Why do majority of people here hearing slave thinks about black people? "Slave" comes from Latin where it initially meant a Slavic person. Northern African slave traders, Turkish jasyr slaves, slavery of eastern European women (Slavic and Jewish) sold to brothels in South America are also all but forgotten. Racism is disgusting in any form but limiting slavery to only America is also racist.
This dude is the absolute worst. His brand is taking the platitudes of a "wellness influencer" and applying it to tech and investing. He uses logic/rhetorical fallacies to say things that sounds smart/deep that dont say anything. He also, anoints himself at every turn.

He's a walking manifestation of the reputation tech has built as being elitist and out of touch.
Nothing is impossible, but has anybody done it since 2000 starting from scratch? AMD obviously has been at it from the start, Cyrix, VIA, NEC all did it but any since Intel CPUs started being in the tens of millions of transistors?
Isn't Swift limited to just a few platforms?

It seems that it's not available both for the largest desktop platform, Windows, and for the largest non-desktop platform, Linux on ARM (https://swift.org/blog/swift-linux-port/ says "Currently x86_64 is the only supported architecture on Linux.") i.e. all the IoT devices which need code in a "systems language" and Android phones.

How good is it for machine learning? I'm currently using julia which I also really enjoy.
Take the beam out of your own eye maybe?
No. Delivery is free right?

(But yes because it isn't.)
I think programmers spend a lot of time searching for solutions online and making that process more intuitive will be a huge win for everybody haha.
I love how young computer people are just like young car people. "My VTEC is connected to my NOX and can run with super high compression, yo!"
I wonder which community you’re talking about. My experience is rather positive. The infamous Rust evangelization task force is just a bunch of fanbois to put in your killfile.
How excessive! Ed (the standard text editor) has only one error message: ?

I talked about (very real) CPU bugs in another comment. Or worse, rowhammer. Computers are eventually physical reality, yes.

But the vast majority of security problems don’t usually rely on CPU bugs, do they?
They are? * { animation-play-state: paused !important; transition-duration: 0s !important; }
if that's the case, then only a team lead / most senior dev should have prod secrets. and I would prefer to be very low tech in terms of secrets management.

definitely not passing secrets in ENV (cause any process can access ENV and exfiltrate) or as command line argument (cause they will be logged as all tty commands are)
It might also indicate that a lot of the projects that Rust would be a great fit for tend to live for a long, long, time. That slows down market penetration, regardless of how much better it is.
OK, well, let's reply more "in depth" to your comment.

> Very misleading headline.

It's hard to know what a better headline would be. It does cover quite well what the content of the original paper is asserting, and while it's not exact that the utterance we transcribe as "huh" exists as exactly that in all human languages, nevertheless, they cover that question in the paper, and the sense of their conclusions is fairly well conveyed by this headline, even if it's not absolutely precisely true.

> The exact word "huh?" does not exist in every language, it's more that every language has a word that functions like the English language word "huh".

The original paper seems to be saying more than what you are asserting here. Yes, there is something of that, and in places it's not entirely clear exactly what they're asserting in that regard, but even so, there is something in the research. It would be interesting to see people try to build on the research rather than just saying "Well, it's rubbish, isn't it. Clearly wrong."

> This is like saying every language has a word for yes. It's pretty obvious.

Do you think it's obvious that every word has a language for "Yes"? If so, that's why research is needed, because what people think is obvious isn't always true, and this claim is one of them. Not all languages have a word for "Yes".
They did this research in pursuit of an Ig Noble Prize, remember. Its supposed to be interesting and useless.
I think this has been discussed here each time someone cites that infamous 70% statistic in a Rust thread:

This is about CVEs. CVEs are about exploitable vulnerabilities, and most of useful software in that area is in C/C++.

In the OSS project I'm familiar with, most critical issues are not memory safety issues. Most are logic bugs.

I'm not familiar with the safety testing in Windows, which for a start does not support Valgrind or the sanitizers.

Neither am I familiar with the feature oriented culture of Chrome.

If anything, I'd be interested in the numbers of the internal ad-critical C++ code in Google or a HFT bank.

If anything, projects like these can be interesting time capsules in the future, both preserving the city itself and providing some clues about which landmarks were most detailed, and which parts of those landmarks were so detailed.

One thing that comes to mind is UC Berkeley's "Blockeley"[1] server a bunch of students built in the same vein. Some very specific parts of campus are insanely detailed; the V&A Cafe even has furniture where most buildings are hollow facades.

