This is basically the 'ticking bomb' scenario isn’t it. If the question was to keep torturing until “was Mr Bloggs a part of the meeting” is a yes then that is pretty much not valid as the subject will likely say anything to stop it. To find the location of bomb going off in 30 minutes is a very different matter as it’s a clear true or false question with a very direct answer.
Ok, but in a multi-user system (e.g. a webserver), if user 1 triggers a (de-)optimization, then user 2 can tell that a previous user was in that code path. Now I don't know how to extract useful information from that fact, but it shows that at least some information spills over the user boundaries.

Yes. It's a way to drop in on today's time of day within the mission. During the actual anniversary in July, it will drop you in 50 years earlier to-the-second.
I would expect the demand for energy to be more insatiable than any other commodity because all commodities require energy to create. The only two end-user forms of energy readily available are electricity and fossil fuels.

I imagine that electricity consumption will rise with supply in the same way any life multiplies up to the capacity of its food source.
The irony though is that the rainforest is actually one of the least biodiverse parts of the world for that particular purpose. Sure, the rainforest is biodiverse for megafauna and, to a lesser degree, megaflora, but if you really want to mine biodiversity for biochemicals, you ought to care about bacteria and fungi, which reproduce and gene-share like crazy. The best places for that are places which drive resource competition and don't have jerk megaflora fumigating the area with simple terpenes -- the desert. However, the desert is less photographically charismatic (in terms of showing 'life') and probably also researchers would rather ask for grants to visit the rainforest or go scuba diving, so that biases the public's perception of where biodiversity exists.

I don't think that's the point the comment I'm replying to is making, or at least, it's not the point I'm asking about.

Edit: Your example in the other comment about the locks is the sort of thing I'm asking about. There, an optimization is made which is sound under some specific conditions and then unmade when those conditions change.

It is not as simple as just replacing pixels with rems. Do you test your markup with different root font sizes? Do you add special rules for cases when the font size is too small or too large? Unlikely. Then you better not pretend that you support scaling the fonts using browser settings.

Also, I think that changing font size in browser settings doesn't work on most sites, so people don't use it. For example, I use normal scaling (using Ctrl + +) on this site and it works good enough, and what's most important, it works everywhere. So there is no need to support changing root font size.
Yes and no. You can find the Apollo17.org source code that this site has extended, here https://github.com/bfeist/Apollo17. That said, the media elements and photography and some of the other material isn't on github (too big).

It's not clear who would have the majority if functional constituencies were eliminated. The pro-Beijing camp got a higher proportion of the popular vote than the anti-Beijing camp in the last Legislative Council election.

Yes, democracy is limited in Hong Kong. The city has never been ruled democratically. The issue now is that Beijing will not take the risk of allowing separatists to take power.

As for the Chief Executive's actions, it's not entirely clear to what extent she's responding to popular pressure, business groups in Hong Kong that want stability, or the central government.
Don't forget:

Epistemologically speaking, it may be the 'clinical setting' itself that is disrupting or obscuring the effect.
How does choosing one compiler over another "eliminate use of vendor extensions and UB"? Whatever compiler is chosen you'll have as much UB and as many extensions to deal with, as if the other one had been chosen.

Still higher than if I had invested in an index fund gaining 8% per year for the past decade.
The grade of plutonium is determined by the isotopic composition of the plutonium itself, not the short-lived fission products found around it in spent fuel. Weapons grade plutonium contains a high fraction of Pu-239 and a low fraction of Pu-240. The plutonium in spent fuel from commercial power reactors contains much more Pu-240 than weapons grade plutonium does.

