're allocating a native object which has to create sub-structues representing the guest object

Those sub structures can live within the same allocation. And in many cases, the object passed to the interpreter can be the undecorated native object.

> 2. the GC of the host language doesn't necessarily match what you want for the guest

It's almost certainly better than recounting or naive mark and sweep, which is what you get when someone reimplements a GC for an interpreter.
So it doesn't quite take the same theme of parental-financial support as the parent article to this comment thread does, but:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/05/african...

I do sometimes point to this article as something of note, that resonates with me as a member of that particular social group. Of course with many things, YMMV as to how much of this also happens to relate to you and whatever social group you happen to be a member of--since there are valid parallels across the socio-economic fabric.

That link can also be found in this article, which resonated pretty well with me for similar reasons.

https://newrepublic.com/article/153122/missing-black-millenn...

Same caveat here: article doesn't necessarily go into the aspects of how Black millennial fare with parental-financial assistance, but I'm definitely keeping an eye out for such an article. Maybe I should write an anecdote laden response to the NYT piece here, and publish it on medium (mild sarcasm in use here).
Depreciation should 100% be part of your equation when buying a car. Yes, you take a hit for buying new. But there's a huge difference in losing 30% of your value after 5 years vs 70%. The average consumer car has a depreciation curve upwards of 20 years. People buy Toyotas because they hold their value, and lease BMWs because they know they don't.
It was even slightly worse than AST interpretation actually - as mentioned in the post, this is a much larger topic that deserves its own attention, but I did include the bytecode case in the linked slides. https://www.slideshare.net/RReverser/building-fast-interpret...
Capitalism, various forms of fascism, and chattel slavery systems each are or include some variety of this, but more directed at the cheap labor issue than the genocide issue.
I'd imagine that having those opportunities and privileges helps folks get in a position where they can write these articles and get wide readership. So there's likely a self-selection bias.
This all rings true, but it doesn't have to make you feel like America is broken. I'm of South Asian descent, where finances between generations are even more intertwined. In America we've created a narrative of one generation being completely free of the last, and when we don't fulfill it we feel shame. Like many destructive narratives our society has, it might be time to let this one go.
Any discussion on blockchain AI has to also include a serverless big data solution as a quantum cloud microservice. Otherwise you're just leaving money on the table.
That would require some better way of attaching identity for co-mingled inventory back to the actual entity that shipped it to Amazon. I don't know how much Amazon cares about it yet.
To summarize various replies in the thread:

This is a variation of an unfixed 2004 GCC bug. Clang detects the issue when the right warnings are enabled. Those warnings are disabled currently. A developer is auditing and fixing all such instances found by Clang so that they can reenable those warnings.

Sourcehut's design seems inspired by terminals and line-oriented interfaces more so than early 2000's boxy HTML, so some choices are head-scratchers.

The lack of visible bounding boxes or ("old-style") underlining around the core navigation links draws inspiration both tab-oriented keyboard navigation and very modern, ~201x UI design, but lifts only their outward look without incorporating strengths from each: it neither has strong indicators of a series of menu items that can be stepped through (like a right-facing triangle to the left of the menu item's text), nor does it evoke the Metro-style UI, where UX-meaningful text is king on a sparse field. Underlining each link in the top bar would immediately communicate that many of the words are clickable but not all; as would the use of background shading and color to set the static top bar apart from the rest of the page content. Or even just a 1px bottom border.

Similarly, visual suggestion of tabs for 'summary', 'tree', etc, is not very convincing in a browser. Desaturated borders around the inactive tabs would clearly communicate that there's a tabbed interface here. Bolding of the text of the active tab would reinforce that further.

EDIT: When I think about minimalism on the web, I'm inspired by the box model and by occasionally-visible borders, which help translate the tree structure of the page into a coherent interface. Borders have gone out of fashion in mainstream design, and so has the use of text decoration for links, so it's harder now to distinguish between interactive and static elements in an interface. Sourcehut's 'spartan' take on this misses an opportunity to clarify a distinction that's been lost in other schools of design.
Casual Open Source Contributions
Never change, Hacker News. Finally we have a somewhat credible alternative to the extremely broken current system of everybody and their grandmother having to perform their own password management. A system that solves large parts of the reuse, reversability and replayability of passwords with appropriate technical sophistication as well as buy-in from organizations that will be able to change the system in practice. A system that acknowledges that the vast majority of current and future internet users have appropriate hardware to perform far more secure authentication in their pockets.

