Sure. The 68000 series did. But address 0 held the starting program counter, and address 4 held the starting stack pointer (or vice versa - it's been a while). Those two were usually mapped to ROM, because they had to have the right values even on cold boot. But that also meant that they weren't writable. So if you had a null pointer, you could read through it, but an attempt to write through it would give you a bus error.

Owning things also brings liabilities. Hit a pothole and pop a car tire -> 250 dollars down the drain. Own a house and roof starts leaking? -> 10k dollars down the drain. There are certainly a huge class of people for which owning a car or a house makes sense, but there are also a lot of people who might be able to afford a car, but when compared to the total costs of maintenance + depreciation + unexpected repairs + parking + insurance + time spent keeping it running (getting gas, finding parking, taking it to the shop), going Car less and using uber + transit + bike + rentals on weekends makes much more sense
it's interesting to think about this case from the perspective of the banned user being right, morally, if not legally. what if?

as our social circles are increasingly connected, being "banished" from them may not be a trivial matter. what is the cost of this to the individual? well to be specific here for a moment, cloudynights is the premier amateur astronomy forum. so for an astronomer, being cut off from that community may be quite significant. imagine a programmer cut off from google or stack overflow or github. we have to remember that these communities exist and are profitable because they are doing something; it's not very easy to quantify the value they provide to an individual in the same way the owner of the forum can simply count up the lost revenue in terms of the number of ad clicks. but that doesn't mean there isn't a value and consequently a cost associated with losing it.

so our user is banned and it has an impact. intuitively it still seems that it doesn't justify attacking the platform. you should at least seek remediation first, right? maybe there is an appeal process. but what if there isnt? increasingly, there is not. as platforms "scale up" they are increasingly automated, with dark patterns consciously baked in from the get-go. the platform can make its own terms. don't like them? go away.

that was ok before the internet became a neccessity to function in modern society. it's not ok anymore, and we need to recognize that people are going to fall through the cracks. pretty normal people who matter just as much as anyone else.

"Rust lacks many of C++'s key core language facilities to capture semantics in a library."

Can you be more specific? I don't even know what you mean by "powerful library". If you mean a library that's been developed and debugged for a long time, then sure, C++ currently has the advantage there, but that's a transient state and nonspecific to the language itself. If you mean a library that does wild, earth-moving things then I would call that a liability, not an advantage. The language features that allow such things are sources of bugs that Rust designers have elected not to introduce in the first place.

The question of, "In April 2019, which language and ecosystem are more reliable?" is a perfectly valid one. Stronger language semantics vs decades of library refinement. It's not at all obvious. But the answer to "Is Rust or C++ a better language in the long run?" seems clear to me.
As someone else in the thread pointed out, we already know of a better solution: paper. Any other solution so far turns out to be either convoluted and/or not as good.

> statistically insignificant as a cause of death

To be sure, I think it should be compared to the number of deaths in the same situations.
I think CocoaPods used GitHub as their backbone.

They recently banned the sale of MEK here in the United States (it's used mainly as a paint stripper), arguably due to its inhalation danger. It was extremely volatile, and in an enclosed space (indoors), it could cause someone to die.

Which it did, of course.

I'm pretty sure it was far fewer deaths than this over a period of 30-40 years, yet for some reason, it was deemed to be highly dangerous and pulled from the market (IIRC, you can still get it for industrial uses - consumer use has been banned).

Just to be clear, I'm saying the same thing I believe you are; that statistically the numbers are insignificant. I find it ludicrous that in the case of MEK, it was used as an excuse to pull the product (to be replaced by far inferior other products on the market) - though I tend to wonder if that was the only reason (I tend to wonder if it didn't have to so with our "war on some drugs", as such a fluid could be used for the making of meth, I imagine).

I doubt any laws will be enacted in the case of "selfie deaths", though - even though if you compared the numbers with the "death from MEK inhalation", you'd see that people are far more likely to die from a selfie than from stripping paint with MEK.

thank you. I read in another comment that this isn't an issue with process isolation of memory (which I originally thought), its an issue with the isolation of memory within the process - would you say that is a good summarisation? i.e. the hardware is working as designed, but the software is expecting guarantees that the hardware never promised?

