Point taken, I didn’t know Bezos had an engineering background! Amazing.
What I found crazy about my school was the contrast between the pressure and the (lack of) power. We'd be given the workload of full time finance/medicine/law jobs, veritable Elon Musk workaholic situations, but no sort of power, no sort of control. Granted my school was better than most. The administration was fairly lenient and I can only think of one teacher whom I truly despised. But still, we were constantly at the mercy of teachers and security guards, gym teachers and assistant principals. We'd get hours and hours of homework and have to just smile and go with it.
I wonder if one should not use a dialer to call them back, sending an automated message until someone listens and acknowledges? They have a huge outbound capability, but their weak spot is inbound and call completion - they expect basically no call to complete. So anything that keeps their agents busy will immediately reflect on the number of calls they make. Would it be legal?
As someone else said, it adds nothing and it's a tiresome sentiment.
Wow! News to me. Thanks for letting me know.
Looking at the underlying paper, I'm actually skeptical that there's any practical performance/energy boosts from this accelerator. The best case they're giving is something like a ~3-5× boost on GC (which is generally ~10% of total time, much of it hopefully idle time anyways if you're tuning GC well), with a 15% power reduction, assuming your collector is a stop-the-world, non-concurrent collector (and you rewrite your object layout). There's no measurement of the energy cost of the idling core, nor of the cost of extra memory and cache traffic trundling objects to and from the accelerator rather than sticking on the core. Those costs are likely to be even worse if you try to adapt this into incremental and concurrent collectors.

Especially when you ask the question "is it better to spend the area/power budget on a highly-specialized accelerator, or to give it over to another full core that can do other things when it's not collecting garbage," it's hard to motivate this kind of accelerator.
Given that an RTL-SDR is a device capable of receiving and intercepting all sorts of radio signals, I would be very careful of traveling with one unless I was intimately familiar with the relevant laws of the country I was traveling to.
Well, a lot of people seem to have accepted that it's racist to oppose discriminating based on race in college admissions... This would not be the first time in recent memory that a word came to be used for exactly the opposite meaning.

I'd love to hear from someone who thinks that that isn't a definition in use today, or that affirmative action wouldn't have been considered prima facie racist a century ago, no matter the races.
Depending on the workload different memory allocation strategies perform better or worse. GC systems usually even have the fastest allocation. The only problem is that you see deallocation as one big block that is completely disconnected from allocation.
ssh-agent has prompting and you can set up a Yubikey with ssh.

The problem here was agent forwarding, which you should almost always replace with opening a new connection via ssh -J (or equivalent.)

>the idea of giving the government, military, and police a monopoly on weaponry (or radio receivers, for that matter) sounds even more insane.

I've heard this line of reasoning often when discussing this topic and never really understood.

I'm curious - the government/military have tanks, aircraft, nuclear weapons etc. There is a massive imbalance of power regardless of whether citizens have guns. In what scenarios with respect to the government/military/police do you see being armed as providing an advantage?

I can see the advantage from the police side in terms of more easily justifying shooting people ("he had a gun / I thought he had a gun"), but not from the citizens' side.

I'm not advocating either side, I'm just curious to understand the genesis of this argument.
These platforms aren’t being used to cover war crimes by an entity consciously trying to deliver news.

These posts are first hand accounts of individuals currently living an event. It is as raw as it gets. I don’t think you can very easily direct where content like that gets created. People will use the platform they’re already using for the other parts of their life.

I understand the desire to not traumatize people by causing them to accidentally view horrible events. But at the same time I think deleting the content is a disservice to humanity in the long run for a lot of reasons this article highlights.

Just to add to the pile. I was once accused of kicking a teacher during a class. I was at the back of the class when it happened. What followed was 2 days of "guilty until proven innocent" karangaroo court, the teacher vowing to get me put in the remedial class (he knew I was striving for valedictorian, he was trying his best to inflict whatever pain he could on me). I was terrified, beyond upset and I don't think I ever truly got over the injustice. Luckily I had pigheaded parents who point blanked refused to accept the idea I could have done something so stupid. I will always remember how my life could have changed for the worse due to the pettiness of one man who was suppose to be looking out for the future of kids. One of many, many injustices I witnessed. No wonder kids are getting angrier and more stressed.

