I never got as far as folding my own parachute, but I know they have to be folded somehow, and if it doesn't unfold properly, you die (modulo the reserve). So I'd speculate optimization could have a role in reliability. My memory is hazy, but I may have been told that the method of folding also affects how abruptly and with how much shock it opens.
I remember back in the dark ages (before the 2000s) playing with Postscript to add random perturbations to letters in order to generate semi-convincing "not obviously printed" address labels (for competition entries.)

Occasionally it would perturb too hard and you'd end up with one or more legs of your letter at some distance. Most aggravating.

Because antigen are cheaper but have higher error rates, PCR tests are more expensive but more accurate. Some people, I think B Gates among them, are proposing making antigen available to everyone and expanding capacity to 30MM/week.

So this could illustrate some issues that people should bear in mind when considering the antigen policy.

Cheese has a high tyrosine content and turkey -- tryptophan. Should one always mention that those foods could cause adverse effects for people who are sensitive to those amino-acids? I think that's a bit over the top, like saying that walking is healthy, but not forgetting to mention, that it is not, for people with severe arthritis. That seems like a truism to me and if one has those type of ailments, they most likely know about it or should seek medical advice.

I think price-gouging laws could also have something to do with this. Suppliers have increased their prices in what is essentially protracted inflation from demand. But in most states retailers are not legally allowed to increase price tags which was triggered in March when most states entered a state of emergency/declared disaster [1]. So the results is that retailers have to stop stocking these or they lose money; and the increased demand doesn't fully reach suppliers which means that in turn, manufacturers have also less incentives to increase production.

Except that UPI is a payment standard, Google neither has monopoly over it nor the only one payment company who supports UPI in India, there are many others like Paytm, Phonepe, Mobikwik, etc.

In our company we went the other road. We have the developers write the policies (since I mean, they know what their app needs) and test it in dev environments. After that, ops guys step in during code review to check for too broad allow in the policies. So far it seems to work in acceptable manner.
If you can actually do that, it reflects positively on your dependency's ability to make simple cases short and easy. Many libraries and frameworks actually don't.

That's what this is about.
Who says I would be at their mercy, for example look at Google and Android. Does it seem like Samsung is waiting for Google's release. Google has the most knowledge of Android yet doesn't sell nearly as may phones.

The only reason google continues this is because they make money from search, but if they had to make money from phones they'd have gone under.
Every electronic transaction you're involved with is already surveiled, so it's hard to see how that would change.

But how about NOT having to pay banks for instantaneous funds transfers to any 3rd party? And how about actually have instantaneous funds transfer to any 3rd party (something which does not exist in the US banking system)

Same surveillance, lower costs, faster payments.

TLDR:-

$ rewq standup

... would open a meetup-standup link... or just

$ rewq

... if its around 11-am, would open the standup link.

$ rewq notebook

... would open your jupyter notebook on GCP or show a list of URLs for all your notebooks.

The 8086 instruction set doesn't make things easy for the chip implementation. Intel tried to make a nicer instruction set (with the i432 and then Itanium) but it didn't work out.

The i432 instruction set was, most emphatically, not nicer for implementation. E.g. it had bit-aligned variable-length instructions.

Let me repeat that, because it's totally insane:

bit-aligned variable-length instructions[1]

I knew quite a few people who worked on the i432 implementation, and architectural decisions like that nearly drove them insane.

Intel top management at the time didn't have people who understood what was happening, and consequently let the i432 architects "play in the sand".

I always enjoyed that witty pun: "play in the sand" is what young children do in sandboxes; "sand" is mostly silicon dioxide and is often slang for what silicon chips are made of.

Woah, I have the totally opposite perspective-- that if you want to hire Elixir engineers you pretty much have to hire remotely.

Most locales have such a small number of Elixir engineers available hiring remotely is the only real option... Because Elixir isn't most folks first language the hiring-pool tends to be pretty senior level engineers (even if they're new to BEAM/OTP) meaning they can kind of choose to work remotely or not.

> And I suspect it’s because of the nature of Elixir jobs in general: load-heavy and systems-heavy tasks for critical roles (fintech etc), which means it’s tricky to hire someone thousands of miles away to do the work.

