Sure. Maybe the one the original thread author is talking about is garbage, but I'm willing to be charitable and accept he probably isn't an idiot and has done a bit of due diligence to check. So, assuming the patent in question isn't garbage, what I said stands.

That would still involve entering and leaving kernel mode, because timer alarms ultimately are triggered by a hardware interrupt (from e.g. the APIC timer or, in really old x86 machines, the 8254 programmable interval timer, aka IRQ 0). So IRQ -> switch to kernel timer IRQ handler (prologue saves all usermode registers) -> examine internal data structures, find pending alarm signal -> modify process state, pushing signal frame and setting RIP to signal handler -> return to userspace. That's probably slower than just Timer IRQ -> switch to kernel -> invoke scheduler -> decides to preempt, changes to new thread -> restore context, return to user space (but I'd be curious if someone actually measured).

Fundamentally, preemption has to originate from a hardware IRQ (or IPI from another core), so really the only way would be to kernel-bypass by setting an IRQ handler in userspace (ring 3). That's technically possible on x86 (IDT entry can have a ring-3 code segment) but I don't think the kernel has a mechanism for that...
This is overblown.

Android didn't always work like that. A few years ago it used to allow access to internal storage as soon as you unlocked the phone so if you ever used the phone while it was charging you would be exploited.

With how horrible phone makers are at updating things I would not be surprised if there was a significant number of old android versions hanging around.

Perhaps in an non-standard understanding of what is and isn't political. An apolitical office is political in the same sense that secularism is a religious stance. It's not catering to any specific religion: it is equally exclusive of all religions. Similarly, an apolitical office doesn't prevent or directly influence the political activity of workers - it just relegates that political activity to spaces outside the office.

> Saying "oh we should keep the office apolitical by not having a union" is a political act. Saying "oh we shouldn't complain about the kind of customers our emplyoer has" is a political act.

That isn't keeping politics out of the workplace - it's the exact opposite. That's explicitly bringing politics into the workplace by trying to tell coworkers what views they should have. Curbing this behavior is exactly what keeping politics out of the workplace is about.

> Acting in opposition to political acts is in itself a political act. The apolitical thing to do would be to _not intervene in others' political processes_. If mgmt let its employees organize labor actions with the same willingness as a movie night, then they would be acting apolitically.

For the third time, Keeping politics out of the workplace does not oppose any view. It's about making clear that the office is not a space for political activity. Yes, the apolitical thing is to not intervene in others' political process.

The reality is, bringing politics into the workplace is a very significant intervention in people's political lives. In the politically active offices I've worked in, plenty of employees feigned support for things they didn't support because they felt it was expected of them. Co workers whose views were part of the company majority dominated the conversation, because co-workers with minority viewpoints didn't want to risk repercussions for voicing unpopular views.

So if you want a company that does not intervene in others' political lives, keeping politics out of the workplace is the most effective approach.
Too many things. I tend to avoid my computer when away from the office. I do wood working with hand tools. I'm converting a shipping container into a shed for wood working. I play blues guitar. I build custom computer keyboards. I restore old bicycles.

> this turns commit signing on for every commit

My understanding is:

Entering a key passphrase each time is going to be annoying without providing benefit over just signing some git tag.

Leaving the key unlocked in an agent is going to be somewhat less secure than requiring the key to be unlocked on every use.

> github displays a little widget showing that the commits are signed, but beyond that I don't think it cares which public key they were signed with, so it's not really helping anything.

As I understand it, "verified" means it's either a commit made on GitHub's website with that user signed in, or the commit was signed with one of the keys associated with that user's profile.

I guess for the case of "I only trust commits signed by a certain key", you'd need to use a different GitHub profile.

> You can opt out of recaptcha by just boycotting the website which uses it.

Ah, I was waiting for somebody to make this argument, which I find somewhat disingenuous given how widespread reCaptcha's use is.

With sites I don't care about leaving them is exactly what I do - but there are sites I pay a lot of money to use, and can't really avoid using for business reasons, yet they still subject me to reCaptcha.

The path I've taken instead is to address this with the site owners. Most weren't really aware of how overreaching reCaptcha feels to some, and I've had good discussions. Of course nobody changed their site based on my complaint, but I like to think I raised awareness.

> But of course by "opt out" you mean to remain a user of a service but not the parts you don't like.

