System calls actually do return the result seperately from success or failure. It's libc that smooshes them into one thing.

Specifics vary by platform, but for FreeBSD i386, the result usually comes back in register EAX (but docs say sometimes another register), and the success or failure comes back as the carry flag. Of course, C never made access to the carry flag easy, so libc smooshes things together.

Confession time: if I'm doing something quick and disposable in raw HTML I still just throw in a <center> tag, because I can't be bothered to screw with CSS centering when I need something to just work, and right now.
Which works perfectly for this case: if the answer is yes, add it to output, otherwise skip.

This was a clip from Panorama, which has been particularly bad for this kind of thing. BBC News proper is not as bad.
As a Tolkien fan, Leonard Nimoy was among the first to correct people that Vulcans were nothing like Tolkien's elves. Among other things, it is said that Nimoy picked the distinctive Vulcan ear where the point is almost straight up specifically to differentiate it from usual book descriptions of elven ears.
I used to be very skeptical that changes to voting locations were motivated by animosity or an attempt to reduce the ability for minority voters to exercise their rights.

Since the Hofeller dump, it's very clear that there's an extremely intentional, well researched effort to directly impact minority voters.

I already agreed there was adaption. I just can't see how there can have been adaption for an _indoor_ life at northern latitudes. That's doubly hard, compared to a traditional life in northern latitudes, right? Although, to argue against myself, I guess if you go far enough north, people won't be getting any sunlight in the winter even if they are outdoors all the time. People there must have adapted to that. I guess by eating things with lots of vitamin D.
Plasma Desktop does.
If you ignore (as in fail to handle) an exception, your software dies safely, it won't do the wrong thing.

If you ignore or misuse error code, you carry on in a corrupted state.

1. KDE is not commercial AFAIK.

2. Windows was (is?) not coded in modern C++ but a bastard C or very old C++ from what I understand. Bugs were also mainly by third-party drivers and software. The industry for home user software had very bad quality, that’s is true, but that had nothing to do with C++. C, Fortran, Delphi and others were used too.

3. Videogames are in an industry where deadlines are more important than bugs and companies really don’t care about fixing stuff before release.

> For the cynical among us, these responses are probably aggravating.

I've been dealing with some support recently that leans heavily on the empathy. They're also proving to be useless at actually addressing my problems. This is a great combination for generating extreme frustration, particularly in a cynic like myself.

I may be alone in this, but I suspect maybe not.
There aren't many problems that go away just by being declared not-hard - or in extremis, not-a-real-problem.

Especially not by being declared not-a-real-problem by the problem itself.
> Do you think what's seriously lacking is, for some expert to sit down with H&P and gem5, implement a ton of modern features, analyze them, and write a big textbook about it along the lines of 'Practical Computer Architecture'?

That would certainly help. Another good step in the right direction would simply be taking a processor with a good mix of modern features and giving a guided tour. Everything is done by something, so show all of those somethings and how they're put together, and how they all fit together into a complete design.

Microsoft | DevOps Engineers & Software Engineers | Dublin, Ireland - ONSITE | Full Time

Microsoft Azure Global E2E^2 is hiring for two teams in Dublin, Ireland.

Both of the teams: the job says Senior, but we are hiring at all bands.

Team A:
The team is responsible for running workloads on Azure and using them to ensure the customer experience is a good one.
This role will be building out the infrastructure to collect the telemetry from these applications, and mine the data collected for insights into the Azure platform, and ensuring the whole system stays up and running so that the test workloads can keep pushing data in.
There will be an element of on call work - but the on call rota will be spread across 2 time zones, which means reasonable on call hours.

Experience in running a production high volume metrics ingestion system is a plus, along with a steady hand for when things break.

Team 1:
This team is responsible for building end to end tested reference architecture for Azure, and is currently working on a reference multi tenant container hosting platform based on Kubernetes (both AKS for in cloud, and upstream K8S for edge / remote sites). The aim is to open source the work.

