"It's not uncommon for the interrupts managing CPU faults to be called exceptions, so their nomenclature does converge..."

An interrupt and a CPU exception are different things. UNIX treats them similarly because the PDP-11 did. An interrupt is something outside the CPU wanting to be serviced, like an I/O completion. An interrupt can be deferred during a critical section, which is what "preventing interrupts" does. Some machines direct interrupts to one of many CPUs, so whoever is free can handle I/O. Interrupts have priorities, queuing, and are handled like events on a queue.

A hardware exception is the CPU doing something that stops execution. Inaccessible memory - could be the need to page something in from disk, or a program error. The OS has to decide that. Floating point overflow. Divide by zero. An illegal instruction. The CPU can't continue. So exceptions cannot be deferred, even if in a critical section. The CPU that raised the exception must handle the exception; it can't be handled by another CPU.

UNIX/Linux signals are rarely used for I/O completions in user space, but that is supported. See "aio".[1] Apparently Oracle uses this.

This reminds me of an article I read soon after Pichai became CEO of Google. It mentioned him, freshly made CEO, attending a tech conference/fair. Despite the Alphabet reorg and him becoming CEO going through tech news world wide a while prior, most people didn't recognize him.

Can't find the article any more, otherwise I'd link it here.

It can get worse than that in a region too. Even if they adjust those tables for inflation, they’re likely not adjusting them for regional cost of living changes which are harder to determine. Cost of living in seattle has gone up considerably more than the national average, but since there’s no official number like there is for the CPI, lazy orgs are just going to use that number.

I think you are correct that VPNs are a sort of half-solution.

There are a lot of people that think anything less than 100% isn't worth your time, so they suggest TOR - but TOR has all sorts of annoying limitations that preclude daily usage. Absolute solutions are seldom worth the 10x extra effort they frequently require.

Another set of half-solutions can be seen here which will make you more secure...

https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/

ESNI, DoH, DNSSEC, and TLS1.3 are fairly easy to setup - and worth your time .

Using Firefox with uBlock Origin & PrivacyBadger plus the above gets me to a good enough place.

Illegal stuff on the other hand -> TOR.

The problem with doing illegal stuff with only half-protections is that the authorities don't need to use the metadata to prove your guilt. After they raid your house they'll have all the parallel construction they need to make it stick. ...then again if you're just buying personal use amounts of drugs - no one at the FBI cares.

Like I say, we've had lawyers review our docs. Even the term "fingerprinting" has more nuance to it. Fingerprinting is used as a way to attempt to set a permanent cookie / identify an individual, and their actions. We don't do this.

And we definitely agree that it's bonkers.

I can't say anything here until we've got our press release out.
I hope that US and Europe politicians are looking at this seriously and are able to think long-term.

I completely agree with the author about the vital importance of this technology, it should be considered as a resource.

Some antifascists do use symbols. They've never been red triangles.
Good luck coordinating. A result of acquisitions, my product has a combination of Angular, React, Vue and server-rendered pages. And each front-end is deployed as it's own node app, so no shared CDN, which complicates module federation further. Certainly not Webpack's fault.
Why I got fired as President and co-founder of Udemy, a now-$2B unicorn
The point isn't that it's been referenced politically before.

Act Up intentionally upended the symbol as an act of defiance, the same way you would upend a flag.

The symbol in the president's ad is used as is, with an intentional association with what the symbol means historically.
Hasn't antifa been using this symbol for themselves though? I've seen it in some pro-antifa messaging.

It's because saying you're anti-anti-fascist would make you sound like an asshole.

This lets them pretend they're talking about something different, but all the dogs hear the whistle.
Church organs have such functionality, typically limited to activating octaves higher and lower than the rank played. Quite impressive given that that all works mechanically.

And yes, that would require input, but I will be working on that next and I can already play using a digital keyboard on the piano (which gives a very eerie effect), and that way I can do such stuff.
Judging by how your relevant, informative, and constructive comment has been downvoted, HN has its fair share of white supremacists. I sincerely hope the moderation team takes a look at what's going on here rather than nuking this submission for being 'too political', sweeping this under the rug.
I experienced the same issue when I was in college. I discovered that the way to learn for me was to find a niche category of projects and do them on my own. I actually wrote a blog post about it a while back: https://burakkanber.com/blog/how-i-taught-myself-electronics...
I'll stand with you. I understand the arguments for linting, but the only positive from my perspective is that it scratches enough itches of the Type As out there that they'll climb off my back and get back to being useful...well get back to "organizing" whatever else it is they think is too unruly.