And the comments are filled with grumpy contrarians, complaining how it doesn't work for them personally, doesn't work for the general public, or even doesn't work in general. As if what we currently have is even close to fine. Surely WebAuthn is by no means a perfect system, but I sure am happy it exists and hope it has a great future.
You're crazy. This fellow deserves all of today's internet points. He even has a man page!

That's great if the language you're using has the same GC semantics as the language you're implementing, and a pretty major problem if it doesn't.
>its clearly possible.

* As a percentage, what share of single-parent homes receive some kind of government assistance?

* You deliberately neglect that most single-parent homes receive ongoing child support from other parent.
>On average, each millennial parent receives $11,011 per year in combined financial support and unpaid labor, the 2017 TD Ameritrade Millennial Parents Survey found, for an annual total of $253 billion in America.

I wish they had separated the unpaid labor from financial support. Grandparents helping raise the kids is a tradition as old as time; the labor portion is not the surprising part here.
as someone who did support for years and now does engineering I think this is so correct. Support is listening to customers, not only that they are listening to a LOT.

I think it's valuable for engineers to talk to customers but they and product should also actually listen to support - they are probably telling you a large majority of the pain points your customers are experiencing.

also - and another major thing - make sure you have a way for support folks to become engineers, product managers, designers, etc... in my (clearly biased) opinion this often results in an engineering / product department with a deep understanding of your customers needs in its bones
California usually complains its taxed pop sends more money in than it receives in federal largesse. That we are subsidizing “red states”. Not sure who’s right since both make these claims against each other.

They do it in the UK too, not sure who it is defrauding? I guess it could be the franchise defrauding the main dealer, but they'd see that the franchise registered it?

The sale transaction to the eventual customer is still recorded on the later date, so tax, etc., shouldn't be affected?

Would be interested in the explanation.
It is sexist that in apple, microsoft and googles user tests, both women and men prefer the female voice over the male voice.

There is also a lot of sexis found by the Stanford University study which revealed that preferences for male or female voices depend on the subject matter. Both men and women prefer a woman voice when talking about people and how things relate to each other, but prefer a male voice for bare facts about objects. Additional there is also some racism in there as some nationalities go against this preference in user tests, leading to apple to have male as the default home assistants if you are British, French, Dutch or Arabic.

> mDP ports on the early rMBP have a design flaw that makes them unusable for 4k monitors

what is the context on this? I have a 2015 MBPr hooked up to two 4k monitors on my desk right now, and I am not having any issues...

I would also worry about the GFX ability to actually output 4k/60 for anything other than a terminal (The ARM Mali-T860MP4 GPU doesn't look like it is going to be able to deal with 4k video for example)
This strikes quite true to me. When we were between one apartment lease and buying a house, my wife, daughter, and I moved in with my parents. My mom stayed home with our daughter for almost a year, and my wife’s mom did the same for another year. We are also considering having a third child, in large part because my parents live 5 minutes away and provide a lot of free child care.

But I question whether this is “new.” None of this would be unusual in the least in Bangladesh, where my family is from. I strongly suspect that it’s not new in the US either, or at least was only unusual compared to a status quo that existed only for a blip of time during the 20th century.

Great! Until he does a double-blind pre-registered randomized study (with a control group) and it is published in a serious peer review journal (and reproduced a few times by independent research groups), it should be treated like snake oil.

The harm is indirect, because they are mixing real medicine wit pseudoscience. There are a lot of miracle "cures" that appear every month. Many of them steal the patients or the family money, other steal just time and hope. And in some cases, people following the alternative cures avoid following the standard treatment that is better ot at leas reduces the suffering.
Seriously. What even is the reason to hijack the back button.
Most but not all EU states. And many other EU states are very close to US productivity while they're working less http://time.com/4621185/worker-productivity-countries/ So threatening worker's lives and not having a single day of vacation or sick time are clearly not the reason for higher productivity. They're just there to make people's lives more miserable and continue a culture obsessed with control and enslavement. Anyway, productivity only matters to business owners. Workers couldn't give a shit. They just can't get their concerns addressed because we live in a plutocratic oligarchy which hardly qualifies as a democracy.
My mistake. You are right it’s only 50. I still think that 3 months is bit long for not merging any PR for an open source book.