It's also interesting as a virtual meetup environment... at Berkeley, the official graduation this year was even held in the Minecraft server.

Most people aren't bad actors. Some people are. Almost all bad actors know that they are bad actors, it's not a matter of ignorance or stupidity. The easiest tool of bad actors is manipulating communication. Lying, changing expectations, telling different people different parts/sides of the whole story, weaseling out of responsibility, brown-nosing, etc. A lot of bad actors will strive to put themselves in "lead" type of roles where they don't actually have the responsibility of direct reports, but where they can get their fingers into the communication channels for their team. Then, they use that position to get their fingers into the communication channels of other teams as well. They keep doing this and moving farther away from actually having to produce anything themselves. The manipulative communication becomes their entire output and job function, so they optimize it over time and get really good at it.
From the POV of software, it's an x86, not some different architecture. That's the whole point. However, most distributions have stopped supporting x86 (32-bit) and only support AMD64 ("x64", heh).
For most people you can’t get more memory without swapping in your device for a newer one. All mobile phones, all tablets, and a good chunk of laptops have soldered in memory with no expansion possibilities.
You are being overly obtuse. The term popular vote has a clear definition in US presidential politics and the meaning of “won” the popular vote has a clearly defined meaning. That this has no bearing on the outcome of the election is a separate issue but doesn’t diminish in the slightest the meaning of winning the popular vote.
The Georgian word for mother sounds more like "dayda", so no, not really.
Yes, a is implied by b is equivalent to me to b implies a, and it is an atemporal relationship. This is how a lot of logic is taught and practiced, whether in mathematics, physics, engineering or programming. I am a programmer by trade, and even in programming most uses of logic have no concept of time.

When I say x + 1 = 7, therefore x = 6, I see the two statements as being true simultaneously, and simultaneously with the implication.

I am sure there exist logics where time is a necessary component of reasoning, and I am not downplaying their importance. But there also exist logics where time plays no part, and they are not more or less true.
Yes, to all your questions.

This is called Wirth's Law: Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law
No, they don’t. If the Rust team maintains a crate officially and they will always do so (for reasonable values of "always"), then it is part of the standard library. Otherwise, it isn’t.

It is as simple as that. When serious, important projects depend on a standard library is because they want those guarantees. Having some members of Rust work on some crates does not give anyone those guarantees.

Which is why all those crates must be in std, or declare that the standard library is a set of crates (including core, std and others).
This brings back memories! I worked for Colin Hunter at Hunter Systems which was the company before Transmeta. It was in a similar space. Their product recompiled DOS 8088 programs--using a similar "dynamic binary translator" as the Crusoe--so they can run on various Unix systems (68k, MIPS) as "native code". I worked on the thing that remapped the video screen memory to VT100 commands so you can see your Microsoft Word on a template.

In a similar space today are these folks who figured out how to built an 8-bit CPU with only 17 TTL chips:

See:

https://hackaday.io/project/165950-cscvon8-an-8-bit-ttl-cpu

This could have been built back in the mid 70s, there was just nobody smart enough to figure it out. It relies on a very simple set of instructions and microcode to implement the instructions of a more capable CPU.
There is actually lots of Rust supporters in HN (and what other places you'll find people who actually know what Rust is). This extra-hype made people sensitive for possibly two reasons: Too much coverage (re-write everything in Rust) and the other one is the fear of realizing that Rust is going to take over some day.

Yes, I'm a Rust moon-boy ;)
Sure they do. Now how many of the discovered security bugs rely on any hardware problem?

I don’t claim it’s exhaustive in general, but it may well decimate a massively common class of problems, and eliminate some of them entirely.
Rust binaries effectively statically link a lot of code via monomorphizing generics. I may well be wrong but I don't think you could get Rust binaries down to C sizes just by separating all the dynamically linkable parts.
That's a false equivalency. Fox News is way way worse. They argue with science, refuse to acknowledge that racism exists, etc
Gosh, it's been a long time. I don't remember for sure, but I have a faint recollection that I signed it in the O of SONY. But honestly, I don't remember.
In the same vein as these - when someone asks if something can be achieved, unless the answer is "No, because the physical laws of our universe prevent it," then the answer is "Yes, with the following assumptions, caveats and tradeoffs..."
I'm not an expert, but from the small amount that I've read part of the theory behind these tiny keyboards is that its actually the extra movement that causes RSI, not the typing itself, so they accommodate keeping your hands in the same position at all times and only moving your fingers at most one key from the home row.
I do believe it, it was really bad traffic that day too from Renton to the udistrict. Dudes wife was a pharmacist (trained at UW), we talked about some random biotech stuff so I’m 99% sure he wasn’t lying.

