Thumb2 -- which is the only ISA available on 32 bit Cortex M devices and the main ISA for a decade now on 32 bit Cortex A devices -- mixes 16 bit and 32 bit opcodes arbitrarily, with 32 bit opcodes frequently on 16 bit boundaries.

It's simply Not That Hard to deal with. You just need to have two 32 bit words in your instruction decode buffer. Sometimes you need the 1st half of the 2nd word and sometimes you don't.

Incidentally, once you've done that, arbitrarily aligned (on halfwords) 48 bit instructions don't need anything extra.

Interesting. Seems overly restrictive to me, but I can understand the reasoning behind it.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know if members of the organization are allowed to do things like participate in pentesting?
What about newspapers and magazines (and the online versions thereof). They have a fairly explicit business model of advertising and have for 80 years. It's well understood by pretty much all adults that reading such a newspaper or magazine includes reading ads.

In a similar vein, recently there is a trend of comedians making it very clear at the beginning of their sets that their job is to tell jokes and push the boundary of what is acceptable, as this is what the audience is explicitly paying them to do, and that these jokes do not imply that they have the same beliefs. They have to say this because people have complained and tried to de-platform comedians for their jokes.

This article would be banned on facebook, because the view that covid still has many millions to kill in the US (sans vaccine) is the currently allowed truth.
Thus, we reify our perceptions as real, instead of recognizing that all objects are simply names and labels imputed over aggregates and the introduction of the mental afflictions that cause protectionist and selfish thought arise.

You're falling for something which I call the falling physicist problem.

A physicist was thrown out of a plane. He is aware of the forces that currently affect him and can even estimate his terminal velocity. Hell, he even knows that the atoms he's made of will be fine, since it would take energies orders of magnitude higher than his kinetic energy to affect them.

Nevertheless he'll go splat just like anyone else put in such a position.

This is why this philosophy isn't really that successful - it doesn't create any incentive to survive and perpetuate it.

Sure, you may have achieved ultimate compassion for your fellow man. Where's the benefit in that?
I have experienced major trauma. I think it's enough to justify what I've said. I'm not willing to answer specific questions about that or give you a list.

I don't think you are right to assume that a 33 year old has not experienced major trauma. That would not even be a valid assumption for a much younger person.

I'm sorry if my original comment was demeaning to other people who have experienced trauma. I can see how it could be. I meant to give people hope that you can heal (at least enough to get on) in many cases. I did not mean to put people down for struggling with trauma. I certainly have struggled with it.
I always wonder about these polls. 15% of Americans have an IQ less than 85. How do they show up on these polls? Same as median? More? Less? Should you discount them entirely?

Yes, many of the interactive elements look static. Anything built with this design would be very hard to use. And, as others have said, the accordion +/- buttons are reversed.
Another hypothesis is that there are stated and revealed preferences. Everyone thinks that they'd save children, but no one actually wants to save children. They want a nicer car.

Fine to bitch about lockdown. It sucks. Never hear any practical alternatives proposed though.
There is a political element to covid that is often... ignored.
Possibly it's under an NDA or something.
There are a lot of highly problematic claims in the article. This one stood out to me:

>Shutting down completely in order to decrease the total number of deaths only makes sense if you are willing to stay shut down until a vaccine is available. That could take years. No country is willing to wait that long.

Actually it might very well just be half a year until we have a vaccine. Multiple candidate vaccines are in phase 3 and they are already being produced en masse, ready to be released if the vaccines prove to be successful. And it's not like other countries in Europe "shut down completely" and remain shut until today. In Germany people are leading their normal lives, the only difference being that people wear masks in super markets, register on a list when visiting a restaurant and there are no mass events/discotheques. Remaining at this status for half a year or maybe a year to prevent tens of thousands of deaths seems extremely doable.
But they don't. TikTok doesn't request or require location access. I know, I use it.

I would question why I was not planning to go somewhere else. If that’s how you feel, then you should be changing direction. This might come off elitist, or arrogant, but you have one life. One life to spend, not only for yourself, but with the ones you love, and with the things you would like to deal with. It shouldn’t be something that makes you feel miserable, if you have any kind of choice.
No idea why I got Cap'n Proto wrong. Sorry.
Sweden is effectively as locked down as anywhere else. The prevalence of the virus is diminishing there because people are not going out and getting sick, rendering R_t<1. I don't participate in social distancing because my government says to, and I certainly don't stop because my government says to either.
For that I guess it comes down to whether the features you're relying on are purely optimizations (like partial indexes, fancy GIST index types, etc.), or go to the semantics of how the code behaves (like triggers).

I think for us it's the case that all the fancy DBMS features we rely on in the core functionality of the app are pure optimizations. So if we wanted to run tests on SQLite, that'd work fine except for when testing the parts of the app that happen to rely on those fancy DBMS features that aren't only optimizations.

