While I accept the result here, this is basically the end of the UK tech industry. *

I would have hoped for better news than this, but it seems that Brexit will wipe out the 'talent' that is in the UK and will make the job search for 'tech skills' even scarce.

Looks like the hedge-funds are just going to get alot richer.

This x 100. Most of Gen Z has become absurdist (memes only make sense to young people often for this reason) out of necessity. The "adults" have failed them and they have no power to change it. Depression and anxiety should only be expected.

> Earth's resources are decreasing over a given timespan because we both spent exhaustible resources and produce wastes for future generations.

To my awareness, there is no critical resource that is both exhaustible and non-substitutable. Waste is not a fundamental issue, it can be stockpiled and possibly recycled with future technology. Most of it can also simply be burned with relatively low environmental impact, at least in modern incinerators [1].

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incineration#Arguments_for_inc...

> There is no evidence that overpopulation is not long-term concern. Look at Africa, India, China.

Yes, do look at these countries:

Chinese fertility today is well below replacement, despite giving up the disastrous "one child policy".

Indian fertility rates are at 2.2, very near replacement levels.

African fertility rates vary wildly with countries, but here as well you can see that fertility is inversely correlated with standard of living. Moreover, a low standard of living also implies relatively low resource usage.

> New technologies are not guaranteed.

New technology isn't strictly required, it just implies a lower standard of living.

> You can’t simultaneously give less and less time and resources to your children and ask them to be better than you.

Of course you can. The more pressure there is, the more likely it is that new solutions are developed.

Imagine if there wasn't any petrol left, we'd put a lot more effort into renewables. They wouldn't even need subsidies.

> They will choose to continue your tactic until civilization collapse as future generations can't vote

Well, sometimes civilizations do collapse. We may well enter an age of decline again. We also may launch a global thermonuclear war. I'm not saying a rosy future is guaranteed, I'm saying resource exhaustion and overpopulation are not as big a concern as people believe.
No, an air conditioner is just a heat pump pumping heat from inside the house to outside. That doesn’t change the efficiency, it’s still greater than 1. The efficiency difference is because the required temperature differential typically is much bigger for heating than cooling.

Sure, got that.

But doesn't it also mean that, as the committee cycles, the likelihood of compromised nodes eventually being part of the cohort increases?

If you have a minute, maybe evaluate this statement to see if I've got it right: The attack surface presented by CHURP, in contrast to vanilla SSS, is more robust against an attacker who, throughout the lifecycle of the secret, begins with few compromised nodes and increases her circle of influence throughout? It is, at least in some cases, weaker against an established attacker who begins the lifecycle already having compromised several nodes and who can afford to wait until the right combination of nodes is selected for committee participation.

Do I have that right?

Interesting stuff, either way.

True, I just assumed it was related to the txfs_list_transactions ioctl.

I think the Kernel Transaction Manager already takes care of that. I think??? TxF could be implemented as a userspace library on top of KTM, but I'm not particularly familiar with either facility. Though if it was possible perhaps they would've done it that way in the first place, since TxF uses KTM regardless.

I wonder what did happen to it between SP0 and SP1.

The purpose of the government is not to ban everything that might hurt you. It’s simply made the decision that smoking is so harmful that it should be regulated. Just about anything can be harmful depending on how you consume it. Eat too much sugar? You’ll become obese. Eat no sugar at all, you’ll die.

Nicotine by itself is not particularly harmful. It can have acute effects if you overdose on it, but it doesn’t cause cancer. The harmful part of cigarettes is all the burnt plant matter you’re inhaling. You don’t see anybody discussing the risks of nicotine patches or gum.

I used vaping to quit smoking (and then eventually quit vaping). I’m sure vaping is better for me than smoking, and I’m sure not vaping is better for me than vaping. I’m all for safety regulations and more research to be done. But regulating or taxing the hell out of it just because it looks like smoking seems incredibly short sighted to me. Id want any regulation to be based on sound safety practices, and a legitimate understanding of the health affects.
Whereas people on Reddit have no bias at all? Why is it FUD? Why do we equally blindly believe "oh, no, this is all Chinese tainted shit - 'real' vape cartridges are all goodness and light"?
The title reads that changing the date labels is a way to fix the problem, yet the third paragraph outlines that "we estimate that 20% of household food waste is due to confusion over date labels". Cutting down on that 20% would of course be beneficial, but it's a long way away from fixing the problem as a whole.

I’ve been waiting for this sort of thing. Naturally, since a TOS represents informed consent and is somehow a legally binding contract, then the next innovation is to add financial terms to them.

Hopefully, such a company will push the boundary so far that the entire world of TOS will be overturned by some court decision.

Imagine walking into a mall and ending up consenting by accident to the tos nonsense we have now.

That is obviously what I'm referring to, what are you on about? It would behoove you to refrain from needlessly condescending replies.
I think what OP is hinting at here is cache invalidation/eviction caused by the additional thread's processing and memory operations. If your requirements are down to nanosecond granularities then cache misses are probably being measured and noticeable. A third party logging thread doing memory copies and other log processing sounds like a fine way to unintentionally evict a bunch of cache entries. You might be able to mitigate this to some extent with CPU affinities for threads I suppose. Another option would be to move logging to the network and record packets in/out with an out of band monitoring solution.
Ask HN: How do you write published essays?
Hi HN, I'm curious how do y'all iterate on your essays before they're published. Do you go through multiple drafts/runs by editing in place or start a clean slate? Do you just open a new Google Doc and type away or some other workflow? What about technical pieces with code examples, if they are any different than general business/finance writings?
> I find it interesting that the article is targeting vaping in general rather than buying tainted products.

