Why doesn’t jumping to a random address panic the kernel instead of just killing the current process?

Also, I wonder if you can protect against this by XORing constants with a key before writing the instruction stream and then undoing that with later (properly aligned) instructions so the BPF code doesn’t break.
Deficit spending helps with all of those numbers. But it can't grow forever.

Not sure what bubble original commenter was referring, but would you not agree that the past couple years' hysteria over AI and ML suggests that the tech sector, at least, is experiencing a bubble? I don't think it'll be an extremely dangerous bubble because most of the cash being thrown at these startups is out of the pockets of risky VC funds rather than your Lehmann Brothers savings account, but it's still a bubble.

> Example, if you use your gmail account for Amazon, your entire purchase history will be stored by Google and you can't delete it.

not anymore. amazon has stopped putting product information in notification emails for just this reason. Notifications are now generic, “your order confirmation” etc. you have to login to amazon to discover the order that was confirmed etc. makes email receipts much less useful but avoids the 3rd party privacy issue.

and also, TFA is wrong. if you delete the email AND empty the trash, or wait 30 days for auto-empty, the purchase is forgotten by gmail.

even with this in mind, amazon chose to remove specifics from their notifications.

EDIT: except for the first 1click notification.
Whoa, TownDock.net is on the front page of HN!

I love seeing any "Web 1.0" site still flourishing in 2019. TownDock's been around since 2002, and their design has barely changed since then [1]. It's run solely by a local couple who have updated it by hand, usually several times a day, for the past 17 years.

It's an awesome resource for folks who live in Oriental. (Plus, they still sell banner ads to local businesses the old-fashioned way :) )

As far as I know, the authors don't make a ton of money from the site and run it as a public service. They're clearly technical people with good hearts.

It's so cool to see this 17-year-old website still going strong!

I have a permanent standing desk, it's actually a 3x11 desk surface built into the wall. I basically have two stations on it and I move back and forth between them depending on what I'm doing. I alternate between standing and sitting. For sitting, I got a drafting stool (with a back). These go up high enough. They do have a metal ring, but I found it more useful to keep a small footstool near where my feet will rest. I prefer having a flat surface to rest my feet on.

I got a Flash Furniture drafting stool originally in 2014. It works great, but I didn't like the armrests. In fact, the right hand one started to bend outwards a bit for some unknown reason.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SMTJNO/

Last year, I replaced it with "Staples Cabal Mesh Armless". This one has been working great and has much nicer padding than the prior one. If padding is important, I would recommend this one over the Flash Furniture one. But the first one did last me 4 years, and I still have it for if someone comes over to the office.

Both situations can be true.

Automation hits some industries harder than others. It's barely affected restaurant workers, for example, but has decimated mining labor.

Another recent example is processing meat. The US has a shortage of labor, but robots can't do the work and Americans refuse to.

I'm playing the devil's advocate a bit. I come from a compiler background. If your language has strong memory guarantees, a good compiler might even be able to eliminate temporary allocations completely in some cases, which is pretty neat (ie: make you think you're heap allocating something, when in reality it's on the stack, or in registers).

You can manually increase the DRAM access latency in BIOS, leaving clock alone, and measure. It impacts throughput somewhat, but may be a little closer to an apples-to-apples comparison. I don't know that anyone has attempted to do this for video games on Zen 2 specifically (especially considering Zen 2 is only commercially available for the first time, like, today).
Ralf might have missed it, but like it says in the article, there are volunteers around the world watching out for this thing, and they only needed to track it periodically - and communicate among themselves as a group about their findings - in order to keep tabs on it.

Things get exponentially easier when you've got more hands and eyes on the problem - not to say its not a difficult task, but lets remember - a group of people put it up there (that was pretty hard) - and now a group of people are tracking it.
if you “really” want privacy, you must use e2e encryption eg pgp.

i’m pretty sure that’s not what you meant, so you need to clarify your question.
If a recession of the magnitude claimed happens what are the three things the common individual should do? In other words what’s the best way to prepare for a down turn ? Hoard cash as much as possible? Try to hold down a job? Everybody cries of a recession surprisingly there is very little talk of how to prepare for a down turn
The only sector that doesn't seem to be doing well right now is the agricultural sector but it's only 1.3% of employment compared to like 30% in 1929, so I'm not too concerned, the stock market seems grossly overvalued - this does concern me.