I don't think that's the case myself or haven't seen that particular issue. In fact, I won't forget an Erlanger I met once who was a very large company's only remote employee. I'd say the nature of BEAM/OTP mean you need to be onsite even less because the debugging tools are so good it wouldn't give you much.

You an remotely login to a running instance of your application and fire up Observer. No magic, hacks, restarts, debug builds, or bullshit needed. Be on the network, have the erl cookie, and fire up an eshell... It's awwwwwesome.

As others have said, I just think the number of places using Elixir is still relatively low compared to other more ubiquitous languages. You really only find Elixir/Erlang in the first place because you've probably burnt yourself out dealing with `NIO` everywhere else and want something sane so you can once again know the warmth joy in your cold dead heart.

/shrug just my two cents
>The US does not have a 'loser pays' legal system.

Even if it had, you'd still have to manage to stay afloat all the way to the verdict. It wouldn't be hard for powerful entities to let the process drag long enough to sink you in fees, even if you could hope to get it all back eventually.

And that would be a very risky bet too, would you bet a few millions against a, say, 95% chance that you'll get that pear logo or that "scoper" trademark? That's a 5% chance of losing and going bankrupt.

The only solution is for the process itself to be cheaper. The system shouldn't allow big players to bully small ones.
Didn't know that. But it makes sense given that podman already supports it. Btw, i did a quick search but couldn't find anything on this (docker's systemd support in rhel). If you happen to know where to find these patches, please send them my way. Thanks.

1) Big Corp approaches the single dev saying that Famous Boss of Big Corp is impressed by his project and would like to hear more about it and maybe acquire his project

2) Single dev shares secret sauce (if necessary) during due diligence

3) Big Corp makes a super low offer

4) Big Corp puts 2 engineers on it to copy the result

5) Big Corp is now Bigger Corp, and single dev is still single.

The Apartment (1960) staring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine: "A man tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but complications and a romance of his own ensue."

Great comedy, great film. The twist ending is also amazing.

It made me see that though 'the past' may be a foreign country, but we're all people just the same. The problems they had, and that we have, are the same problems. The good ol' days never existed.

It amazes me how seemingly behind US banking is tech-wise. My home country for instance has the Nigerian Inter-Bank Settlement System for decades; it's quite similar to the UPI but primarily led by the central bank (plus participation is mandatory for all banks/bank-like institutions).

For anyone that's curious, the platform's home page at https://nibss-plc.com.ng/ has a nice little statistics summary of both POS and account-to-account transactions (you might have to scroll past the fold). There's five-minute and whole day numbers for total transactions and error rate broken down into types of errors - it's a nice bit of transparency.

the air is fairly clean, and improving every year. whatever you think will be realized in 5 years has had 100 years to be realized, and has not been.

there used to be no catalytic converters on cars. gas used to be leaded. factories woyld burn stuff and dump it into the air without a filter. diesel autos had no soot filter and ran lower temp for extra unburnt gas. we used to clean things with cfcs.

right now, today, in the western world, is the cleanest it has ever been.

in chicago, a hundred years ago, meat factories across the river where the irish lived simply burned leftover animal parts. it would rain ash, 24/7. when those living there crossed the river to the office area without the ash, they would throw up from the cleaner air.

i have a feeling you are a millenial, and are just discovering a world of huge problems. what you don't realize is they are tiny, very ild problemq, that were huge and have been greatly and continually improving. you want to make changes to feel important, when the reality is, people have been working in this for a hundred years before you were old enough to notice, and what we have been doing is working quite well on improving things.

right now, today's air pollution where you live is having the smallest effect in over a hundred years.

this is like new adults screaming how bad trump is. because they don't remember bush, or clinton, or reagan, or nixon. and when they read about it, they think it's a story and can't imagine living through it.

"we're literal nazis now!" yeah, cops used to kill people in a union on behalf of corporations. we locked americans in camos for having squinty eyes. we made weed illegal to stop white women from screwing black men. we had drafts for overseas wars where no one attacked us, forcing kids to go die for nothing. we had bush and mueller - the honest superstar trump-punisher lie to congress on tv saying he found weapons of mass destruction in iraq and start an insane war. billions of cash shipped there and not arriving. and that air problem in india? that used to be where you live now. it got better.

the premium market for clean air you talk about? it didn't come when things were 10x worse. it's not going to come now, or in a decade when things get even better, as they have been.

the cheap non-premium market with cleaner air is the suburbs. your problem was solved ages ago.

