I stopped working on LLVM about 2 years ago (give or take), as i now have way too many reports to be able to do any effective patch or design review, or honestly, keep up with the mailing list. I'm also too far divorced from work being done.

(I unsubscribed late last year)

I specifically reviewed and approved the llvm.noalias patches before i stopped, which is why they are marked as accepted by hal, back in 2016.

More than that, i was one of the people who basically showed that !noalias/etc is fundamentally broken and can't be fixed.

Nothing should be blocked on me at this point, and my reviews account is deliberately disabled so that people can't assign/add me to things.

If something is blocked on me, hal certainly hasn't let me know :)
Right, which is why any denial they make about this sort of thing is meaningless.
The lazy mis-characterization of our border facilities as concentration camps is exactly what I'm talking about, while also being a wildly inappropriate comparison in a country with many Holocaust survivors.
It's like the third party really had no intention of paying 20K, other than to use it as a carrot to dangle in front of the publisher.
They make even less sense for complex, proprietary EVs.
You're agreeing with the headline, but your tone implies that you're disagreeing.
Security, decoupling calling code from db schema
As someone who worked in an office with these exact characteristics (complete with a pullup bar), I can vouch that in my case, the pullups were indeed the least of the distractions. The pool table next to all of us was the big problem. High quality noise cancelling headphones did not help at all.
Right, right, inheriting mansions from deceased ancestors, a highly frequent occurrence for the “little people.”

Don’t worry, I don’t think we’ll see this apply to too many lower-income (aka little) people in America.
Agree.

Remember BadBIOS?

Same problem. EVERYTHING that Dragos Ruiu claimed is plausible, and it could be a great cyberpunk plot written by Neal Stephenson. But there is ZERO evidence that the malware actually exists.

And finding an actual incident in real life is much more important than theoretical possibilities. For example, almost everyone knows that it's very possible for semiconductor vendors to include a silicon-level backdoor since the 1980s, but finding an actual Intel/AMD chip with such backdoor (not ME, something like a secret instructions) is another matter.
Apple’s market cap is $983B and IBM’s is $125B. So somehow they’ve survived this lowbrow hack.

Seriously, with 64 bit addresses available on the iPhone I’m typing this into, this is an excellent trick, especially for applications. Even ARM’s TBI leaves 56 bits which is more address space than a data center’s DRAM.

log2(16 billion * 100,000) is about 50

You have a point at 32. You’re just wrong at 64.

That would probably qualify as a perpetual motion machine, which are decidedly not possible.
I'm not in a position to use specific words to form my opinion? Did we get teleported to a dictatorship that I didn't know about? I can use whatever words I want to say what I want to say, and I know you're not in a position to stop me here.

Good customer service means that the issue is dealt within the standard support pipeline. That clearly failed, based on the wording of the post, especially mentioning that they received no response from support on the matter.

The fact that OP got support once they called Stripe out on social media, while great for OP, is not something to be admired because it means many people are also likely falling through the cracks and just giving up instead of reaching out on other channels.
I was thinking of making it a blog because that's kind of how I've been writing it for myself.

And then organizing and compiling it into a book.
I agree with so much of what you said, plus I have to say I love post-it notes for keeping track of notes etc, nothing is better and more convenient then flipping the page open and immediately having the content at your fingertips.

No slow crappy UI or micro keyboard to deal with, just what I wanted, the information.

Yes there are downsides, but it's what I find most enjoyable and efficient.
I am still not sure why you failed?

> Instead, we just go along with this fake-grassroots idea of "oh yeah Amazon is an evil empire"? This doesn't process for me.

The idea predates the astroturfing effort, which glommed on to it because the idea was popular, resilient, and convenient.

The fact that it serves certain other companies’ interests to promote the idea doesn't invalidate it.
There are a great number of Western anime fans who are also right-wing - either out of an admiration for Japan (which they perceive as being superior due to "racial harmony" and the position of women in that society) or out of the idea that Western media is infected by "SJWs", and Japanese media isn't.

