I don't see anything specific about riscv here, am I missing something?
Why did man married then? Wouldn't it be easier for them to remain single and enjoy their freedom and wealth?
Please don't strawman me by suggesting that I'm saying only married people have children. The article also talks about the lack of desire to have children due to the desire for independence, and talks about how it's also a factor in the lack of desire for marriage.
I guess the key question is whether new cultural norms can be formed that allow both women and men to have the opportunities they deserve while still encouraging and supporting the birth of children.
Liberation doesn't do much good if the culture and way of life that liberated them dies off.
Marriage has its roots in slavery, especially of women. The word 'husband' means 'owner of a wife'. The woman was considered property of the man, a slave. The word 'family' meant 'slaves in a household'. Look it up.

Yeah, the BOM has gotten me a few times.

My most spectacular fail was a program that read UTF-8 or Latin-1 and wrote UTF-16, preserving but not displaying null characters. I believe this was default behavior HyperStudio. Every round-trip would double the size of the file by inserting null bytes every other character. Soon there were giant stretches of null characters between each display character, but the displayed text never appeared to change even though the disk requirements doubled with each launch. That's how I learned about UTF-16!

Speaking of Win32/COM... is there a "tcpdump for COM"? I've got a legacy app that uses COM for IPC and I've been instrumenting each call for lack of one.
Didn't we conclude here that more parking space is part of the problem? :)
One more thing: It is common practice to let employees sell off vested stock during fundraising rounds.

If you stick around, but are still uncomfortable with how things are trending, job stability, etc, devise a reason to cash out some of your vested equity, and see if they will set up a program for this.

The normal scenario is that they need to raise $X dollars in some round, but find investors with 1.1 * $X to invest. The employees end up selling 0.1 * $X of stock at whatever valuation the fund raising round comes up with. This can be a good way for employees to get liquidity at the expense of potential future gains, and it avoids dilution for everyone else (unlike raising money, and then using it to give out bonuses).
The problem, so to speak, is that companies are getting extremely data driven, and constantly need some form of metrics to evaluate their employees.

This again can turn into a culture where doing what's expected is devalued to lowest score - because you have that system where there has to be bottom and top performers.

And you sadly end up with a situation where workers are (almost) embellishing their projects to get more visibility.
I would like to add that the problem with the codedrome.com implementation is that it is relying on an approximation to convert wavelengths to RGB, it is a shame because you really just need the Colour Matching Functions (CMFs) data for the Standard Observer of interest, i.e. 2deg or 10deg (https://github.com/colour-science/colour/blob/develop/colour...) and a 3x3 matrix to convert from CIE XYZ to the RGB colourspace of interest, e.g. sRGB (https://github.com/colour-science/colour/blob/develop/colour...).
I think the probability of you being right is definitely above 50%.
I don't think uppercase/lowercase is an issue and in fact it is something that already happens. For example in most languages lowercase "i" has the letter "I" as uppercase version, but not in Turkish, where it gets converted to "İ" (with the dot). In Turkish "I" is the uppercase version of "ı" (without the dot). In other words the same letter can be "uppercased" to a different letter depending on the current language

Walmart already has something like this in the form of direct-deposit prepaid checking cards with baked-in walmart discounts:

this is taking it one step further, and it seems like using cryptocurrency technology to basically eliminate/compete with visa as a payment network (and therefore recoup txn fees locally and earn them outside of their own stores)
This is an ominous development for Hong Kong citizens. There is talk of martial law (and use of physical violence by the Chinese army) by this weekend or beyond in Hong Kong. Without the timely reporting from Hong Kong citizens to hacker news or other websites, we won’t be able to gauge the real magnitude of destruction and oppression to our democratic Hong Kong cousins (vpn will surely be turned off by then). And it might be tiananmen 2.0 all over again.

Our wish is with you, tiny island democratic people. The free world is on your side. I don’t think this time we as a free world will tolerate another tiananmen; China would face fury and economic sanctions like never before.