Specifically, a part of user verification. I'm still not sure why they feel they need to verify my humanity - they've got my credit card details and everything.

> Whether you are entitled to do this or not is still up for debate.

Let me ask the opposite question: is the owner of a website entitled to sell my privacy for their own (debatable) convenience?

Then native image may not be for you yet. Topline performance of native image is currently a lot worse than that of Graal compiler.

> Would be nice to use because scala generates garbage like it’s no tomorrow.

Then native image definitely isn't for you yet. The GC of native image is currently a lot worse than what you get with GraalVM / HotSpot.

One of the annoying things about Graal are there are a lot of different things all under the Graal umbrella. Also there are a lot of limitations of native image that people often don't talk about. These limitations basically make it not Java anymore. One person once summarized native image as, "even less Java than Android".

No it's not. It's literally any faction with hardline dogmatic views. An extremist faction that manage to kill all their opponents doesn't suddenly become non-extremist when they're the new majority.

I have seen the arguments for "why it's positive for them" and they're bullshit. They're using it to justify racism and corruption and to defend politicians on their own side that even break the law (like a certain raid of a certain meeting concerning classified information).

The correct way to prevent this would be to constrain the input and validate it on output -- so that users cannot enter anything that's not a hex value, and Slack won't send back anything that's not a hex value in the theme. Even limiting the length of the input (and output) would mitigate the issue to some extent...
Hennessy,Patterson "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" 6th edition
We will never know if it's just wishful thinking or not as Google chose the dark path and basically everybody hates them as much as FB. People still use their products as the're forced to, but are switching at the earliest occasion. So I don't know what the final result would be in the long run.
Sadly, that is just where Tesla is in terms of making replacement parts, the same holds true within the US.

Even getting parts to certified shops anywhere right now is particularly challenging, its is one of the reasons I think they aren't profitable yet--they have to pay for a loaner car.

They've made a ton of progress and can now mass produce S/X/3 with reasonable turn around, but with the recent production hell ramp up with 3, they had to direct all resources to those desposit holders and that meant slowing down part manufacturing for non deliverable sales.

The factory in Fremont is HUGE but near there is a body shop where you'll see a ton of S/X/3 waiting for parts to be shipped out. I honestly thought it was an auxiliary parking lot when I saw it.

What part of he Baltics? With Rimac putting its footprint down you'd think that area would be have more of a Market for EVs.
Maybe this will wake some people up. Up to now their mantra was "we're not doing anything illegal." Yes, it might not be illegal (at least not yet), but you're acting against the wishes and interests of your users, and you can clearly notice it when the same machine is used against you.
Mindfuck, Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America - Christopher Wylie.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke

18th century alternative history about two rivals restoring supernatural magic to the country, causing chaos, helping out in the wars with the French, and mostly hating each other. Very enjoyable, if rather silly read.

Merchants of Doubt - Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway.

If age hadn't brought enough cynism to my worldview, this tops it up nicely. Probably one of the most important books I've read. How some ex scientists, PR agencies and think tanks made a nice career selling doubt as a service to every dodgy industry going. Doubt and uncertainty on every important issue of the last 50 years. Tobacco and health, acid rain, fire retardants and climate heating among others. The same people giving the anti-science spin on multiple issues across decades, cropping up in papers and TV again and again.

Command and Control - Eric Schlosser

The misadventures, multiple accidents and cock-ups and safety - well lack of - surrounding nuclear weapons. After reading this you'll have no idea how one didn't go off over home or allied soil.
It is simply an audit trail to trace back to the origin, since anyone can set any email address as the author of a commit. GitHub will show the signature fingerprint I think when you hover over that widget, so you can at least distinguish between your key and an impostor’s.

I use this but it causes weird usability issues for me when using multiple iTerm tabs or git GUIs when the GPG daemon’s unlock timeout expires and I need to input my passphrase in again. I wish it could just be tied to the mac’s keychain, so when I unlock my computer it is ready to go. Or at least tie it into TouchID or Watch like unlocking the mac does.
There a bunch more things Apple could do to improve privacy they haven't done (yet?)

They could require for example that unless you're specifically making a browser (Firefox, Chrome, Brave) that your in app webview have a whitelist of domains it's allowed to contact. That would force apps to launch Safari (or better the user's choice of browser) for external links. As it is nearly every app that supports external links launches an internal webview in which they can track 100% of the activity (urls, net requests, login credentials, etc...)