Hi dang, sorry, starting off with "What rubbish <username>" was a clear violation of a very reasonable guideline; I've edited my message to remove that.

Could you tell me if I violated any of the other guidelines / what else I have done that is likely to lower the quality of discussion?

Not sure if this is one that I might have violated here, but I don't think I agree with the guideline saying not to use HN for "ideological battle". That seems to need a clear definition of what "ideology" is, and even then it seems to risk ruling out many important contributions to HN, so I cannot promise to uphold that guideline unless it can be clarified, and possibly not even then.
23andMe also reported on their blog that their preliminary data also supports a protective role of blood type O:

> Individuals with O blood type are between 9-18% percent less likely than individuals with other blood types to have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the data.

and

> While it is still very early in the study, 23andMe’s preliminary investigation into genetics seems to support these findings. Comparing the research participants who reported that they tested positive for COVID-19 to those who tested negative, our researchers identified a variant in the ABO gene associated with a lower risk. (The single nucleotide polymorphism in the ABO gene is rs505922, a T at that location is associated with lower risk. The P-value for the association is 1.4e-8, OR = 0.88).

Hi all, we thought it might be interesting to point our spreadsheet integration tool at some of the COVID-19 data repos on GitHub. So, basically you get all the data from these repos with a single function in Excel/Google Sheets. For example:

=FLEX("covid-19-cases-jhu", "country_region, province_state, date, confirmed, active", "+Illinois", "limit=500")

Here’s a short overview video that shows it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxeP0wFqcqc

I'd be curious if you could link to something that shows that usage. I've never seen this symbol associated with antifa anywhere.
In this case they are following the rules on the other platform. Just like they expect their own rules to be followed on their platform.

Rethinking Pre-Training and Self-Training
For the purposes of the article - "How to get people to work on your project" - won't tidier code (as in: it looks pretty when viewed on GitHub) - be more likely to attract potential contributors?

Getting the code to work as intended is obviously key - who wants to contribute to a project that doesn't even work? - but my personal view (with no data to support it) is that people are more likely to contribute if they think they can add something to the project, and the speed of being able to come to terms with the project's code base forms a good part of their calculations on how/where to spend (waste?) their spare time.

... Not that it's worked for my project. But then I'm also a poet and my need to make things look pretty on a page sometimes overtakes my need to make sure the code works. All poets know how to "Fail with motherfucking gusto"; we also know how to look stylish while doing it!
I love to spend time in my garden looking at all the different creatures: all insects, for example, seem to have a very intricate behavior. Recently I noticed how bees, not being able to drink nectar from comfrey flowers due to their elongated form, would pierce a hole in the flower's petals in order to reach the nectar.

It seems to me each creature, each species, have their own kind of intelligence. Plantes also seem to me to have an awareness of some kind. They know where the sun is, they know when to sprout, they can find water, they have such complex relationships with everything around them, the microbiome in the soil, other plants, insects.

Truly I find the mechanistic view of nature so grim and pointless.
Unfortunately I don't have MacOS building yet https://github.com/derricw/siggo/issues/6 but hopefully soon.
>because the courts require complexity.

No the Courts do not require complexity.

The famous example in law school being writing a agreement on a cocktail napkin being an enforceable contract.

The legal system may be in need of reforms, but in these instances the complexity and length of tech company TOS or PP is a direct result of these entities having an army of in-house and outside counsel looking after their own interests.

There is simply a power imbalance between FAANG companies and even their most legally savvy and educated user. This has nothing to do with the courts, and if you don't believe me, then reach out to one of the FAANG legal departments and tell them you want to use their service but need to negotiate the TOS/PP first.
Are you sure the easy rewriting rules are not just 2x2 matrix multiplication?
I doubt it, unless you run the VPN. Governments have the same ability to leverage things like trackers, etc.

A public VPN service is good for localized privacy. Even a cheap Ubiquity setup will be able to tell about your habits. It's probably good enough to avoid the attention of a civil or informal inquiry (DMCA, employer, etc).
So are you saying sometimes you want to initialise a variable without ever doing anything with it afterwards? That that's not the result of a typo down in your code in the vast majority of cases?