When I started studying lifehacker.com was still a good blog. Their roundups mentioned Herman Miller Aeron and Steelcase Leap. I had a normal 0815 office chair from my work at home. A PHD student I knew had the leap at home because of back problems. When he decided to move away from Germany, he sold his office Leap to his boss and asked around who wanted his home one. I paid 300€ ($336.8 currently) after trying it. Sitting on it just for a few minutes convinced me and I've never sat on a comparable chair anywhere else since then (still using it after over 5 years)
Let me try to do the math here, please correct me if I'm wrong.

The band gap of Si in solar cells is about 1.1 ev. To excite three electrons, a photon thus needs 3.3ev, or about 370nm.

The visible spectrum starts around 380nm or 390nm, depending on which source you believe. So the triple photon frequency would be very near UV.

According to this spectrum [0], there's a sharp drop in solar power around the 370nm.

It seems that with the 1.1ev band gap, exciting three electrons doesn't seem to be worth it. But, if you could reduce it just a bit (by doping, most likely), it might be worth considering.

Of course, reducing the band gap would likely lead to much worse performance overall, so one would need a multi layer approach, which sounds pretty complicated.

And then you need to pray that your glass cover doesn't absorb the UV light, which seems to be a pretty close call[1].

Google is in an unfortunate catch 22. If they choose to act, that impacts the election. If they choose not to act, that also impacts the election.

The most obvious thing I've seen is they appear to be killing off independent news in favor of the old guard. We'll see what happens as this continues to unfold.
I love it, though. Perhaps the more general statement “the point of economics is that it keeps us alive so we can appreciate beauty” would be more universally agreed to.
I thought it was common knowledge that the recovery from the 2008 recession is largely driven by growth of tech stocks, especially Google, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook.

Because if we don’t have any architecture competition, innovation is limited to what can be done while remaining compatible with IBM PC DOS. There should be competition. The Intel-compatible monoculture is a bug, not a feature.

>Do we need 16-core PIC16 Mini ATX workstation too?

Now this is just garbage. I doubt you are really ignorant enough to believe modern ARM cores are effectively in the same class as PIC16.

But honestly, unless you have a vested interest in the failure of non-Intel-based architectures, then what do you care? Why the intellectual hostility? Why are we asking “why” instead of “why not?”

I like ARM. I would buy this machine.
several things: the head of the European comission isn't elected in a popular election, but chosen by representatives of the respective countries, and then affirmed by parliament. So that has little relevance to the actual elections of the parliament itself.

Furthermore cooperation between European countries on election security isn't just relevant when it comes to EU elections, but also when national elections are at stake.
was there a link to the talk?
Very nice page. Although it seems to be wrong about the golden rule, the golden rule is "treat others how you want to be treated" not "treat others as they have treated you in the past".
I think I probably disagree. Hear me out.

1. “Money” = cash. (Hard to argue with that I think)

2. Cash is simply a more efficient means of exchange or store of value than custom IOUs (checks basically) or barter (I need milk, you have C++ code. Durrrr?)

I don’t think you want to take “money” out of anything if you agree that money is the above.

That would bar the ability of people to encode trust or information or relationships into pieces of paper (or gold or code or whatever).

(Don’t freak out: relationships are encoded on paper and in gold every day; eg weddings)

So yeah. I think cash (and maybe debt - as per original comment) might be a very powerful tool. Which we should be very careful with.
One way to handle GUI componentry is to separate out the notions of ownership, parentage and reference.

Ownership defines who frees who. Parentage defines control nesting. References should to be handled via an indirection (e.g. names) and a protocol so that referees get notified when referents die. The indirection means that components get wired up in a late bound fashion; and the late binding means the gubbins for a protocol can be in place by then.

This stuff was figured out reasonably well with Delphi's VCL.

Yes, and we see this in disproportionate demand for software developers, and also in envy/resentment towards tech workers, who have benefitted the most in the recovery.

Not completely sure why you are being downvoted.

But many countries in the EU have made similar commitments, with EOL between 2025 (Norway) and 2040 (France).

