How many times has that actually happened though? I talk to designers all the time who say some variation of this but have literally never done any of those things.
Just a guess here, but I'm thinking it has something to do with the registers being an internal core component of the CPU that have been there in some form the whole time whereas cache was a little more of an afterthought when CPUs and other processing units stopped being the bottleneck and started to significantly outstrip the performance of (practical/affordable) memory and memory controllers. It used to be that the memory sub-systems had artificial wait states as the processors could not keep up otherwise, rather than processors siting around waiting for responses.

Also, cache is essentially optional, and its configuration (not just sizes, but how it is shared amongst cores and other units, speeds relative to other memory levels, even how many levels there are (and each level can have different properties) how cache rows are arranged and mapped, their size, ..., etc.) can and will vary between otherwise identical looking systems. If you are compiling to optimise for cache use you end up either having to JiT compile, or compile several versions of some routines and include them all so which one is used can be chosen at run-time, or have different versions of the whole compiled output for different systems. All of those things happen at times anyway for other reasons, but presumably the overall pay-off of doing the same for cache variances isn't high enough for it to be worthwhile building into general purpose compilers (though the cases for/against this sort of work in domain specific compilers and other tool chains may be quite different).

Some designs argue that we shouldn't need to care about the implementation details of any memory let alone L1/2/3/? cache - just access storage and let the OS & hardware make use of the faster memory levels it has access to as it sees fit to optimise that storage access.
They should ban ads for prescription drugs that cannot show through double-blind testing that they are more effective than cheaper branded or generic drugs.

As a European I've definitely received fakes from amazon.DE. But I find the game reviews much more bothersome. Most products I now buy somewhere else but living abroad it's difficult to get everything I 'expect' so sometimes Amazon is the only way (eg i bought a 20l bucket on paint from a German Amazon seller that has a real store, as the branded version including shipping of the heavy thing was 30€ less than the cheapest product I could find locally.
Sure, but it's also not particularly useful. Obviously you need access to guns to use them, so it just serves to distract from the other issues. If guns weren't available but everything else lined up, would bombs be used instead? That would require a couple of other things to line up, but it doesn't prevent the problem.

I want to know why these mental issues arise and how we might go about preventing them. I imagine there are more similarities between suicides and mass shootings than the media admits, yet the former gets mentioned with mental health while the latter focuses on access to guns.

We need to figure out how these mental health issues develop and find ways to solve them before they become a public problem. Maybe that means controlled, legal access to psychedelics, idk, but we need more than a copout of "gun control will solve everything". Maybe gun control is part of the solution, but it's certainly not the only part.
That's too charitable. I wouldn't accept the vetting of any football-related news by a journalist who referred to the NFL as a "ball management organization."
Funny enough, I kind of like it better - the way that the enter key changed in and out of a ``` block would always screw me up and I'd end up sending messages before I wanted to, and then instead of bugging someone for 1 message I have to send 3 with the middle being "sorry, hit enter too soon".
It's not a problem here.

That is certainly true but these theoretical concepts don't seem to have obvious/tangible benefits at first, so it is very understandable that many who are self-taught wouldn't know much about them.

As Racket CS slowly improves towards matching the mainline implementation, those results can give the impression that Racket CS is slow. To put things in context, look where Racket was already at in comparison to another very dynamic language, Python:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

I don't know how to directly compare Python 3 and Racket CS on that site, but comparing three ways paints Racket CS in a more favorable light. Hopefully Racket CS will close the gap with Racket, but it’s already doing pretty great relatively... unless we compare to SBCL, Rust, Haskell, etc.

Aye. I've been reading on a long line of Sony Readers since 2005, and currently use a PRS-350 that I'm preserving as long as I can (I never liked Kindles). It's only a replacement for a stack of novels or other such books I intend to read cover to cover, probably once and once only. I've read over a thousand books on it, got a couple of dozen stacked up in there at any one time ready to go.

My paper book library has increased every year; novels I want to own on paper (sometimes more than one copy), books received as gifts, technical books, art books, picture books, language books, reference books, mathematical text books, graphic novels (and indeed, some things that clearly are "comics"), a significant number of books that simply aren't available in electronic form (and I probably wouldn't want in electronic form anyway - if I'm buying a book from the 1800s I want the physical artifact!), more and more.