But I'd consider that a pretty unstable situation -- it'd mean that we had one test setup for most of the app, and then still needed another test setup (with Postgres) in order to test some parts of the app. When I've heard from people working on apps that use different DBMSes for test and production, generally they don't take this strategy and instead they just limit themselves to the lowest-common-denominator features that exist in both. You can totally do that (many people have!); but as berkes's original comment above said, if you do you're missing out on some really valuable features.

And if you ever want to use even a little bit of those fancy DBMS features, beyond pure-optimization index features, in some core part of the app -- boom, you can't test on the more limited DBMS at all.
100K INR? Are you serious? Please tell me its for some part time stuff for college students.
Cynical perspective:

Trump doesn't want to reopen too fast because it won't be clear by the election (October, when mail-in voting happens) that this was a good strategy.

Democrats don't want to reopen too fast because keeping the economy shut down is bad for Trump's reelection chances.

Too cynical? Perhaps. But I do think that perspectives like the author's are dismissed too quickly because neither 'side' sees a way in which following this advice will help them in the upcoming election.

Regardless, it is a real shame that COVID has been so politicized, given the tremendous medical and economic repercussions that we are seeing.

“Abolish the police” isn't “abolish law enforcement”. It's “abolish the centralized, generalist paramilitary model of local law enforcement.”

The ability of a blanket law enforcement withdrawal from selected neighborhoods, is largely a product of, and historically has been applied as a negotiating tactic by, exactly the model of law enforcement targeted for abolition by people who Say “Abolish the police”.

> what happens if in a few more years, SHA-2 isn’t considered secure any more and some future security audit demands it be changed again

Then change it again? If you use the most recent available NIST standard it should hopefully be a very long time before meaningful (let alone practical) attacks materialize (if ever). If you end up needing to worry about that in a security audit, consider it a badge of success that your software is still in active use after so many years.

Using an insecure hashing algorithm without a clear and direct need is a bad idea. It introduces the potential for future security problems if the function or resultant hash value is ever used in some unforeseen way by someone who doesn't know better or doesn't think to check. Unless the efficiency gains are truly warranted (ex a hash map implementation, high throughput integrity checking, etc) it's just not worth it.

> a security-related technology was used for a non-security purpose

I would suggest treating all integrity checks as security-related by default since they have a tendency to end up being used that way. (Plus crypto libraries are readily available, free, well tested, generally prioritize stability, and are often highly optimized for the intended domain. Why would you want to avoid such code?)

This actually plays out different than you may think.

The likely reason the author is the one who always ends up in these situations is because they eschew fear and are willing to take on difficult issues. Most other people, rationally, run from those issues.

From my personal experience, this actually works out well for everyone usually because people like me who are happy to wander into difficult things are doing it precisely because those things don't have other power players trying to lord over them. Everyone is running from it, so you can get a good amount of independent autonomy in dealing with it.
And this is how it was described in US media.

This is pretty much my experience as well - Jira is used almost entirely by developers (and we set up the statuses/transitions/etc in the ways we find useful), while product organizes their thoughts in Excel/Google Sheets and will create/watch/comment on Jira cases but mostly not otherwise use it.
simd is a better fit than gpu for a lot of data warehousing workloads where you aren't doing much computation on each individual value and it's not worth the overhead of sending the data to the gpu. also true for search index performance optimization.
Doesn't sound corporate to me at all. Corporate to me is things like "increase synergy". Respecting the opportunities available to you by showing respect for your competitors who are just like you at the end of the day seems like a pretty real and relatable recommendation.

Sorry, the story totally lost me after she was describing the interaction with the FBI. I did not easily take away some conclusion about what she had done wrong or what deep pile of shit she had just created for herself, or what on 2 paths she had just chosen incorrectly, or daringly?

(The paragraph ending, "I trusted the FBI to be good at their jobs." The next paragraph jumps right to generalizations, and I didn't clearly understand from her writing what problem did she just cause without knowing it?)

Without that spelled out, I have a hard time really being on board with the rest of the essay. Actually, it's almost like they're 2 different essays broken at that point above.

Anyone else experience the same issue in reading it?

"Covid has at present killed less than 6000 in Sweden. It is very unlikely that the number of dead will go above 7,000. An average influenza year in Sweden, 700 people die of influenza."

The average number of people who die of influenza in the US is about 35,000. So we should expect 350,000 deaths and then we'll be all good?
Ah yes, as an American, I should be more scared of Google than the benevolence of the CCP. That makes sense. Thanks Jacobin for such an unbiased take.
This is simply guity by association. No matter what TikTok does, just because it's created by a Chinese domestic company, then all the political will are aligned behind the idea to automatically assume guilty, with even the slight trace of proof of the claimed misconduct.