Hence why I specifically said India, China and the EU. I don’t think the Anglo Saxon world is taking this issue at heart much yet (besides UK).

If the regulator ban something automakers will adapt. And so will the population.

AFAIK the climate change issue is way less politicized in continental Europe than in the US, which makes action so much more easy. Lobby and corruption are still an issue though...
Sounds like the pre-production board is for people who can't wait until a production board with mainline Linux support is available:

> The pre-production developer board is fitted with NXP LX2160A pre-production silicon which explains some of the limitations. [...] software features will be limited with the lack of SBSA compliance, UEFI and mainline Linux support. It will support Linux 4.14.x only.

BTW, would be nice if the production board had Coreboot support, whether or not it has UEFI by default.

But that also requires managed memory. If your model is to call an opaque function `malloc` then the compiler can't reason about it to scalar replace it.

I think that's a bit beside the point.

A photomultiplier has a pre-charged state where a photon triggers an avalanche -- not really relevant for photovoltaic applications.

The question was more if you can lift three electrons trough the band gap, triggered by a single photon, which would increase the solar cell's output current without dropping the voltage.
The ethical choice would be to not make any partisan or skewed editorial decisions. As it stands, they're using their immense leverage to advocate for left wing politics.

It doesn't help that size is partially a result of marketing. At the same production scale, the most marketed product may not be staying at that scale as long (assuming the marketing is being done somewhat efficiently, which perhaps isn't necessarily a good assumption).
You are stating a popular opinion, but it's one that I do not share.

You are right, hate is a very strong word that I should not have used in this context.

I'm really not that interested in what the court of public opinion thinks, I'm more interested in the truth. The truth is that I don't know if he is Satoshi or not, neither do you or anybody else here. Yet everybody is assuming that without question. The word fraud occurs 21 times in this threat, in almost all cases without qualification. I would expect more from the HN community.

I had Embody and I sold it after an year or two. Bought it trusting the "IT crowd" wisdom.

As with all the chairs, it's a very subjective matter. I think producers/models should not be recommended, as the body shapes vary too wildly.

What I think it's absolute though, is that they're grossly overpriced - new, they cost more than 1500$. When I went out for finding a replacement, somebody called that type of chair "boss" chair, that is, an expensive chair that stood out aesthetically.

I'm fine now on chair that doesn't look as good, but costs around 1/5th, and has the same durability, and as many (although different) options.

I can't recommend people enough not to accept recommendations ;-)
One of the biggest issues with any system is to stop spread of false information. All social networking platforms are designed to give importance to viral content so they can get opportunity to monetizing these things. Most likely by the time they figured out that there is something wrong with the content its already been exposed to the people.
This is an interesting concept. But why to do this on a file system level? Web and desktop based applications like Google Photos and iTunes offers some cataloging and search capabilities that should cover most of the use cases.

What I was thinking of as I typed that comment was people who begrudge increases in the standard of living for those in poverty. I see this in two forms. The first and most direct form I see is when people don’t want minimum wage to increase because it means their own wage becomes closer to the minimum. The second and more insidious form I see is in judging the entire concept of “poverty” in a critical light. I recall my mother being furious that the average person below the poverty line had a color TV (this was in the 90s). I would think in a progressive and loving society we might celebrate the fact that what we consider our poorest citizens have access to technology and new niceties.
Diversity of options is a longer-term tradeoff; it is more expensive in the short term, agreed, but it helps keep the industry from getting stuck in a rut. If you like, it keeps us from getting stuck in local minima, albeit at the cost of not getting to use local minima.

>Also, Craig Wright doesn't have the technical understanding to have written the Bitcoin implementation. Listen to him speak. If you're honest with yourself, and if you code, you'll realize that he's likely never written much running code at all, much less a full implementation of a complex cryptographic and network protocol.

This is an important observation. Craig gives himself away every time he presents at a conference. His talks just throw up a bunch impressive technical jargon and graphics, but then completely fail to weave it all together into a coherent whole, leaving only a disjointed mess.

It fools people who aren't watching closely and thinking critically. But Satoshi Nakamoto being possibly one of the greatest connectors and integrators of disparate technical ideas in our time, Craig Wright he is not.

I don't think your use of the qualifier "obviously" is quite called for.