Yea, I don't vape anything but I think it's a pretty fascinating public health issue and I'm very interested in potential developments in our understanding of its health impacts. I read the first couple of paragraphs and realized that the article has little to do with what its headline implies. I suppose I should've known better than to credulously read a headline from a clickbait rag like the NYT.
I was raised by blue collar folks. My grandfather was an electrician and a farmer and lived to be 95. He was still hopping up until he was 93. Another farmer relative died at 99, still owned and ran a retail company when he was 88. Hard work doesn't kill you. And in fact, it's good for your body (within reason. Obviously too much of a good thing can be bad for you...but people aren't getting enough physical activity today).
Well for starters WSL implements Linux system calls, so it definitely has its own system calls!

But even beyond that, I was thinking of one thing they added for performance reasons (see 3rd bullet): https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/873#issuecomment-425...

However I'm not entirely sure if it's a concrete "syscall" or if it's implemented as a new option through an existing one. (It's not clear to me how they could reasonably fit this into anything that already exists, but it might.) Though I would be mildly surprised if they didn't implement at least one syscall specifically for WSL...
I mean, if I hire a contractor that I got through a staff augmentation agency, I have to pay a fee. That is part of the agreement with the agency. This seems the same?
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_File_System which had a slightly different method of maintaining integrity. The filesystem metadata state would atomically change when the root block was updated, with all the actual changes being written to free space until then. You could do a load of writing, and hear the hard drive chugging away. Then it would finish, wait a second, and the hard drive would go "click", which was the atomic root block update.

It also had a rather interesting feature for log files, where you allocated a set size, and any appending onto the end of the file that made it longer would discard the part at the beginning of the file, without allocating any new space.
> Nicotine by itself is not particularly harmful.

... if being a highly addictive drug isn't considered harmful.

Or being a teratogen. Or messing with sleep cycles. Or harming brain development.

In utero nicotine increases the likelihood of hypertension and diabetes.

No medical study considers nicotine harmless. Yes, it won't cause cancer. But that's not synonymous with "not particularly harmful".
It’s not. Nothing about this benefits anyone. It’s purely nativism and racism.

China used iPhone website exploit attacks to target Uyghur Muslims
It's worth remembering that civilization was independently invented in several different places, at least in Mesoamerica, Peru, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Indus River, and China. Possibly more, as anthropology has tended to assume that cultural innovation is imported (or at least adapted) from elsewhere in the absence of evidence one way or the other.

Climate change is presently believed to be a major catalyst to the development of civilization in Egypt and Mesopotamia. It also thought to have led to the collapse of the Indus River Valley civilization. But it is not thought to have played major roles in the other developments of civilization.
Lots of "day laborers" work in construction. And they make decent money but they're not saddled with $200K in student loans. As for factory work, the factory jobs have been largely exported to China. But factory work itself is probably preferable to going into debt to get a four year vanity degree and then end up working at Starbucks.
Well yes, using another thread is a only good idea if you have an extra core available.

If you're coming from the oversimplified perspective that things are always horribly evil or "goodness and light", then sure. But you have to understand that many of us here are different in that we're capable of understanding nuance, and that facts and details matter in building a model of a complex world.

The health effects of vaping still aren't settled science, but that doesn't make these article any less FUD: The fact that headlines like this and others are eliding the critical fact that the cases they describe are limited to bootleg cartridges is pretty much a central case of FUD.

We have vastly increased wealth, and now every college student owns a credit card, a smartphone, high speed internet, nice clothes, and has a far higher likelihood of landing a good job with savings compared to 50 years ago. Or even compared to graduates in poorer countries.

Seems unlikely, though IANAChemist. Butane is a volatile (BP ~0 centigrade) short-chain hydrocarbon, and its isomers would likely (?) be similar. Contaminants of butane might be what?

If they were longer chained they'd be less volatile but still disappear quickly. If they were long enough to hang around to mess up lungs then they'd probably not vapourise well in the first place so wouldn't make good solvents. Just a guess though.

Your thoughts?
The adversary in your statement seems like a static one. Given enough nodes in the committee (100's), it should be possible to make sure the case you specify never happens.

And, I'd think fixing the committee is worse, as it presents a static point of attack from adversarial POV. If you want any amount of decentralization, handling churn seems essential.

I've found generally I can operate with almost complete trust, but there are always some bad actors AND people fuck up. Of the latter: programmer contacts me about a job I'm advertising. I tell them about the role. They want me to represent them but decide the best course of action is to apply directly to the client on their website (?!). When I find out, I contact the client and try and explain the situation.

First time I've worked with the client, and after some emails, they grudgingly accept that I have the emails to prove the situation, but the candidate fucked it all up ... however, this has engendered enough shitty feeling that they decide they don't want to continue working together.

I don't get paid for most of the candidates I put forward for roles (employers want 4-5 applicants per person they hire, at least), as they don't get the roles, and can't afford to just forgive a $20,000 commission because the candidate managed to gum up the workings.
I should have specified, for a fully developed adult. The risks of nicotine consumption alone are very low. Poor diet, poor physical activity, consuming alcohol, riding a skate board, walking on an icy sidewalk all present risks to your health. The role of government isn’t to prohibit anything that may cause you harm, because that’s just about everything. The reason vaping gets so much scrutiny is simply because it looks so much like smoking. Like I said, I think some safety regulation is a good idea. But “does this have any potential at all to cause harm” is not a reasonable threshold for regulating imo, and certainly not to the extent that tobacco is.
But Windows has excellent back-compatibility!
The more direct solution to helping those in tough situations like you describe is enforcing stricter employee labor laws. Messing with contract law is another can of worms. There are plenty of situations between corporations or wealthy people where parties have no other reasonable choice (e.g. a fire sale of a company). That shouldn’t make contracts void.
