Remember that as a reviewer, you always have an advantage over the coder: as the coder, you need to crack the problem and find an algorithmic solution. It's easy to have a couple of false starts with this. These do stick around through iterations and changes. Eventually, you submit something that works, but you're overlooking that the code could probably be less convoluted in places, because you know the solution and it is perfectly reasonable.

The reviewer who gets to read the code gets to walk the shortcut to the solution after the trail was blazed for them: they get to think purely about the working solution without the intermediate steps. And they naturally will find places where the original developer was thinking in terms of his failed earlier attempts.

I bet that if I gave you a non-trivial problem to solve in a reasonable amount of time I could do the same kind of review on your code, forcing you to shorten it. And I will find something. Guaranteed. That is just how these iterations work.
>This assertion is completely unsupported, and as it turns out wrong

The link has nothing to do with proving the claim wrong. Not to mention the research itself is totally bogus, as it hints at at the end:

"Overall, regardless of how middle class fortunes are analyzed, the material standard of living in the U.S. is estimated to be better than in most Western European countries examined. But to the extent that governments in Western Europe are more likely to provide services to households that may not be captured in household income, such as the National Health Service in the UK, it is possible that differences in the quality of life between the U.S. and Western Europe are narrower."

Not only they are narrower, but the low wage life in the US is nothing like much lower wage life in Europe. I've been to both European countries (where I live) and poor US states (e.g. Alabama, Mississippi, South Dakota, and so on) and the former is more like third world conditions...

>I'm fine with this, but it is a bit annoying to see a developer not deal with 64-bit builds.

The developers have often just moved on. And when these games were made, 64bit didn't even exist or it wasn't worth considering. Deadline constraints and such mean corners are cut, and portability across architectures often isn't considered a priority.
Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and governments are asking for a way to combat real cryptocurrencies from taking over. Because Bitcoin and Ethereum are making major pushes to increase scalability. The payment processors can't profit from real cryptocurrency and governments can't control it.

They are mainly trying to catch up with WeChat Pay etc. But they figured it would be good to pretend it is a cryptocurrency because that makes it seem like an alternative to real cryptocurrency which it is not.
Still ways ahead of the US in all of those areas (European here, so not an American with an "idealized view of them").
I thought that was only for the Tesla cable (or the Tesla to J1772 adapter), but not the J1772 cable itself.

Really enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing.

I think the parents critism was more that the article was a little light compared to thr video. For example, you didn't have screenshots of the scanned pdfs in the article.
I'm fairly certain that's the case in most of the US. I know when I worked retail (over a decade ago) we were specifically instructed that if someone didn't stop to do nothing. The worst case was to follow them and get a license plate number.
While this may be a serious problem it doesn't actually seem relevant to this breach - if a CRA has an incident of this severity, most ID schemes are still going to end up with a pretty large leak of PII that can be traced back to the individuals involved.
The “crypto system” is just an algorithm. It can be changed to anything. It is merely a convention that all participants follow the same algorithm. If this thing ever takes off you can safely assume that it will be regulated the way all other financial transactions are and the algorithm will include some nice reversal features & co.

CRAs could insist on positive verification of identity before they tell anyone about my credit history. If they did, they’d fix the problem. Because they don’t, they assis in abuses. Why would I not consider them to share the blame?
I have several "median US household" friends who nearly got homeless after a health incident which would be irrelevant to treat in France (one got hit by a bullet by a gang while mowing his lawn in some BS initiation thing and had to spent a month or so in the hospital, the other got a mild treatable cancer), and that's with 2 people working relatively cushy jobs...

> the semantic distinction people try to draw between "real" autopilot and Tesla's autopilot capabilities have never made sense to me.

Typical airliner autopilot flies along a list of 3D waypoints and manages airspeed to avoid falling from the sky or overstressing the airframe. It's a fairly trivial system since it does not have to find its way around a complex, constantly changing environment like a car does. It will happily fly into mountains, other airplanes or dangerous environments like thunderstorms.

All decision-making depends on pilots. Autopilot itself is nothing more than a simple cruise control that relieves pilots from things like manually maintaining constant altitude over six hours on a transatlantic flight. Any hobbist with a Raspberry PI can built a similar GPS-based waypoint following and speed scheduling for a car, but it's useless for road traffic, because roads are not straight, long empty stretches that can be navigated by driving from one waypoint directly to another waypoint 100 miles away.

