My understanding was that there were some hard-to-impossible problems to solve to really accelerate the filesystem access from the Linux side under WSL1.

That meant that people doing disk-intensive workloads on the Linux side noticed a big slowdown compared to a native Linux system - certainly e.g. running a big test suite, or a git checkout felt really incredibly slow.

The switch to a VM flipped this relationship round - so now the formerly native / NTFS side is the second-class citizen, but you get the expected performance when putting your files on the "Linux side". For me (doing fs-intensive Rails development), this was a big win.

WSL2 will also quite happily gobble so much memory that Windows slows to a crawl (especially filling Linux's disk buffers on file copies) - that seemed like an odd default, - you just have to pop a .wslconfig in to restrict its usage.

I agree with the other posters here that the WSL1 approach seemed far more elegant, and probably the only way to "not see the joins"- with WSL2 we're worrying about filesystem boundaries _and_ memory now, probably forever. So I hope someone still working that nice seamless syscall layer for a future WSL3.
It's simply that some people engage in and encourage censorship, others call it out. That's the division.

As part of a university project we optimized a simple string to uppercase function via assembler analysis and asm. Directly optimizing the C code to produce more optimized assembly (notably removing branching) was nearly an order of magnitude faster.

// uppercase without if
*c -= (*c-'a'<26U)<<5;

Adding loop unrolling to that C-optimized version via asm provided another 20% performance boost. And I didn't even add vectorization using AVX.

While compilers provide a lot of optimization directly, there are huge performance gains in simple functionality by helping the compiler with easier to optimize code or by using asm directly.

Also notably the highest GCC optimization level I tested (-O3) reverted the optimization of the optimized C code, while -O2 kept them, resulting in -O2 being much faster. So only using asm guaranteed the performance gain.
one can argue that Sweden has a larger immigrant population than those countries. Majority of deaths in Sweden are from immigrant populations. They are blamed for not following the social distancing rules that most Swedens follow day to day. Also they are poorer, live in larger families in small houses etc. and it is harder for them to follow the rules.

I think this is true for almost any product nowadays that isn't in a ridiculously small niche.

I read it and thought it interesting and entertaining.

He missed out on one global hotel brand, though, which covers the whole spectrum of cheap lodging to shameless luxury and does so successfully.

Accor[1], offers the whole spectrum from Ibis Budget (used to be Formule 1 and ETAP) up to its Soffitel hotels and does so successfully.

Personally I'm a fan of Ibis. Their offer is consistent and while the rooms are small and cooky cutter generic the beds are always good and the bathrooms work. Plus, they are usually well located and relatively cheap.

So it is possible to have a successful budget hotel chain as part of your global brand and not even compromising your luxury offerings in the process.

That said: You won't catch me dead in an OYO hotel,after seeing a few of those dumps in Malaysia.

SMR has a terrible rep for a reason, and no one with any knowlege of what SMR is would buy which is why they have to be unethical by removing this spec from the spec sheets

SMR is cheaper for them to manufacture, and is TERRIBLE technology that really has very little actual use case, except Archive storage. The manufacturers want to push SMR for more than that because it is more profitable for them
another proposal:

_If, _Ifdef, _Ifndef

inside function macros

for example:

#ifdef SOME_CONST
#define WHATEVER(w, h, a, t, e, v, e, r) \
... common part ... \
... for SOME_CONST ... \
... common part continued ...
#else
#define WHATEVER(w, h, a, t, e, v, e, r) \
... common part ... \
... when SOME_CONST not defined ... \
... common part continued ...
#endif

With _Ifdef, the above could be written like:

#define WHATEVER(w, h, a, t, e, v, e, r) \
... common part ... \
_Ifdef(SOME_CONST, \
(... for SOME_CONST ...) , \
(... when SOME_CONST is not defined ...)
) \
... common part continued ...

With these, one could also do:

#define FACTORIAL(n) _If(n == 0, 1, (n) * FACTORIAL(n))
int f = FACTORIAL(6);

turns into:
int f = (6) * (5) * (4) * (3) * (2) * (1) * 1;

That would be very useful, I think. It might help with code duplication in function macros.

Maybe _Switch/_Case thereafter.

My understanding is AdSense is based on click-throughs and sales, which will be more reader-dependent than product-dependent.

AdSense tends to be only certain types of advertisers. I can't say that I've ever seen a concert ticket or movie advertisement in an AdSense window, but I've also been running ad blocking tools for quite some time now.

At larger revenue levels, a lot of advertising deals may be more direct. For example, perhaps a major band advertises their show dates directly with the Times. Bands are currently putting the kibosh on their tours, so all of that revenue goes to zero.

I don't think it's a myth so much as a misunderstanding of terminology. If an implementation defines some undefined behavior from the standard, it stops being undefined behavior at that point (for that implementation) and is no longer something you need to avoid except for portability concerns.

You're exactly right that this is why there is a distinction between conforming and strictly conforming code.

It's not that terrible if the customer knows what they're getting. It's just that SMR competes with tape more so than with conventional (CMR) hard drives. Many workloads are good enough for SMR.
For comparison, a typical flu season is 0.1%.

That is incorrect. The worst flu wave to hit Germany in the last 20 years, 2017/2018, killed appoximately 25000 people (excess mortality). That's 0.03%, and it's not typical. Often, the number is much lower.

Ask HN: Good tech sites with user submitted articles
Hello,
I am constantly on hackernoon.com reading user submitted content. And i have also submitted some which have been published.
I was wondering if anyone has other sites which are similar that you can submit articles to be published. But which the content is higher quality, reviewed and approved if good. As other sites i have found where anyone can submit and it is published without any standards/review process are not so good.

Figma is becoming the industry leader with its collaborative features. The drawback is that it's in the cloud.

Sketch was on the top spot for a long time for a reason, you can use it offline and it has a ton of integrations / plugins if you're heavy into workflow optimisation.

Adobe XD is fast and free but not widely used so I'd advise to use it only if you're solo on a project.

Not really. The requirements for monetisation are 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time in the last year.

I know many people on the platform who reached/far surpassed that without much in the way of video production/editing knowledge and no budget whatsoever.
And yet, so much software on modern CPUs takes seconds rather than milliseconds to perform and output simple calculations. Especially with the mantra "developer time is more expensive than computing power", few developers nowadays have recent experience of optimizing programs for sub-ms reaction times. You could probably make it work with standard hardware. But since developers have to be retrained for that field anyway, why not use hardware that's battle-tested and gives you more leeway?

In addition, the advantage of optimizing at every point is that you can use hardware not designed at the limit of what's possible, likely giving you lower error rates.

insurance companies simply refusing to insure anyone who did not manufacture boilers to their standards to clean up.

Something similar is needed now. Do you know why you cannot claim your covid-19 cancelled holiday from your insurance - because pandemics are not covered by travel insurance - do you know why? Because Re-insurance companies look at the likelihood of pandemics and simply refuse.

I think something different is needed - I think insurance is related to it. Basically we treat government as the insurer of last resort - but we have no real idea of the costs we are shouldering - or the risks we are ignoring.

So what if we had to have obligatory true cost insurance? Buy a house? great is it insured against flooding? Now you built on a flood plain like half of England. Fine your premiums are now twice the cost of your mortgage.