Then there is guilty by association on China/CCP, based on their association with communism. Which by all accounts is largely nothing but name nowadays. CCP itself looks more like a capitalism organization than a communism party, on the spectrum from communism to capitalism. But most time, one random netizen wholeheartedly claims that CCP is evil, just based on it having communism in the name. Then anything Chinese people doing are tainted as well. Like I was called associated with Chinese government in [2], because I stated that "五毛" is being used too abusively, and "government hired net moderator" is probably better [3].

For god's sake, I am now routinely worried my future at this country, just because I come from mainland China...

Sadly what you said make sense. If its true then its likely this will be over after the election.

Fantastic project and well worth creating!

As another commentor has noted - this totally disobeys recency bias and throws up interesting articles for a topic.

Edit - it is disappointing how many of these links 404. But even if that's the case the headline and intro is a set of time capsules of sorts nonetheless.
The people who wanted power have it now, and they love wielding it. If they relent, the perception becomes that it never mattered in the first place.
Lockdown makes them heroes and wise politicians, saving you from something that we know very little about.
It's baffling that you would take this singular anecdotal factually-cherry-picked account of one doctors experience during one nations allegedly ineffective (lack of a) response to COVID as sensible advice moving forward.

For one, his per-capita-death-rates are wayyy off. (1 out of 200 dying? try around 8% in Spain and Italy...)

For 2, yes, it's precisely about slowing the spread
1) giving a chance for emergency services to handle the influx instead of being slammed in one go
2) attempting to quash a given outbreak

So many sweeping generalizations here and so little counter-point to the facts the general public have become well-acquainted with, I'm afraid our Good Doctor seems a bit eccentric and witless writing such a trivializing dismissive blog post.

Let's call him "an outlier" even for Sweden, as travel is not making his strange claims that "covid is over for Sweden" look even sillier.

Covid is not finished for "the world" at large, and it's an interconnected world, and suspicion of "t-cells bearing COVID immunity rather than antibodies" as if the PCR were just a cheap placebo test and no antibodies were detected in prior COVID sufferers (it does detect them.)... this is all making light of what deserves serious engagement.

Fire this man or get a committee investigating his various claims as flippant blogs are not the appropriate realm for such incendiary topics.
>Trump doesn't want to reopen too fast because it won't be clear by the election (October, when mail-in voting happens) that this was a good strategy.

>Democrats don't want to reopen too fast because keeping the economy shut down is bad for Trump's reelection chances.

That's basically a conspiracy theory because the Democrats would need to coordinate this political stand and also conspire with medical health advisors. Unless you claim that every democrat has come to this conclusion by themselves.
This doctor[1] is basically claiming that all of Sweden, or the vast bulk, have had SARS-CoV-2 and are now immune. This goes completely contrary to every medical authority, and is the sort of claim that generally gets something removed as disinformation. Disinformation does well on HN.

Of course you get to the article's slant when it claims that Sweden is "normal" right now, which is an outrageous lie.

Virtually all events are cancelled. Social engagements are non-existent. Streets are empty. Huge percentages of people work from home. Bars and restaurants were closed for a period of time in hot areas, and regardless have operated under a significantly reduced capacity. Sweden's summer school break began at the PEAK of their outbreak, and we'll see what happens when they return in a little over a week.

Sweden's societal reaction to COVID-19 is basically optimal as a general society, and some parts of the US that are "locked down" have much higher social engagement. Either we've redefined normal to be "completely and absolutely unlike the before times", or this guy is just twisting reality pretty generously because he likes the views, particularly among a certain conspiratorial segment of the US population (a Swedish MD whose blog is in English).

You win the prize for the understatement of the century.

The ideological clarity of the covid regime is sublime. All sorts of debated matters are decided, by "science", and that is that. Whether by accident or design, the covid regime, the "new normal" that MSM has been educating us about from the very beginning, is a blueprint for a global authoritarian technocracy with its own internal logic, ethics, and mores.
What are the differences then?

And why do you think CCP has control over TikTok?

Edit:
What are you implying here?

Some CCP members are having party activities inside a private company.

Are they plotting a plan to force Mr. Zhang Yiming to spy on US teenagees?

Or are they just doing the typical CCP "study" activity to learn the retheroic from Mr. Xi?

Who are these guys, are they senior executives in the company? Or random employees who are CCP members.

In the end, what do you want to get from the picture, depends a lot on your prejudice.
There was no paper, sorry, we talk about some of the research here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP0Y1uAA-2Y
big julia demo 40 minutes in. But the video doesn't feature the results I talk about (that happened a few months after the video) the specific results are somewhere in a DARPA presentation (but I don't have those slides, and the data are like 5 laptops back for me). The parallelism was, well, Gustafson parallelization, I pushed a randomly-generated 10k x 10k matrix solve to each of the nodes with a custom soft floating point to measure the relative numerical accuracy. Each node did all of one run per core, it was done very fast, but it would have taken months on a pc. As it was a gustafson scaling at its finest, there was zero cross-node communication during the computation.

The containerization I used was singularity. I don't really love them much anymore, for various non-technical reasons, but it got the job done.
