> But my polygraph took a couple hours and after a while in that room, being asked the same questions over and over, I honestly started to wonder if I was, somehow, a terrorist and they knew it but I didn't.

That's essentially the purpose of polygraph "testing". Its reliability as a test is no better than coin flipping, the only reason it is used is to create pressure and thereby lead to confessions.
Then just stick to ffmpeg, libav, gstreamer or whatever such a library.
Well, I did write quite a bit of CL code for money, but it's hard to get paid for reimplementing every library that one may need in CL ;(
> Well, they tried that, and then we got all of this revolving door nonsense where, to use an example closer to home here, former Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai is now running the FCC as a wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications.

That's not true at all. He worked at Verizon for 2 years (2001-2003). Almost all of the other 20 years of his career have been at various government agencies. He was nominated for an FCC position by president Obama and confirmed unanimously by the senate. People hate him because he was nominated to chairman by Trump and because of his position on net neutrality.

I know I'll get a lot of flak for this, but honestly net neutrality had no noticeable impact on consumers. Prices haven't gone up. ISPs haven't clamped down on what sites you can visit. This outcome was obvious before the law changed. Internet services improved before net neutrality and plenty of other countries with better service don't have net neutrality.

People seem to think Pai wants to deregulate everything, but that notion is quashed if you actually look at what he's done and said. For example: he has argued in favor of a cap on the rates of long distance phone calls from prisons. From a 2003 memo[1]:

> I believe that the government should usually stay its hand in economic matters and allow the price of goods and services to respond to consumer choice and competition. But sometimes the market fails, and government intervention carefully tailored to address that market failure is appropriate.

> The provision of inmate calling services (ICS) is one such market. Inmates cannot choose their carrier, and carriers do not compete with each other for an inmate’s calls.

Those do not sound like the words of someone who is in the pocket of giant phone companies.

Pai has also threatened to legislate that phone companies switch to a secure caller ID protocol if one isn't adopted by the end of the year.[2] This would make most robocalls easy to block. The problem is that different phone companies have trouble coordinating, as nobody benefits until they all adopt the new protocol. A government mandating adoption of a new technology is a way to solve that coordination problem.

Career bureaucrats are many things, but they aren't what the media portrays Ajit Pai as.

'Where was the Lord?': Slave testimonies
> Any way you slice it, the quality of jobs today is tremendously higher than in the past, and people are not being paid less.

Really? What about 40 years ago? Jobs were a lot easier, and you could buy a house and raise a family on one income. Why do you ignore that period of time, when workers had it good?
Maybe I'm only familiar with "the main one" and mono... Are there other .NET VMs?

If I recall correctly, it will do constant folding, but won't speculate that a certain parameter is always essentially constant at runtime, but wasn't at compile time.

An easy example is a config loaded from a file as the server boots but never changes for the lifetime of the process. That won't constant fold without speculation.
I heard a great quip about PCs -- their transformative power wasn't in accelerating operations that were already being run on mainframes, but allowing calculations to be automated that had never been before.

This feels a lot like that. It's easy to forget the pent up demand "if the price were X lower."
When writing, I think music can create a mood mismatch. When coding, momentum is more important than mood.

That's my guess anyway. I found the same thing as you, and came up with that theory many moons back when I was listening to a speed metal song on headphones while watching a street performance, and noted how silly the music made it seem. They were moving so gently and the music really clashed with it in bizarre ways.
To my mind that isn’t a meaningful distinction. If an artist is doing no harm, and is meanwhile enthralled by his work and his individual notions of beauty or truth or excellence, then I admire his vitality. I don’t know what OP does, but I similarly appreciate his passion.

I do believe that much of the heat he’s taking is from people projecting their own insecurity and lack of fulfillment, or some other form of jealousy. I suspect that, because I used to be ashamed to feel that sickly, condescending impulse in myself, before I had found a purpose (I.e. a domain of application) for my engineering work that I believe in. I used to have the usual bifurcation of work versus life, and y’know what? Turns out it can get a lot fking better! If OP isn’t hurting anyone, more power to him.

It is completely illegal for a police officer to pretend to be an attorney; it's actually illegal for anyone to pretend to be an attorney (in the situation of a suspect asking for an attorney.) The cops can lie to you about a great many things, but they cannot lie to you about the person you are talking with being an attorney. Any judge would probably immediately declare a mistrial if they found out that had happened, and anything you said to the fake attorney would be deemed inadmissible.
And, to their credit, they don't really have time to become good statisticians. Once upon a time I had a classmate who was an experienced anesthesiologist, but when it came to probability and stats he was as much of a scrub is anyone else in the room. Why would it be any different? He's spent his life learning and applying his field of practice, not someone else's.