Use composition for reuse and interfaces for polymorphism. These can do the same as inheritance and more, and they do it more cleanly. Reuse and polymorphism are orthogonal concerns that inheritance tries to fuse awkwardly together.

Apparently the freedom of the press, freedom of expression, and the right to access information is also foreign to New Zealanders.

If you took a moment to understand the situation, you would understand why sometimes it is better for everyone to be a potential threat, rather than just the select few who also censor your speech.

We would all love to see that but it is - within the context of the current economy - impossible for the majority of people.

This is a scenario where the regular incentives of the market result in perverse outcomes.

Firstly - it’s not tech which did this. Tech mutated and accelerated a pre existing trend for the worse.

The news cycle effect was well known, driving more and more sensational news reporting till at the cost of reason.

At the same time newspapers were constantly going under or being bought up.

With information distribution at scale, describing reality increasingly became the playground of nations (BBC, and lately various government owned news channels) or major firms (the Murdoch emptier.)

There’s a deep problem at the nexus of human behavior, factual reporting and income.

Attention and fear are easier and more reliable levers to pull in the human consumer.

Humans are easily distracted by sex, violence, gossip and easy to consume content - our brains are wired that way for some of those things, and it’s always pleasing to consume mental sugar than mental vegetables.

The only model which survives this is paying lots of money for specific information - usually linked to your profession.

However general news reporting It is unlikely to recover because of the news cycle effect which creates a tendency to compete on attention, a race to the bottom.
I don't agree: the OSI protocols were the classic camel-is-a-horse-designed-by-committee: heavyweight and looked like a pain to use. Looked like, as I never saw a working stack.

I mean, the goal of absolute return hedge funds is pretty much the same: only have exposure to alpha factors. With market makers it’s pretty much the same thing: only have exposure to order flow. That’s the alpha.

I’ve worked as a quant at both hedge funds and market makers, and both have a similar philosophy of a only getting exposure to “alpha”, though the means and capital required (as you mentioned) are quite different.

I think a concept of Sharpe ratio still applies to both though, with market making having an clearly higher one.

Personally, I’ve found working for a hedge fund a lot better, market making is kind of a drab business when you get down to the nuts and bolts.
Probably not. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-this-the-best-com...
This makes no sense.

Pretty much all evidence starts out in some nonprofessional hands.

By this logic you could also say that you shouldn't record evidence of war crimes on your Android smartphone, because Android footage "shouldn't be evidence of anything" and "Evidence should be gathered by appropriate authorities and kept in accordance with international standards on evidence storage."

Videos from Facebook or Twitter can and have often been used as evidence in court.

> Twitter and Facebook posts should not be evidence of anything. That stuff is so easily faked that courts would be entirely right to laugh such "evidence" out of the courtroom.

What courts usually do when such things may be disputed is they ask the platform to confirm that the content in question is real. Source: I have been asked to appear in front of a judge (usually in his office to sign a written statement) to confirm the accuracy/authenticity of data from one of my platforms in the past.

I don't think there often is a dispute though, because both parties are aware this will happen and are also aware of the consequences of falsifying evidence.

Obviously that screenshot/video together with electronic traces and your statement would then be stored wherever it is they store evidence, not just on FB/Twitter.
Inheritance drives me nuts. I'm trying to read through a class and keep it all in my head, then I see a call that isn't defined, so I have to look at the base class. Now I have two classes I'm trying to keep in my head. But oh wait, it inherits from something else. Then I finally find the implementation and ive forgotten the context it was getting invoked in. I'd much rather just have an explicit import providing code reuse.

Actually, it was not always part of the deal. Back when i signed up for the service, it was still in private beta. They had a cheesy little counter with how much space you were granted (1GB to start with). Terms of Sevice were an afterthought, and sure as hell there was not a clause to sift through your mail. I remember when they put that clause in their ToS finally a few years later and it was a HUGE deal.

And look where we are now. Not only is it expected (!!) but people are telling us to suck it up, this is how it’s always been (it wasn’t) and it’s our own fault because we didn’t read the ToS. When did this become the norm, and when did it even become acceptable??