Does VR Make People More Empathetic?
Most women I know 18-30 put hours of their week into their fitness and appearance. The most you get out of men is that some of them try to get nice clothes and go to the gym. Those men have no problem dating, it turns out. Most men? I have to chide some men to take a shower and do their laundry, even.

If incels found out about exfoliating and not turning your depression and anxiety outward into misogyny, maybe they'd get laid.
The hadith you quoted says nothing about seggregation during prayers. It is about Janaza, the Islamic funeral ritual, which is a very short passage of stand-up prayer.

External accounts say segregation during prayer did not exist when Quran was being authored, not even when being compiled; in stark contrast to segregation during regular social life, which was well documented, and was part of nomadic Arabic culture well before Quran, though not as far as practiced by Muslims. Hadith books are not completely reliable; authentic narrations are intermingled with made-up passages (even authors themselves state that), Quran is the only fully reliable source of Islam (although more than 30 variants are found, the constitutional parts are consistent with each other, and variations are minor literal differences, some of which affect core theology).
I agree with the GP, women are more selective these days. I've been in the dating pool a while and things are changing in weird ways.

Sexually speaking, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
> GDPR specifies that it applies to companies that market specifically to EU citizens or specifically monitor EU behavior of their customers

Does that mean that if you market to the world (i.e. anyone who might hit the site, making no mention of world nationalities) but not specifically to the EU (i.e. You make no mention of anything specific to the EU in any part of a site and you don't differentiate them in any way from non-EU users) then the GDPR doesn't apply?
I've used hard (gas-permeable) lenses for 35 years without problems, but then I take them out every night and clean them. It's not nearly as difficult to keep them clean as it is with soft/disposable ones.
It's also possible, though, that companies are inadvertently training customers to be "bad customers" with the games they play around retention.

Consider the example of the AT&T customer in the article. The agent said there was "nothing she could do" until right up to the moment when the customer was switching. It's now common knowledge that this is basically the best way to get a deal, so many people skip the whole "Can you please give me a discount?" and instead go straight to the combative "Just close my account" first, as that's often the only way to get a deal.

> each byte has to be inspected to find whether it's the start of a multi-byte segment, how many of the subsequent bytes 1-3 are included.

Mostly no. Or at least, not if the implementation was written by somebody who knows what they're doing. A lot of multi-byte encodings do have the problem you're worried about but UTF-8 does not, and the definition is even careful to make this true if you're processing malformed UTF-8 which may be invalid.

The trick is that the bit pattern alone tells you whether this is a trailing byte. Nothing you could be looking for could _begin_ with a trailing byte, they only make sense in trailing position. Whether you are looking for a colon, or an omega, or the dog emoji, any trailing byte won't match.
Can confirm. Wife tells me all the time about how shitty Japanese guys are as husbands (heard all of her friends complain), and how happy she is that I’m not Japanese.

Even stay at home mothers without jobs do an insane amount of work here, with husbands expecting home made meals. This is all anecdotal of course, but I hear Japanese husbands almost never participate in any household chores. Wives don’t even bother asking as they are afraid of being seen as incompetent at doing housework. I can only imagine the schedules for working women! Mind you, Japan is not a society where hiring others to watch your kids is a common thing. Women typically do most of the kid raising on their own, with husbands only around on weekends and holidays.
How do you ensure our society survives in such an environment? There’s a potential future where the birth rate in open and tolerant communities falls to near zero while the birth rate in closed, ultra orthodox (across numerous faiths and denominations) religious communities within which women are commanded to procreate remains high. If you watch a show like Handmaid’s Tale through this lens you can start to connect the hypothetical dots from here to there.
ï»¿ is the representation of the UTF-8 BOM byte sequence in Latin-1. If this comment were stored as Latin-1 and you assumed it was UTF-8 just because it began with that byte sequence, you would discard an important part of my message.
Not sure how that is relevant to this discussion. That earnings release was before the current CPU lineup was released.
If you start using the BOM like that for UTF-8, then it's not really a byte order marker anymore.

BTW, OLE/COM is something that didn't click at all for me when I first started encountering it in the '90s. I'm kind of bummed that it seems to have been left behind because it's still a useful technology.
It’s better than that. There isn’t a single definition for white. Perhaps someone has one.

