Today I learned six new things:

- Clang thinks compressing 0x104111 to 0x495 is a good idea
- Clang thinks 0x495>>((c-'a')>>1)&1 is better than
1<<c-'a'&0x104111
- LLVM has a machine code analyzer
- Godbolt has a button to apply it
- Clang is wrong about that
- Gcc-9 and newer prefers to index into a jump table,
instead of bitmasking. (!)

Yet another reason to set up a periodic contribution to Godbolt.

Not that well known in some circles. I decided this year to lose some weight and only worked out the mechanics of it after researching throughly. It never factored into my education or general knowledge. It was demotivating to be honest knowing how much of me I had to breathe out.

I will say that it was one of the best changes I ever made to my life.
Our school did not taught that.
This is a really badly considered example because Tesla exists and I'm willing to bet that a large portion of HN wants to own a Tesla vehicle. A better example might be US-made clothing, which often comes with a premium price.
Thank you for this site.

When Google Maps just came out and blew everyone's mind with their satellite imagery, there are plenty of online communities that focused on finding interesting spots on GMaps, and I was obsessed.

Unfortunately, these communities eventually died out and I never find something similar (admittedly I didn't look too hard, so open to recommendations of similar sites).

This is https://www.reddit.com/r/googlemapsshenanigans/ , but I feel it's way too low effort (almost nothing educational posted, people often just post the screenshot without coordinates and links, no real discussion etc.).

As for your awesome site, I wish there are more descriptions (some only have a title).

You can buy a detached house in the Tokyo Metropolitan area for less than a 1 bedroom condo in Vancouver, Canada. An old house for significantly less. This broad observation is easily confirmed by browsing real estate listings.

It’s kind of already the case.

Functionally mobile safari is the only thing stopping google having complete control of the web platform, just as MS did in the days of IE4-6.

There are a bunch of standards that google has proposed that are horrific for user privacy, and I would fully expect all google properties to become dependent on them if they didn’t have to care about mobile safari.
That's one of the reasons the US is cool. If you don't like the cultural environment in one place you can go to another and people do.

Maybe you are wrong in your assessment that they have everything they need.
I'd not be surprised if both severity & symptoms vary a lot by which bodily tissues are 1st infected & bear the brunt of viral replication.

An initial infection via inhaling a large "initial inoculum" (viral dose) into the deep lungs (its favorite cells)? Severe case, but less impact on nasal/smelling membranes.

An initial infection in the outer nose - which is to some extent the body's evolved sample-invaders-and-contain-them zone? Definite temporary impact on smell, but a relative immune-system head-start before viruses reach the lungs, so milder case overall.

(Some health-care workers have shown repeated positive nasal swabs, but remain asymptomatic & seronegative for blood antibodies, suggesting they had a very mild infection fought-off completely in their nose/throat. Some of these have also then generated re-infection reports, but similarly mild. It seems if the body has an easy time confining the infection the 1st time, it also never bothers to create a large standing army of antibodies – but that's exactly the situation where it doesn't need to.)
Well, they don't.
I think it's the opposite of pedantic. They're asking "where" the weight goes. It does not transmutate into motion. The weight has to go somewhere.

Is there a "bottom" to the greenhouse ?

Grape vine roots grow quite deep and at some point there is no need to water them at all, especially if you are controlling heat and humidity with a greenhouse.

However, if the root depth is limited I suppose you would need to water them forever ...
Yes, you are right. Actually I have 3 vps of mine, but the workflows I want to do is so simple, just like rss -> telegram notice, and some filter, I don't intend to run a big process for this on vps. I believe some others have similar need too, so, I made this to help them save time.

> What is going to be the impetus for this war? Who are the belligerents?

Probably white nationalists. I'm not a subscriber to the idea of a full-scale civil war either but with the trends in growth for extremist groups and continued polarization I'd be surprised if violence DIDN'T erupt.

