The problem is that the only way to read the program counter is through jsr or an interrupt and these both can’t do relative jumps.

If you start with that information and you allow patching you can of course relocate the code on the fly, but I wouldn’t really call that position independent code generation by a compiler. It’s more like you’re implementing your own linker.

For someone who might be interested in reading some research on the topic:

Videogames may help with anxiety. They may be used as a healthy alternative to otherwise compulsive behaviors (self-harm etc) and just as a general coping technique battling anxiety episodes[0] and also offer a healthy distraction for people suffering from PTSD[1] but it's not a 100% safe route, sometimes videogames may trigger even more anxiety, sometimes people will fall into compulsive/obsessive territory and develop an addiction (which will basically start a vicious loop of anxiety-compulsive gaming-more anxiety-more compulsive etc).
I really like this article - [2], it looks broadly into the issue which is multi variable.

P.s. Regardless of their effectiveness as a psychotherapeutic tool, videogames which are dealing with mental health as their main theme and exposing these issues to wide audiences, are obviously very needed and important.

They are sometimes. One of mine did.

I had some nerve damage a while back and went to a neurologist. He did an EMG test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyography) and confirmed the nerve was damaged. He used electrodes to show that it did not conduct electricity like it was supposed to, nor did it conduct electricity like the corresponding one on the other side of my body. (Somewhere, I have a printout showing voltage and latency numbers.)

He then told me that if the damage is not too great, nerves can repair themselves, that the repair proceeds outward from the brain toward the periphery of the body, and that it happens at a rate of roughly 1 millimeter per day. So, he said, my problem would probably resolve itself but it would be a long time, think 6 months or a year, maybe even longer to finally be back to 100%.

And it basically happened just like he said it would. 6 months later, it was a lot better, and it continued to gradually improve from there.

He also mentioned that using the affected muscles would help encourage healing. I think he meant the nerve itself would heal faster this way, not just that it would help reverse muscle atrophy.
> Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as "natural", "non-invasive", and as promoting "self-healing".

I read most of the articles from the bottom up nowadays. Most of the writers don’t get straight to the point because they click bait too much and they know that they have to fill up their articles with as much bullshit as possible in order to compensate for the lack of relevant content. If the article is long enough you might fall for the trap of wanting to save it for later rather than dismiss it completely.

The sole mission is to bait you into that cost-per-click and cost-per-thousand-impressions profit generator, that’s it.
This quoted section on its own makes it sound like Dan is complaining about all the people who aren't discussing the thing he (the creator of the tool/library/idea) wanted them too. I thought the same thing as I first read this section. But I think it becomes clear that he's not making that complaint, or at the very least, he describes a clear reason why people tend to discuss certain concepts, and offers a way to try to get your concepts discussed.

Sigh...
My favorite story that I've talked about as the first "cyber" attack for years is from the time of the second Jewish temple, a few hundred years B.C.

The Jewish calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and each month has either 29 or 30 days. Back then the length of months was not declared in advance. Instead, each month when a new moon was spotted witnesses could come to the religious court (called Sanhedrin) in Jerusalem claiming to have witnessed the new moon, and if the court accepted their testimony that day was declared the first of the month. To spread the word they would light a bonfire on a mountain, and every city that saw the bonfire would light their own and the message would quickly spread. (Similar to the semaphore system but only transmitting a single bit. Because the signal was just a fire at nighttime it would reach very far very quickly)

Now, there was a small offshoot of Jews known as Karaits, whose interpretation of the Bible caused them to believe that passover must fall on a Sunday (the passage says something like "on the first day [of passover] " which can also be interpeted as "on Sunday"). "Mainstream" (at the time) Judaism did not agree with this interpretation. So what did the Karaits do? On the day that they wanted to be the first of the month (such that Passover, the fourteenth of the month, would fall on Sunday) they went to a nearby mountain and lit a bonfire. The other cities saw the bonfire and assumed it was legitimate, and so lit their own bonfires as well, and the fake message was spread. Classic man in the middle attack!

So how did the Sanhedrin solve this issue? One way would be to sign their messages with RSA. Generate two large prime numbers p and q, have N=p*q and e=65537 be public, known parameters, figure out how to properly pad your messages so that you're not using a completely broken system, and sign the hash of the message with phi=(p-1)(q-1).

