As I recalled, you wrote channel instructions, or chains of channel instructions, as "CCW"s (Channel Command Words), which you dispatched to the channels via a "SIO" or "SIOF" instruction (Start I/O, or Start I/O Fast).

Once the operation started, the SIO(F) returned to you and the channel operated asynchronously from the CPU, moving the data directly in or out of memory. I think SIOF returned as soon as the channel received the instruction, whereas SIO waited for the instruction actually began.

So the channel actually added as sort of co-processor with the same access to memory as other CPUS. I'm pretty sure the channel could use virtual addresses, but the memory of course had to be fixed (pagefixed) during the operation.

I think something missing from this, is that people wouldn't just stop doing things. People will still want to travel, and have air conditioning, so large incentives will exist to develop technologies that make this possible without the emissions. The greener alternatives will be relatively less expensive when the externalities of fossil fuels are priced in.
Saying people should avoid living in pleasant environments so conserve resources is nearly identical to saying people should avoid traveling to pleasant environments to convert resources. What point are you trying to make?

What I'd like is a feature that requires kids to completely finish watching a selected video once before another will start. On Plex or YT.

Maybe I'm just "old", but something feels very unhealthy about enabling kids' propensity to flip between shows as soon as one gets the slightest bit slow. Or make them get up and walk over to the TV to switch channels :).

The good news is people are trying to address this. Starting in the UK there is a movement for Research Software Engineering https://rse.ac.uk/ and happening right now is the German RSE conference https://www.de-rse.org/en/conf2019/
> We know exactly what happened

We don’t know exactly. We don’t, specifically because of the erasure that you mentioned.

We argue with each other over the details of how people were killed and how bodies were disposed of. We’ll question the reliability of UK cable sources. In our never-ending quest for truth we’ll point out that the propaganda was likely coming from both sides.

That’s the point of it, eh? Ensure that the perpetrators, the dead, and those who fear for the lives of their families are mute. Let those who care do the work of ruining any truthful narrative. Present a very consistent narrative of your own.

They don't require active stabilization by software, which is the issue here. Specifically, does the plane become unfly-able if your computer crashes.

It is fine if a fighter jet crashes when the electronics fail. Much less so for a passenger yet.
TSA officers may not be offered hygrometers, but I doubt if there is anything explicitly preventing them from carrying their own hygrometer - actively preventing officers from carrying dosimeters seems more likely to be tied to prevent any long term lawsuits. We get bombarded by all sorts of radiation throughout the day, describing a malignant skin mole to a back-scatter vs. the sun isn't something you could do without evidence. The collection of such evidence is specifically being prevented.

So I'd assume this is more like coal miner operators in the 1800s planning ahead to protect themselves from the eventual outbreak of black lung.

I’m wondering what this could mean for replacing React Native. Obviously SwiftUI is geared for Apple’s platforms but overall it seems pretty high level and perhaps amenable to being adapted to Android by somebody. Swift is open source after all.

This would solve a problem a lot of devs have in deciding how to build a cross platform app. We don’t want to give up first class support for each platform but it’s silly to have completely separate codebases.

I hear even Apple has React Native dev groups.

I'm surprised no one has asked this, but why don't you just go and work for a startup (or small company)? You mention that you are well positioned for a role where you have many different responsibilities.

Another option is that you can start your own (you mention this too). It doesn't have to be solo. From the experience you describe, it seems like you could partner with a technical cofounder and really compliment their skills. There's a lot to gain from experience like that and it can open the door to a lot of opportunities in the future that you don't know about right now.

You haven't made a mistake. You can provide a lot of value to an organization. You just have to find the right opportunity where you can do so.
Ahh. You are right. I misread the (3)[....] notation. Its not reset but just different representation.

> Who even bought this stuff?

A buddy of mine from my home town called me up and needed a developer to work on his "crypto-currency hedge fund." This guy has always been a bit dodgy on looking for the least amount of resistance to the most money.