I don't think your wholesale condemnation that it's "nonsense" is helpful. I live in a rural area and, anecdotally, I've been seeing more and more open belligerence as Trump's prospects for reelection wane, fwiw

We're back in the office 40 hrs/wk. Cubemates aren't exactly best buds, but today, we talked about: 1) motorcycle tire geometry 2) are Can-Ams really motorcycles 3) mechanical stethoscopes & car noises 4) the different types of superchargers 5) sports car vs super car 6) catalytic converters... I don't know, I would much rather telework 2, 4, even 5 days/wk. I don't think you're missing much, but I don't know your coworkers.

I think after-work hours are the big suck right now: teleworking 9-5 would be way better if 6-10 all the restaurants / bars / coffeeshops / .. were open (for that matter, coffeeshops 996 or st).

> For athlete because of short career timespan, time is precious.

Primarily because of injury. A year spent training but not playing has significantly reduced probability of injury.

And, it's not clear that delaying a year is actually a downside even normally.

Baseball pitchers, for example, have significantly improved career lifespan if you limit their exertion while they are young.
I think it depends. Writing a compiler in a low-level language won't necessarily result in better performance. It can, if you put in enough performance work, of course.

But if you want to keep the code simpler, a higher-level language could potentially give better performance, simply because it's easier to share data structures, avoid copying, etc. Additionally, things like immutable persistent maps are a great fit for environments in a compiler, and they are much easier to implement in a language with garbage collection.

That said, obviously some high-level languages are still going to be too slow without also putting in a lot of work. I think there's a sweet spot with languages that compile to reasonably fast machine code but are also garbage collected. Languages like OCaml, Go, Haskell. Though I personally wouldn't use Go, but that's for reasons other than performance.
I bet they do. Even if most of what is scraped is more properly considered as belonging to their users and customers, I'm sure at least some of what's scraped truly belongs to Facebook.

Even if the specific act of letting the extension run is the fault of each user and presumably means they each violated Facebook's ToS, they can probably sue the extension makers for bribing the users to violate the ToS.

> You'd expect individual applications might have out of date dependencies. Depending on the application this might be completely fine. This is not a security risk of flatpak but of the application. Developers are responsible for releasing updates, not flatpak.

Not so much in a system that links executable dynamically to system provided libraries (e.g. Debian), or provides system wide maintenance updates to statically linked binaries when their dependencies receive important updates (e.g. Alpine).

...which really covers every sane, actively maintained *nix system with a package manager, so in that sense Flatpak is definitely a step down. Instead of trusting, say, the Debian or OpenBSD maintainers to provide timely security updates, you have to trust each individual vendor of your flatpaks.

The only advantage I can see for them is in providing closed source software, which OS maintainers simply can't maintain and update. A developer advantage may be that the standard of inclusion is much lower than for Debian or OpenBSD, but that's IMO a user disadvantage.
Great! Now as soon as that Swiss army knife can also provide food, shelter, and medical care you're good to go.

>Many of them don't want to be in the position they're in.

I wonder what proportion. In some online circles, being a NEET is actually a bit of a badge of honor. In others (in fact, on both sides of the political spectrum), those working regular jobs (in particular low-paid jobs) are prejoratively referred to as wageslaves (or "wagie"). What's more, many hikikomori in Japan have developed pop-culture interests and spend their time consuming media. I can imagine someone in that state of mind finding it hard to get bored, but I can also imagine many who would get bored after a month or two. It may just come down to personal disposition.
This looks like a fantastic project that I've been waiting for for years! Burp Suite was my go to for a long time. Even when I left security and moved to development, I still use it occasionally for troubleshooting.

An intercepting proxy is a great tool for any web developer in addition to security research, and it's awesome to see an open source option.

Fair. Pipes were just the easiest way to describe the IDEA.
Wikipedia generally tries to take the approach of doing things they can themselves and using open source whereever possible. Most of the setup is documented at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org and there is a public puppet repo with all the server configs https://github.com/wikimedia/puppet

I’d argue most Facebook users do not know the difference between what FB does with their personal info and what this other organization does.