They could require apps that are not specifically a camera app or audio creation app not get access to the camera or mic and have to ask the OS take pictures/video and select pictures via the OS photos app. That way less apps would be able to record things in secret or upload any/all your photos without permission.

They could disallow scanning wifi SSIDs except for network tools. Scanning SSIDs is used to figuring out a user's location with with GPS off. In iOS 13 they did add bluetooth permissions so apps can be denied scanning bluetooth to do the same but AFAIK they have not done the same for SSIDs. Not sure what that would require but would love it if they'd work on it

They could disallow using the network at a low-level except for network tools. As it is, AFAIK, any app can use the network however it likes including scanning home networks for devices with vulnerabilities. I'm sure there are implications for things like Chromecast and other IoT like devices but I'm sure there could be more privacy oriented solutions.
The "manual" for my portapow cable claimed to not even pass on that, but instead negotiate with the upstream and downstream, speaking several protocols.
Yeah, you definitely want a qualified therapist. As soon as you are facing individuals who are basing their help merely on intuition and life experience you are statistically on a really thin ice.

And even qualified people can be dead wrong. For example it's really hard to find competent help for adult high-functioning asperger spectrum depression patients (I've witnessed this).
We also purposefully do not extend that protection to literally everything distinct about a person. Even stuff like California's laws only protect employees from their employers when engaging in political action.

There's no universal legal protection against an entity responding to another person's general beliefs, if that entity consider those to be harmful.

We do not want to obstruct society from holding people accountable for harmful behavior.
I like differentiable programming a lot, but can anyone explain the motivation for Swift as their language of choice for this? I assume it was simply because they wanted to get Chris Lattner, and Swift was his baby. Julia seems like a much better target for this, I wish they had just dedicated some money or resources to that. I don't have a problem with Swift's language design per-se (although Julia's dynamic nature really lends itself more naturally to the sort of problems you might be trying to solve using differential programming, in my opinion) but its cross-platform support is terrible. Why would you choose Mac's boutique language as the foundation of your new paradigm?

Anecdotally one gets better quality reviews using `foobar review site:reddit.com` than any other method.

I think it makes sense from that angle but also from the angle that Germany is rich grounds for poaching people that are currently working for one of the other big car manufacturers. E.g. VW just opened a huge plant for producing their EVs in Zwickau which would about 300km away.

Brandenburg as a state is an interesting. Crucially, it's not the state of Berlin (Berlin is s city state within the German federation). That means access to lots of grants/subsidies and also that they are somewhat shielded from the chaotic governance in Berlin.

There are some costs to expand in European countries.
EU passed a law (GVO) in 2004 saying something like that: one can repair a car in any mechanic shop and still don't loose warranty.

Shop has to:
- have access to service manuals using Pass Thru - this is requirement on the car producer.
- document all repairs
- do the repairs in a way the producer documented them
Just to add EU view on "legal". This is highly illegal and it is criminal offense in same manner as wiretapping. You (as employer, even if you own employee computer) can get jailtime for this although hefty fine is more plausable.

Before employee leaves the company, its manager is responsible to get all the company data stored (by leaving employee) on another computer, then IT takes the computer and wipes all the drives, with at least two persons present.

I'm a programmer and used to spend my free time staring at a computer screen (whether working on personal projects, building websites and video games or playing video games) but then I realized this was taking a toll on my social life and both physical and mental health. Now I try to do something completely unrelated to coding (I still enjoy coding and do it occasionally but not nearly as much as before), for example cooking or fixing things or doing any work that is tangible. I play sports and go to the gym. It helps a lot with confidence and your dopamine levels which then motivates you to be more successful at other options things, like coding, or dating or just meeting new people.

In case people are interested in projects I've built, in the early beginning of learning full stack I was over ambitious and wanted to build a website that would help discover quality mobile games. The website is:

And yet bounds checking access validation was left out of the design, something that most of previous research projects took care to taint as unsafe packages when present.

Almost all of the abortion clinic bombers and shooters are self proclaimed Christians in the USA, as are most white supremacists - responsible for many attacks on synagogues in the USA including the recent Pittsburgh shooting. Also, Timothy McVeigh was targeting the large number of African Americans he saw working or in childcare at OKC federal building to try to start a "race war".