Since Pu-240 has a shorter half life than Pu-239, it is technically true that the isotopic composition in spent fuel becomes more weapon-like as the fuel ages. But it is very slow because Pu-240 still has a half life in excess of 6500 years. It would take more than 13000 years for the decay of Pu-241 to improve the isotopic profile of today's power reactor plutonium to something near "weapons grade."
[not a doctor] ADHD is frequently comorbid with other issues such as generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder. Some ADHD medications can make these other issues worse, especially GAD. A doctor might need the full picture of behavioral patterns to make sure they’re on the right medication.
No, the attorneys I've talked to or seen discuss this directly cover that, and I'm afraid the mistake here is yours. What you've pointed out is that of course the odds of any random person ending in trouble are low. However, we're talking about a situation where (1) the police have already taken notice of you, personally, which significantly shifts the risk up and (2) the potential outcomes are wildly different. So you must weight even a smaller risk. On the one side, someone who, on their own, "convinces the cops of their innocence" gets to just go home a few hours earlier and possibly save a bit of money. But the person who fails faces enormous negative consequences, huge amounts of money, prison time, a felony conviction will have permanent consequences for the rest of their life, etc. Furthermore, they are at a radical information disadvantage. They not merely face huge risks, they don't even have any real way to know what those risks are in their specific case, and on top of that they're unlikely to be in a good mental state to dispassionately consider even what little they do know!

Consider an exact equivalent of what you just said: "A person who didn't wear a seatbelt and succeeded in making it to their destination safely would not have a need for a doctor" so therefore doctors saying they've had hundreds/thousands of cases where they wished their patient had worn a seatbelt is confirmation bias. But on the one hand is a certain amount of extra inconvenience and some money that has to be spent (in mandating it by law we're forcing people to spend it, but that was a debate), whereas on the other is horrific injuries and possibly death. Even if the latter risk is small, because the outcome is so significant it's worth weighting higher. And drivers are often at the highest risk when they're sleepy, or distracted or otherwise mentally disturbed which in turn is the exact worst time to be making judgements. So it's best to just have it be habit to do without thought, each and every time (and a requirement on top to help form that habit).

Similarly the you, and me, and everyone else in this thread sitting comfortably on a Sunday afternoon discussing on HN are mostly not going to be in the same mindset we would be after having been taken in for questioning. You cannot count on yourself. You will be facing unknown unknowns. And the risks of screwing up are huge. Your opponents are experienced, and have vast resources they will draw on unhesitatingly. That's why the advice is always simple: just do not try to outthink this, unless perhaps you know for sure you're willing to have your reputation destroyed and go to prison for it (and few actually have any real inkling what that is like or means) and it seems to be a genuine emergency (because otherwise it will not hurt to give it a day).
I always hated this. It's been historically hard to get easy access to lyrics of songs you've bought! It always made no sense to me that you couldn't publish lyrics of songs.
Oh I see what you mean - Spectre-like rather than specifically Spectre. Yes I suppose specialisation (more generally than speculation) could leak information, in the same way as cache status can leak information.
S3 is a protocol with a myriad of compatible providers. I wish the mailer was SMTP instead of an API. I don’t fully understand the issue with Docker; it’s widely accepted for software distribution and has a multitude of alternative runtimes that require very little config modification.
Also, yellow vests protests at the top were less than 200k people, in a country of tens of millions.

The only reason they made the news is because protests were violent.
The page you've cited here appears to claim the opposite of what you're claiming, itself citing multiple cases in which the Supreme Court found factually untrue statements firmly inside the scope of protected speech. The counterexamples you're providing are motivated untrue assertions in which speech is part of a broader pattern of action (in these cases, to unjustly enrich the speaker; in others, to unjustly damage someone disfavored by the speaker).

Not that I disagree at all with what you're saying about defamation! But the idea that lies are unprotected speech seems like a very dangerous slippery slope. Like, Singapore would claim to support "free speech" with that (gigantic) exception.

I live on the other side of the world, but this still strikes a deep chord with me.

I'm Swedish, born and raised in Gothenburg. After the Umbrella protests in 2014 five people connected to the Causeway Bay Books store in Hong Kong disappeared. One of them is a naturalized Swedish citizen, his daughter was raised in my home town. He is now imprisoned and can't communicate with his daughter, or with the Swedish authorities. Angela Gui, his daughter, is continuing on the struggle for his release to the extent she can, being only 21 when her father disappeared.

All these arguments about "leave China be" or "this isn't the West's problem" just don't make any sense to me. This is a small world, whether we like it or not, and letting authoritarian stuff like this extradition treaty to a dictatorship slide is condoning it and before you know it your citizenship, constitutional rights and passport which you thought would keep you safe doesn't work anymore and you get snatched from a street for something you've said. Your family can only cry themselves to sleep over it from the feeling of powerlessness.

