.NET has these features for decades. It compiles really fast, much easier to use than C++, and has awesome IDEs.

C interop is pretty much same as in Rust.

GC is not an issue in modern .NET even for resource-demanding apps running on slow ARM CPUs. Here's an example: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo BTW it consumes non-trivial amount of C APIs like V4L2, ALSA, and audio decoders.
I wonder why Envoy is not mentioned.
> Despite what you might read, it is possible to consume too much magnesium. Magnesium accumulates in the body with a very long elimination time (days or weeks) which means overdose can occur after months of supplementing at the same level.

You have not supported this with links to credible sources.

Too much magnesium from food does not pose a health risk in healthy individuals because the kidneys eliminate excess amounts in the urine.

Oh, shit_hn_says [0] is a Twitter account which mocks the serious-yet-rude attitude of folks on this site. Their posts are curated selections from normal HN discourse; the entirety of the criticism is that some person genuinely believed what they wrote.

I'm not trying to paint some picture of folks unsympathetic or uncaring. I'm saying that no amount of thoughts nor prayers are going to be equivalent to doing the hard work of changing the world to be less horrible. If we are going to spend a thread remembering the sacrifice of such a person, martyred for not just their beliefs but their works, then we ought to at least acknowledge the mismatch between what Swartz did with his life, and what commenters here are doing with their life while they're sending in thoughts and prayers.

> that just means you need a mangled name in the symbol table

That alone is already enough to stop most if not all foreign language interfaces from resolving a symbol to a function pointer. That's the simplest hurdle to overcome. There are also complex mechanisms to deal with such as virtual method tables that figure into the calling conventions of overridable methods. Not even C++ compilers manage to keep the ABI stable between every compiler version: sometimes libraries compiled with a new version cannot be used with software compiled by an old version. Rust doesn't even have an ABI specification yet.
The bagging is done on a counter or conveyer belt by laying your bag down and then packing it. That surface isn't sanitized before the next customers' food items and/or bag touches the exact same surface.

Also note how the vast majority of reusable bags get transported: We compress them down with our hands and stuff them somewhere. Your hands have been all over the bags (unlike most parts of your jacket).

Maybe researchers will determine that it isn't a risky practice after all, but given that we don't know yet it seems like a perfectly reasonable precaution.

Not everyone is out to get you. The ban is not senseless, and the stores implementing it are not being unreasonable. Have you considered the possibility that maybe you're the one being unreasonable?

> Almost nobody is going to haproxy.org on their smartphone with any intention of actually doing anything with the software.

This is where you get it entirely wrong. I read this news and I, as an extensive nginx/traffic user, wanted to check out haproxy to understand if it was worth a shot. The .org page is plagued with general usability and readability problems to the point that it's practically unreadable when compared with the page served through the .com domain. There is no way around it.

You don't fix problems by turning a blind eye and playing the denying card. More importantly, this sort of technical snafu is helps form the public image of the product, and thus this sort of poor performance reflects poorly on the product.
The 99% number so often paraded as a sign of failure wasn't a 99% chance of being president. It was a 99% chance of winning the popular vote.

That prediction was correct, and by a decently large margin. But losers often become president because of the electoral college (it's happened 5 times already), and losers will continue to benefit for years to come.
How many more black people would there be if there wasn’t poverty and discrimination?
This is cool. I'm glad people are working in this direction.

A common theme that I've noticed among recent upstart social efforts is a focus on platform and/or policy differentiation. I personally believe this is not very important during the phase where a social network is working to reach critical mass. It seems to me that most successful social networks got their start by offering users unique content, by targeting existing, tight-knit communities, or through some combination of the two. Platform and policy help shape the social network, but there needs to be a network to be shaped in the first place - they don't form magically.
It seems to focus on roles where your former software engineering experience is useful and your years of experience translate to starting at a non-junior role. There's innumerable jobs where problem solving is useful however starting a career over from scratch (including pay wise) is very painful.

Plus, practically speaking, the article is already 20+ jobs long, adding the dozens of other careers that require logic (including doctors, lawyers, carpenters, etc.) would make the article so long as to be pointless.

> Both of the claims apply to PRNGs.

Why? A reasonable interpretation of "pseudo-random number generator" is a generator that yields a sequence of numbers that looks pretty random, but isn't. Why require it to be repeating?

For an example of a PRNG that doesn't repeat (infinite period), take your favourite periodic PRNG and XOR it with bits from pi or e or the Champernowne constant.