I tried tell tell him all the reasons it was a bad idea. He claims he had done all the research (guy is not a programmer, couldn't pass Anatomy I the two times he took it in an attempt to start his career as a radiologist .. for the money -- sure as hell couldn't do the maths).

He told me investments would be a minimum of $250k and he was promising (yes promising) 120% returns. ... I told him he needed to be careful, because with that type of pitch, he would most likely end up in a ditch somewhere two to to the head .. or jail .. and he should hope for jail.

Besides telling him it was a bad idea, I told him he couldn't afford me. He told me he'd pay more than whatever I was making. I told him what I made .. and that I wouldn't take anything in crypto currency. That ended that.

He had several tens of thousands in different crypto currencies (before the BTC bubble broke in 2018). So in response to your question: this kind of person.

Speaker here. If you liked the talk, you may also like the other talk I've given on generating fractals with SQL[0]. You can also find it blog post form[1].

Originally, before I had given the fractal talk, I had wanted to make a compiler from a low level imperative programming language to SQL. I had done a similar thing in the past to write FizzBuzz in the esoteric programming language Fractran[2]. By doing that, you can fairly easily produce SQL queries that perform arbitrary computations. When I was brainstorming what examples to give, I thought it would be really cool to generate fractals. After thinking for a bit, I realized it would be easier to write the SQL queries directly than it would be to write a compiler to SQL. That's how the fractal talk came about.

After I gave that talk, I revisited the idea of compiling to SQL. After playing around with for a bit, I discovered it wouldn't be too hard to write a programming language interpreter in SQL which is how this talk came about.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

A lot of people think it, but if you're thinking it the last thing you want to do is publicize that and invite people (particularly the SEC) to ask "Why don't you want the SEC to sue you?"

A number of smaller ICOs just settled with the SEC and refunded the money to investors when they got a Wells Notice. Those are all the folks who said "Oh man I don't want the SEC to sue me, I'm gonna get creamed in court." Kik is different in that they have deep pockets, strong legal counsel, and a product that's been out there for 8 years.

> The difference is probably due to different default tracking settings across the two browsers, with Safari impeding, by default, third-party tracking cookies being set on the user’s machine (the user has to explicitly allow the usage of third-party cookies)

I've been using Linux since 1996; not wet behind the ears. Graphics drivers are substantially worse on Linux than Windows, and even on Windows they're still the main source of problems.

A mix of dock and undock with multiple monitors is dodgy; like rolling a die. Plugging in the display port cable after a resume from a prior docked suspend, for a presentation, is flipping a coin.
Yep, I think that is likely. In fact it is encouraged. The codebase has instructions for running on Google Cloud via Kubernetes:

https://github.com/axiom-org/axiom/tree/master/testnet

Being decentralized means that the same backend logic can run on any cloud provider, or on a simple server connecting to the internet. But it's okay if in practice many of the hosting providers are running on top of cloud providers.
Food, and its production and consumption, is definitely the underpinning of many cultural traditions. Today, many people have the opportunity to choose how bound they are to such traditions.

Some people prefer to do their own cooking, at home, for themselves. Others prefer to have every meal prepared by a professional in a restaurant. Still others prefer to have most meals delivered. Some like to mix and match as is convenient.

Unbound from tradition, people can make their own choices, and decide for themselves how much they value traditional romantic attachments to home cooking, participation, and interaction in their food experiences.
Conway's Law and Microservices
Are there conditions in which a Bayesian reasoner is obliged to make racist decisions? Say you're a Bayesian infant who has never met anyone but Mom, who has blue skin, and has always been very nice to you. You then meet 100 other people of various colors, 97 of who are also nice to you. The other 3 people were mean to you, and they all have purple skin, and only they have purple skin.

Person 101 approaches you, and they have purple skin. As a Bayesian baby you start to cry, anticipating meanness.

According to the idea that discrimination by immutable characteristics is bad, and that we should judge people as individuals, this Bayesian choice to cry is a symptom of a racist mindset. Isn't it?