Car autopilot must be able to make decisions (follow the road, react to obstacles) to be useful, and that makes it fundamentally more complex than any existing airliner autopilot.
I had some kid stop me, after I'd checked out at a Target. He wanted to see my receipt and I asked him why. He couldn't really provide an answer without accusing me of being a thief. I not-so-politely asked him if he was accusing me of something and let him know that of he wasn't, he needed to walk away. My wife was angry, embarrassed and proud. Our daughter was barely a year old, so she won't remember but this is how we'll teach her to always handle situations like this. Don't let people treat you like a criminal.
Maybe but I think 90% of the work is wrangling the data and understanding the problem, it wouldn't be that hard to substitute gradient boosting for the NN
That’s true, they were exonerated in 2002. Trump then withdrew his advocacy for their execution in... well, I can’t answer that without crystal ball.
You should.be able to enforce it with the memory ordering supported since either C++11 or 14 (can’t recall which). It wouldn’t be quite as easy to write down, but might provide stronger guarantees than the volatile semantics.
Seems like I am even more out of the loop; what type of CTF is this? It appears the original article dives right into teams and rules and write ups without explaining what it is all about, which just leaves me even more confused.
The concept is really interesting, IMO.

Disclaimer: I’m own about $500K in my portfolio in Amazon.

As a shareholder - this is great. Not because I want to stifle competition but because if another company was granted the patent, Amazon would be locked out.

As a general citizen, Amazon is not the issue. To me this is not a concept that you can own a patent on. The patent system is broken. I don’t know how to fix it other than voting.
Your ecosystem argument really holds a lot of water with me. AMD said they wouldn’t be introducing a new socket type until 2021

Thank you for correcting that and the other 4 false claims I noted in that HN comment. I'm glad you are no longer deceiving people about what V can do.

By the way, shelling out to curl and mkdir also counts as dependencies.
I think the article make exactly that statement. Repeatedly. And thanks to many scifi stories (gundam) there is a common belief that spacecraft or colonies will sit nicely at these points when that simply is not true. Criticism of the article is deserved.

"The interaction of the forces creates a point of equilibrium where a spacecraft may be "parked" to make observations."

"Because of the stability of these points, dust and asteroids tend to accumulate in these regions."

"Points L4 and L5, however, are stable, "like a ball in a large bowl," according to the European Space Agency."

That last one is particularly deserving of ridicule because it narrates the false belief that there is only one "parking spot", that two unguided aircraft will collide like a pair of bowling balls "in a large bowl". The chances of that occurring are akin to throwing a basketball randomly out of a plane somewhere over north america and having it score the final points in the NCAA final.
How does this in any way differ from any other retailer, except that Costco adds an admission fee?

Waving a magical membership wand over my head doesn’t change any of the material facts.
They can't search your bags in England.

How much money? Are there people who just pay for the privilege of jaywalking and don't care about the money or their faces on the shame displays?
I rented in a house in So California for awhile that was built on top of a giant ant colony. It was within the first few days I found that out by leaving a few slices of pizza out in the box it was delivered in one night. By the next morning there was an ant highway every bit as busy as the 405 during LA rush hour traffic.

Of course, my first reaction was to go buy a big can of Ant spray. All that did was leave a trail of a zillion dead ants I had to clean up and poison the air with the stink of the spray.

I repeated that mistake a couple more times before learning if I just removed the food they were coming after they'd be gone in an hour or two. I felt like such a dumbass for not trying that first. And, of course, learning to be much more careful about leaving any kind of food out.

Still, it was pretty amazing to see. I mean, I almost never saw an ant if there wasn't any food left out, but it didn't take long at all for a zillion of them to show up if I did.
(sidenote- I extremely appreciated the 880 pound gorilla joke)
I agree, you must have misunderstood, I define 'nonsense' as something creative and fun to read.

That’s not really true. Most of MacOS is optimized for intel processors. Things like branch prediction and media encoding/ deciding are extremely different at a low level on AMD/ Intel, and Apple would need to make an enormous investment to rewrite all their perf specific components for AMD.
I'm surprised that the basis of this story wasn't mostly focused on the fact that Costco is different than other retailers, in that as part of your membership agreement (anyone who shops at Costco is a member, and, in theory (and usually practice) must provide evidence of their membership before entering), have to agree to allow a bag and receipt search on exit.

For normal retailers, no such agreement exists, and in the 20+ years of dealing with them, I've never once stopped at the courtesy check, and never once been called on it.
I don't think I understand the question. Equal enforcement would just be prosecuting everyone regardless of whether they're a minority or not, no?

It really does not matter how much they pay because the market price does not include the actual costs a company imposes on the environment. There is no CO2 Tax, is there?

Ask yourself: How can it be more efficient to stream the same stuff over and over again, wasting CPU cycles on couple of fat machines etc. instead of playing it from a local cache (hard drive, ...). IMHO it cannot be more efficient. It is convenient and it appears to be cheap.
Considering that two U.S. appeals courts have ruled that source code which was classed as a munition was protected by the First Amendment, I'm not too worried just yet.