I do think the definition implies it's deterministic, though. Things that are not deterministic are random, so they are not pseudorandom. The fact that you can't seed the state of the Javascript PRNG doesn't mean that it's not deterministic: what matters is that once you know its complete state you can predict its output.
Intel's handling of ICC has always puzzled me. I'd bet Intel could live without any of the money it made them.
Yet, they never open-sourced it so that GCC/LLVM could catch up faster with any tricks that gave ICC a performance edge. Knowing that Intel chips were fully supported by all major compilers would probably translate to more chip sale profits than the profits of selling ICC as a tool. The least they could have done was to release a stripped down version (e.g. without advanced profiling tools) as a no-nonsense free download.
I think it's normal to work 50-60 hours a week if you don't actively track your time. When I was going to the office, I actually worked a lot less. I averaged around 35-40 hours. Now that we all are remote, I find myself working 45-50 hours a week. It's too easy to accidentally go over since I do not have to worry about leaving the office at a particular time due to commuting. However, in general, I feel much more relaxed then before and I do not mind the extra work. I do not let it get out of control since, every hour I work extra, my salary per hour decreases. I like to keep it as high as I can since it makes me feel that my time is worth it.
The backtrace in https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/issues/1374 makes it sound like they passed a nil pointer to NSOrderedSet's initWithSet method, from inside FBSDKServerConfigurationManager's processLoadRequestResponse method. That makes it sound like a new version of the data provided by the server didn't have some field that old versions of the SDK expected, and the old code didn't catch that exception.
It's mostly because TSMC's fabs are curently better than Intel's fabs. If Intel's fabs catch up their processors will likely have very similar efficiency to Apple's.

I find the notion of a coherent self / consciousness to be hogwash anyway. The "self aware" "conscious" brain is a wholistic entity, with what you ate yesterday causing moods that alter your train of thought etc etc, with multiple competing interests vying to control the larger organism to their own ends.

The Ship of Theseus is the warmed-over Christian heresy. A brain is an organism with a symbiotic tight coupling to a meat bag, and the brain itself a similar cooperation by accident.

An organism can develop that builds new tight "synthetic" couplings; it isn't sci-fi. It's partially released today. It's just that we are so normalized to the interfaces of smart phones, keyboards, monitors, steering wheels, and so on that we didn't notice it's arrival.

More exotic, more tightly coupled interfaces also exist today (there exist direct-to-brain interfaces that provide a new sensory feedback loop that you brain can adapt to), they're just not as competitive currently with thousands of years of neural optimization of hands/eyes/nose/touch.

Why would you want to do this? Who knows. Why do we want to do anything? Maybe a person wants to be part machine as a lizard-brain driven reaction to a low-oxygen office environment that sees no viable way out.
> the Linux scheduler took a while before it realized it should schedule work on all full cores before assigning something to a hyperthread.

According to statistics maintained by LWN [1], Intel was the number #1 employer of Linux kernel developers in the latest kernel, and has been for a while. If you go back into previous years, Intel was not always as high up, but even back in 2007 (when LWN started tracking this) they were in the top 5-10 (depending on how you count it.)

Intel released HT way back in 2002. I don't know how active Intel was in Linux kernel development back then. But what Intel was or wasn't doing 18 years ago probably isn't very relevant to the question of Intel's current performance.

The character limit is the last of Twitters issue, in my opinion. I think the #1 issue is the retweet model, it leads to people just brainlessly sharing low effort content with a single click. It's similar to how fake news and misleading content thrive on Facebook. But notice how Instagram where it's impossible to easily re-share content (well, you can now in stories) is far less toxic.
Yeah, half of these careers are just “software developer with a different job title”.
> One shortcoming of the research is how it treats dinitrogen (N2), which was excluded from the analysis of nitrogen emissions, Sutton says.

What is the problem with N2??? Most of the atmosphere is N2 and most of the Nitrogen in fertilizers is extracted from the N2, so it's a closed cycle. (Other form of nitrogen can cause problems, like algae booms, and other nasty stuff, but can't imagine how N2 can be a problem.)

Any prng with a fixed (finite) amount of state will eventually return to a state it has already been in, if run long enough. Determinism then dictates that it will begin repeating outputs. It's odd as a requirement, but it's a natural property of a prng.

Indeed, existing anti-trust law would seem to be a poor way to solve a systemic problem of no redundancy.