At the moment, the only benefit I see to the Sony Reader is that it's very lightweight and compact for a stack of 12 novels. That is a very serious benefit and it's a real lifesaver for travelling, but inside the house I'm paper all the way. The only problem I have with them is that I'm genuinely running out of space to put them. Every bookshelf is two (or even three deep) with books, and I've lost one desk entirely to books piled three to four feet deep. There is a real chance that I might end up finally giving up on renting purely to buy a house in which I can turn a couple of rooms into decent book storage.
Or just shadowban them. Make it so they can see their own reviews, and the seller can see them, but nobody else. After some set time like a day or a week.

That would cause a lot of problems for the business model described.
It's really hard to beat living and working in San Francisco. Having lived here a few years I find costs highly overstated for single people.

e.g. some costs:

Studio in Lower Haight (water + trash included): $2100/month
Utilities: $50
Monthly Muni: $81

Groceries are no more expensive than anywhere else. Eating out is similar vs other cities I've been to, and if anything the quality of the food is better here at the mid price range.

If I lived in a smaller or mid-sized city there's a good chance I would have to get a car, so any savings in terms of rent would just go to owning and maintaining a car.
It has always been difficult for me to track all petty expenses, such as coffee, a new T-shirt or a haircut. But at the same time, it is very important for me to know how much money I have in each period of time. I used a lot of expense tracking apps, but usually I forgot to add something, and as a result, the actual balance in 99% of cases does not match with balance inside the app, so every month I added the correct results to the money trackers manually. Also, money trackers usually show Expenses / Income, but I wanted to find out how much money I had just last month, and now, to see the difference in the total amount. I did this in Excel, but then the idea came to me to create an application for these purposes without additional functions, so that people can spend only a few minutes a month, but get excellent statistics about their overall financial balance.

Do you track all of your expenses daily? Do you track your net worth somehow? What applications or services do you use?

where do you get the idea that populations will slowly move uphill?

The effects are non-linear. What you see is that Bangladesh goes from being a habitable city one year to one which is underwater 1/4 of the time, look at the massive floods there this year. Next year might be dry, but the year after that? It is already not sustainably habitable, but the people still live there.

China (noting that most of their industrial cities are coastal) might have a bit more time, but it is going to mean rebuilding all of the infrastructure they have built--where do the resources come from for that?

And another question, before the people move, are they going to clean up all of their toxic waste? If not, it all goes into the water with the flooding, which then kills their uphill livelihood because they live next to a huge pool of poison.

Fuck, after the hurricane hit Texas, they decided to scrap environmentally sound cleanup because it was "too expensive given the scale of the loss." If the US can't clean up, why would developing countries?
Yes, and following this logic, anything can be called editable. A binary file is 'editable' with enough work. The point is that PDF is the format used to disseminate private information to multiple and disparate parties with the confidence that will all receive the same informtion, and cannot (reasonably) change that document.

That's why it's used in marketing for things like lookbooks and elsewhere for things like contracts, that are read-only by design and should never be edited by anyone but the entity that wrote it in the first place.

I've wondered this as well.
Unfortunately that’s only half good. It’s more typical to measure peripheral latency by connecting an LED to the switch to see when it’s actuated. This person performed an Apple 2s to oranges measurement by not controlling his keypress speed and not testing the Apple 2. The conclusions are based on feelings. Keyboard electronics are simple so short of severe mistakes they add negligible latency. HIDs are connected to interrupts so the OS should get the input pronto. The insanely large software stack will slow things down, but it isn’t the keyboard’s fault.

Edit: to exemplify the issue with this test: a poorly implemented capacitive touch keyboard would add 10 ms of latency and feel sluggish yet would be at the top of this chart.
Also give us access to all the ads being run. Part of the insidious nature of microtargeting ads is they get seen by few people outside the community so you have no idea what's being said to respond, rebut or correct.

I don’t know but the “falsehoods developers believe about x” drives me batty. Such a shit headline.
Yes, that's exactly right! As we were developing the early versions of our homepage that's exactly how we used it. I just synced down a Google Drive folder and hacked away on code and images. Derek could check out the progress anytime he wanted by visiting the URL. Basically, our homepage was always live while we were developing it - great for our MVP.