There are a few problems with this. First, it's difficult to transmit 1024 bit messages over fire signals. Second - Rivest, Shamir and Adelman wouldn't be born for another 2000 years or so.

Instead, the solution was to move to a different, more secure medium. Instead of lighting a fire, the Sanhedrin would send messengers to spread the word to nearby cities, and each city would send their own messengers to their neighbors. Each city would trust their immediate neighbors and a chain of trust could be established.

The problem with the new solution is that it is much much slower than the traditional fire signals, so some far off places wouldn't know when the previous month started by the time the 14th of the month (passover) came around. To handle this, far off cities would celebrate two days of passover - one on the 14th assuming the previous month had 29 days, and one on the following day under the assumption that there were 30 days.

To this day, the tradition of Jews in far off places celebrating 2 days of holidays remains. Orthodox religious Jews outside of Israel celebrate 2 days of each of the 3 major Jewish holidays out of a sense of "doubt" over which day the holiday actually falls on because the message would not arrive in time.
I'm not surprised - obviously, the longer you go, the higher percentage of them will fail, and that's true for AK and others just as much. I'm specifically addressing the myth that because of the Stoner action depositing more carbon inside the receiver, you must clean AR much more often than other assault rifles, and that it will fail quickly if you do not.

So these experiments show that carbon accumulation is not the issue. There are other things about AR design that make it less reliable in some cases (and more reliable in others, like that infamous mud test), but they apply to both DI and piston ARs.
I had this problem when creating a new Twitter account last month. Within minutes after setting up an account via iOS app, was locked out for "suspicious behavior". Didn't even tweet once. Residential IP. They wanted me to add a phone number.

I went to the help section and wrote a pissed off message to customer support...if they wanted my phone # they should have asked for it instead of accusing me. Shortly after, my account started working again.

Absolutely. I've gotten great mileage out of simplification. I code the same way. My rule of thumb is that if you can't explain something, you probably did it wrong.

My approach offends most geeks and wonks. Oh well.

I'll give an example. After years of thrashing on election integrity, with vendors and admins dragging everyone through the weeds of policy and arcana, I finally figured out the whole argument comes down to "private voting, public counting". Period. Any deviance from that is capitulation. You can advocate for something else. But it's not democratic.

From my vantage, compared to me, most everyone else is bike shedding, being too clever by half, pushing rope. Or worse: obfuscation, obstruction. I can stomach it for a while, like when I'm getting up to speed on an issue. But once I figure out someone's just stalling, I lose interest in hearing any more.

Top-down has its place: designing market places, establishing inalienable human rights, the big stuff. But for implementation, like our current welfare regime, it's paternalistic and dehumanizing. I prefer bottom up distributed decision making solutions, like UBI, wherever feasible.

I am very interested in complexity vs governance. I believe (but cannot prove) that a lot of stuff is just too complicated to reason about. Like our health insurance system.

I'll read that paper, thanks.

They have been doing this for any account registered from a VPN or Tor. However, you can simply appeal the block and tell them you haven't tweeted and not broken any rules.

They will send you an automated mail, offering to validate your phone number, or reply to the mail if your problem is not solved. Just reply to the mail.

Unfortunately, processing the request takes anywhere between 10 minutes and 2 weeks; usually a couple days at least. I assume this is on purpose to make it cumbersome for spammers.

They always reply with the same boilerplate, but the account will be unlocked:

Your account is now unlocked, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Twitter has automated systems that find and remove automated spam accounts and it looks like your account got caught up in one of these spam groups by mistake. This sometimes happens when an account exhibits automated behavior in violation of the Twitter Rules (https://twitter.com/rules).

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please do not respond to this email as replies will not be monitored.
Of course, a pesticide-free market could exist alongside the status quo. The question is how much more expensive it would be. Mounting revelations like TFA are what drive demand for that.

However, I think consumer confusion is the main challenge for such a market. How many people already think buying organic = no pesticides? Or they see your pesticide-free marketing and think "my bases are already covered: I shop at Trader Joe's."

Agreed, but my point above was that if you are not happy as a manager, you're probably going to be really unhappy as a senior manager, approaching severe depression/anxiety as a director, and ready to jump off a bridge as a VP. If you're just going on that track for the pay potential, your happiness level is going to be worse the higher you go up and the more divorced you are from tasks (like programming) that you enjoy.