The best I can do, having studied Color Science at RIT, is that white is any spectral power distribution a person identifies as white. Yes, it’s a circular definition.

The topic is deeper than it might seem. I can put someone in a room and show them a color they would swear to be white. And then, in an instant, I can change that color by changing the surround, what you see peripherally. It’s freaky.
The thing that bothers me the most is the lack of consensus.

For every economically free woman there seem to be 5 more that would prefer the man to pay for every date or assume other traditional roles, no matter how it is rationalized. (My experiences in the Americas and most European cultures.) In this article about Japan that seems like an accurate distribution, given that it mentions only 1 out of 7 subscribe to any of the logic/circumstances the article is written about.

To be a male ally for the economically free and liberated woman is almost the worst form of altruism.

The incentives are completely misaligned. All you can do is learn about what the sensibilities are, never publicly disagree with them on record or around a woman striving for these ideals, but do the complete opposite with the much larger population of women that expects a certain traditional heteronormative gender role.

(The goal, of course, is to be an eligible mate - or not ineligible - for all of them)

Drone on Drone Warfare, with Jammers
Two-earner households obviously have a large independence over single breadwinner households in being able to 1) afford housing 2) afford to pay for education.

'Liberation' has meant that for the majority of women, if they want to raise a family without financial disadvantage, either must work or be very choosy over their husband's earning potential / wealth.

Is that really an increase in choice? Most people do not have the financial cushion to stay at home, even if that's what they really want.
Sheryl Crow on MeToo and Michael Jackson
Ah, thanks for explaining this. I was confused and thought that Latin-1 fit in UTF-8 in one byte, but I went and confirmed for myself you are right it does not. Hm.

In fact this means though that it isn't just the mistake of UCS-2 that results in people wanting "transparent Latin1 under the hood to save space".

Even if we had gone right to UTF-8, there would still roughly the same cost savings there.

I can't think of any way to deal with unicode that wouldn't have similar cost savings from "transparently doing non-unicode when possible".

Well, I suppose unless you made whatever Java (et al) are doing to mark which strings or portions of strings are actually being stored as Latin1, and made that a Unicode encoding. That would of course have it's own... challenges. If you think "transparently storing as Latin1 when possible" is an ugly hack, you'd probably not be happier with it being made a unicode standard encoding.

It turns out being able to represent all written human communication is really hard. Unicode actually does a pretty amazing job of it, balancing lots of trade-offs. (And the fact that it has as wide-spread adoption as it does is in part testament to this; just because you make a standard doesn't mean anyone has to or is going ot use it. Some of the trade-offs unicode balanced were making the adoption curve as easy as possible for existing software. Making ascii valid UTF-8 was, I think, proven by history to be the right decision, although it involved trade-offs... such as Latin1 not fitting in one byte :) ). Overall, Unicode is a really succesful standard, technically and in terms of adoption.

But UCS-2 was a mistake, that if it had been avoided would avoid some headache. But, i think, not the headache where Java is motivated to "store some things transparently as Latin1 where possible."
Is the problem here that Japanese men so stubbornly hold onto traditional morays? I’ve never been and am only passively familiar with cultural tradition, but it seems like the “company man” tradition is still very much alive, along with a lot of other very dated concepts.

What economic system do you propose that has the most individual independence?
For some things, we discovered that wasn't true for other things this last decade though.
Walmart used to be the innovator / leader. Now it just seems they are chasing trends. There doesn’t seem to be a coherent digital / tech strategy (at least on the consumer facing side).

Walmarts core is poor, rural/suburban America. How can wal-mart use tech to make their lives better? Same day home delivery is an obvious one, say every $X you spend in store you get a free same day home delivery credit. That would be nice / appreciated by folks struggling to get by.

Target, at least, seems to be doing its own thing vs constantly copying amazon/tech X, and I respect them for that.
As a Coast Guard vessel the Polar Star falls under the Department of Homeland Security, which is why the article made a pointed jab at Trump for the partial gov’t shutdown that halted the sailors’s pay (DoD was fully funded, DHS was not).