I don't know how many right-wing anime fans there are in Japan (who would be the audience for right-wing anime), though going from the most popular anime, it's not a large enough group of people for the industry to cater to their tastes.
There are so many layers of nuance that your comment glosses over that I find it hard to answer. It depends on why they agree with me. Do they agree with me because they were an Uber driver too? Because they did the math? Because they believe anything they read? In the context of agreeing with me, have they made it obvious whether or not they checked this conclusion On their own? Do they provide the reason they agree with me? Is this agreement a comment or simply an upvote? Be more specific.
Sure you can make arguments one way or another regarding if a hand-written block of SQL would have the same flaw, but if an experienced DBA or developer writes it, I would bet on their output way over anything an ORM outputs.

If you consider the software development process as a whole, the explicit SQL approach intrinsically guarantees additional scrutiny of the actual SQL statements. If you hide all of this behind an ORM, all that is seen during code review time is some beautiful POCO model with a few extra IEnumerables thrown on it. No one is paying attention to the man behind the curtain and the horrible join that was just created automagically.

Perhaps the answer is to just log and profile all the ORM generated SQL - Sure, but if you could look at the ORM's output (which in some cases is abusively large) and quickly determine if its good or not, why not just write it yourself and be 100% sure from the start?
An ORM is pretty darn useful for CRUD

Use a query tool like QueryDSL or Jooq for querying.

It's not surprising that you fail if you don't use the right tool for the job
ORMs were never about not using or not knowing SQL. They are a convenience for people who already do.

If you don't know SQL, don't interact with an SQL database.
I'll happily take the opposite side of that bet.

Merge is cons!
so was the fatal blow in being effectively replaced by kubernetes? or not getting to the admin console as a product fast enough?
Many linguists believe the same set of principles act on sub-word units, a theory called Distributed Morphology or DM[0]

"'Syntactic Hierarchical Structure All the Way Down' entails that elements within syntax and within morphology enter into the same types of constituent structures (such as can be diagrammed through binary branching trees). DM is piece-based in the sense that the elements of both syntax and of morphology are understood as discrete instead of as (the results of) morphophonological processes."[1]

So a rather simplified way to think about it is that each word is a little mini-tree and Merge operations create a branching structure between its constituent parts. Each of those words is then part of the larger sentence-level tree. The important this is that Merge is acting on the units at both levels.

Similarly, Merge can act on structures that are the output of previous Merges, allowing you to have a verb, in a particular conjugation (it's sub-word structure), that selects for a particular type of supra-word structure (a tree) that's headed by a noun with some set of features, eg a particular case.

Another point that is kind of alluded to in the article is that you can create movement from one part of a tree to another with Merge. In previous theories of syntax, there always needed to be both something like Merge and a special "move" operation. But Merge simplifies things quite a bit in that regard.

This is akin to how homelessness causes social death.[1] Poor Kenyans are seen as a debt market, not whole people who both can and need to contribute productively and get money back for their efforts.

This is why I'm against UBI. This is why I'm trying to figure out how to help poor Americans, including homeless Americans, access ability to earn an income.

This is why I'm trying to figure out how to start a pilot program in my small town, which has a huge homeless problem for such a tiny berg.[2]

I don't know how we solve it globally, but I can see a path forward for some portion of the problem in the US. I just don't know how to get buy-in.

Thanks for sharing your personal opinion, I appreciate.

The fact that I shared my story like I did and doing now was beneficial on all levels for me. I stayed true to my principles and values. I was approach by companies and managers who have the same values also. It helped me go back on my feet emotionally and professionally way more quickly.

My personal take is that whatever you do, no matter if it's about deciding to not care or not say anything, or being vocal, stay true to yourself, and be proud of what you share.
PDF readers are pretty pathetic. For example:

1. cannot recall where you were the last time you were reading the file

2. cannot display pages side by side in full screen (you know, like a book can)

3. herky-jerky scrolling because the programmers do not understand how to write concurrent display code

4. no way to create a 'stack' of temporary bookmarks so you can scroll around while keeping your place

5. no way to set a paper-like background

6. no way to open multiple pdfs at the same time and display them in different windows (even my 30 year old text editor can do that)

7. display the first page of the pdf as the thumbnail

8. make the thumbnails much, much larger - like the size of a paperback book

(Some pdf readers do one or two of these.)