But at least in theory, a law that required corporations of a given size to split (with some temporary tax advantages, etc., to continue incentivizing growth with splits, for the common good), would:

* avoid centralizing power in epically large companies

* improve corporate competition

* preserve more market redundancy

* introduce a powerful new form of evolution, since many new companies would efficiently inherit the culture, operation, innovation and resource "genes" of successful predecessors.

The combination of greater competition, greater number of new companies, and greater transfer of company success genes seems likely to create conditions for even faster progress, in addition to greater resilience.

This would be a shocking change from our current practices, culture and laws, not to mention the pushback from today's elite who's power may be vulnerable to such a change.

I am only half seriously, and only half not-seriously, suggesting this.

The half not-serious is the recognition that we have no experience with this kind of constraint on business. The financial gaming to avoid appearing to have too much revenue, etc., could create all kinds of new problems, while avoiding the seeming solutions.

But it seems like a thought experiment worth considering deeply.

EDIT: By encouraging greater numbers of smaller companies, the inequality between CEO vs. worker pay might also be mitigated.

Not really necessary. A reasonable person would take it exactly how it was intended: "Canada will ban all single use plastics (except where health or safety are at stake)." It's kind of, you know, implied.

Or SAS the statistical software. Crazy.
One part of mathematics that I rather like is figuring out how to phrase a statement as precisely as possible. (For me, this is also what differentiates good philosophy from bad philosophy.) I've been struggling with the best way to interpret the 2016 election results, especially with the 2020 election coming up. The most precise way to phrase it is as follows:

For each person who voted for Trump in 2016, at least one of the following statements is true. (A) The person was uninformed as to Trump's character. (B) The person was actively being misinformed as to Trump's character, in such a way that correct information was not believed. (C) The person did not believe that racism was a disqualifying factor for office.

Whether this statement reduces to the "vote for X or admit to being racist" depends on several additional statements that I don't think can be entirely stated. First, it asserts that (A) is false, that the amount of media coverage in an election is enough that no voters are uninformed. Second, it asserts that (B) is false, that there was no active misinformation being spread during the 2016 election. Given what we know now, (B) is most certainly true in some cases. Third, it asserts that (C) is equivalent to a person being racist, which is a valid position, but one that is harder to discuss without getting into the nuances of systemic racism.

Good luck trying to leverage software engineering experience to move into the trades like plumbing or mechanic work. You'll probably be laughed at, and then you'll start at the entry level just like everyone else.
Although I'm not familiar with the specifics of (1) and (2), the characterization that Intel "took a while" or "were really slow" to enable features might be a bit unfair. (I am also a former employee)

Keep in mind that Intel's ability to properly light up new silicon features on your PC often relies upon your willingness to update your software. For instance, even if the SMT scheduler fix has been written and upstreamed, the next Ubuntu LTS to integrate the change may be 18 months away. The end user will believe that Intel is taking a long time to develop the fix.

You did imply that:

"However" means "on the other hand" and it looks like you emphasise professionals.

> If you feel that way, that's more projection than anything else.

Source that a higher minimum wage leads to those undesired outcomes. My best reading of research into the effects of minimum wage increases is that it doesn't lead to higher unemployment, but may result in reduced hours, which is a different kind of raise.
This is really confusing to use the term "goodwill" here. It's a term of art in accounting, and despite this story being partly about accounting, it appears to have nothing to do with accounting goodwill...?

Maybe there is a reason why these repairs relate to accounting goodwill, but otherwise, I suspect journalistic malpractice.

That BOM doesn’t include r&d either. Something which the intel chips baked in.

Arguably the r&d costs would still exist for just their iPhone line. And I’m sure the cost to add a Mac line isn’t as much as the intel premium
It is hard to imagine how google loses raw search superiority, but the more likely scenario is that they lose their dominance somehow:

(1) social networks provide better basis on which to give answers/results to users, so FB “replaces” google.

(2) advances in deep learning make googles secret sauce not so critical, and lots of competitors provide good enough search results (and VC funding makes the build out of the massive data enters possible (I.e. the u er/Lyft scenario)

Side question: is google’s dominance really built on search these days? If they shut down the search engine, would it have a significant effect on their bottom line?
The primary fallacy is that racism is a Boolean value of some sort.

Gunpowder is meant to burn at controlled rates, but traditional gunpowder, black powder, used in fireworks and older firearms typically burns very quickly. Smokeless gunpowder for modern firearms have controlled burn rates. Depending on barrel length, etc. you may want the gunpowder to burn faster or slower to affect the ballistics. I imagine they use certain ratios of differing ingredients to control the rate of burn in fireworks as well.
