Gleb Bahmutov: When I First Saw Cypress.io Test Runner, I Knew It Was Special
I have experience with production CPU governing in some Android devices.

It is more art than science - you want to get the best possible user experience while not using too much power and not exceeding thermal and power limits.

Typically, governors are written as linux kernel modules. They get to choose the clock speed of groups of cores, and which cores are enabled. Some are in trustzone applications or android userland apps though.

Some hardware has extra constraints. For example, the autofocus mechanism on one device I worked on used a lot of power, so while the autofocus was initializing, the CPU had to be scaled down to the slowest speed for a few milliseconds, and the radio transmit disabled. The code ends up a mess because you need to pipe that info from all the other device drivers with no proper interface. A large number of devices do similar shenanigans when the battery is <50% because the battery voltage drops at high loads, and if it's already quite low, then you'll trip a brownout detector and reboot the device.

Thermal constraints are the main one - typically represented as some exponential curves. Ie. you may be at 2.0Ghz for 100ms, 1.8Ghz for 1 second, 1.6Ghz for 5 seconds, 1.4 Ghz for 30 seconds, etc. Depending on the history of the currently running process, the governor would try to decide if it was best to go to 2.0Ghz because this was going to be a quick task, or to only start at 1.6Ghz because it was going to be a long running thing.

Hopefully thats some insight! Check out XDA forums where some devices have a community of people into modding governors for different use cases.

> his math skills didn’t stand out

I don't believe that is right. From WP:

When Feynman was 15, he taught himself trigonometry, advanced algebra, infinite series, analytic geometry, and both differential and integral calculus. Before entering college, he was experimenting with and deriving mathematical topics such as the half-derivative using his own notation. He created special symbols for logarithm, sine, cosine and tangent functions so they did not look like three variables multiplied together, and for the derivative, to remove the temptation of canceling out the d's. A member of the Arista Honor Society, in his last year in high school he won the New York University Math Championship.
No it's not - banks are statistical multiplexers.

They don't take money and lend it out. They create money, lend that, and then remove that money as the capital (loan amount) is repaid - or when the loan goes into default.
No, I am responding to this statement and staying entirely on topic: "No other country would put up with such blatant disregard for people's health in favor of greed."

You are trying to limit the scope of "greed" to something that only applies to the US, when in reality it applies to pretty much every country in the world.

20,000 may be small but for those of us who grew up in rural areas I don't think that's what we think of immediately when you invoke the phrase "small town." For us the 20k town was the booming city we would sometimes visit.

From where I grew up in the country we could drive about 20 minutes to get to a town of maybe 1000 people and it's very different than 20k. You probably have one small clinic in the 1k town (compare to multiple doctors and probably a hospital in the 20k town) and maybe a small independent grocery store (vs probably multiple regional chains in the 20k).

The difference of scale is a difference of kind too. And also, the image of the "small town" - the romanticized version - isn't of the strip mall laden 20k town, but of the 1k town frozen in the past.

But let me tell you both of those size towns suck for different reasons. The decay is more palpable now in the 1k town as the economic horizon has really contracted. That one grocery store is probably closed now. The 20k town may make a go at things because it has more residents and thus retail type jobs, but unlike the 1k town built environment is more gross and less quaint, and the strip mall filled landscape is depressing.

These papers are interesting, thanks for sharing.

However, the primary axiom is of a web server that is serving static content that is located on the device. That, in a sense, gives almost infinite time and knowledge to deciding prioritisation of work.

For HTTP proxies that have to fetch resources from some other server, the time and knowledge window becomes much shorter. Decision making needs to be done quickly in order to minimise the latency of returning anything. And the upstream server may response in unexpected ways.

This is the challenge for today's CDN deployments. And developing a solution that works for the huge variety of how websites are developed is the really interesting bit.

As far as investments, I'm no economist, but I'm skeptical that the money spent purchasing securities has an equal impact as someone buying goods and services locally. It seems like a disproportionate amount would go right back to other members of the investor class, who are going to use it on other securities, or else high-margin luxury items, and very little of that is actually going to escape that bubble.

I think you could argue that replacing benefits with direct income is still a "win" for society. If they're able, it's more efficient for people to meet their own needs than to be provided for through a bureaucratic process with lots of administrative overhead.
I'm kind of torn here, because I could see this being really useful for web archivists -- e.g. the people who jumped to try to preserve as much of Tumblr as possible as that seems to be "sunsetting" -- but the sites that are actually likely to configure this properly are the very ones I'd expect to have some of the best already-existing archives of. If someone cares enough to set this header, they probably also care enough to try to preserve things reasonably well, or at least have users who do.