That said, baaic statistical analysis and statistical intuition is a severely underappreciated skill. It's hard to see it almost totally neglected in American public schools, even ones that purport to have a strong focus on STEM.

In other countries the police is tasked with doing an impartial investigation.

They not allowed to lie, or even interrupt an explanation to attempt to tweak the wording.

Using American tactics in other countries could get a police officer fired or worse.

Explaining common social phenomena with modern human genomics isn't a thing period. If you'd attempted to introduce some sociobiology talking points in a typical genomics conference you'd be laughed out of the room. (That's assuming the organizers would even consider your abstract for a talk in the first place.) No one really discusses 'nature vs nurture' anymore outside of a few circles that somehow still haven't gotten the memo. It's just not relevant anymore to modern fields.
You misinterpret. I'm not claiming that the effect of globalization is making the global poor worse off than they were before, or the first-world workers better off than they were before. I am saying the global poor are starting much worse off and, even after benefiting from globalization, remaining worse off than first-world workers.
Whenever my normally-silent macbook needs to fire on its fans (compilation, DB restores, or any mid-sized 3D render) I love the audible reminder of how unfathomably hard it's working, and (by extension) what cool stuff is going on behind the scenes.

The sad thing is that if your neighbor was burgled and the police comes knocking on your door to ask questions, you also have an interest in getting the culprit caught.

Yet, you can't trust the police to not entrap you.
> If not, then you can tell the truth and nothing but the truth, but you can't tell the whole truth in your answers.

Polygraph "examinations" aren't testimony where you are sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; nor are they actually a mechanism of "detecting lies" (a task at which they are ludicrously useless, per all research); they are psychological ordeals which are employed solely to create stress and cause people to break if they have anything to hide.
> I explained how you could handle it here without requiring BOM or byte order knowledge or heuristics:

Yes, that's an absurd amount of development effort and would result in a serious performance regression. (To the point that it's likely nobody would use ripgrep at all, so your approach would need to be put behind a flag, which seriously hinders the feature since it's no longer automatic.) Moreover, that only covers match detection, but does not actually cover output. Once you find the match, you have to determine how to print it, and the device you're printing to very likely does not support things like UTF-32 or even UTF-16 in many cases. Moreover, there are many operations that ripgrep does in a post-processing step (like limiting the output to a certain number of characters per line) that require knowing the presumed encoding (which is always UTF-8 by that point, since the data will have been transcoded to UTF-8 if UTF-16 were detected).

> UTF-16 doesn't require BOMs

You cannot decode UTF-16 without knowing its byte order. The BOM tells you that. If there is no BOM, then you need to get the byte order from some other source (or guess it). ripgrep requires the user to tell it what it is. This seems entirely reasonable to me, especially since most or all UTF-16 files I've seen include a BOM. Notably, ripgrep's support for UTF-16 is good enough for VS Code, which has a pretty sizable Windows user base.

> your view then I'm not sure how else to word it, but the wording is hardly my concern. At the end of the day I was just trying to convey a fact, not argue over its wording or semantics.

At the end of the day, my concern is to correct misleading claims about what ripgrep can and can't do. ripgrep clearly has support for UTF-16, and this is actually one of its marquee features that sets it apart from other search tools. For example, grep doesn't (and literally can't) support UTF-16 at all. The only way to search UTF-16 encoded files with grep is to transcode the file to UTF-8 first or to set the locale to C, and search for the binary encoding directly. ripgrep does a lot better than that, so to lump it in with "pretty much every text search tool" is pretty misleading from my perspective.
I hear equal amounts of Mandarin, Hindi, and Portugese around my current lab. Honestly, the people least likely to speak their native tongue are the few Germans floating around. So my personal experience is closer to yours than that expressed in the original article.
Well they were using LISP without GC because they couldn't afford stop-the-world pauses and concurrent GC didn't exist yet. If it was LISP, the several aspects of LISP they describe having trouble with are all obsolete considerations.

Sometimes what you want to generate is code that other people can build upon. For example, given a specification of some message protocol, you could generate classes that represent those messages and can do the parsing/serializing by themselves.

You could generate LLVM code that does that, but the point is integrating the generated code in a bigger project

Personally I think nostalgia is a proxy for a generalized desire for simplicity. Most people don't long for the days of swapping out 10 different floppy disks to install an operating system, or of messing around with IRQ/DMA and UART settings to get a modem configured. It's the simple things (like BASIC) that are remembered and missed.
That will never occur, fortunately. There is no end to the natural world. The natural resources that are most critical on Earth are infinite for all practical purposes in relation to human demands. This is especially true given the population growth curve for the next century.