Now that the homepage codebase is more mature and we have more people working on it, we just created a GitHub repo in that same folder. Now whatever I'm working on is deployed to fastdev.imfast.io and then when I commit to the master branch of the repo, it's synced to fastio.imfast.io (which is connected to our domains Fast.io, Fast.app, Fastio.com etc..). I have a password-protected private dev site, but I'll keep that one to myself for now :D

The problem with divide and conquer is that the finished product has to be back in one piece that makes sense. Often times the act of `divide` also reduces context for what conquer actually is.

Plus `divide and conquer` is used like a task you need to do with the goal of finishing, but Sprints never quite get to the end of the conquer phase, generally it's divide, and conquer...some tasks, and then divide in some more... and more... and more. You end up losing all sight of what you are actually trying to do or make.

The only way to fix sprints in a small to medium size company that exists and is shipping products is to realize that they should be tied to a set series of tasks and that every now and then you really need a stop point where you can take a week or two, define what your goals, needs, and issues are for the next 6 weeks or so, and then start anew with a clean backlog and roadmap with full buy in from the developers of what they are making. Otherwise you just turn developers into ticket pushers for tickets that they themselves do not understand, or have any context to understand why they are doing them. It's depressing and causes burnout and bad products. It's a symptom of the hustle culture bleeding into development and a lack of understanding that having long term end goals and sustainable pace is healthy to good products rather than `move fast and break things`.
Last I checked, Iran effectively requires all public connectivity to go through one of its state-owned ISPs (via BGP) - you can see routing for these yourself, virtually every single AS assigned to Iran will be upstreamed by Telecommunication Infrastructure Company or Information Technology Company (ITC) or something like that.

Just pull routes or down your sessions and no more internet.

Microsoft's P/E ratio is a bit nutty. Investors are expecting big things.
The fame reviews are mostly easy to spot (although of xours sits impossible to know which ones you didn't spot...) - eg that they have photos is for me a clear indicator of fakes. But even if you actually recognise them, it wastes your lifetime and makes it more difficult to find authentically good products - in particular in the areas with high competition where you have fake positive and fake negative reviews (paid for by competitors), eg robot vacuums.
I would if they cited their sources so I could verify their claims for myself. In my eyes it's OK for the journalist of an article like this to not to be an expert in the field, but they should be able to provide a somewhat coherent summary of a topic and allow readers to perform their own analysis on the parts they care about.

I'm currently working on an app using PouchDB, and the approach I've taken is using one database per "project" in my app. I'm not there yet, but I'll use another database to manage users & access control. These aren't things you want to sync anyway; I might even end up with a regular SQL database for this (I haven't decided yet).

I hope this approach avoids most of the pitfalls you mentioned.

Your Git analogy is also spot-on, but I think you don't take it far enough. Creating a repo is cheap, and I believe CouchDB databases are, too (altough I'm still very new at this). You seemed hesitant to create too many.

Good point about notifications, though. I think you'll still have to have a server process that manages that kind of thing (and probably inserts notifications in other users's databases).

We could discuss what it means to give a neutral perspective, but I don't think that would get us anywhere to be honest.

The last discussion about that has been with fundamentalists that had a similar critique about neutrality.

We could also talk about how feasible it is to achieve neutrality. But that wouldn't be the point in most cases.

In secular education for example neutrality has a specific meaning. That pupils are to be empowered to make choices and that views are not imposed on them. End of story.

It isn't that hard to transfer these principles to journalism. Does journalism try to inform as best as possible so people can make better decisions? Or should they be nudged towards certain perspectives.

The former variant would be the neutral approach. Pretty simple if you think about it.
Well then they leave and you have no developers to fix the old bugs
What's left out is the industrial output of China -- which is probably producing for much of the EU and USA. It takes power to produce cheap phones and plastic knick-knacks for western consumers. The fact that the Chinese economy will adapt to meet these demands is inevitable. What is the coal output per capita, subtracting industrial output dedicated to exports to the US/Eurozone -- this would be a more fair assessment.
I believe it, because pretty much everywhere is like that in my experience

If you're a weirdo like myself who has no idea how to flirt, your best bet may be to simply be as open as you can about your feelings. People generally like openness, and they like it when people like them. I've told friends that I was in love with them, and in cases where the feelings weren't mutual they let me know, and I dropped it. I'm married to the one where they did turn out to be mutual. :P