I’m all for moving money from DoD to peaceful operations such as this.
The inflation rate last year was about 2.5%.

If apple made $100 in 2018 q3 and 101 in 2019 q3, then they made less than 100 in 2019 q3 using constant 2018 dollars. It is declining revenue. That's a bit scary. For one quarter might just be a blip.
You bring out a very interesting fact. A not-so-known side effect of all that mining is that it flooded the Spanish markets in that era with so much silver that it lost its value. Niall Ferguson in “The Ascent of Money” suggests that all that silver in Spain couldn’t really prevent Spain from financial headaches. Makes you wonder if the first QE was way back in 1500s , doesn’t it? :-)
Again, what's happened is that vulnerabilities and strengths have shifted, as they're prone to do. I do tend to agree that power's hand (government, but also other empowered establishments) have largely strengthened, but the shifts are not entirely one-sided.

Some of those are based on informational vulnerabilities (see the #MeToo movement, and accusations against numerous power icons), some are based on data and information leaks. Some are based on backlashes -- Google's employee revolt against Dragonfly, and Edelman's against Geo[1] come to mind.

Physical sabotage against either very-high-value or very-exposed point or linear exposures (aircraft safety post-9/11, Stuxnet attacking Iran's uranium-enrichment centrifuges, pipeline and marine chokepoint vulnerabilities) expose the weakness of very-high-technology systems often having immense fragility.

What open resistance seems to rely on most profundly, as Gandhi and King noted, was the appeal to other sources of allegiance and sympathy. In truth virtually no power struggle is a naked encounter between two groups, but rather of consortia, with a high level of awareness of just how haywire things might go if one party presses its point too far. There's some evidence that reluctance to move against, e.g., right-wing extremist movements within the US is due to perceptions of high levels of support for those groups, including infiltration of institutions including law enforcement, military, and courts. I don't know for certain that this explains reluctance to act more decisively by the previous US administration, though I have a feeling it's at least part of the reason.

At the same time, open massed armed resistance does tend to be met with overwhelming force or opposition, though even that is often tempered. And in less democratic nations, the more so, as has been the case in, say, Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong over the past weeks and months.

It's a statement that is ~ 2 years old. I recently started learning it and like many things about it. I also haven't learned enough, so any borrow checker annoyance is likely a symptom of not knowing enough.

So far, I like:

- traits (similar to typeclasses)

- support for functional programming

- borrow checker keeping you aware of memory scoping

- it's (apparently) fast and relatively lightweight
Nice find, thanks!
Not an anthropologist, but from my readings of Roman history, the Roman aristocracy stopped having as many children as they had before to the point that Augustus (if memory serves) made achieving political office easier for those who had kids. Didn't make a difference.
There will undoubtably be many thousands of travelers who show up unaware or unprepared for this. Do these people now have to purchase a reusable bottle if they’d like to carry around a water with them? I sure hope this doesn’t end up backfiring and creating more waste.

Reusable bottles can consist of an order of magnitude or more plastic than a disposable water bottle, and if people aren’t reusing that bottle after they leave the airport, this might not actually lead to a reduction in waste.

I feel like every generation has this in some capacity, and the movement just dies off due to lack of reproduction. Leaving just their artifacts from their writings to inspire a similar distribution of people in a future generation, who also fail to create offspring to instill similar ideals in.

It's too bad, this was my go-to site if the VPN wouldn't connect.

HackerNews is read surprisingly widely here. I've met Chinese people (who work in tech) who read it. But the strangest thing I saw was a random older relative of my wife who linked an article that was just translations of various HN comments.

I don't remember which post they were from. It was an AskHN - something like "what's the worst codebase you've ever seen" or whatever. It was surreal to see the translations linked a month after I'd read the original thread.

The qualifications to become a pharmacy benefit manager include a bachelor's degree, at least five years of experience as a pharmacist, and five years in health plan pharmaceutical management.

So a bozo pharmacist can trump a doctor's judgment.
