The parent is referencing the "Kafka Trap", which I believe was originally coined on ESR's blog a decade or so ago. This rhetorical construction is used a lot in these kinds of discussions, and, because of its crudeness, is why people tend to get pretty bent out of shape during said discussion.

>One very notable pathology is a form of argument that, reduced to essence, runs like this: “Your refusal to acknowledge that you are guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…} confirms that you are guilty of {sin,racism,sexism, homophobia,oppression…}.” I’ve been presented with enough instances of this recently that I’ve decided that it needs a name. I call this general style of argument “kafkatrapping”, and the above the Model A kafkatrap.

it might very well kill the person you were responding to, or their loved one were they to bring it home.

supposing that's not a concern, and you're not emotionally impacted by the possibility of hundreds of thousands of additional deaths from this, most folks will be stressed out by having their routines disrupted.

Sampling cycle count or LBR with linux perf events is almost invisible to performance, maybe a 1% hit to throughput as a general rule. The problems come from languages where the PC is irrelevant, like Python, but nobody uses Python because it's fast, so using a python profiler like pyflame should be fine, even in production.

> Is it? Some of my friends went on to start successful companies after getting their PhDs. I'm a bit envious of them actually, I didn't have that option as my research was on an obscure topic with zero commercial potential.

Agreed, a PhD is absolutely not useless in this industry, even if you don't end up in the research community. Understanding where the research frontiers of various fields are and being able to quickly find / digest relevant technical papers feels like a superpower. The gap between an undergrad education and a research frontier is enormous, and only working on a PhD really gives you the time and incentive to cross it. Having done it once, it gets easier to do it again.

For me, it has turned a huge volume of "unknown unknowns" into "known unknowns" and equipped me with the tools to then convert those into "knowns". Without it I'd be a fine coder, sure. With it I can work on a different tier of projects, and direct my career much better.

The costs are very real, though. Giving up ~6 years of early career earnings in a high-paying industry is utterly insane; you will never, ever make it up short of your startup lottery ticket number coming up. It's a meat grinder for mental health. Dozens of things outside of your control can go wrong and torpedo your aspirations. It is the right choice only for a vanishingly small minority.
Pet peeve: programming sites behind Cloudflare protection with email address protection enabled, because we regularly have things with at signs in them that aren’t email addresses, which it mangles, ruining my standard no-JS experience:

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/[email protected]/http/server.ts";

I mean, std@0.50.0 is a syntactically valid email address, but… protecting email addresses on IP addresses? Why, Cloudflare, why?

Exactly. It's also completely contradictory to Google's Project Zero, where they expose security flaws in great detail publicly with the intention to educate users and devs to fix the issue and prevent it from happening again.

At the very least, Google should provide a way to contact an actual human - especially if the developer has 1M+ users.

4. Qualified professional, or oneself. The former to ensure it is done correctly both morally and medically, the latter to prevent suicides being so negative. Though there should be a legal obligation to intervene where possible in a suicide and a legal protection from intervention when the professional is acting.

3. Yes; though only conditions that result in a loss of mental capability or communication should be part of an advance request. Reason: an advance will reduce the standard of investigation required by the professional to "do they meet the conditions of their advance directive", but at the time the directive is made it is unlikely that the person is a valid suicide candidate, so fewer checks and balances can be in place.

2. There should be no white or blacklist to assisted suicide. The person should only have to meet certain criteria along the lines of - they have tried to live with their reason, they have no realistic positive treatment options, etc.

1. As 2

The overarching reason is that your life is your own. But this is tempered by the fact that people are all limited in experience and knowledge, and as a society we should act to help each other make the most out of it.

This is why, despite being wildly in favour of assisted dying and suicide in my own country, I am a lot less keen to see my unrestricted flavour in other countries, countries who do not look after the other members of their society; countries who have debtors prisons and predatory medicine are places where open suicide laws will be used to escape the hell of their tormentors instead of overthrowing it.
This is grossly under appreciated. And this is why server machines and sustained performance remain one of Intel’s strengths, and despite the number of ARM developers out there, ARM hasn’t managed more than a toehold in the server market. Nobody has designed an ARM CPU for that kind of workload.

Intel hardly has an impregnable lead in this regard, but I expect AMD to get noticeable server market share before any ARM part does.

Yeah I can't comment much on how long a JS engine would take. You could start using V8 I guess, but I would think using an existing JS engine inside a game engine might by tricky because they seem complex. JS the language is easy to create a parser for, and that might be what you really want to be custom in order to do other things in between the JS code. Maybe try looking for stripped down JS engines that have source code to see how hard it is. I'm also assuming you will code this game with C++ for performance, but maybe a JS/HTML game could leverage V8 from the browser, if that was your initial thinking.