It's like the people who program pdf readers never use them.
Seth Vargo works now at Google Cloud. Will he break it next? Is Google Cloud a risk for our company?
Not that I was serious in any way. But since we're talking about it, I am not convinced that our societies are able to coordinate an effort like that on a scale that would make a difference to the global climate.

Maybe I'm unaware of relevant history, maybe I'm being too cynical.
It's clickbait fodder. Construing the manifest privacy changes as Google is blocking ad blockers is better clickbait than saying Apple safari is doing the same thing.

It's similar to when the internet blew up about Google's project dragonfly, which was cancelled, while Apple quietly did the same thing by sharing iCloud user data with the Chinese government.
I completely agree with you on this!

I wasn't mentioning those were the reasons, but that those were part of what happened in the last months.
Shipping is the single most efficient way to move anything, followed by trains.
How is anyone supposed to do anything? We need the federal and state governments to do something, funding mental health services and facilities. That takes huge amounts of money and politicians don’t gaf because liberal cities are going to vote for Democrats anyway.

The only solutions other than that are status quo or imprisoning the homeless, where the second is much more expensive than the first. I guess in your mind unless I start trying to provide free addiction treatment on the streets I’m just paying lip service?
I wonder if books would be considered a carbon sink? Or if the paper manufacturing process would negate it.
If your implementation means that a person in the third world cannot afford a fire to cook meals but a person in the first world can afford a huge fire pit for cooking marshmallows I would say you are well on your way to creating a dystopia.

It needs to be viewed as distasteful as holding sales meetings in a strip club.
When someone questions authority, consensus, it is pretty much obvious to anyone that they are taking on a task which exposes them to ridicule.

People who are willing to take on this task -- which is no more but a simple expression of ideas -- have even gotten themselves killed.

Ideas which can be expressed as I did in above comments with no more than a sarcastic statement of a couple of facts and yet even still be received as being so offensive and "unhinged" by peers -- are always ideas which clearly do not stand on their own. Otherwise, stating a couple of facts would not be so offensive to you that you responded aggressively and irrationally with ad hominen attacks.

When groupthink and authority do this to people like you it is truly terrible but still just normal and part of human nature. The world is not nice to its Thomas Paines and Helmuth Hubeners, even though it would be a much worse place without them. Though I'd rather take any chance that I be in their company than the likes of people who throughout history tolerate abuse, evil, lies and wrongdoing. Or worse, ridicule those who question it.

What happened to object databases? They seemed to have a brief moment in the spotlight during the 90s but haven't made much noise since. Bad product or just too much inertia with relational databases?
I've found that DDD and a read/write separation of concerns simplifies things greatly.

On the write side, the ORM just returns an aggregate, usually based on the PK of the root. Thats's trivial for any ORM.

On the read side, simple queries can be modelled with ORM syntax if you're just trying to fetch a graph of existing objects. Complex queries can be returned with raw SQL that map to custom read models. I tend to wrap both styles in integration tests that ensure the query logic doesn't change, and that the actual mappings don't break.

Both ORMs and SQL have their usages, and they're not mutually exclusive.

The best ORM (outside of ActiveRecord) I've seen was a proprietary hand-rolled one that solved the impedance mismatch.

It had a canonical XML format that entities were defined in and code generation for data access layers, domain models, view models etc.

It actually worked better than I've seen the abuse I've seen developers put EF through. I found it nicer and simpler than times I've worked with Hibernate.

I'm not going to say it was perfect, but every time I think back on it it makes me want to revisit the idea of leveraging a bit of code generation or metaprogramming to be able to have a canonical definition of an entity transformed into concerns that deal with the given entity at different points in the application.

That part of it just really hit the sweet spot for me.
For me, it depends on the book.

For recreational reading, I strongly prefer real, printed ones.

