So the compilation issue is only with TLS, an hypothetical FLS would not have it.

The alternative to FLS is not storing duplicated data but use TLS and making sure that the compiler does not miscompile your code, either because you are extremely careful or because the compiler provides an option for it. Unfortunately compiler writers do not really see a future in stackful coroutines and are not really willing to provide a 'couroutine-safe' TLS mode.

Regarding the switch overhead, the fastest switch routine I have implemented does not store or load anything from any context-specific struct, only swaps a couple of registers, so an extra load might have a cost (trivial for async io, but can be noticeable for generators). Also, the way TLS is implemented on x86-64 for example is via a segment register which would need to be changed at every coroutine switch; updating it is significantly more expensive compared to a normal register [1].

Finally, as far as I know, the kernel does not use thread local/fiber local storage, instead heavily relies on per-cpu data. I advocate the same solution for coroutines, where, if you use a 1:1 mapping from OS threads to cores, the per-cpu data would correspond to the TLS of the underlying OS thread.

[1] Agner reports a reverse throughput of ~13 cycles on Neahalem. I think he stopped testing on newer architectures as it is a rarely used instruction; it needs to be expensive because it is not just a register load but it also has to update shadow limit registers. It probably has second order effects on the TLB as well.

> I see this defeatism all the time regarding climate change too.

And I see people suggest that we aren't completely screwed because we got 10,000 people to walk down a street one time. Its an insane position and we need dramatic measures that the human race in its current form are unable to enact.

* Climate change is going to happen because people like cars and supermarkets and nobody is asking anyone to _actually_ sacrifice anything. Much of the climate change movement is "someone else should do something about it" and those that cut themselves by going "off-grid" just make themselves quieter and are replaced by twenty more people with growing carbon footprints.

* Online security is fucked because the vast majority of people can't handle more than a modicum of detail. Its on the technical class (i.e. the 5%-15%) to protect it by hook or crook. It will lose in a democratic battle to preserve it because people aren't interested enough to care and its too complex.

My suggestion is that defeatism posits a better question to answer: "What do we do once we've lost?".

The answer to that question yields something useful instead of the suspension of disbelief that the human race will suddenly turn over a new leaf.
I think it's closer to "Celery is a great tool to get started, but as your product matures you'll end up falling back to a simple AMQP consumer stack":

- By default, task IDs are just pickled Python objects - if you want to change the location of a function, it might break;
- The whole process appears to be reloaded for each task - any heavy loading ends up being performed on each call;
- I couldn't find any "ops" documentation: how does it interact with RabbitMQ? How are deferred tasks implemented? What happens if a node crashes?

Although the API is nice, the product itself seems ill-suited for actual reliable, production use — at that point, it's sometimes easier to just deploy your own minimal API using the serialization format you've chosen to adopt (JSON, Protobuf, ASN.1, … ;)

> There’s a distinction between freedom to trade and legal tender.
uh? Obviously? The enforcement of a legal tender implies in a blatant lack of freedom to trade in whatever currency the parties want. It's an >implication<, not an equality.

> For private transactions, I can often use a different currency provided my trading partner agrees.
> In most cases where you feel like you are forced to transact in the local currency, you are being forced by your trading partner not by their government.

No. At least in the United States, Canada, UK, Brazil, most if not all countries in Europe (and probably all countries where Euro is the currency), and Australia (that I know of), any transaction inside their own territories to be deemed legal has to be made with the national currency.

> I somewhat regularly use USD currency in countries when that’s not the local legal tender. This is very common in the Caribbean and Central America. It’s commonly accepted (though less frequently done) in Europe. In some cases, shopkeepers have even arranged to offer me currency conversion services (often on their credit card machine) to facilitate their customers' preference to use a different currency.

Paying with USD in countries with other currencies on you credit card? No wonder you think there are not restrictions on what currency you can use. You're basically letting yourself be scammed.

https://thepointsguy.com/2015/06/dynamic-currency-conversion...

The fact that it appears that the merchant is accepting your money in USD (through DCC) doesn't mean they really are. It means that the conversion is done at their end. You might say they accept you paying in cash, then sure... In this case, they do. They might do so both legal or illegally. Now you're talking about tourism or things like small restaurants... things are more relaxed. Now try to do the same for large transactions between companies and, as I said, in most places – but not all – it'll be both illegal & enforced (and the banking system complies with these laws, so this is the first barrier to do so... unless you're talking about big companies that can have a holding overseas and so on).

It is an interesting result, I worked on the design of efficient computational engines for predictive coding type models almost two decades ago. Intuitively it seemed like this should be the case but it was never demonstrated.

Naive implementations were slow even at the time because obvious ways of prediction error minimization for these computational structures is fairly pathological in multiple dimensions. Somewhere in my dusty research archives is a new mechanism for doing close to optimal prediction error minimization at scale at a much higher efficiency such that it became practical. This might motivate me to revive that work; few people were interested at the time.
Show HN: Let your users record screen and voice feedbacks
While building Stories, we built Zest (https://hellozest.io) as a side project. Zest is a software (widget) that lets our users leave feedback 10 times easier than before.

- Users click on a button (they don’t have anything to install), and Zest records your computer screen & your voice so you can share what you love and what you hate.

