For WASM, there ought to be a package-management/registry mechanism for installation (unless there is already? It might get complicated, but would seem a good idea to reuse code/plugins.)... or as below, there ought to be some caching priority mechanism.

Then for HTML assets (and CSS ones too), perhaps a hint on asset-linking tags (a, script, link, img, audio, video, etc.) there ought to an offline-priority attribute to help the browser decide what to throw away when clearing cache the regular way or evicting items from the cache, while being able to leave some things deemed vital when not nuking the entire cache. Yes, websites could be goofy and game caching mechanisms, marking everything "vital" like for 0-pixel image cookies but I'm sure someone would make an "RBL" (real-time blackhole list) system of which priorities on which websites to ignore.

Related aside: There's a lot of common frameworks, libraries and bits that could be cached user-side, with the trick either to a) herding web devs to de-fragment their CDNs, which could create SPoF's or b) changing the standard allowing multiple SRCs or HREFs for high-availability/less bitrot to preserve both choice and encourage de-duplication of common assets.

Yeah, I don't think you're getting what I'm saying either.

My point is that this is a very untrustworthy person who is currently being sued and will likely be sued again, marrying a person who is super wealthy. This is clearly a situation where an ironclad prenup is warranted.

As to the specific legal/financial implications: if she continues to lie about things in her civil or criminal trials, she could end up incurring further liabilities — during the marriage — that could put marital property at risk. Or she could defraud other people, again putting marital property at risk. It would be a good idea to cordon off as much as possible to keep it from being attachable by her current/future creditors.

But honestly, I have no idea why anyone would take issue with my original comment: The dude needed a prenup, he probably paid a lot, and it was probably worth it. Why pick nits?

And I say this as a (former) lawyer, who appreciates nuance and getting things right.

> I've pointed this problem out early last year to libsodium, but they chose to ignore it.

I'm guessing you're referencing this [0]. libsodium's response that your suggestion wasn't enough seems reasonable, as does their response:

> `sodium_memzero` should be considered as best-effort, with reasonable tradeoffs.

The documentation for memzero [1] doesn't read like it works 100% of the time, no matter what. It reads like there are tradeoffs involved.

> My memset_s does a full memory barrier, but no others do. Esp. the so-called "secure" libs.

Your memset_s also doesn't work on big endian, whilst "the so-called 'secure' libs" often do.

I'm fine with self-promotion, but don't disparage efforts that have a much larger surface that they deal with, simply because you disagree with the tradeoff they find acceptable. A one-liner isn't enough for that conversation.

Where I live (Los Angeles), all the lanes are filled all the time. There is no passing lane, so it doesn’t matter which lane you drive in. The skill that is important for drivers to have is the zipper merge, because those are happening all the time as fully utilized lanes merge and split.

I am actually usually pretty impressed with LA drivers. Most respect the zipper merge.
I just spent a few days looking for server hard drives.

I am not quite sure I understand your point. Renewable electricity has the potential to be the most resilient form of energy we have ever had. You can already generate enough electricity for a typical home by putting solar panels on the roof. The main issue is storage but that is mostly an issue of cost not technology. For about 10-15k you can get enough storage to get you through a multi-day outage. And for double that you could probably go off-grid entirely.
When I shuck drives like these, I frequently find the higher quality models of drives in there. However, I have heard that they bin their drives and the drives that don't pass muster for enterprise end up getting used in these external drives.

While I'm prepared to believe you, looking at my comment it doesn't seem that way to me. Out of interest, which damning conclusion do you think I've reached about the OP?

I've avoided saying anything about whether the OP is right about whether their tech lead is an idiot.

The only conclusion about the OP I see is "The poster thinks the tech lead is in idiot partly based on the fact the tech lead doesn't close as many tickets as juniors."

I think that's a simple implication from the OP writing "he is not very productive — our junior engineers are lapping him on tickets closed".

All the rest of my comment is about how an interviewer might likely think if that were said in the manner discussed; it's not about the OP.

> Conservatively, a mmwave base station has a range of about 1,500 feet,

At what speed? If that's just the range at which it stops being an upgrade over current LTE speeds, that's really unimpressive. The figure of interest here is the range at which mmWave can reliably sustain WiFi-like performance, including enough aggregate capacity for gaming to still have low latency when all your neighbors and one or two of your family members are streaming video.

> That should tell you a lot about how expensive that next increment is.

Not really. Cable companies are upgrading their networks by replacing some of the coax in the ground with fiber, as necessary to get enough backhaul bandwidth to each node. The incentives there are wildly different than for a new ISP that's either deploying FTTH or short-range cellular, without having access to pre-existing last mile wiring that has no trouble carrying gigabit to each customer. For wired infrastructure, digging the trenches is a lot more expensive than the materials cost for whatever you're putting in the trenches.

Tips to Adapt to Tech in Everyday Life
Excellent resource on this topic: Sustainability Without the Hot Air by David MacKay, a Caltech-trained Oxford physics professor. Free download: http://www.withouthotair.com/Contents.html.

In the article on Scotland, however, not one word on the most safe, economical, immediately available, and effective technique: reducing consumption. Trying to reach sustainability without lowering consumption feels like trying to make a company profitable without considering lowering costs. I haven't visited Scotland, but most Americans could reduce their energy consumption 75% or more purely improving their lives before any challenging decisions.

---

A short description by MacKay of his book:

"Sustainable Energy - without the hot air" presents the numbers that are needed to answer these questions:

- How huge are Britain's renewable resources, compared with our current energy consumption?

- How big do renewable energy facilities have to be, to make a significant contribution?

- How big would our energy consumption be if we adopted strong efficiency measures?

- Which efficiency measures offer big savings, and which offer only 5 or 10%?