This is not that common but some people do. Now if it is a Prius with tinted windows on the other hand that’s someone doing it as a job.
I would be happy if they would still support older machines with macOS. A macmini of 2010 that is still working good can't be left without security updates!

And the failure of Transmeta was a business failure far more than a technical one. Had we not switched from working chip produced on IBM's fab, we would have had chips to give our customers who would have kept giving us money to invest in improved products ...

EDIT: wording & typos
I wonder if maybe Ada/Spark could achieve a resurgence with a Reason-style syntax modernization. A lot of people are repelled by the word-heaviness of Algol/Pascal-style BEGIN/END.
> two of the lucky ones

I honestly think there's a huge amount of survivor bias in this mindset. I'm in my thirties and I know more married couples who met at work than those who didn't meet at work. And the ones who didn't meet at work met at school. Even had two senior managers at my first job break up their marriages (both with kids) to get together. As far as I know they got married and are still happily together.

I think you just hear a lot more of the wild stories of the ones that go wrong.
A place I worked with an office of ~120 had at least 5 couples who met there eventually get married, and there are definitely friend groups among people who worked there.

So I'd say it depends; just go into it knowing making the friends isn't the same as when you're in school.

As a Dane I don’t trust the government with my health data, but I don’t have a choice. Don’t get me wrong, it mostly perfectly safe and well managed, but then a government organisation mail CD-Roms with health data (unencrypted) on 5 million people to the Chinese embassy by mistake. Or the politicians decides that I can have medical help, but I lose all control of any tissue samples taken in the process, they will now be stored forever. I also have to accept that my daughters DNA is now stored by the government, and that’s not comforting in a country where xenophobes have to much power.
Its not this simple.

The internet has opened the disfunction of every institution and and elites (i say this word in the positive light, the George Washington/MLK/Rosa Parks meaning, not the karl rove/donna brazile kind of way, ie leaders with great responsibility, at a significany personal risk )

Institutions used to control the message fairly effectively, now they cant due to citizen journalism.

Its not republicans or démocrats. Its literally every institution of centralized power.

Thats why opinion polls rate so low for everything, congress, NYT, Fox & all networks, FBI, DoJ, etc.

The people at the top of these institutions have looted americans for their own benefit, and never really had the people as their top of mind concern.

(R)s and (D)s wont reform themselves, any more than institutions will let go of power.

You need to take power forecefully from them, unless you want someone to literally set them on fire.
That has a lot to do with Rich Hickey and Cognitect encouraging cultishness.
"write yourself out of the registers" what does that mean?
Or we've been around long enough to hear the same bullshit (a technical term) enough times that we are allergic to how different it is this time.

I've still to hear why Rust is better than Ada and I caught the tail end of that madness.
... I don’t see how that possibly follows. Not everything the project does is the standard library. The compiler, rustup, all kinds of tools.
Lefty here, been using FPs for a few years. The occasional smudge accident happens, unfortunately. But you definitely can learn a way to avoid it most of the time, other comments here offers some good advice.

I just want to add that when using cursive, I love the slanting some people do, but as a lefty I find it difficult to do "forward" (because of how I need to position paper and hand) so I started to slant my handwriting backwards if it makes sense: it's like italicizing the test in a word processor, only in the other direction: the amount of flair/personality I'd like without bending backwards to make the forward slant work with my hand position
While we are on the topic of file formats, I stumbled across a cool project the other day that aims to make parsing well-known binary formats much easier: http://kaitai.io/

In high school I was obsessed with the game Starcraft. It came with its own map editor that would save to its own proprietary format. Some smart people came along and reverse engineered that format and allowed us to do all kinds of neat things we weren't supposed to. I see modding communities for games are more popular than ever, and finding this project brought back lots of great memories.
I LOVE your blog man! Keep it up
> Which advice did/would have helped you landing your first job after university?

Every job I've ever gotten was through friends. Including my first job.

I got my first job because one of my college friends got a job and recommended me. I got my second job because one of my college friends recommended me for it, after we worked together at the first job, which I helped him get. I got my fourth job because one of my friends from my second job worked there and vouched for me. (My third job was with a startup where I just approached the founders and told them I want to work there, and they said not right now, but we became friends and eventually they hired me when they had money).