We don't have to go into hypotheticals about what will happen if China gets more power to persecute people of Hong Kong. In Sweden, we already know what they've done with the limited power they hold now.

Both GHC and ocaml have a pretty good claim at being among the most influential compilers of their generation.

If you look at Java for instance, generics were made by one of the Haskell creators, and it has been implementing functional features for years now.
One of the big things that comes to my mind is that kids who grow up in cities are literally, tangibly cut off from wild natural environments. They often end up not even knowing how to recognize practically any species of plants and animals. So how can you really value a diversity you've barely ever encountered in your own life?

A zsh prompt framework written in Nim
Here was one example I encountered a while back: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/952914/how-to-make-a-fla...

In Python, it's `import itertools` and `list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(list2d))` or `[item for sublist in list2d for item in sublist]`. In Scala, it is `list2d.flatten`.

In fact, Python is against making a richer stdlib in general.

"It has been discussed ad nauseam on comp.lang.python. People seem to enjoy writing their own versions of flatten more than finding legitimate use cases that don't already have trivial solutions." from https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2542...

And, intuitively, when you don't want to provide a helper function, the user code gets longer.

Not that this is better or worse. It's just that, specifically, on the brevity aspect, Python code would generally becomes longer. Because, as you see in the quote, "People seem to enjoy writing their own versions of flatten".
Hah, they already are destabilized. Look at all the cuts in government services and increase in taxes.
I don’t know which position you interviewed for, but my guess is one involving javascript, as it’s, I believe, the only one where we ask to use a library.

If that’s the case, the “obscure” library is immutable.js [0], one with mere 27k+ stars on github.

I do apologize that we didn’t outright said that we are not a good fit. Would be curious to learn what do you think we should’ve done.

It’s completely fine not to be interested/willing to take a coding challenge, just don’t know what was your expectation after you decided not to proceed with the assignment.

Yes, but a typical change request would be something like "make this menu font size larger", and in this case having menu independent from other parts of the page is better. Also, if you build a framework with variables, dependence on root font size, it would be complicated and most devs won't like to spend time learning it and thinking how to solve their task within it. Simple is better here.
Thanks so much. It's been suggested to me countless times that I put promotions on the site or (gasp) enable monetization on the YouTube video portion of the site. Nope. Like you, I dream of the Internet being a better place--the place it was in 1997 but with modern technology.
There is a fair amount of press in the UK at the moment related to a Westminster VIP paedophile ring where it looks like the "victim", a Carl Beech, may have been making it up.

This would be a good argument if we already had industrial scale molten salt reactors just waiting to burn up spent fuel from light water reactors. But we don't, so anyone wishing to burn up spent fuel this way has to pay additional costs for researching and constructing the new reactors.
We’re used to Beijing thinking for the long term. When they rotated leaders, this was largely true. With Xi as leader for life, however, the short-term decision making and incompetent bureaucracies that characterises dictatorships are beginning to emerge.

Hong Kong shouldn’t have been a problem. Most Hong Kongers, until recently, identified as Chinese moreso than Hong Konger. The transition in 2047 would have been uneventful.

Now, Hong Kong pissed off. Taiwan has seen the writing on the wall. China’s multi-decade integration strategy must be rethought because Xi didn’t think he could survive Hong Kongers criticising his leadership (including its corruption).
I put it in a bit more detail in a sibling comment but to me, there's no 'guessing about soundness and being wrong' in that particular scenario.

Oligopoly is nearly as bad as Monopoly.

Τechnically once the big4 (plus a couple more) own the 99% of the traffic then we will have monopolies on each areas. Google on Search, Amazon on Shopping, Facebook on Socials, Apple on Phones.

And on the outer circle a parasitic ad/tracking ecosystem working with these 4 monopolies. I am not a pescimist, but as nightmare scenarios go, I take it that this is a plausible one.
What matters is not what they say government should do, but how much weight they put on that when it comes time to vote.

