"Faulting" was a general term (has it fallen out of favor?) when an instruction didn't execute properly and wasn't specific to DEC machines. Hence page faults, as you note.

Neither PDP-7 (original Unix machine) nor PDP-11 had segmented memory. Segmentation was fundamental in the design of Multics, and I suspect the term, if not the signal itself of course, was carried over from there. Memory segmentation was pretty common back then, though far from universal.

By the way there were a lot of machines under the "PDP" umbrella with some vary different architectures. PDP-1, -7, and -9 had 18-bit words; PDP-5, -8 and -12 had 12-bit words; the PDP-6, -10 (and renamed from PDP -20) had 18-bit addresses and 36-bit words; and the PDP-11/LSI-11 had 16-bit words (this was later pumped up into the 32-bit VAX line). Unix only really ran on the 11s (and VAXes which BTW gave us the MIPS metric) apart from the one PDP-7 development machines. We used a variety of Ones on all those machines, often homegrown.

In those days it was quite common for a company to write their own OS and programming language just for their computers, and for their customers to do the same!

Personally, I haven't seen any empty shelves or shortages since early May, and the only rationing I've seen in June is on hand sanitizer and instant noodles. I guess I don't know whether my area is uncommonly good or yours is uncommonly bad.

The US is doing something similar with vaccine candidates. Kickstarting massive production before the trials complete so that if it works the doses are ready to go.

BARDA is awarding grants like $483 million to Moderna to start manufacturing even if the vaccine is never approved.

It may be totally appropriate for the government to make multi-billion dollar speculative investments in therapies that could help us more quickly restart the economy, the closing of which is costing trillions of dollars.

These investments, like all central planning approaches, will distort the free market and likely cause a misallocation of resources. For example more work on COVID therapies at the expense of cancer therapies which could ultimately lead to more deaths overall. But the cost of the shutdown dwarfs all of that, so basically anything that could expedite full reopening is worth the risk.

When disaster preparedness pays off everyone feels great. When disaster preparedness that doesn’t pay off is ridiculed as wasted investment, we get situations like we had with the National Stockpile, and what happened in CA with their disbanded disaster response field hospitals.

We need to accept the government wasting money in disaster preparedness if we want to ever actually be prepared. Otherwise it’s like complaining about the insurance premium because the house didn’t burn down.
Clearly you're not a fan of sci-fi as every time we do that we screw it up. Snowpiercer on TBS is the latest iteration on that concept.

Gorhill isn't doing it for money, he's doing it because he believes in an internet where "user agent" means something. He engages in numerous ways with the community. You're sort of asking "How can I trust Gorhill?", and I guess my answer is "How can you trust _anyone_?" I trust Gorhill with this task more than I trust Mozilla, Google, Brave, or any extension put out by a company. Whether that level of trust exceeds a particular individual's thershold is a personal choice, naturally.
To echo the sentiment above, I trust a person, but not code, and not companies. This approach is certainly not bulletproof, but it's the best I've found.

In our recent past, we experienced some disruption from the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption.

How antifacist became a dirty word in the minds of many Americans is baffling to me. Also, the fact that people are taking the antifa stuff seriously and Republicans are just parroting Trump on the matter is ridiculous.

I just skimmed through all the articles here: https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/antifa and the only one that is even specific about an alleged instance of organized violence is an incident in Texas[1][2] and is decidedly bereft of actual evidence.

It's pretty clear that people are looking to blame the "other side" for any and all violence.

Yes. Just because the Nazis did it, doesn't make it "hateful" (racist, etc.). People are going off the rails worrying about any kind of symbols or hints related to Nazis because they've somehow become a popular bogeyman.
[edit: On second thought I'll not walk into this minefield of a thread quite this nonchalantly with an "actually".]

The symbol does exist in a certain context of Antifa/ARA imagery, but if you use it in full context it just makes the Trump team look even worse, surprised the media hasn't picked up on this angle yet.

Physically Based Rendering in Filament
Boom. That's totally correct. Plus, these articles showing "every single worker" infected or 60% of carrier passengers/prisoners etc. don't do a good job of reporting how may actually sick people there are. Immunity is not all or nothing. It's a relative amount of resistant. Many (likely all) of these "naturally immune" folks (if they exist, and I think the evidence is pretty compelling personally) would get COVID if injected with a sufficient dose of purified virus. Many (likely all) would get COVID if an infected person sneezed into their face. Many (maybe? probably?) would be fine sharing a grocery store with a pre-symptomatic carrier. That's huge if true. Time will tell.
My biggest concern for not trying it out right now is that the insider preview for windows is asking for all kinds of data permissions :(
> For starters, the citizenship that was acquired for $ 250k something is from Saint Kitts and Nevis, known for it's abuse of human rights. To me it's a classical double standard behavior.