Now most importantly, all of these college friends were made while working in technology positions in college.

My point is, it's never too early to start building your network. Make friends with people in the same career track now, show them how good you are at your job, return the favor when you're in a position to help them, and then reap the benefits throughout your life (not to mention the bonus of lifelong friendships).
I mostly worked on development boards that were the same size that you'd put in a regular AT/ATX case. I did some work on notebooks, too, both on prototypes & production models, too.
That's not how it went down - what happened between 1900-1950 was the culmination of more than a century of struggles in industrial relations (where labor had no power unless it organised), the rise of mass-media, and the end of monarchies as a viable system of government.

On top of whatever difficulties you're having enjoying software entrepreneurship, you use language that is common in depression and anxiety sufferers.

School is not the best time for side projects. You only get one time in your life to be as selfish as you are as a student: your only goal is to learn, and you can learn whatever you want. Try to find the joy in this stage of your life rather than worrying about whether you're behind on the next one (you aren't!)

Also definitely take advantage of the counseling or therapy services available to you.
How would you do that? Even if you have thousand lockpickers going at it with thousand tools, all unsuccessful, the 1001th might find a way.

There are no communist activist violent groups, so no not to the same extent. At least none visibly active anywhere reported.

Swift doesn’t have sufficient control over memory (where things get allocated and using or avoiding the reference counted garbage collector).
Sage is not something that you would want to use for ML per say. It can, however, help you with understanding of the underlaying math and algorithms. It has excellent support for symbolic math, statistics (distributions etc.) and just about everything else you are going to need to study ML. I recently switched from Mathematica and could not be happier.
excellent, you've provided another great life lesson: seemingly benign but nonetheless false assumptions can have disastrous consequences. so much talent and potential has been lost to hubris.

remember: don't ever rely on intelligence alone when making critical life decisions, it will only serve to dissuade you. after all, it's not the reasonable men who change the world.
No, they only need to make their customers believe they care about them.
The kernel is required to be compilable with very old versions of GCC. So unless all users/companies agree on lifting that restriction, there is not much to do. rustc is not stable nor old enough.
I love sage and I used it for multivar calc this year but unfortunately it's not as good in some aspects (mainly symbolic integration) as Mathematica. One of my primary motivations for learning math is being able to contribute
Using it extensively for my crypto PhD. Several well-known cryptographers contribute to it.

It's an amazing bit of kit. But I'm not without criticisms. I feel it could do with the kind of fresh-start overhaul that really isn't practical for an open-source code base of this nature. E.g. move python 2.6 to python3. Also, you have excellent multi-precision support, but many of the algorithms from other modules don't support precision beyond machine lengths.

But really really good. Love it.
That's quite the click bait, given that the article then goes on to count words that don't even remotely sound like "huh", like "eh" or "a", just so they can claim it exists in every language. That's just straight up "not doing linguistics".
Latin had a few ways to affirm or negate. Both "ita" (it is) and the more forceful "ita vero" (it is true) could be used for yes, but you could also repeat the verb from the question with modification to affirm. "Have you eaten?" -> "I have eaten."

For negation you could do the same verb-repeating, but add "non" to negate.
The actual hills look really strong. The worst parts of it are the blocky background hills and the repetitive, sometimes glitchy trees. To be honest, I don't think it will be very long before all art we see is just computer generated in some twisted orwellian landscape.
A ternary computer based on analog architecture would be interesting. Would be a nice homage to Nikola's 3 phase induction motor.

I think there's room for "low compute" architectures that are simpler to build given infrastructure was at risk. Perhaps localized manufacturing.
I think the default for me is probably to bluntly say what I think. Maybe what you learned is needing to “assert your opinion” more. I think either way taking your personal ego out of what is said has been an important lesson for me.
My experience at UoPeople has been great. The courses are up to date and relevant in today's world. I remembered when my friend who is also studying Business Administration at a local university in my country looked at my school notes, she was surprised at how she did not know most of the things I had learned. This showed me that UoPeople offers quality education while there are still universities offering students outdated information.

About bad business decisions, I have read that some were made for them by others. They were using IBM as their foundry and a new head of IBM's semiconductor department decided to cancel CMOS to focus exclusively on SOI. Now Transmeta couldn't ship to customers until they did a new design for some other foundry. I have no idea how much this was actually the case.