- Do new much-hyped technologies such as hydrogen or electric cars reduce energy consumption, or do they actually make our energy problem worse?

Wherever possible, I answer these questions from first principles.
- For shopper, irrelevant search == high cost, switching retailers == low cost

Is this backward?

I can answer this! It has nothing to do with raid controller quality so much as NVMe doesn’t go to a disk controller. It lives on the PCIe bus itself.

In IDE, SATA, SAS, you wire up to RAID. In NVMe, you skip the raid controller.

So you can still RAID, but it’s either software or some device with a “private” bus like those PCIe cards that hold 4 m2 sticks. Or IDK how others work.

I just know for Enterprise right now, you get NVMe -OR- RAID. Sucks because I had some screaming drives picked out super cheap but had to ditch them in favor of slower SAS drives. But... those slower and smaller SAS drives in RAID10 will be faster than the RAID1 NMVe plan I had.
Not sure how accurate this is.

methane leaks are real bad, though. And solar means we can put generation closer to consumption, so we need fewer long-haul lines.
Students? You're proposing we track students? It says something that the first example that's used (not just you, I've seen it many times elsewhere, too) is that we track the only group of people who by-and-large cannot consent, and not only that, but in a way that has permanent implications for their right to privacy.

Further, the idea of facial recognition being used in every store is atrocious. Not only can they track you online, now advertisers and the government can track your offline spending habits and location at all times, too!

Why hasn't anyone proposed a use for facial recognition that isn't:

1. Useless (like it is in iOS)

2. Completely scummy (like it is in both of your examples)

3. Using it to increase surveillance on populations that cannot legally offer consent in any way, in areas that they're forced to go to?

I kind of expect it here on HN, given how large of a proportion of adtech and other surveillance-oriented employees there are here, but I see it everywhere, and it's just confounding.

German speaking countries(apart from Switzerland) also don't pay their developers particularly well either as unlike US/UK/Eastern Europe they artificially cap salaries instead of letting the market dictate so of course they don't like people switching jobs as they have to pay more to stay competitive, even managing to convince their developers that €80k is a top salary while their counterparts in Warsaw and Bucharest make that or even more. German/Austrian devs are severely underpaid.

Also, unlike UK/US, they have this nasty habbit of not mentioning their salary range/hiring budget in job ads to low ball you during negotiations.

Saying technological changes don't subvert the underlying structure of a concept is like saying war didn't change after the introduction of gunpowder or flight.

These technological changes add additional dimensions, they may not radically change the initial structure but they lead to radically different outcomes than anticipated which society doesn't have to accept.

Yeah, a coherent privacy model, disclosure etc are all super important. It's just irritating to see people act like software of this type can rationally be shipped without any telemetry to a big group of users who aren't compiling it from source.

Naturally a ton of work has to go into properly designing telemetry for something like Firefox or Chrome - not only is disclosing URLs a no-go, but you need to make sure your telemetry isn't unintentionally exposing details that are identifying in some other fashion, like on-stack data from a crash report or that sort of thing.

Unfortunately, with event loops and async programming, including async-await models, cancellation is just as fiddly and needing to be explicitly handled by client event handlers/awaiters.

For example, think of JavaScript and its promises or their async-await equivalent.

There is no standard, generic way to cancel those operations in progress, because it's a tricky problem.

All of hardware is tradeoffs.

A huge L1 would be slower to access. You might end up slowing down all memory accesses by a cycle (or more) just for accessing the large cache. You also have to find some place to put the thing in your floorplan, and route everything else around it. This may result in timing challenges in other parts of the chip, which might require additional delay to resolve.

A huge L1 would take up more space. This would increase area, reduce yield, and increase cost. Since in a multi-core chip each core has its own L1, you will have to pay this cost multiple times. Also, L2 caches are typically inclusive, so you would potentially need a much larger L2 to be able to accommodate all the extra information in these L1s.

These tradeoffs have to be studied with simulated experiments to make the right call. For programs with huge working set, maybe the added latency pays for itself because you have have fewer cache misses. For programs with good locality, maybe you end up losing performance. Maybe you save power by reducing misses, or maybe you waste more power because the cache is using more power. Maybe it's an insignificant area increase, or maybe it completely blows up your budget.

It was built in a single day of running across the street between coding in a coffee shop, and testing the product on the microwave in seven-eleven.

It is actually just a mobile-first (mobile-only?) single page web app.

Built using no JS framework, has no build stage, or server side code. Uses Bootstrap for templating, and a lot of hacky vanilla JS code to quickly create this MVP.

We use the Web Audio JS API to listen for pops using device's microphone. The pop detection logic is as follows: if the current microphone sample volume is 10 times higher than the average of the last 6 samples of volume, it is a pop.

The logic on when to stop the microwave is as follows: first wait for 5 pops with less than 1 second in between them. We call this the "peak popping stage". Then we wait for either 3 pops with longer than 1.5 seconds in between. or 3 seconds without a single pop. We fine tuned the parameters with a lot of testing.

Hope this helps people avoid burnt or unpopped popcorn, and enjoy perfect microwaved popcorn every time.
0. Is this significant because the FDA was institutionally-(/culturally-)against phage therapies because the Soviets went that way rather than antibiotics? Does anyone know how much of a hurdle that is still?

1. Isn't it the case that resistances to phages should be perhaps (an) order(s)-of-magnitude less likely for prokaryotes and fungi to evolve resistances compared to static compounds like antibotics/antimycotics because phages are probably the most abundant "almost life" parasitizing other microbes in the wild?

2. Are we any closer to computational molecular-level engineering of custom antigens against any particular pathogen?

3. Although probably tiny, is there a risk of horizontal gene transfer between phages and other pathogens?