Distinct cultural communities that often, but don't always, correspond to ethnicity is exactly what you would expect from the construction of a "racial" hierarchy.

If we divided caucasian Americans into two groups, designated one group as "lesser," and then waited a few hundred years you would find similarly stark cultural differences. Again, race is entirely artificial. People were divided based only on superficial appearance and, once those divisions are enforced, cultural distance grows.

So, what you're experiencing is the outgrowth of a racial classification system. It's entirely artificial but, as you say, it also has real consequences. Even if, by magic, we were all transformed to have the same ethnic heritage, the cultural legacy of "race" would make "race" very apparent. African American and caucasian American culture is different - even though those differences are partially (largely? hard to say) from the racial structure imposed on African Americans.

The answer is in your final paragraph. Neither "white" or "AA" culture is a perfect fit for new arrivals (just ask Jamaicans or darker skinned Dominican ex-pats how well they feel seen by any American culture). Indeed, no single cultural approach is "right" and we do ourselves a disservice by searching for one. We have had structures and policies that have driven the two largest cultural groups (white and African American) apart for generations. Abating that push should be a high priority. We also need to be attentive to including as many cultural groups as possible in finding common ground and understanding for living together comfortably. All groups will need to "give" a little ground in terms of what they would most prefer and, in the interest of equity and facing history, many experts think caucasian Americans should give the most.
Ha! I'm the one who is lonely because I couldn't hike along the rim without interrupting a iPhone photo shoot every 100 ft?

I'm sure I came off as a cranky old man, but I'm just making my observations from the last time I was there in the summer 2003. There's nothing wrong with having your picture taken, and it's a part of visiting places and sharing the human experience. But now the sheer volume has become comedic and weird. In this particular case, it's not a secret beach in Kauai. It gets a little bit more dangerous when clear novices in slippery sneakers are climbing out on rock structures to get a shot no one else has. It makes the whole thing more pronounced.

I did a lot of traveling up to 2008, and then started up again in 2015. I'm older so I'm sure my biases evolved, but there are some clear differences. Digital cameras freed you from the tyranny of only having 24 exposures, but the self documentation going on now is more frantic and obsessive.

YMMV, but after a substantially embarassing night (that I found out about the following day) I realized that the feeling of wondering if I did something embarassing (or, horror of finding out that I did) was quite a bit worse than the good feelings I got from drinking that much.

Now, whenever I drink I keep those thoughts in the forefront of my mind. I know I will have _more_ fun if I don't go overboard - with a bonus that I don't need to worry about anything the following day. Whenever I'm approaching my limit, I weigh each drink with these thoughts in mind. What will be more fun? An extra drink, potential embarassment, and lots of anxiousness? Or a glass of water, no embarassment, and no anxiousness?

I imagine this requires friends who wont egg you on. I'm lucky to have a group of friends that understand when I say "I'm done for tonight", they say "okay, no problem! want a water? pop?" rather than encouraging me to get black-out drunk.

You can also operate the CO2 in a 'trans-critical' mode which gets around some of the issues of the low critical temp. This is done by using a gas cooler to cool supercritical fluid in place of the typical condenser.

There aren't really many good alternatives that are cheap, have very low GWP (less than 100), are non-toxic and non-flammable. HFOs are probably the closest to this, but even these are often mildly flammable and typically quite expensive (often > $50/kg).

> There are two big reasons for this shift: the price of housing and student loan debt. A little more than a third of millennials currently own homes, a rate lower than Generation X and baby boomers when they were the same age.

That's the very definition of not by choice. This current effort to rebrand millennials not owning anything as a positive lifestyle choice based on happy clappy sharing economy "choosing experiences" BS is really nefarious.

Given the choice, Millennials would own. They "choose experiences" because they can't afford to own stuff.
It was found to be illegal. The ECJ struck it down in 2014: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/legislative-train/theme-area-o...