- Companies installing Zest for their users: (1) receive more feedback (12x based on our current beta users); (2) get feedback of better quality and much more relevant (thanks to audio and screencast); (3) build a much stronger relationship with their users

If you are building a product-led company (SaaS), we just made it available to everyone: https://hellozest.io

The Post-Pandemic ‘New Normal’ Looks Awfully Authoritarian – Reason.com
Hi HN! It's been 6 months since I started working on this project. It was just a side project for a while but it quickly became my main work. I'm Imed Adel, 21, a CS college student[1] from Tunisia[2].

Centige is a collaborative website and web app builder. There is no need for learning programming and I'm trying to keep the interface simple (and magical) so that you don't even need to know CSS to get it to work. You can export HTML and React though, although code export is not my main focus right now.

As more companies are going remote and many brick-and-mortar businesses are going online, I am sure that Centige will have a huge role to play in helping those teams communicate, build, and grow.

I got the idea for project while working at my last internship. The company had a hard time updating projects and moving from the old chaotic code and infrastructure to a newer and cheaper alternative.

There are still many moving parts right now, but I wanted to follow PG's and Michael advice to "just launch". Expanding the editor and the components is my top priority, followed closely by adding memberships and a collaborative CMS.

I would love to hear all of your feedback on the product so far and what should my next focus be. Feel free to DM me or email me at any time :)

You also need at least a little bit of analog electronics (mic and speaker). Assume you can power it with a solar panel that covers the back of the phone though. (I'm not sure you can for reasonable talk times.) What now? You can't hold the phone in your hand because you're covering the solar panel. You're probably also going to be a little bit thicker than a credit card because of the audio.

No, that's not correct. The parent poster specifically made this false claim: "that's Excel's default behavior and you CANNOT TURN IT OFF!" The false claim is the part that the poster wrote in all caps. He said that this behavior can not be turned off, when in fact it can be turned off.

Your question is a bit underspecified... ECDSA by itself isn't an implementable protocol: you also need to specify a curve and an encoding for the values at a minimum and ideally a hash function too.

The common DER encoding used for ECDSA signatures introduces several behaviours similar to the ones being discussed here which differ between implementations. (Or, rather, DER itself doesn't but BER does and what things that implement DER usually implement is some subset of BER and some superset of DER).

For curves with a cofactor similar issues also probably arise there-- I haven't thought much about that since I just try to avoid cofactor generally, because it's a pretty big footgun. :)

ECDSA implemented as Bitcoin does today (post BIP66) with a perfectly strict and completely specified DER encoding-- a near-power-of-2-size cofactorless curve-- and an additional requirement on S being in the lower half of the range doesn't have these issues. ... except to the extent that someone could try to make an implementation copying some off-the-shelf-ecdsa and miss those specific requirements and only be partially compatible.
SSD may help in the case when a query needs to process data from many time series over big time range. Data for a single time series can be laid down in a serial fashion. When reading data from many time series, then many disk seeks are usually needed for jumping between time series.

This may be optimized somehow for common case when the query touches related time series. Such optimizations are implemented in VictoriaMetrics [1], so it usually outperforms other time series databases on high-latency magnetic disks with low IOPS.

Unless you instruct it to interpret the field as a string.

I'm wondering, if you expect 10 digits and you get less than that, how difficult is it to add some padding zeroes?
Second that method.

Intellij Idea Ultimate v2017.2.1 Final Crack and Serial Key Free Download
Back in late medieval europa most postal services had a back room, called cabinet noir where letters where carefully opened, read and resealed to check them for signs of treason against the crown or cross. These were often abused for what we today would call economic espionage. For these reasons many rich people employed private couriers who traveled to their business partners in person to hand over messages.
Those who could not afford such luxury had to rely on codes. The prevalence of such codes however increased the chance of being misunderstood by those who searched for treason. When the emerging middle class started to demand political power in the renaissance it was answered with violence and repression. Those who wrote the constitutions of all modern western nations understood that democracy can only exist when the state has no business reading the correspondence of its citizens.

Today many argue the state has a need to access such correspondence to prevent crime, but such a need is like the need of an addict: nothing good can come from it and the people should not enable these institutions to satisfy an ever growing demand for insight into their private lives. One must remember that democracy is founded on the believe that thoughts and words are not crimes and everyone must be free to express them-self in public, but even more so in private correspondence. A society that mistrusts its own citizens to a point where all those that whisper to each other are called criminals, dealers, traitors or terrorists is rotten at its core.

And yet some still say: but if the state can read all private correspondence it would be so much easier to catch criminals. And yes, it is true that these totalitarian methods ar efficient in fighting street level crime. However for society as a whole, such methods enable a terror of the state that is a crime against humanity itself. They say "but the state will never abuse its power" and i say: it did countless times before. Do not stray away from liberty and freedom for promises of safety made by those that profit from oppression.
Thanks. I was really worried the Auto industry was about to go through a Blockchain hype cycle.

Why not work on said technology? It can even end up being very lucrative to take up the cause. Do you forget that prior to the 90s (and also during part of the 90s) much of the lead-in to the completely common, widely commercially and privately used digital encryption we have today was completely discouraged or even made illegal by governments except for their own use.

It was a generation of pioneers who weren't quite so timid about working on new technology and fight absurd, archaic laws that built the foundations of modern consumer/commercial encryption. The U.S government especially tried very hard to chill these efforts too, and failed (so far at least).

People love to use Excel to look at (with their eyes, or a screen reader, i.e., non programmatically) all kinds of data. They use it to list exports from data stores, and then take notes on what they discovered, show and hide data using the filter option, etc. It is just far too easy to use (and misuse) that it ends up being used for any type of data that fits into a table.