If we somehow exhaust the mineral deposits on Earth in the next few hundred years, we can and will mine the solar system.

In the absolute worst case scenario, the rest of the natural world off of Earth is available for ruthless exploitation by our Capitalist ways for thousands and thousands of years to come. The clear bet is that it will be exploited eventually, probably by whatever we replace ourselves with.

Biology has "ResearchGate" which, ironically, is a bit like facebook and is somewhat proprietary. It is, however, incredibly useful for solving common lab problems like "I stuck all my histo slides together, how do I dissolve the mounting media?".

You can't grandfather in code under a different license. The recommendation when GPLv2 was published was to include the "or any future version" to allow relicensing within the same series of licenses. A lot of people didnt do that, some for lack of understanding and some fully aware.
No because no serious company uses GPL v3 software. (For example Apple avoids it, etc.)
The user is probably a transmission level grid operator. These exist at most decent sized utilities (Entergy, AEP, Duke), although it is possible there is a TOP (transmission operator company) that is not the same as the utility.

There are also organizations like the RTO/ISO that also act like air traffic controllers for the grid by keeping it reliable. They also are usually responsible for committing and dispatching generation for dozens of utilities collectively to save money (by banding together, you need to carry less reserves or backup power and can leverage economies of scale). In North America these organizations are (CAISO, SPP, ERCOT, MISO, PJM, NYISO, and ISO-NE). All of these organizations practice black-start drills (I used to help run them) and have NERC certified operators.

The problem is as old as permafrost itself: I remember reading as a child about problems with permafrost stability (or rather lack thereof) when they were building БАМ (Baikal-Amur Mainline). They'd lay tracks only to watch them be torn by permafrost movement a year or two (or sometimes a month) later. Somehow they did figure out how to make things stable enough for the railway to be operational. It is currently being upgraded to double the capacity.

Even the major driver behind the mine ban treaty Frank O'Dea notes that the only reason the US didn't sign the treaty is no exception was made for the Korean DMZ. He gives significant credit to the United States for making the ban possible in the first place.

They demonstrated owning an Android device. The page says iPhones since iPhone 4 use the Broadcom WiFi SoC but otherwise makes no mention of whether the exploit works on iPhone.

Most mobile phones allow the baseband to have full access to the entire device, which is why an exploit of the baseband can turn into a full device compromise, but AIUI iPhones don't do this and keep the baseband as a separate unprivileged component, specifically to defend against this attack vector. So a baseband compromise might get you access to any data going over the baseband (e.g. phone calls, unencrypted data traffic, etc) but shouldn't get you access to the rest of the device.

This article disagrees with you:

https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/25/taiwan-can-win-a-war-wi...

> Both Westerners and Taiwanese should be more optimistic about the defense of Taiwan than is now normal.

> Yes, the Taiwanese Army projects that it can only hold off its enemy for two weeks after the landing—but the PLA also believes that if it cannot defeat the Taiwanese forces in under two weeks, it will lose the war!
> all ray computations are independent (i.e cores)

Which makes it ill-suited to GPUs since they want sibling threads to take the same execution path on cache coherent data. Better than a quad core CPU sure but a very small fraction of the performance they're otherwise capable of.

You can see this with the DXR performance on Pascal vs. Turing.
Is this as easy to do as it sounds? Any chance you have documented any curves along the way?

> we've seen more fragmentation in the last 5-6 years due to the brief introduction of Mantle

I thought Mantle was what became Vulkan?

> Consoles have always used propiertary APIs

I certainly don't expect console manufacturers to adopt Metal, but at least there's the possibility of (eventual) unification with Vulkan.

> OpenGL ... support from various vendors wasn't always good and official Microsoft support lapsed

And Windows was the main PC gaming platform, so developers used DirectX instead of OpenGL as a result.

On OSX, Metal became a thing; as a result, last time I checked OpenGL was stuck back at version 4.1 (that's > 5 years behind everyone else).

I don't see Android, iOS, or Linux adopting DirectX. I don't see Windows or Android adopting Metal. If you're hoping for unification, Vulkan seems like quite literally the only possibility. Add to that Vulkan support from a variety of hardware vendors other than AMD and Nvidia as well as officially planned Vulkan-OpenCL interop and I'm actually somewhat optimistic about things.

It used to be required that PhD students (even in the sciences, and in the US) had to demonstrate written understanding of at least one foreign language. When I got my doctorate in microbiology in the 1990s that rule was still officially on the books, but not enforced. But certainly before WWII and even into the 1960s there was a lot of research being published in Russian, French and German besides English. Even today, China still publishes many Chinese-language journals which go mostly untranslated.