We have the same problem in Southern CA. I also find the cleanest way to get rid of them is to get rid of the food source. This can be a dead fly or a piece of dog food. Remove it and the area is clean within a few hours. In the summer it's really hard though. it seems they also go after water when it's hot.
There have been stories about Costco exit check not being about theft at all, it’s mostly about checking for possible errors or fraud on the part of the cashier
Wasn't talking about a particular infraction specifically, just in general giving citizens police-ish powers seems open to abuse. For example, it gives you something that you can hold over someone's head/blackmail them with, "gimme X or I'll submit this ticket". There's also the possibility of lying in various forms (e.g. photoshop or otherwise fake a picture to submit).

These problems exist to some extent with professionals too, but it's easier to work on the trust angle with a small pool of salaried people that presumably want to keep their jobs for a long time, as opposed to a large pool of random citizens for whom this is a side gig or volunteer effort.
This was supposed to be originally posted on Dang's post. Evidently, criticizing the mob-boss isn't allowed now.

AndyKelley never ever forget why Ycombinator runs a "news" site.

YCombinator is a propaganda and VC funnel for upcoming projects that might make them money. The convenient excuses of tone policing is to not scare away upcoming companies and orgs that might be reprehensible to the public, but fit into the idea of (0) Moloch.

The SEC only requires significant transparency to Public corporations, which YC doesn't primarily work with. So, they can be as opaque and 'fake news'-ish as they wish. And they do, via "Hacker News". HN/dang has removed and/or modified and/of split off threads to lessen the impact of projects that affect them. And my guess is that V is one of those projects that caught their eye.

Instead, you'll see dang and similar giving edicts from above dismissing and ignoring legitimate complaints. Why? It all boils down to money. And YC wants more. Is that really surprising?

Now, why aren't I posting under my usual username? Because bans, hellbans, and other 'bad user' flags are a thing. And YC would never approach such transparency. They won't even try for the GDPR, and that's saying something.

There is no neophobia. This is someone overselling his side toy-project and people calling him out.
This is a straw man and you know it. The line between police harassment and brutality is very thin. All marginalized communities are asking for is equal treatment under the law.
What's interesting is that with the death of Moore's Law there's a sudden increased interest in accelerators (software or hardware assisted), specialized pieces of software/hardware that can perform certain tasks really fast and then integrating these in a PC system to boost performance of certain common tasks. Thus I found myself having to spend a lot more time lately learning how cache affects the code I write, branch prediction, speculative execution, etc. It feels like starting out learning to program all over again.
I am inclined to think of an ant hill as a living being. In that context they show a lot of clever behavior. A single ant is not very smart though but the same applies to parts of my body. Without the other parts they don't get much done either :-)

I'd happily respond, but this comment is like a greased pig: there's nothing to latch onto. Well, there's one thing: nothing about that project affects YC or HN or us, and we haven't conspired to "lessen the impact". The sinister specifics people come up with!

What catches my eye is flamewars on Hacker News, because part of being a janitor is mopping those up. Our deep dark purpose? To have an internet forum that doesn't suck. Unless you have plumbed my unconscious and know my thoughts better than I do, that's all we're trying to achieve. That alone is plenty valuable, so it's all we need to optimize for.

If you didn't worry about all of the potential for abuse, the ability it provides to help solve crime is pretty compelling.
To be clear, your program ran at half speed, right? That's far worse than doubling the time spent in memory-management functions.
I am fanatically opposed to random, suspicionless searches of personal property, whether psysical items or data. I don't find Costco offensive. They make it clear up front that's how it is and they search everyone rather than discriminating. Also, there are no bags, you take your items out in full view in an open cart, and after you leave you can do as you please. I don't have to shop there. Really, the confirmation of items leaving is just part of the standard checkout process.

Superstore has a no bag policy. Their security may stop you and demand you check your bag. They accept no liability for losing it. Due to their lack of offer to accept that liability I've declined to enter their store. I have no problem with it because we both have our own terms and if they aren't mutually acceptable we don't have to do business.
No problem :)

There are multiple ways to get a point across. Some people respond well to stories. Some people respond better to data.

Some people are helpful. Some people are condescending.

It definitely was.
Those examples aren't entirely invalid, but in one case of one of them (Purdue) they are facing legal jeopardy for their actions including a $270MM settlement in Oklahoma alone. The other company was founded 400 years ago, relied on letters of marque issued by (you guessed it) governments, and is no longer a going concern.

The thing about governments is that they have basically zero accountability to anyone except a better-armed government. We talk a good game here in the US, but it's certainly playing out differently.
>it looks like it avoids atomics on common cases of malloc and free. That’s a big deal and not all malloc a accomplish that.

Many mallocs implementations try to avoid one cache per thread because it can waste a huge amount of memory in applications with thousands of threads opting for per cpu pools or similar solutions. These solutions help with contention but still require atomics (unless using something like restartable sequences).

It is a trade-off, but for applications that use one thread per cpu, completely private free lists can branch win of course.