> Arguably, this is crappy design and a better design for /etc/shadow would be to require some kind of explicit, very obvious value like "NO-PASSWORD-REQUIRED".

I think pretty much all Linux distributions use PAM nowadays (although I'm sure there are exceptions).

From pam_unix.so(8):

> The default action of this module is to not permit the user access to a service if their official password is blank.

Unfortunately, many distributions pass the "nullok" option to the pam_unix.so module, overriding this default behavior. Removing any instances of "nullok" from any files in /etc/pam.d/ is highly recommended -- unless you explicitly want this behavior (which could be a reasonable choice, in some specific use cases).
To add a bit more - there are no city/county criminal laws in the United States, only state and federal. But we have Federal, State, City, and County law enforcement officers. So Denver is working to de-prioritize/“decriminalize” for in-city law enforcement officers. I imagine state police and federal officers would not pay too much attention to this if it goes through.

Also, a city has no ability to decriminalize something, as that would have to be done by the state legislature or a statewide vote. So this is really not “decriminalizing” at all... the initiative itself uses the word “deprioritize”: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5bb4f9c27046803ce123a...

What do people expect?

Isn’t this uncharted territory for everyone?

Everyone can report, but the public sphere where this happens is owned by a company which needs profit.

Humanity was always insulated from what the worst that happened at that minute by the difficulty of transmitting information over older mediums.

This means incentives are not aligned here - speaking the truth, keeping you engaged, and keeping Disney land clean.

A person in the UK who wakes up in the morning doesn’t want to see evidence that South American violence has resulted in an entire village being eradicated.

As a species We were insulated from thinking at species scale. We could do village and perhaps nation scale on and average human basis. A rare few people can think at a planetary or greater scale regularly.

So how precisely should this be structured ?

I think your comment really does hit the point home. The developer working on a piece of software without any incentive to actually work on that software, doesn't and shouldn't care for the user.

To solve that, one needs to find a way to incentivise the developer so they are actually able to work on requests not just features they deem important.
> how can we have any discussion about anything if everyone gets to define words to mean whatever they want to mean?

Redefining terms has been common on reddit for years now but it is gaining ground here quite steadily. It's pretty disheartening that the mods seem fine with this, perhaps they see it as an ends justifies the means type of thing.
>Ergo, clueless normies who put their own spin on your brilliant memes deserve to die.

The term 'normie' means alot more than just 'someone who ruins memes'. Normies are primarily hated because they often treat 'autists' as other or less than.

I totally agree with this, growing up it would anger me to no end that people wouldn't take me seriously because of my age, Aaron Swartz used to say 'I hate when you don't take me seriously'.

Why do you think it discourages any community participation?

It does put some restrictions regarding the license for modifications (it must be permissive, or CLA needs to be signed), but anyone can fork, maintain or share their copy. They just can't make money by selling it, without also paying to original authors. Which seems fair to me.

Should contributors also be somehow compensated? Bigger ones, absolutely. How? I have no idea, but there's at least some chance of that happening with Commons Clause, while with FOSS there is none.

As for examples... From Commons Clause? No. But since Redis Labs changed the license for their modules I'm not aware of any projects using it. Unfortunately.

There are plenty examples in closed source space though... Windows, MacOS, Photoshop, Illustrator, Trello, GitHub.

>>The goal is to build housing that is actually used as housing as opposed to a vehicle for speculation.

You're completely ignoring Econ 101.

Housing that is used as housing and housing that is a vehicle for speculation are not mutually exclusive. Rental properties produce rental income and appreciation for their owners. More people looking to make money from real estate investments results in more capital investment going into expanding housing stock, and thus more rental supply, which drives down rental rates.

The places which suffer the most from lack of affordable housing tend to be those that put in place the most impediments to profit-motivated investment. In other words, they ignore basic economics.

This strategy is working the rate at which people are hacked on platforms like iOS is a fraction of what it used to be like for general computing. There will always be security holes, but you plug them as you find them just as you create mitigation’s against classes of problems to the best of your ability. Why make it easy for the attacker?
Reference counting is already slower than having a GC in most practical applications, not to mention that having no circular references may make the code where you need 'em either slower or means you'll have to write a workaround, which is often also overhead and makes things more complicated.