Thanks for the link, but the Ars report provides some additional context that I think is informative and useful, and is written in a more readable style than the Checkpoint press release.
Why do I have to pay anything just for getting sued?

The other party should make the case that I infringed on their rights. If I'm sure I'm in the clear, why do I have to move even just my pinky finger? What fees do I have to pay? I don't care about the process, don't want to submit anything. Is there a fee for getting sued?

As far as I understand, the problem in America is that nonaction is often assumed to be an admission of guilt. But "actions" often cost money, or can only be legally performed by lawyers who take insane hourly wages. Crazy system.

While this is true a lot of banks would like to do it instantly as it would be an advantage over others and drive more people to sign up for the feature.

The real problem is most banks backend systems are still old mainframes where this isn't possible.

>did you really think that a huge company would offer to put microphones into your living room for your advantage?

can you not think of any advantage that google could gain from their smart speakers other than the nefarious ones? All these conspiracy theories here just seem so incredibly shortsighted. like yeah, google could listen in on your every word and do their best to fuck with you, but the instant they got found out everybody would chuck their smart speakers in the garbage. And tbh, google already has a ton of data about your preferences, your conversations at home probably aren't that good of a signal compared to your email, calendar, browsing, search, and location history.

Dynamic pricing for a greek vacation sounds scary, but google doesn't sell vacations, so why would they bother abusing your trust in that way - it literally doesn't benefit them at all. They want the smart speaker in your home because they want to be the service that you ask for assistance - they want you to say "hey google, book me a flight to mykonos for the weekend" instead of "hey alexa, book me a flight to mykonos for the weekend", because they can charge a commission on that sale. If you don't have a smart speaker in your home, or if you have another brand, then they have no opportunity to make a piece of that sale.
So it gives a services any privilege it asks for? I haven't read the article, but from your description it doesn't sound much better than default allow-all.

And the statistics are a mess.

With regards to coronavirus, people who die "with" coronavirus and die of say, a heart attack, are being counted as coronavirus deaths. They aren't dying "of" the virus, they just happen to have it. But this doesn't count as a heart attack statistic.

Not to forget, that there are financial incentives for doctors and hospitals to mark deaths as coronavirus deaths.

My gf at the time and I were looking to move to NYC for school. Apartment hunting isn't super fun - especially in a place neither of us were super familiar with that also happened to be NYC. AND we were going to attend separate campuses.

So naturally I wrote a script that scraped Craigslist for listings (1) in our budget, (2) calculated our individual commute times, (3) filtered the results so that commutes were under an hour or something and (4) posted the listings to a Slack channel with all the info I could scrape. It was working perfectly until she dumped me several days later.
I don’t think this is going to answer your question, but I gave a presentation at QCon London this year (back when in person conferences were a thing) on how CPU intervals work.

In terms of decoding instructions, there’s a stage in the pipeline which estimates the length of the (variable length) instructions and then passes is through to the next stage, which will then try and parse it. A failure here may cause a pipeline stall. Then there are other caches (like the loop stream decoder) which will bypass the instruction parsing for short loops, provided that the start of the loop is aligned to 16-bit. Processors can issue up to 4 wide (5 on recent intel CPUs) but some instructions may only be parsed by the first decoder. ISTR there’s more detail in Agner’s optimisation guides on this.

https://www.infoq.com/presentations/microarchitecture-modern...
In theory yes, but in practice it’s not too bad. Especially with Rust, or even Nim NIFs.

It’s only a problem if the NIFs crash (rate in my experience), or they take too long and cause the VM to hang (easier to do for big computations). Now with the newish ability to mark a nif as dirty which helps the scheduler know a nif can have longer runtimes that could block the VM.

P.S. Elixir/BEAM often also achieve resilience via connecting multiple nodes as well.
Short on Money, Cities Around the World Try Making Their Own
For the first example: I would be actually very surprised if Elixirs way of using a writev() for that tiny string is faster than a regular write. Based on my previous testing it was typically faster to write just a single chunk of data if the data was relatively small sized (e.g. < 10kB) - even if that meant copying data into a single buffer before.

Maybe one reason why Elixir doesn't do it could be that there are no cheap stack allocations, and it tries to avoid heap allocations at all costs?
