Nowadays I follow American news channels for entertainment (both CNN and Fox Bews are soooooo skewed). I usually go to CBSN or AlJazeera for 'boring' unskewed news.

pipenv felt like it took forever to complete simple tasks. I briefly used it for a small project and quickly realized that it was a mistake. I now just use conda environment.yml and a requirements.txt, those two cover most bases I feel like.
I used to keep snippets of bash commands, but now I just use the [1] dotfiles method of storing all your scripts in a git versioned folder.

Anything I find my self Googling how to do (git remove merged branches from origin), I create an easy command for.

This is radicalization on the right:

https://www.businessinsider.com/extremist-killings-links-rig...

In this thread, the violence I'm seeing attributed to the left is a nonlethal assault, a dude who killed a bunch of cops but didn't demonstrate any specific political motivation, and some attempted firebombings.

The claim is "similar if not moreso." I'm not absolving or supporting any of this violence, but bothsideism doesn't appear to be supported by the data.

Seeing lotsa downvotes, no actual rebuttals. Where's this dangerously radical left that everybody is so afraid of?

Weren't they following the travel restriction guidelines? It's naive to assume that they can "just go and try" at the airport and see if it works. Several countries have placed travel restrictions, US is not alone.
Except the problem here is that those tests were bottlenecked by IO. Whether you're testing C++, pypy, libuv, or whatever it doesn't matter.

All that matters is the concurrency model because that application he's running is barely doing anything else except IO and anything outside of IO becomes negligible because after enough requests, those sync worker processes will all be spending the majority of their time blocked by an IO request.

The basic essence of the original claim is that sync is not necessarily better than async for all cases of high IO tasks. I bring up node as a counter example because that async model IS Faster for THIS same case. And bringing up node is 100% relevant because IO is the bottleneck, so it doesn't really matter how much faster node is executing as IO should be taking most of the time.

Clearly and logically the async concurrency model is better for these types of tasks so IF tests indicate otherwise for PYTHON then there's something up with python specifically.

You're right, we are in disagreement. I didn't realize you completely failed to understand what's going on and felt the need to do an apples to apples comparison when such a comparison is not Needed at all.

Desktops, perhaps never - 10 years? Alibaba seem to be funding some R&D in this direction, but I'm not too familiar (and I can't speak Chinese). It's certainly possible, but desktop processors aren't simple in any way. Regardless of absolute technical excellence, RISC-V only has to be better than ARM (in both specification and implementation, and cost, of course) which will be a moving target as RISC-V improves.

Single Board Computers - https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unleashed this seems to fit the bill. However, they don't seem to be selling those yet - the development kit for that particular CPU seems to be an FPGA soft-core.

I am currently working on an open-hardware project that requires a fair amount of grunt (or FPGA); in an effort to keep is open I was looking into RISC-V processor's. You can actually buy RISC-V hardware today as a guy on the street (i.e. Digikey etc.) but the offerings I could find were generally fast microcontrollers rather than general purpose processors.

If RISC-V is to be adopted it's probably more of a question of engineering knowledge and training than solely hardware: One of the chips I found in my search above is an interesting Chinese system on module that has a RISC-V at 400MHz, Wi-Fi, and a hardware NN coprocessor - it's a cool chip but even in Chinese the documentation is unusable and awful.

If a big western company like ST or Cypress etc. picks up RISC-V and starts making it easy and safe to actually use (for example, the section of the manual for the serial peripherals on most NXP microcontrollers is longer than all the documentation I could find for the aforementioned SoM).

I actually find the intel manual on SIB bytes quite straightforward and useful. Section 2.1.5 and specifically tables 2-2 and 2-3 show really quite simply all possible values of the ModRM byte and their operands [1].

Sure, but you shouldn't need to block the thread for this. Most applications that have to deal with this sort of thing would present a loading indicator or something instead while a different thread is busy doing the actual transaction work. This is both possible and encouraged with (to my knowledge) literally every desktop or mobile UI framework written in the last 20 years.

And to be clear: this will still be user-visible with literally any other file format. The slow part ain't SQLite itself; it's the disk to which you're writing.

PCLATH stands for Program Counter LATch High (byte).

In this case latch refers to the digital design technique where you have a register that holds bit(s) until some other event happens. The event in this case is a write to PCL. Once the event occurs, PCLATH is transferred to PCH synchronously/atomically with the write to PCL.

Did you grow up with 49% of the voters in this country, or are you generalizing them based on caricatured versions of your anecdotal experience?

I haven't and don't plan on voting for Trump. However, you can't generalize a group of people consisting of approximately 60 million very easily. Even if you can't fathom why they would support him, there's a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and ideologies within that massive group.

There are also many different political issues that have significant impacts on peoples' lives. Not everyone gets the same information about these issues. Even if they did, not everyone interprets and values them in the same exact way. I would bet most people voting for or against Trump are trying to do what they think will make the US a safe, fair, happy place to live. The problem is that many political issues are incredibly complex and most of them don't have clear cut solutions. Even in cases where they do, people still can't agree on the best course of action.

Some people like to hand wave the complexity away by taking the stance that "one party just wants freedom and equal rights for everyone and the other wants the opposite".
And these are the scumbags we're supposed to honor, thank, and in the future remember fondly? Memorial and veterans' days should only apply to soldiers who fought in wars against their will (drafted) or had a basis in reality. Last one was WWII. The scumbags who fought in later wars should question their life decisions. Some of them regret it already. Good.