Shallow expressions of preference aren't worth much.

Also, if you add up all the "goverment should do X" recommendations from polls, the results are inconsistent with what people say they want to pay in taxes. Polls that ask comparisons (should $ be spent on X or Y? Would you supprt spending $N on X if it meant raising taxes by $N?) are more informative.

One example over the years was support for NASA. Asked "should the government spend money on NASA", most showed some support. But in comparisons with literally anything else, including crop subsidies and military spending, NASA comes out the loser.
An accusation of pedophilia is unprotected because accusations of crime are considered, at law, to be intrinsically damaging. Racism (and, to some extent, racial profiling) is not against the law: I believe it's perfectly legal to stop only black shoppers for shoplifting, for instance (so long as they're actually shoplifting), even though 60+% of shoplifters in Oberlin appear not to be black.

Here, I wonder whether it's not the speech that got the university in trouble so much as the concerted and diligent effort to harm Gibson's business through multiple means.
This is not Evidence-based Medicine. EBM does not say to we shouldn't care about the mechanism of action. EBM will say that treatments without a randomized control trial can only be weakly recommended. In a perfect EBM world, everything would be strictly tested. You're describing why we have trouble practicing "pure" EBM.
According to the news, it’s unlikely that any progress on the bill will be made until next year, based on this protest. It is not just suspended, they also canceled further open discussions about it.

I'm quite interested to hear if these attacks involve exploiting side channel leaks against the Secure Enclave, as Apple has supposedly hardened the Secure Enclave against side channel leaks.

I'm sure a technical deep dive on these vulnerabilities would be an exciting read.
Who knows what things will be like then? China could be a democracy or something else.
I can't speak to this from personal experience, but I constantly hear the accusation that any sort of solid study on say herbals is going to cost millions of dollars, and that no big-pharma company would even bother to sponsor such a study because they can't patent the result (because it's an herb).
FWIW I was super lucky to grow up on an abandoned farm with a huge patch of woods, streams, and swamps. It was sad to eventually figure out that there was just no way to make that experience scale to the whole US population (even if they wanted it too). Of course it was also lonely sometimes and required quite a bit of driving, so I'm not going to defend it as an ecological or social utopia.

Nevertheless, I think it was really good to be around so many plants and animals as a kid.
Security context is not passed with Windows massage passing. Message passing is mainly for UI and requires all of the performance it can get. Checking access for every single message is too expensive. Just like TCP connection doesn't carry security context, you don't know what privilege the caller has.

Named pipe carries security context. That's why newer Windows requires background services to close off all outside contacts except named pipe, so the service can control the access level.
> Remember Hong Kong is on a 50 year countdown anyway so there’s always an inevitable end coming.

I used to think that and it is logical

But the basic law does not have an expiration date, only HK’s geographical status does

So it theoretically can still exist under a separate legal system , the point is that there are possibilities

What is the relationship between Spot III the beagle and Spot IV the beagle?

There isn't one; they're named in parallel.
Serial's third season podcast series covered this a bit, since the 1980's or so in the USA, we've decreased funding for the judicial system, and not increased prosecutors funding and staff to commensurate with increased crimes due to larger population (if crime rate stayed the same or even decreased.) This puts a lot of pressure on prosecutors to get plea bargains, the logical gaming of the system by prosecutors is to layer on as many of the hardest charges possible, then offer a plea bargain that has a fraction of the penalty of the initial charges. We do not have enough courthouses to actually let every defendent get judged by a jury of their peers. Even if one is innocent, rational people will choose to plea guilty given that prosecutors have something like a 95% conviction rate in the USA and all the resources of their local/state/federal government behind the prosecution.
Someone facetiously but based on my viewing of The Wire and The Shield, large city police departments are judged on finding someone to charge with reported crimes and having a lot of open unsolved crimes is seen as a terrible statistic, there's no extra reward in finding the actual person who did each crime so some might find a perverse incentive to clear crimes no matter what.
I work as a middleware support engineer. I work on tickets from people with all kinds of environments, so I frequently have to install different databases, message brokers, etc.

Using Docker for this is flat out brilliant. It makes setting up software much, much easier.