The other use cases listed in the RFC don't seem incredibly compelling. Anyone have one that comes to mind?
Conveniently you don't need to know everyone individually if you think there is sufficient oversight.

I'm no genius but people I've met in life have often remarked that I'm "intelligent" or "bright" or whatever and when I did the Mensa test out of curiosity I got the "top 1%" result (don't remember any more numbers than that).

But I've always lacked in social skills. Such skills, that to me seem innate in other people, I've had to work to acquire (or maybe learn to fake). As though other people have a dedicated coprocessor for these things and can do them more or less effortlessly whereas I have to use lots and lots of CPU cycles to figure out what other people expect from me. This means that social interactions cost quite a bit of energy and I often have to zone out to recuperate. Which in turn means that social interactions distract me from achieving some of what my supposedly very-much-above-average raw intellect should allow. Most other people seem to "feel" much more than I do, and I think I "think" more than most.

Still, I like it inside my head and I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
That might be the case with glibc but other libraries, compilers and OSes do not follow that. A minimal statically compiled C program in OpenWatcom under Windows is around 50KB and a statically compiled C program in MSVC is around 100KB (i do not count GCC/Clang because last time i checked those generate code that rely on msvcrt.dll which actually is a C library that comes with Windows).

Other languages do follow a similar pattern too. Free Pascal has its own runtime library which is linked statically to the executable, does not link against libc unless you want to use c library functions (or libraries that themselves may want to link against c), has a much richer library than libc and yet it can create executables around the same size as C (a simple hello world is a 40KB .exe file in FPC).

So, no, the reason for C having small executables is not that C has any head start (besides, with the exception of GCC and Clang, no other Windows C compiler in Windows relies on a C libraries that comes with Windows, although some - like MSVC and C++ Builder - can use it as a dynamic library which may or may not be installed system-wide).

My impression was the shopping example would be more aligned with something like delivery info -- it's not there just for a session, but a month after the package is marked "delivered" it's probably at least marked for deletion.

I really like this idea. I used to work in advertising/marketing and we were launching a lot of purpose built, short-lived landing pages, e.g. to collect entries in a contest, then announce the winners. These websites were live for a period specified in the contest terms, then usually archived. I could see myself routinely implementing this header in such cases.

Also, from the resource consumer point of vie this could help guide efforts like archive.org to make snapshots before it's too late.

To be honest, last time China accepted major trade deals from the West to fully open their market, they got their cities flooded by opium and got land ruled by foreign law, and then got their government toppled. The lessons learned from that was that if you are not careful, western countries will come and dominate you. Look around, the same happened in India and many other countries with often exctintion of natives

Fast forward to 2018, China and USA already agreed to WTO rules with China considered as a developing countries and thus granted special rights such as protection of its industries. Then USA unilaterally breaks WTO rules with tariffs with an arbitrary interpretation of "national security" and wants a signature of a one way deal where USA gets all the rights and controls but doesn't give anything. I'm sorry but history teaches you that kind of deals will get your citizens subjugated by foreign powers or foreign corporations.

They offered them a lower bug bounty reward with a big "gift" on the side. This would mean Intel gets to report the bug as lower severity. And presumably the extra "gift" money, which raises the total paid above the max bounty they normally offer by $20,000, had some strings attached.

I've already read articles that some of the vulnerabilities were found more than a year ago. And as others reported similar exploits, they grouped them all together into 2 "teams" and made the PR release all at once. The only reason we're hearing anything now, is that I heard the team who found the first bug threatened to leak since it had been a whole year. The first bug was discovered a year and three days ago. If they didn't threaten to leak, god knows how long Intel would have spent collecting bugs.

This CPU "bug" is actually 4 different CVE's, some quite different from the others, and presumably discovered at various times over the past year.

Just scummy as hell by Intel. They #1 forced a bunch of different researchers who found different bugs to split the bounty, #2 aggregated the bugs rolling in for more than a year to minimize impact. That's on top of the attempted bribery and rumors that the microcode + patches do not fully mitigate leaks between hyper threads.

And for the argument that they didn't have enough time at one year... They had enough time to fix and release new silicon! Intel states that chips made in the last month are fixed at a hardware level. It's orders of magnitude harder to ship silicon than software, so my assumption is that the fixes for existing chips have been ready for a while. They've just been sitting, waiting
