Yes, I don't think the current implementation is great. Hence my last sentence. That said, it may be better for the people coming in than not having it at all. Although the net harm maybe be greater than without it or a similar program (corporations benefit, locals hurt some, immigrants benefit). It's not clear to me what the magnitude of the harm to locals is though.

I am increasingly of the opinion that this is OK. Neither side is actually interested in a conversation. Businesses are not going to want to reform the H1B to make it less exploitative, and the people who think it's bad for Americans are not going to believe the stated pro-H1B case. People on the visa are stuck in the middle.

I am sympathetic to both sides, but I have no easy solution to propose.

Having been through the gauntlet a few years ago, this might seem like pulling the ladder up behind me. But, I would really like to see the Indian education/employment system diversify out of body-shopping or emigration and into more local innovation and progress.
Maybe it won't happen, but something needs to change.
I am actually paid by my employer to do 5 hours of training per week. It's required and I am allowed to study anything I want, whether it's a new framework or a self-improvement book.

I usually spend that time studying something that I think may be useful or related to my job but I have been encouraged to explore. My employer is a big believer that innovation comes from exploration.

As you pointed out, it is an infinite endeavor. I'm okay with that. If I just stuck with the current technologies that were used when I first came in, we'd probably still be using jQuery and .ERB templates. Instead I personally pushed for using new technologies and my team is personally responsible for introducing Vue, Typescript, and GraphQL to our stack among other technologies.
First, the fact that you are only 10 times more likely to die from a civilian as from a police officer is an appallingly bad ratio. That ratio should be over 100:1, not 10:1, and certainly not 9:1.

This conversation is missing another statistic: The percent of citizens who are also LEOs, which I'm seeing is about 1 in 300. Which means your chances of dying during an encounter with a random civilian are about 30 times less than your chance of dying during an encounter with a LEO. I cannot begin to express how deeply fucked up that is.

Your chances of encountering a bear in the woods are very low, but once you have done so, your focus should be almost entirely on the bear until the interaction has resolved itself. Any training you had should be employed. You should try to educate any hiking friends just in case they find themselves in such a situation.

Cops should not be a situation. They should not be like bears.

Open source software is great when it works, much better than proprietary software. I have a strong preference for open source; but I can't use Linux for anything serious because of how so many things are broken (not the kernel per se, so not "technically" Linux itself but the surrounding ecosystem). So, I use it as my hobby machine for whatever I can, because of dogfooding. The only way I will know what to fix, or even want to fix it, is by having to deal with it day after day.

Murder is an understood societal outlier that society doesn't tolerate.

Society is disquietingly tolerant of murder when the murderer is wearing a badge and executing a suspect "In the line of duty."

> I would assume that a more strict memory model would be enabled only for processes that needs it (ie, Rosetta translated ones). So a cpu-flag is set/cleared when entering/exiting user mode for those processes. Does this require a separate/special cache coherency protocol?

The benefits you'd get from going to a weaker memory model are by not having that extra coherency in the critical path in the first place. Adding extra muxes in front of it to make it optional would be worse than just having it on all the time.

> A complete L1d flush when entering/leaving these processes (across all CPUs)?

That wouldn't help because two threads could be running at the same time on different cores against their respective L1 and store buffers.
Sounds dangerous. False recognition can lead police to suspect innocent people, and there are many ways that mere suspicion can lead to a conviction.
Exactly right, and in fact I am often excluded from whiteness on account of being Jewish. The most explicit white supremacists construct Whiteness very narrowly. And it's in opposition to white supremacy that a notion of Blackness is more important: not how they see themselves, but how they are treated, and how that treatment affects their lives.

I would be considered white in most circumstances so I get a pass from a lot of discrimination that affects others. And that's why I consider it important to take a stand against that discrimination -- though unfortunately, the people propagating the worst of that discrimination see me as a traitor.
It may be entirely speculative (I don't know), but that is CERNs leaderships job - if they don't plan ahead and spend small amounts on design studies now and it turns out new hardware is needed, and they need to start a project from scratch ten years down the line, then that's potentially 10k+ people (CERN currently has 2.5k on staff, of which a lot are not scientists, and ~12k external "users") having their experiments delayed for 10 years. Of course not all experiments would be affected.

CERNs yearly normal budget is ~$1.2bn. Spending a few million on design studies and planning now is a pittance as risk mitigation against delaying future experiments.

Once there's a need to commit serious cash, then these questions needs to be answered.

I thought of a different and, in my view, more likely cause behind this story:

He was interviewed by a junior reporter (who else would be assigned an article about a blogger). This junior reporter is too scared or naive to break the NYT policy of "always use names." Maybe NYT's orientation sessions stressed this a lot, or maybe the reporter got chewed out for not using names before.

It is weird they weren't willing to leave out his name after Scott brought it up. But we do only have one side of the story right now, and it's only been a day. A secret vendetta is too far a leap for me right now.

> How do you get people to obey the law, in a way that is safer for all concerned?

When the law states that you cannot leave your home after 1pm in the afternoon, or after 7pm at night, I do not think that any level of enforcement, of any kind, will prevent Americans from breaking the law.