In what circumstances should Bayesian priors _not_ be used for decision making, in deference to wider principles of justice?
I could travel a lot and not get into the carbon footprint of your average 10K+-a-year commuter. So people who think those are desirable places to live should actually pay for what they consume, instead of freeloading--both economically and ecologically--off of those who do.
Sadly, a lot of people say we shouldn't have kids because it's bad for the Earth. Which ties to poor arguments about "overpopulation".

Actually I think a watchdog timer doesn't watch anything except it's timer.

> A watchdog timer is an electronic timer that is used to detect and recover from computer malfunctions. During normal operation, the computer regularly resets the watchdog timer to prevent it from elapsing, or "timing out".

It doesn't care about the state of anything except it's timer, and the only way to prevent it from activating is to reset the timer or disable the watchdog altogether.

That would still make sense in terms of auto-roll backs. You can't trust the state as a miss-configuration makes it unreliable.

The only difference I see from "auto-rollbacks" and "watchdog timers" is that watchdog timers are usually meant to be permanent, while auto-rollbacks are temporary (once you confirm it the auto-rollback never occurs again).

MCAS provides for the certification requirement of continually increasing stick forces with increasing pitch, which was otherwise not met at high angles of attack and high thrust settings.

MCAS (or another means to accomplish the same goal) was required for the aircraft to meet certification requirements, regardless of whether it was to share a common type rating with the rest of the 737 fleet (so long as it shared the landing gear with the rest of the 73' line, it was going to have this adverse aerodynamic raw result).

I suspect we're just training people to click the Whatever button. As that's most “normal” people's response (I am not normal), the courts will eventually rule that a first-use roadblock doesn't produce informed consent, so doesn't excuse you under the GDPR. Hopefully, then, websites will stop performing a superficial impression of caring about privacy.

(Explicit informed consent is the GDPR's last-resort excuse, which you only need if your use of personal data falls outside all of the GDPR's automatically-acceptable justifications for using and storing personal data.)

Forgive me but as someone who has a fridge, microwave, stove and oven, delivery does not appeal to me.

There is a whole frozen pizza in the store that sells for 3 dollars, and a slice of pizza from the 7-11 that goes for 2 dollars. Pizza delivery is the one food where delivery has matured, and even today it's a very limited buy.

When do people do it?

Parties -> Almost any demographic

Workload is too high to go out -> Students and younger adults

Going outside is extremely uncomfortable and/or dangerous -> Primarily older

Unmotivated and lazy -> A small fraction of any demographic

The thing that can finally drop prices as we know it is the quadricopter. A self navigating delivery channel has at least reasonable chance to bring the price well into tolerable levels for most americans.
Indeed, buying a new electric cars like our grandfathers bought their Fords would be totally counterproductive. But I do not think we have to stop using cars to be quite sustainable - we just have to stop thinking there are only Teslas with their big battery and that everyone needs 500km of nonstop range. Speaking for my family: we currently still feel we need a 7-seat family car with a lot of range, but our second car will be replaced by an electric car with a small battery for sure, as we counted that on about 95% of the days, a 100km range will totally do. Smaller batteries make elektric cars a much more ecologic choice. And we as a society also have to stop thinking that cars have to be the big monsters they have become. We need new offerings, such as the Microlino or the Renault Twizzy.

'Hot Take' on the New Mac Pros
What you seem to be missing is the average person does not call them "Arabic numerals." Additionally, it's 100% valid to call numbers written in Arabic characters "Arabic numerals." We can't draw any conclusion from this survey, but despite this, the author decides to make all sorts of inferences. Because this survey appears to be entirely useless on the face of it, I think it was designed especially for some sort of confirmation-bias rather than testing an actual hypothesis.

Show me the corresponding survey for "Japanese Numerals" and then we can have an actual discussion. While you're at it, show me the survey for non-Americans asked the same question.
We should actually solve the problem collectively. The externalities should be priced into the cost of fossil fuels with taxation, and alternative technologies researched (which would likely be done by the private sector, facing a carbon tax).

Individualistic solutions to climate change are unfair, dilute, and primitivist.