Did you mean/intend to post this as a "Show HN" link?
This is great advice for technical writing, including ads, sitcom script
pitches and scientific papers, all of which are addressed to humans with a
very limited attention span.

In literary writing however, the opposite is true: the person picking up a
novel, or even a short story, wants to read your shit. That's why people read
literature (as opposed to ads or technical manuals). Because they enjoy
reading. And the more of it there is to enjoy, the more the enjoyment lasts.
Like a good meal, good literature makes you want to eat more, More, MORE. And
then have a nice glass of wine and a cigar as you sit in front of your
fireplace on your bearskin rug. Ish.

I mean, have you ever heard anyone say "I'll just pour myself a nice Chianti
and relax with a nice paper on variational autoencoders", or some such? Nah.
People read technical writing because they have to, because they need the
knowledge locked inside. Not because they _like_ it!

This is why technical papers are written so as to minimise the amount of
attention one has to invest in the task of reading them. For instance- a good
technical paper keeps summarising itself. The title is a one-line summary of
the work done. The abstract is a slightly longer summary. The introduction is
a still slightly longer summary, with a short outline of what you are about to
read anyway at the end. The related work section is a short summary of
previous work in the field. The framework section summarises your intuitions
of several years' work, admittedly hiding any excitement you might have felt
about figuring out something new behind a barrage of impenetrable shibboleths
of your field. The implementation section is a short summary of about ten
thousand (wo)man hours of hair pulling. The experiments section is centered on
a visual summary of what was achieved (plots). And the conclusion section
summarises the paper you just read, just in case you missed the point.

It's an awful, ugly, horrible way to write that sucks all the joy out of
writing and reading. It's really a kind of straightjacket. And, to be
perfectly honest, far from the article author's assertion that it somehow
helps "hone your skill", I find that it only achieves what a straightjacket
achieves: restrain you while you go mad.
SamacSys footprint/schematic search/install plugin for the Altium Designer
I use the Altium designer to design PCBs. Recently I found a very interesting plugin which can be installed and used inside the Altium designer. I am able to search for the components and install the libraries in the Altium and use them instantly in the project.

Designing the schematic and footprints libraries are time-consuming and tedious tasks, which reduces the productivity of a designer because it is a routine procedure for every new component that brings fatigue and sometimes nervousness. Therefore, at least it helped me a lot, so I decided to share it here

https://www.samacsys.com/altium-designer-library-instructions

you can try the component search engine itself also:

https://componentsearchengine.com

it has been produced by a company named SamacSys, which is located in London-UK. The component database/search engine contains more than 15 million parts and all services of this website are for free. even if you could not find a specific component, it can be ordered to be designed for free!

Valve recently announced partner access to their network backbone which addresses a lot of the problems mentioned here:

* Access to our network, giving your players protection from attack, 100% reliable NAT traversal, and improved connectivity.
* Tools for instantly estimating the ping between two arbitrary hosts without sending any packets.
* A high quality end-to-end encrypted reliable-over-UDP protocol.

>> Second, clients can select a route that gets off of the public Internet and onto our dedicated links as early as possible. On our backbone we can ensure that the routing is optimal, since we have peered with over 2,500 ISPs. We also prioritize the latency-sensitive game traffic over HTTP content downloads, which we can afford to do because game traffic makes up a relatively small percentage of our overall bandwidth utilization. And on our backbone, a sudden surge of traffic unrelated to gaming won’t degrade the experience.

Yep, this is absolutely the case.

As an example, see the "Middleware" tutorial page in the Redux docs [0], which Dan wrote. It walks through the process of "how and why did we end up at the final middleware API?", by demonstrating several "failed" attempts at solving the problem of logging.

The page itself is well-written, and definitely demonstrates Dan's standard teaching style. But, it's also true that it's not obvious from glancing at the page how to _use_ middleware, because that doesn't come until the "failed" attempts.

Another good example is his "Redux tutorial" videos on Egghead [1], where he walks through basically building Redux as the process for teaching how to use it and how it works.

For some people, that teaching style is great. For others, they just want to know _how_ to use something, not necessarily how it _works_ right now.

(We're planning to revamp the Redux docs soon-ish [2], and I do plan to change the contents of that "Middleware" tutorial to be an actual explanation of how to _use_ middleware correctly, and then move the "why does it work this way?" explanation to a different section of the docs.)