Not sure I wrote about any of those points and confused why you would think raising a strawman is a good argument.

I’m also not saying that large or influential companies should not be held to higher standards; they absolutely should, and they are where I come from. I’m simply saying that, if you consider problems where Facebook made a bad decision (a minority of the scandals) those issues trickle down to two systemic problems: clear, non-contradictory internal guidelines and prioritisation. Facebook employees are trained to recognise both. When they consider other options, they would often see companies where both are significantly worse. Other companies have simply not been through a decade of excruciating oversight by the international press. Those who have are not managed by someone who is nearly as willing to admit his fault as Mark.

I doesn’t mean that those companies are not better options for ex-Facebooker: they often are; or that they would not make the world a better place by joining those, and advocating for higher standards: they often would. Those companies typically should be held to a lesser standard because they have less of an overall impact. But, as an employee, if you want to prevent problems like those that you regret being a witness to at Facebook, leaving is hard because you can easily see the rest of the world as worst more often than not. If you come with your expectation, gained from working at Facebook, that any minor issue will be twisted into a scandal, most other companies feel very wrong.

You can see that by looking at how many people are above ex-Facebookers at the companies that they join: it’s unusually few. That’s because they rarely trust too many layers to make the right call.
Both. California and NY both are productive enough that they send far more money to the federal government than they get back. The state and local tax deduction makes up for this a little, but on net they still give far more than red states.
Sites that have voting, like HN and Reddit, will get judgement that because of what is up voted. There is of course lots of different people, but clear trends do start to appear and that is what people view and assign to be the overall opinion.

Also with a decent WebAuthn implementation (e.g., FIDO U2F hardware tokens, or using a TPM), the private key material cannot be copied by a compromised device, or even by someone with direct access to the hardware (unless they actually disassemble the hardware with quite professional hardware).

Client-side certificates are a great technology, but you can copy the certificates without the owner knowing it. Getting the password is just a matter of social engineering or (further) compromising the device. It beats plain username plus password though!
Precisely this, thanks. And it's not like this has happened to us before, right? :)

Thanks for sharing, thats very useful information. I hope youtubers are familiar with this info!

I think this is the relevant part for this scenario:

>I have a YouTube channel that focuses on hunting, camping, and the outdoors. Sometimes I’ll do a product review. Knife manufacturers know how much I love knives, so they send me knives as free gifts, hoping that I will review them. I’m under no obligation to talk about any knife and getting the knives as gifts really doesn’t affect my judgment. Do I need to disclose when I’m talking about a knife I got for free?

>Even if you don’t think it affects your evaluation of the product, what matters is whether knowing that you got the knife for free might affect how your audience views what you say about the knife. It doesn’t matter that you aren’t required to review every knife you receive. Your viewers may assess your review differently if they knew you got the knife for free, so we advise disclosing that fact.

In this case the youtubers in the OP did disclose that they got the service for free in the video. Perhaps they should have mentioned the fact in writing in the video description/pinned comment as well.

If you do some digging (it's been a while since I last found it) - supposedly some research who at one time worked at ASU actually did come up with such a method; I can't recall what it stimulated with - I want to say ultrasound, but it might have been transcranial magnetism.

The basics worked across all distributions, as far as I know. (The openstack-cli which was built on the HTTP API, which was shared.)

Mostly I had problems with the classic deployment, debug, develop cycle. Reporting bugs is like throwing time out of the window, debugging through overlay networks, über verbose python daemon logs and RabbitMQ madness was also more of a surreally dark exercise in futility, than rewarding experience.

Most of the problems I experienced were problems due to the fundamental trade offs taken during the deveopment of OpenStack. And these are slowly addressed, but ... it was too little too late - at least in our case.