For reference materials, I strongly prefer electronic ones (stripped of DRM and converted into a non-proprietary format). I can keep my entire technical library on my phone and I can grep through the entire set of books for something in particular that I need to find. I remember the days when my technical library was in printed form. It took a lot of space and often I'd be unable to predict which book I'd need at home vs at work, and end up not having it available. On this front, electronic books were a total game-changer for me.
Db4j is an async transactional database engine that uses java as the query language. It doesn't eliminate the O/R impedance mismatch entirely (it's not a graph or object database), but it does simplify it greatly since everything is java

https://github.com/db4j/db4j

I love the idea and it's been fun for me to make demos with, but I've gotten almost zero feedback on the API, and what I have gotten is "can you add a SQL frontend". And yet neither ORM nor SQL are loved

So the question (and I'm not suggesting that Db4j is the answer) is: "what's the API that would be most natural ?"
The opposite side of that bet? So you won't change your tune and you'll happily continue to do this even after your clients find it disgusting? Be my guest I guess...
what else are you going to do? inline “SELECT” queries all over your code? Lots of PHP codebases look like that, I guess

This is one of the concerns we have with SCA. By the nature of the additional authentication steps, they are necessarily hosted off-site in some situations.

Is this a necessity though? Couldn't they just enter the 2FA code in the same manner that they enter their card details on the merchant site? i.e. After entering their card details, it will just prompt them for more info if necessary.

There are key differences between building more highways and building more dense housing.

I suspect induced demand is more of an effect with highways than housing. People can change their driving habits from day to day more easily than they can change their living habits.

Expand a highway, and more people in the area start taking more car trips on it.

Add housing, and more people don't instantly come into existence to occupy it. (Maybe, over a few years, people stop cramming themselves into crowded roommate arrangements as much, and over decades they have more kids.)

But if I granted that induced demand applied to both...

Driving is a means to an end. People stuck in traffic are suffering.

Having a home is an end in itself. People need shelter, and living near your community/job/family is a huge quality of life improvement.

Plus, when you expand a highway, strictly more mileage is created. It's not like the additional car trips in this city are taking the place of car trips in another state. It's a net loss for society and the environment.

Whereas, when you add housing, even if it induces more people to move into that city, they're moving out of some other city, easing the demand in the housing market there.

Yes, PDF readers are bad.

What makes the problem worse is that the PDF itself, is sometimes a resource-intensive format as well. Finding information from a modern datasheet is a pain, finding information from a scanned 300 MiB datasheet from the 1980s is real pain. Lots of rendering.

None of the problem (other than keyword searching is not available) exists in a physical book, the human brain is a great pattern-recognizing machine. Nothing beats flipping through the pages and using fingers as markers yet...

I use this with Peter Lowe’s blocklist [0]. I’d share the exact setup but I’m not near my Mac just now.

It’s great, but I also use 1Blocker — have since its release, also use it on iOS — and I think it does most of the work. I’ve only recently added the blocklist to Little Snitch and I don’t notice much difference.

Of course Little Snitch is blocking all network traffic, including Firefox. I use Firefox as my dev browser and don’t have any blocking extensions loaded.

It’s in the category of ‘why not’ for me, I already have Little Snitch so I may as well load in these rules.

What is the conflict in priorities that you mean?

I ask because I considered code breaking and code making complimentary, in the sense they debug one another somewhat.

My guess is that this chance to debug one another motivates their coresidence in a single agency.
For certain abstractions, we are looking to maintain the state of a business process over time:

The relational concern is the storage of metadata sufficient to locate & retrieve the state. E.g.: integer primary key, name of process, current transition in process, some datetime info, active session id, last user, etc.

The 'non-relational' portion is simply a final 'Json' column per row that contains the actual serialized state. This state model can vary wildly depending on the particular process in play, so by having it serialized we can get a lot of reuse potential out of our solution.

In terms of the models, it's not 1 gigantic class with 1000 properties. Its more like a set of 100+ related models with 5-30 properties each.

Replacing something that still works and isn’t all that old with a new, more energy-efficient product rarely yields a net reduction in emissions. That new thing need to be produced, and production is often a major component of lifecycle emissions.
Doing this on the property of most nuclear laboratories would probably be considered an incident. If a nuclear physicist employed at a national lab or major university did this at home and was discovered they would probably lose their job. I just find it interesting that doing this is in some ways more accessible to the general public than to people who might have some reason to experiment with this without being nuclear chemists.