Blame the UK and EU who allow visa-free travel with SKN but not with Russia and don’t sanction it.

It is a country with a population of 50 000 people. The only reason it is not extremely poor is because its business model is giving citizenship to businessmen to avoid taxes and allow them to travel freely.

Fighting an obviously lost fight against SKN and jeopardizing your whole life sounds even more stupid than fighting windmills.

> I go to the store and still routinely see empty shelves where TP should be;

Huh, so that is why Google Maps keeps asking me whether TP was in stock every time I go the store - I did not realize there were still actual shortages on that elsewhere, I thought it was just a couple of days of panicing in March and that Google was just being weird / behind the times.

FWIW, I haven't noticed such disruptions here (Finland) since March, so it probably varies a lot regionally.
Yes they have, from the onset. It was only considered BECAUSE there was a plausible mechanism.

HCQ is able to transport zinc ions across cell boundaries, which is critical to getting zinc bioavailable within a cell. Zinc disrupts the viral RNA copying which is part of the replication process. So zinc + HCQ should slow down the progression of the disease by decreasing viral load.

Notably most studies did not pair HCQ with zinc, and most focused on near-terminal patients for which slowing down viral replication would be too little, too late.

Because if the numbers don't work on overhauling a single block based on the tax revenue generated by that block, they also don't scale up to work if you draw the tax revenue in from "elsewhere." Everywhere else ALSO has its own road, sewer, etc. to maintain, not to mention fire and EMS services.

Mods: Title is from the article. Update accordingly, it ain't great to be honest.

Highlights:

> In the US, renewables are expected to see fifty times as much net capacity added in the next three years as nuclear and fossil fuels combined.

> This particular item was widely commented on in the media, as SDC releases often are. But the issue everyone covered was the fact that renewables accounted for 100% of installations in April [1]. It seems nearly nobody noticed the paragraph above.

> I was stunned by the idea that renewables would outpace fossil fuels plus nuclear by a factor of 50 over the next three years. In fact, I double-checked the data at FERC. It is true, as you can see for yourself in the Energy Infrastructure Update for April 2020 [2].

> Another thing, however, is that the news from the real world suggests that coal, in particular, is declining faster than FERC, or anyone else, could have expected. Every week, I seem to see two or three announcements of coal-burning power plants being closed ahead of schedule. These are retirements that FERC has not yet taken into account.

Any "online data" is virtually infinite. Online in the algorithmic sense, not the internet. Think Instagram or facebook
But the exact opposite is the case. As usual only the anti-trump posts are visible while the rest is -4'd within seconds. This story is entirely made up. No one even knew that symbol and it was obviously not meant in that constructed sense. And now we take MM as a source, suggesting that they said "heil h....?" This entire story is against the submissions anyways. This is so wrong.
What's.......our intended process for dealing with this?

Same as other existential threats like asteroids. Spend a relative pittance on monitoring, not much else.
I know that you want to describe how the symbol looks to others.

But I noticed that some people use this as a tactic, saying "it's an emoji, so it must be ok to use this".

I'm writing to remind that sadly we've seen emojis used in offensive context (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_gesture#White_power_symbol ) and this is one more example.

What does 'outdated' actually mean here? It's a sign of lazy or fashion-driven thinking. If there's a good reason for refactoring a pice of code, it should be possible to articulate that reason without reference to the date it was written.
Happy to help, but all of these questions have already been answered in this comment section.

> If the same ad is run with a different symbol, would it be fine?

They did run it with other symbols, and those were not taken down. https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1273636769704091654

> What are the list of symbols that are not to be used in ad campaigns?

This is like asking for a list of sentences that can't be used. It's obviously impossible. You can't enumerate every bad thing in the world, especially when the whole point of being human is that we can invent brand new things.

It's just not a reasonable thing to ask for. It's like a kid in school getting detention for bullying a classmate and saying "Well this isn't fair, how was I supposed to know? Give me a list of everything I'm not allowed to say!"

> So I am not sure what exactly the motivation is behind a red triangle (I saw the comment about "nazi concentration camp symbols").

Yes, that was it.

> Lastly, facebook probably removes ads all the time for all sort of minor reasons. Is there a good reason to believe this was somehow malicious?

Because they said so.

> A Facebook spokesperson told Media Matters in a statement that “We removed these posts and ads for violating our policy against organized hate. Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol.”

