Thanks, haven't seen his yet; my suggestion is Clough42 - especially for the HN crowd since he's a software engineer, electronics hobbyist, and has a 3D printer too, so it's a really nice mix - not just in the sense of (metal) machining one video and something else the next, but unexpected combinations of them (e.g. 'I need a fixture to hold this - over to the 3D printer') that make it really interesting and more varied than most others I watch on YouTube who mostly have their one thing. (Marius Hornberger is another quite like that - but swapping electronics for mechanical stuff, and metalworking for woodworking.) A/V production quality is great too.

Professionalism has been entirely absent from the top-level handling of the pandemic. It's not entirely clear from the article who's responsible for this, but I note that the so-called "NHS" test and trace is in fact an outsourced organisation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHS_Test_and_Trace run by Tory placewoman Dido Harding.

> "She is a former chief executive of the TalkTalk Group where she faced calls for her to resign after a cyber attack revealed the details of 4 million customers. A member of the Conservative Party, Harding is married to Conservative Party Member of Parliament John Penrose and is a friend of former Prime Minister David Cameron. Harding was appointed as a Member of the House of Lords by Cameron in 2014. She holds a board position at the Jockey Club, which is responsible for several major horse-racing events including the Cheltenham Festival. "

> "In May 2020, Harding was appointed by Health Secretary Matt Hancock to head NHS Test and Trace, established to track and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in England. In August 2020, after it was announced Public Health England was to be abolished, Harding was appointed interim chair of the new National Institute for Health Protection, an appointment that was criticised by health experts as she did not have a background in healthcare."

> I think a large contributor to the problem is story-oriented development, where all that matters in the sprint is "getting it done" and not looking at the broader context.

I think you have a point here. This design offers much better safety, comparable to "parsing instead of validating". But it requires up-front design. And that is indeed "verboten" in modern software development management style.

Why is it "verboten"? I think it has to do with two fundamental concepts of scrum et. al.:

1. Stories that are "ready" just need to be "implemented". The implication is that the developer does not design and everything is orthogonal. There are no interdependencies, maintenance effort or non-functional requirements.

2. A story that is "ready" focuses solely on the desired outcome for some selected examples. There is no generalization of the examples and consequently little to no abstraction.

I think these issues stem from the fact that Scrum et. al. are intrinsically tools for managers to isolate them from the complexities of software engineering. Every metric of scrum, for instance, like "progress" or "definition of ready" is essentially empty of meaning for software engineering.

Concurrency - computer science:
In computer science, concurrency is the ability of different parts or units of a program, algorithm, or problem to be executed out-of-order or in partial order, without affecting the final outcome. This allows for parallel execution of the concurrent units, which can significantly improve overall speed of the execution in multi-processor and multi-core systems. - Wikipedia

If you start delving into how, you quickly lose the overall meaning of the concept over to specific implementations.

You shouldn't use time in this scenario at all, but wait on a condition. It's unreasonable to expect a non-realtime kernel to offer this precision with timers. Doing serious audio work on non-realtime kernels, you have to expect such issues.

I would like to hear from those here who believe these two things simultaneously:

1) People should stop using whimsical group names like "murder of crows" because it is a arbitrary and made-up, but

2) people must follow these rules:

- No split infinitives (e.g. "to boldly go" is incorrect)

- No ending on a preposition ("that's something I will not put up with" is incorrect)

- Double negatives = positive ("can't get no satisfaction" means "can get satisfaction")

- No starting with a conjunction ("And in conclusion..." is incorrect)

Why should the first be dropped but the second maintained?

Interesting! I could swear organic milk in a carton lasts at least twice as long as regular milk in a jug.

It does say ultra-pasteurized (the carton), so I guess I've been drinking basically-UHT organic milk along with regular. The organic tastes way better to me, so maybe I don't mind the UHT flavor (or lack thereof). The milk I buy is all refrigerated fwiw, I haven't tried room temperature UHT to compare taste.

> I think a large contributor to the problem is story-oriented development, where all that matters in the sprint is "getting it done" and not looking at the broader context.

I think that's exactly backwards. This kind of overcomplicated representation usually happens because people put too much effort into designing their representations up front. If you follow story-oriented development and only implement the parts they actually need to get the current task done, you never end up with these wasteful extra states because you never actually needed them. But people think that planning before coding is somehow virtuous, and then they're tied to following those plans.
> Same issues and resolution affect all of the other mechanisms you mention.