I mean, I'll be the first to agree that blocking your development in the heat of it over some stylistic issue like quote styles is counter-productive, but if those rules are turned off and the rest help you catch actual bugs (and it's hard to argue that it does not), then that's surely a plus?

(Also, why wouldn't linters know types?)
What’s all this about “upside down” and “inverted” triangles? A triangle is a triangle. It doesn’t have a top and a bottom.
Discussed, a little, at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18469891
Writing was invented in Mesopotamia around 3200BC, while in the Americas the necessity of writing things down triggered the same invention around 600BC. Main reason was because Eurasia was in the east-west plane where climate is similar and communication/commerce was not difficult to employ which helped Europe, ME, Asia, and far east to increase interaction. Americas on the other hand lays on the north-south plane, Isthmus of Panama is narrow to pass through, variances in climate and terrain greatly limited communication and commerce between north and south. When European showed up on the shores of Caribbeans and the mainland of Americas it was already too late.
For the record, the WH response is false -- the red triangle is not a symbol used by antifa.

Revisiting the World of Simulation
How does a battery determine its output voltage?
There are multiple definitions of electronics. If you are physicist you might envision electronics as control of emission of electrons. If you are an actual engineer you will have very different definition and understanding of what electronics is.

It is like calling computer scientist experts in software development. No, knowledge of algorithms is far, far from software development which is also about human interaction, project organization, and many, many other things.

Go google "electronics definition":

>noun

>the branch of physics _and technology_ concerned with the design of circuits using transistors and microchips, and with the behaviour and movement of electrons in a semiconductor, conductor, vacuum, or gas.

So no, it is not obviously just about control/emission of electrons.

How susceptible are we to another catastrophic volcano eruption?

After COVID-19 shut down supply chains, there were some problematic delays, but seems like we quickly recovered. If the entire planet's crops were wiped out, we're all just SOL if we don't get canned goods in time? If we had 12 months notice, could we as a planet get it together? 6 months? 3 months?

I find it hard to believe that an anti-fascist movement would happen to use a symbol used by the most well known fascist movement in living memory.

Perhaps this is like the tactics applied by Boris Johnson to distract search results. Now antifa is going to be all over the news for being an alleged terrorist group regardless of its validity.
> So you're basically saying black people should just accept racism is a thing and move on?

Personal opinion: yes, but also no. I think this is a false dichotomy.

As an individual, day to day, what can you do about the systemic issues? Not much. Maybe confront someone every now and then to improve things for a friend or coworker. But, for yourself, the only thing you can do is to accept that you have a shitty hand and do the best you can with it. The hand you have is the hand you have, arguing that it should be better won't make it better.

However, year by year, the reality is that there is a systemic problem, and when a whole population all have a shitty hand to play, statistically you're going to expect worse outcomes.

If you let yourself get crushed by the weight of the systemic issues, you're not going to be in any condition to help others, but if you don't do anything about the systemic problem, then future success stories of people like you will continue to be statistical anomalies. So take care of yourself, and then try your best to help the people that come after you.
It is fascinating to watch. my first reaction was more of a surprise more than anything else. Given this administration track record, I would be willing to explain it by lack of knowledge. Personally, I could not care less what symbols are used and I have a family member I never got to meet as he died in one of the camps.

That said, the more I think about it, the more it seems like a bait. And it seems to have worked.

We all really need to take a step back. The move seems desperate.
With those sort of numbers I kind of wonder if there isn't some other gene that is correlated with type O blood, rather than the blood type itself.

Re: the inevitable "money isn't the metric of success" replies

You're not just saying that money isn't your metric of success, you are saying that nothing money can buy is your metric of success. Money can buy runway for your next startup, it can buy safety & security for your family, it can buy political influence, it can buy food for starving African children, and it can even buy time (shorter commutes and other peoples' time).

The world is full of people trying to convince you that making money for yourself shouldn't be a goal, but that helping them make money should be. These people don't ultimately care about money either, but they do care about something that money can buy, and they have internalized this fact.

If you truly don't care about anything that money can buy, all the power to you -- just please make sure you aren't being taken for a ride by someone using "money isn't the metric of success" to vampire your time and energy.

That the most powerful man in the world tries to play victim and that his "base", people who call anyone speaking up just to try to get a fair shake out of life a "snowflake", can buy into it is fascinating.