Most of the lethal and harmful force used by the police in the US recently was at the excuse of the peaceful protesters being out "past curfew" even at 2pm in the afternoon. The simplest way to prevent that violence would have been to not employ a curfew to the citizens at insane and unruly hours - or frankly, at all.

The next simplest way would be to reduce the anger felt by the population at the police. That would mean that nationwide, there would have to have been coordinated police action to not needlessly harm and kill peaceful protesters. The last month saw the opposite strategy from police, seemingly coordinated because it was so ruthlessly violent across the country, nearly all stemming from unprovoked police actions.

Even better actually, would be to stop the systemic racism and police terrorism and brutality in the first place. Ensure that no police officer is likely or even able to randomly kill someone they have detained, like George Floyd. Especially when there is clear racial bias in the police departments across the country that harms black and minority groups.

Less police violence, less racism, less systematic oppression of the already oppressed == A lot more law-obeying citizens.

Gassing and shooting innocent civilians indiscriminately after killing an unarmed-and-already-detained black man is not a path to peace or an orderly, law-obeying society.

Black people. "Blacks" sounds totally dehumanising.
P2P information is not only "expert blogs". Expert and enthusiasts blogs are the media of niche communities. And believe it or not they can also be biased and push an "agenda". They don't have the monopoly of ethicsm, they are just less scrutenized.

The mainstream P2P communication is your Uncle of whatsapp and random people on Twitter. Journalism might not always be great but I'll take it over that.
So by those numbers for the population involved:

(2019 population numbers)

Whites killed by other whites: 1 per ~87982

Blacks killed by other blacks: 1 per ~17114

(2018 employed cop numbers)

Whites killed by cops: 1 per ~1855

Blacks killed by cops: 1 per ~2921

Numbers only say so much though
> A fundamental tenet of (US) law is that using a weapon while committing a crime is itself a crime.

Shouldn't that apply to police as well?
Wrong, or at the least misleading.

What do you mean by 'maintain' here? Because Arch is trying to stay on the bleeding edge side of things in a reasonable manner and is rolling release, they almost stay 1:1 with upstream, "maintains its own kernel" makes it sound like they would do some heavy patching and do active maintenance with certain kernel versions, et cetera. You can have a look yourself if you want to https://git.archlinux.org/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.7.5-arch1&i...

Ok, we've changed the title from "No more system shared libraries in macOS 11" to a representative phrase from the quoted documentation.
Blacks are killed by police disproportionately by a factor of around 2-3x.

For such a remote occurrance, a small factor doesn't justify the difference between carefree and paralyzed by fear. Automobile accidents kill a lot more people than police do, but I doubt most people bother to know the risks of cars within a factor of 2-3x.

The fear may be there, but I don't see it justified in the numbers.

Blacks are also disproportionately victims of murder, which is about 20x as likely as getting killed by the police. Why would only white people be worried about criminals?
Think of binary translation as just another kind of compiler. It parses machine code, generates an IR, does things to the IR, and then codegens machine code in a different ISA. (Heck, Rosetta 2 is probably built on LLVM. Why wouldn't it be? Apple already put so much work into it. They could even lean on similar work like https://github.com/avast/retdec .)

During the "do things to IR" phase of compilation, you can do static analysis, and use this to inform the rest of the compilation process.

The unique pattern of machine-code that must occur in any implementation of JIT, is a jump to a memory address that was computed entirely at runtime, i.e. with a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use-define_chain for that address value that leads back to a call to mmap(2) or malloc(2). Static analysis of the IR can find and label such instructions; and you can use this to replace them in the IR with more-abstract "enter JITed code" instrinsic ops.

Then, in the codegen phase of this compiler, you can have such intrinsics generate a shim of ARM instructions. Conveniently, since this intrinsic appears at the end of the JIT process, the memory at the address passed to the intrinsic will almost certainly contain finalized x86 code, ready to be re-compiled into ARM code. So the shim can just do a (hopefully memoized) call to the Rosetta JIT translator, passing the passed-in address, getting back the address of some ARM code, and jumping to that.
Wow, this is egregious. I already didn't have any respect for the NYT, but I'm surprised that a writer of theirs would lie so flagrantly about being chained by bureaucracy.
Well, that's interesting information. I believe it when I see it, but it could be that my criticism of GitLab is no longer valid at some point in the future.
Is this a genuine question? There is no obligation to make more than 40k. Instead of making more money you could just work less and do what you like/love (as long as it's not bad for environment).
Agreed, the comparison between who kills black folks is irrelevant. The comparison that is relevant here is who police officers kill.

That would help somewhat but all it would do is require more computational power to draw imperfect districts. The fundamentals of gerrymandering do not change with doubling the number of districts. And my proposal is based on the idea that today House reps do not represent their district. Look at people like Pelosi and AOC and Nunes. They represent voters from across the whole country but are only elected in their districts. The debates we have are also largely national, not district-level. Most reps spend little time in their districts. They are national level politicians, so why do we pretend like they are the politicians representing just your neighborhood?

Indeed true, good point.

> That wouldn't help because two threads could be running at the same time on different cores against their respective L1 and store buffers.

Of course, this was related to the cost of switching coherency protocol during context switch. But as you say the overhead of just making it switchable is prohibitive in itself.

So all improvements we get today are foundational: they will have multiplicative effects once you start to scale out.