Really? On versions prior to 20H2? This gives me 16ms resolution for SetWaitableTimer but 1ms for timeSetEvent:

#include <tchar.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <MMSystem.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")

static unsigned int prev_time = timeGetTime();

VOID CALLBACK callback(LPVOID lpArgToCompletionRoutine, DWORD dwTimerLowValue, DWORD dwTimerHighValue)
{ unsigned int now = timeGetTime(); _tprintf(_T("%u\n"), now - prev_time); prev_time = now; }

void CALLBACK callback(UINT uTimerID, UINT uMsg, DWORD_PTR dwUser, DWORD_PTR dw1, DWORD_PTR dw2) { return callback(NULL, 0, 0); }

int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR *argv[])
{
enum { msec = 1 };
HANDLE handle = CreateWaitableTimer(NULL, FALSE, NULL);
LARGE_INTEGER due = {};
SetWaitableTimer(handle, &due, msec, callback, NULL, FALSE);
for (int i = 0; SleepEx(100, TRUE) == WAIT_IO_COMPLETION && i < 30; ++i) { }
CloseHandle(handle);
MMRESULT id = timeSetEvent(msec, 1, callback, NULL, TIME_PERIODIC | TIME_KILL_SYNCHRONOUS);
Sleep(100);
timeKillEvent(id);
}
This is the new reality.

Again, on windows using waits on kernel objects has the exact same result. A signaled object will only wake up the waiting thread at the timer interrupt, so it doesn't matter if you use sleep(1) and check if there is work to do, or if you use a kernel object and wait on it - the time spent sleeping will be exactly identical.

> I'm sure that in certain contexts you might even throw in a totally bogus, invented term and a human would be perfectly able to match this with the assumption that you're referring to "a group"

I'd go as far to venture that in all contexts you could throw in some made up term. It will be understood by the other person, however they may think that you're a bit strange for referring to "an orgy of ants" for instance.

That's the funny thing about language; it's highly contextual, and humans are great at filling in the gaps based on context if there is some part of a communication that is not understood, miscommunicated or not even heard.
I can 100% guarantee that if your system time resolution is 16ms, that timeSetEvent won't actually trigger in 1ms, no matter what it reports.
I appreciate what people are getting at with “make invalid states unrepresentable”, but it can't be the best description of what the true objective is. After all, the first language to make invalid states unrepresentable was probably TECO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TECO_(text_editor)#As_a_progra... ...

> what I want to do is "wait until there is more work available to process"

If this is merely to free up CPU when you have no work to do, then the actual timing of 1ms vs 16ms doesn't seem like the issue, right? Shouldn't you be instead waiting on a condition that gets set when work is queued? Like an event object, or an I/O completion port, or something that indicates work is ready? Instead of polling for the condition?

> On Windows the "as soon as physically possible" part is unfortunately 16ms in most cases, and that's just not acceptable for something as precise as audio work.

Aren't you contradicting yourself here? If you're doing audio don't you want periodic multimedia timers? Which are built for this purpose and actually also do deliver the resolution you need?

Well, there's a fine line here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's hardware based IRP completion (like DMA done, network card received a packet or whatever), your thread could wake up very soon after I/O completes, long before the next timer tick.

But this is not something you can use for timing, unless of course your hardware is built to do so.

Basically, the name of the game is location location location. It's very tough to find a good lucrative location to put your machine at. Why? Because there's likely already a machine in such location.

Also, it's a numbers game as many locations don't make that much profit per month. Therefore you have to have many machines, and getting 50-100 machines in great locations is no easy task.

As I said, yes it 'can' be true, but it isn't. But Tesla isn't living of subsidies, that is just a nonsense claim that gets repeated by uninformed people. In fact, of US automakers they have had the least amount of help in the last 10 years.

Tesla has been operating without the EV tax intensive for a while now, while all their competition (outside of GM) still have it. So if anything the US government is helping VW, BMW, Daimler, Nissan and so on MORE then they are helping Tesla (or GM) at the moment. A pretty insane policy if you ask me but I guess the US government didn't really think it threw.

Ford hasn't even payed back the credit from the 2008 crash to the government. And GM clearly got the most help this century.

It looks like a variation of Run Length Encoding to me, where the 'Run' is a duration instead of a count.
It's interesting to see a game use case via linked pdf. They increased concurrency by overlapping the processing for two frames (alternating gameplay and rendering code) because there were too many idle cycles when doing one frame at a time (which took 25ms instead of ~16ms for 60fps). This is after they had made all the jobs run as concurrently (and parallel on SPUs) as they could and reducing locking as much as they could per frame.
Although you might have done already, it'd be worth contacting Chowbus to report this. There's an email contact in the footer of their homepage; I couldn't initially find a security-related contact address, but they may have one too.