One of the most underrated books in programming. I'd say it has value even if you are not interested in programming. To bend your brain. Seems overly simple sometimes, then before you know it you have to bend your mind backwards and jump through a flaming hoop.
"tend not to go out in the sun as it's hot"

Is that really true? Most of these "hot" LATAM and asian countries do not have wide-spread central air conditioning. In those countries, staying inside is horrible in the hot months.
ASML can sell if they want, but indeed the US has a lot of ways to make that unattractive. Case in point, the US has recently started pressuring the Dutch Government to prevent sales by ASML to China. I think the current stance is that they (Gov + ASML) are still considering how to proceed.

An interesting aspect though: I think the technological superiority of ASML is a big asset in these discussions. e.g. If the US would follow up on a threat of sanctions against ASML (e.g. banning US companies from working with ASML) it would hit the US semiconductor industry quite hard (particularly Intel), while non-US players (e.g. TSMC) could continue producing with euv.

In effect, they would have to go much further to keep some similarity of a level playing field: e.g banning all products containing chips produced on ASML machines. That would hit a lot more companies, many of them US based too. Creating even more reasons for the US Gov to not to take such drastic steps.

Therefore I expect that it is much more likely they'll use pressure on the EU / NL government systems to force the behaviour they want, compared to economic sanctions vs ASML.

> ASML is integrated into the dollar-based global financial system, so it will have to respect American financial sanctions

I'm no expert, but if a company wants to pay ASML in Euros, I'm pretty sure they can accept euros. The dollar is convenient, not a requirement.
I've heard a couple stories that seem to make sense which boil down to compensation or ideals.

If you are highly compensated and in a stable FANNG position, startups might not be attractive due to instability. There can also be some bias. For an example, people who want to work for startups would probably be working at one already, or be an entrepreneur. Obviously there can be exceptions.

The biggest factor will be if the person believes in the startup's idea/product. This can be them wanting a smaller company where they have more control, wanting to help a cause, wanting to work that concept/product, or wanting equity in the company that could be worth a lot.

Without those sorts of motivations, it can be hard for some startups to compete with FANNG on pay, benefits, and stability.
It is pretty obvious that we will not be able to maintain leadership with arbitrary hardware process technology advantages for much longer.

The next generation of strategic advantage is in the software that runs on this hardware. We really need to start thinking harder about how we protect highly-complex and strategically-important software IP from theft, because theft of software is pretty much immediate and absolute. I have personally started to pull some of my experimental projects I would otherwise keep public into private repositories because of these sorts of concerns. I do not want to enable the CCP in any way whatsoever.

Hypothetically, if your 7nm chip supply was constrained because of war, but you were able to optimize the software that runs on that hardware by 15-30%, you could theoretically run it on a 14-22nm chip with a similar performance envelope. The larger process tech is easier to manufacture and you will more likely have domestic facilities which can accommodate. Anything that does not require EUV is instantly 100x easier to produce. Additionally, the more advanced process tech is arguably less advantageous in a military setting, as these chips are highly vulnerable to electromagnetic warfare relative to older process technology.
They present NBC News on their platform "YouTube" which directly competes in the media space with other news outlets.

They also have an issue if they start using this tactic to pull the rug out from outlets critical of the companies other divisions. If an outlet reports on an issue with say, a Pixel phone, and suddenly the advertising for that outlet dries up...or they come up with an excuse about comments, knowing full well they also have comments on their platforms that violate their own policy. Well you can see where there is a lopsided enforcement or double standard and this can be wielded to coerce speech or extort a company into giving favorable reviews. Which is already a problem given access media practices. I wouldn't care so much if there was another few advertising players in the market.

One isolated incident isn't cause for concern, but there's been enough of this to establish a pattern.

There are two that stand out to me:

> Always validate your data server-side; anything that comes from the client is suspect.

At least sanitize in a way that won't break the server but will throw an error. For internal applications and side projects it's ok to just respond with a 40X or a 50X and move on.

> To the developer, “isomorphic” code breaks down the barrier between client and server.

"Breaks down the barrier" sounds great, but it's actually has been rather detrimental. "Isomorphic" is confusing even to the senior developers. Having a very clear delimiter of what runs in the server and what runs in the client is essential, and it makes your application much simpler to reason about. Take `isomorphic-fetch` for example... a request from a server to another API server has very different requirements and nuances than a request from a browser to a server.
The American Alpine Club produces an annual publication called "Accidents in North American Mountaineering" that collects and presents case studies of climbing[1] accidents, often with some analysis.

When I was a more active climber, I read it religiously every year. It was very interesting and I definitely learned some important safety lessons I put to good use in my own activities.