Am I correct in saying that functions written in C do not get pre-empted like Erlang functions? If that is true, you could write computationally intense code in C within a BEAM app.

They cannot be pre-empted, but they must also return quickly, or risk causing lots of problems (see https://erlang.org/doc/man/erl_nif.html for slightly more detail on what this means). As such you can't just write some big function in C to do number crunching.

The NIF documentation mentions some ways around the problem, but all of them take some effort, or have tradeoffs of some sort. I was really excited when “dirty” NIFs were introduced, which can tell the BEAM that they'll run for a while, thus appearing to allow for long-running NIFs with no extra work other than setting a flag. However, it turns out that the BEAM just spins up N threads for scheduling dirty NIFs, and if you have too many such NIFs, too bad, some won't get scheduled till the others have completed. In retrospect it should have been obvious that there couldn't be a silver bullet for this problem, because it really isn't easy.

Erlang may well be my favorite language, but as you imply, it's just not going to be the right approach for everything: in my experience, it's absolutely fantastic in its niche but that niche is quite small. I think that's fine, though. For me, where Erlang does make sense, its concurrency approach makes it unbeatable, and I'll live with the performance tradeoffs. It turns out that basically all the NIFs I've had to write were just to gain access to functionality that Erlang doesn't expose (e.g. network namespaces on Linux, which are supported now, but weren't when I needed them).
I believe it should be legal. If a person is committed to it for an extended period they should be able to do it. It should not be a quick process obviously given that a lot of suicide attempts seem to be calls for help. If you are able bodied you can do it anyways so the current ban only really applies to a minority anyways which seems pretty unfair. Bad enough for them that they are going to have to follow some external process but that seems unavoidable we cannot have people killing others with a signed death wish note.

If death is medically certain and the person is only trying to escape a painful death this would be a hindrance. In this scenario it feels hard to have any due process unless you decide it beforehand. When my father in law died he didn’t want morphine because he was correctly assuming it would kill him. At one point though he was willing to make that trade off though. He would not have wanted this before he was really trying to hang on even through the pain until he wasn’t. In such cases I feel you should have a right to pain management even if it jeopardizes your life. But in this situation where you are deteriorating in the hospital a legal System style procedure would not help you at all.
Awesome. Now, FISA warrants can continue to be used without oversight to spy on Americans!! Goooo team! And who wants to do this?? These guys! yaaaaay!

It is an intelligence community convention to write codewords in ALL CAPS to differentiate them from the normal use of the same word. This doesn't indicate that they are acronyms. The appearance, though, combined with the fact that they are often in mixed use with acronyms, leads to a tendency for people to make up expansions of codewords which aren't intended to have one. Codewords were intentionally selected to have little if any relationship to what they describe.

To further muddy the waters, the military is just as fond of writing things in all caps as the intelligence community is, but they usually actually are acronyms or abbreviations. In contrast to TEMPEST consider PAVE PAWS, which is an acronym, and USSPACOM, which is abbreviation.

As a Bernie supporter, I'm disappointed by his lack of a YES vote. We at least deserve a statement. I'm going to suggest a potential explanation, but I'm still disappointed by the lack of vote and/or statement.

Based on how Patty Murray (D) has said she would have voted YES but wasn't able to get to DC in time, it's clear it was never going to pass to begin with. This happens often – someone like Mitch McConnell might whip the votes, realize they're ahead, and allow a few Republicans that are at-risk to vote YES to provide cover for them in the future. Remember, even if you count the two Independents as Democrats, there's still 6 more Republicans. We've seen this with Susan Collins a lot; if Republicans don't need her vote she'll vote against them. But when they need it, she votes with the party like clockwork.

So, now we get to be mad at Sanders and Murray (the Democrats who weren't in DC), and nobody blames the 37 Republicans who actually killed it. Remember that McConnell decides what is voted on, and he always knows the votes. Maybe the one exception ever was McCain saving Obamacare.

I feel certain Sanders would have voted YES. He's historically been mostly pro-Snowden, anti-surveillance, and pro-whistleblowers (it's nuanced; for example he thinks Snowden should be prosecuted but also thinks what he did was right and that he should get a plea deal).

(Not the point, but it's insane Senators have to be physically present, especially given the situation. At least one Senator missed the vote due to quarantine. Why are we making a 78 year old man physically fly to DC to vote, and do so in a chamber full of at least one person who has had COVID-19 recently?)

Like I said, I'm still disappointed we haven't even gotten a statement from Sanders yet. But this whole thing has been on my mind a lot today.