What was partisan about what he said? He made no mention of US political parties. He simply said that the war was failing and it needed to end. May I suggest you are projecting your partisanship onto this?

Objective journalism is not about giving both sides an equal voice. It is OK to use rationale and logic to support one side over the other. Should all journalism about evolution also include equal time for creationism?
You're assuming that care for every issue is expressed in the same way, and also that whether or not something makes front page news or gets people riled up is a fair measure of how much they care, as opposed to a measure of simply how flashy or exciting that issue is.
I find it almost unbearable the way it selects the worst of what everyone posts. I know, it's easy to blame the person and not the algorithm. But I think people underestimate how much manipulating context can warp perceptions and how vulnerable anyone who posts a fair amount is.

I get to feeling almost persecuted and then I look at someone's posts in context chronologically and it seems quite normal. Just by selecting a small fraction of posts, there is an illusion of a personality that doesn't exist. Context matters so much. It's not humanly possible to overcome the effect of what you don't see other than by challenging it, going out and looking for a more representative sample.

Again: You get what you vote for. Using 'I disagree with what my party is doing, but I'm voting for them anyways' as an attempt to avoid criticism doesn't work. That's the nature of US politics. If you vote for one party despite them doing some heinous things, then you tacitly support what they're doing. If you don't like it, then either don't vote or vote for the opposite party.

Exercise good, processed bad, is probably a great place to start for most people —including the author if they hadn't already done the research.

Exactly. Approximations are good, because they allow you to start doing things now, rather than procrastinating because you need to do proper research first.

You don't need to research the best exercise in the world before you start exercising. Just start exercising, and don't hurt yourself.

You don't need to do the nutrition research. Eat lots of vegetables, cut down on sugar and salt.

...and of course, you can still do the research later, if you want to. But if the proper research will take you say 10 years, it is better to spend those 10 years already exercising and eating vegetables and avoiding sugar.

Since if we do then we can actually say x86 has 2 forms of encoding. It's assembly form and it's binary form which is abit interesting.

I think you're being pretty ungenerous in your reading.

Under the section "3. Necessary Software":

> If the licensed design requires software, embedded or otherwise, to operate properly and fulfill its essential functions, then the license may require that one of the following conditions are met:

> a) The interfaces are sufficiently documented such that it could reasonably be considered straightforward to write open source software that allows the device to operate properly and fulfill its essential functions. For example, this may include the use of detailed signal timing diagrams or pseudocode to clearly illustrate the interface in operation.

> b) The necessary software is released under an OSI-approved open source license.

My interpretation of that would include HDL source code.
> that whether or not something makes front page news or gets people riled up is a fair measure of how much they care

That seems like a pretty good metric for whether the political system is grappling with something.

What metric are you proposing as an alternative? Does it show a different result?

Well, I am employed for well over a year. And my credit record still has my job from several years ago, even though I provided my employment to get a loan recently. So there isn't an obvious connection. It seemed to me more like some kind of risk-reduction initiative.
I was on the "silicon level debugging" team, which took test cases like this and boiled them down to x86, then through the CMS to p95 assembler, then down to the circuit and device level to figure out the speed paths. There were definitely some crazy issues we found. Honestly, I couldn't have done that job without relying on 80%+ of my undergrad courses (Computer Engineering @ Waterloo).

The issue I remember the most clearly was one that an engineer Simon Barrett discovered: a specific sequence of MMX instructions would cross-talk (and cause the occasional bit to flip) on two perpendicular busses in the pipeline when run at a specific voltage/frequency. It sounds simple enough, but imagine trying to figure that one out.

That's a very important distinction. The person who made that fatal decision against the objections of many (no, it wasn't Dave) bear much of the responsibility of the death of Transmeta. It was reckless and ultimately a disaster.

Curious, would OoO execution been possible with CMS?

It's complicated enough to resolve things when you're dealing with instructions + hardware execution units.

When that becomes x86 instructions + CMS + native instructions + hardware execution units... it seems a daunting task to hit stability and outlier response targets for the system as a whole.
Correct. In the US, the 3rd leading cause of death is believed to be preventable medical errors [1]. It is an absolutely atrocious statistic, that only mirrors developing countries. Statistically, this sort of thing only happens in developing countries, and never developed/industrialized countries. Americans should see the irony in that.

A good resource, that I suggest all Americans consult so that they can stay alive is: http://HealthData.org

I consulted that website for years for trusted data on global health systems. Ironically, it is the same group that runs the IMHE coronavirus predictive models in the US. It is an amazing group, run by the University of Washington, which has a phenomenal public medical school.

Anyways, the wild part is that countries like Croatia compete with the US, for overall quality of care as a whole (not medical errors!). You know, a former Yugoslav war-torn, economically damaged country, that is up and rising thanks to being a new member to the European Union. It also has its geographic challenges in distributing care, due to having about 50 inhabited islands. One island is a 2 hour and 45 minute ferry ride away. If you get extremely sick, it is a 5 hour boat ride back to the mainland. There is no air ambulance service.

The US is really going the wrong way, and for shocking reasons. Also, Americans are generally unaware of how low the bar has been actually set, which is actually extremely low. It is also the system's fault, not the doctors. We really do have incredible doctors in the US.