I've wondered the same thing about dreaming.
I think a more accurate term for people who have a living arrangement that isn't within the confines of most people's idea of "home", but is a stable home to them nonetheless is "houseless".

Full-time RV'ers, for instance, would be houseless. A person who has given up their house or lease, and disposed of or stored their possessions to take a long-term trip (gap year, thru-hike, etc) would be houseless. Hashtag vanlifers? Houseless.

Similarly, I'd call somebody living the lifestyle presented in the article houseless, not homeless.

It's a risk to get started, but if you're saving time and effort, that time can be used to train. I work at an Erlang shop, and none of our early employees knew Erlang before we were hired -- we took an existing Erlang application and adjusted it to suit our needs better; over time we've rewritten the whole thing (while it was running). If you're trying to hire experienced Erlang developers, it's hard because there's not that many.

Instead, hire smart developers that are willing to try something different, and are good at interfacing with other systems, and willing to look under the hood from time to time.

> there are times I drink too much and forget what happened the night before

That's bad.

You may not be able to reduce your alcohol consumption. Not everyone can. But...

> I only ever drink on a weekend and not throughout the week.

That's a good sign. So what's happening here is that alcohol lowers your inhibitions. When you're sober, you have control over yourself, which is why you can get through the week. When you start drinking, you lose that control, so you keep drinking, and you pass out. Whether you can drink without crossing that threshold is an open question. Like I said, not everyone can do that. For some people, one drink pushes them over the edge.

Do this experiment: next weekend, don't drink at all.

If you can do that, then the FOLLOWING weekend have ONE drink and STOP. (That's one drink for the WHOLE WEEKEND. Not one drink on Friday and another on Saturday.)

If that works out OK, then the NEXT weekend, have two and then stop. Not all at once. Pace yourself. At least an hour between drinks. If that works out OK, then the NEXT weekend go up to three.

If at any time you find yourself thinking, "This is all OK, I can have one more" then STOP. That's the danger sign.

If at any stage in this process you find yourself making excuses for why it's OK short-circuit any step in the process, then I have bad news for you: you're an alcoholic, and if you don't want to keep blacking out you're going to have to just stop.

UPDATE: raztogt21 also had some very good advice: never drink alone. It also helps to let your drinking buddies know that you're on this program so that they can help keep an eye on you. If your friends ever encourage you to drink past your limit, get new friends.

I feel like banning the sale of fresh vegetables would do a whole lot more to reduce waste.

Every grocery store talks about "shrink" in their Form 10K. They buy extra fruits, vegetables, and meat so that the consumer has a full shelf or display to select from. XX% of that goes unsold, gets processed into prepared food (chopped fruits/vegetables, etc.), and then what's unsold from that gets tossed or donated.

Farmer's Markets have shrink too -- and the lack of climate control means that spoilage happens on the order of days, rather than weeks.
That was my point: someone needs to clean sewers, and nobody would do it as a first choice.

I mean, these things are all priced into renting. There's some virtue in paying them in a predictable, steady rate instead of getting spikes of bad luck, but it's not like you pay less for car tires on an Uber, or for roofs in a rental unit, than you do as a car owner or a home owner. And if you want predictability, you should be able to get insurance, or just reserve a chunk of your income for a "home maintenance fund."

(EDIT: I guess that to the extent that you live in a multi-story rental building, you and other renters above and below you share the costs of the single roof above you. But that's, first, not the major cost of home ownership, second, not applicable to all renting, and third, probably a small enough savings that it's eaten up by profits to your landlord and the costs of maintaining a super.)

Call centers get entire lists of registered votes (or what they last were registered as) when targeting for polls.

Now they do not come with who the individual voted for which is probably how they get around this.

So many times when you would call someone and say, "Records show you are a registered as a democrat/republican, is that correct?"

Rebuttal, "How do you know what I'm registered as isn't that illegal?"

Candid response, "Knowing who you voted for is illegal, I do not have that information, however your registered party is public information and any questions about who you voted for you can refuse."