Upstream open source experience (in any open source IaaS stack, or IaaS management tools like terraform / ansible) is definitely a plus, along with experience in regulated environments (banking, telco or government).

Both teams - apply using this advert: https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/785404/Senior-Softwa...

Elections are run by the states. Some states do vote by mail. https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/all-ma...
What we do in Norway is open the polling stations almost a month in advance so people can plan when to vote depending on their schedule.

You can also vote by mail before or go to the local "rådhus" or town hall and vote there in case you are going on a long trip/vacation.

The election day itself if a normal work day, but on this day no campaigning is allowed to prevent pressure outside of the polling stations by the political parties.

Culture Biosciences | Software Engineer | South San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Fulltime, INTERNS | https://www.culturebiosciences.com/

Write software to make cells grow in custom made robots! We're a 16 person startup, we build our own hardware in our own lab and we need a great addition to our software team of 3 to help keep the cells, robots, and customers happy.

This can involve writing software at all levels of the stack. No specific experience required other than writing good software and being curious.

I joined 13 months ago and I can not emphasize enough how much fun it has been. The people are kind and trustful, the environment is one of curiosity and exploration, and I always look forward to going to work.

I'm fairly confident that Motecs line of ECU products all have FPGA's internally. I vaguely remember taking apart an old M400 and it having an FPGA. Thankfully their ECU manager software abstracts that all away from you.
I disagree, voting by mail is easy and convenient - I still like and support polling places as a primary solution but online voting systems raise far too many questions around accountability and verification. And, while some good theoretical systems exist, it's anyone's guess which approach ends up being picked by the same politicians who have repeatedly gone for budget voting machines or those who have blatant conflicts of interest and have used voting machine selection to line their own pockets.

Voting is really important, if voting works we can theoretically solve a lot of other problems. But if we can't vote then the only solution we have is marching in the streets which will often lead to violence and destruction.
I've always subscribed to the theory that the true measure of a leader is what happens after they are gone.
Thanks! Took a while, but I got this working on Linux. Gave up on Windows, like with everything it never seems to work on Windows.

End result is 8.1MB for "hello world".
Those institutions are only as functional as the leadership.

If the leader cuts teams, prevents delegation and starves recruitment then it should be obvious that the end result is going to be something dysfunctional.

If you've ever been under incredibly bad management it's the exact same story. Management can destroy the value a team was previously generating, then get away with blaming the team for not doing enough for the company.

Interesting, our hot water heater is "tankless" and it hadn't occurred to me until this thread that this makes emergency prep a little more complicated.
> which seems, financially, like a wash.

How can that be? Replacement batteries are somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1/10 the cost of a new phone.
Very insightful read.
> Masks, as most people wear them, don't do much. They'd need to be custom fitted to ensure no "leakage".

Respirator is the correct and less-confusing term for the item you're referring to.

Everyone should probably wear a surgical mask, because it will help contain the virus to those who have it, and help keep it from spreading. That's what masks are designed to do.

Wearing a respirator is overkill for most people, especially for everyday use, and therefore should be avoided because of the supply problems. They also have the usage complexities you mention. The fit tests verify fit, and are used help choose a well-fitting mask. I'm not sure how often the tests force someone to choose a different type.

I'm not convinced respirators are useless for regular people though, if you're a high-risk person in a high-risk area (such as an elderly person visiting an ER), I think their use might be warranted (coupled with more important practices like strict hand hygiene, etc).
> TV like PBS mostly exist to entertain the egos and virtue signalling of a small number of major monetary donors.

There was a time in the past when you could find true educational content.

Imagine randomly channel surfing and running into this.

https://youtu.be/feBT0Anpg4A

But I agree with your point. You can watch PBS mindlessly. I used to geek out on the obscure, ephemeral nature of all the educational films they used to show. It was a guilty pleasure.