For those that installed the extension, one is Facebook, one gives free gift cards. Both are “okay.”

So I don’t see this as protecting users so much as ensuring no one else monetizes their data.
Is there anything to this comment except No True Scotsman arbitrary gatekeeping? The internet is full of "you don't become a REAL xyz until" followed by a gatekeeping filter which the commenter just made up, something they have passed and people they look down on have not passed.

What about being able to vote and drive and join the military, those are predicated on a legal value of "being an adult" which is a cutoff at age 18. Well we can guess that Saint_Genet really means something about independence and self-reliance, so exclude them. What about a trust-fund child who moves out but still gets money and support from their parents? Preumably the gate moves slightly to exclude those people because having to take responsibility is the REAL filter? And what about people who had awful parents and had to "grow up early" or take care of their parents? Shift the gate around them, too because they're respectable people who should be on the superior side of the gate. What about people who move out, have children, and rely on the grandparents for childcare and support - well they're adults because that's expected and an approved kind of parental support in US culture, no worries. People who moved out, had children, and want the state to fund childcare in some way? Adults? Not adults? Depends on how ruggedly independent and scared of socialism you are. Someone who lives with their parents but is self-employed and employs others whose income depends on the company being well-run, adult or not adult? Judge it based on where they sleep at night, because that makes sense. Someone who lives with their parents and compromises on a shared living situation vs someone who lives alone and has nobody to please or think about but themselves, and pays for a cleaner, and eats out every day? More or less adult?

Draw the gate wherever it makes you feel superior and able to look down on people you just put on the other side. Empty internet status-grab comment.
I'm also wondering if the caching strategy they are using is a naive one (ie: cache is valid for a fix duration, like 5 minutes) or if it's a more active one (like stakeoverflow), with cache in validations each time a page is modified/commented on.
Finally, an article that brings some illumination beyond R0, in how this virus spreads! This may be one of the most important articles published about SARS-COV-2.

The approach to effectively attacking "overdispursion" or "super-spreader" (stochastic) infection viruses is the opposite of normal (deterministic) ones -- backward-tracing, instead of forward-tracing. Very interesting result, which appears to have predictive power in the results of various regions attempts to suppress outbreaks.

Very impressed!
I earn comparable salary. I paid ~20k in taxes last year. There is a ton you can deduct. And the tax rate is progressive.
Yes they're moving out. I know for a fact that the complex isn't even posting all of their vacancies as my friend's now-empty unit has never been listed. I don't know how this will play out in the long term but lots of my teammates at work (3/18) have moved out of the Bay Area, at least for the short term.

Many of my friends moved back to their hometown to be near their parents as well. It's much cheaper and probably a once in a lifetime chance to really interact with your parents daily after college.

> Even the 150 doctors, dietitians and personal trainers we surveyed shared this surprising gap in their health literacy. The most common misconception by far, was that fat is converted to energy. The problem with this theory is that it violates the law of conservation of matter, which all chemical reactions obey.

For reference, if losing 10 pounds of body weight corresponded meant it was converted to energy completely, that would produce about 4 * 10^17 joules of energy. That’s equivalent to 95 megatons of TNT (or two Tsar Bombas) or 111 million megawatt hours.

> The only thing in food that makes it to your colon undigested and intact is dietary fibre (think corn). Everything else you swallow is absorbed into your bloodstream and organs and, after that, it’s not going anywhere until you’ve vaporised it.

This is an oversimplification; if digestion was 100% efficient, feces would be sterile. I think there are even bariatric surgeries that work by making the digestive system less efficient.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Glad to hear those organized chats have been helping out even if they aren't full replacements.

> "under [psychedelic mushroom's] influence I realized that most of my consciousness was unknown to me. It was as if I had spent my life in a garden until then, and now I suddenly discovered that this garden has a gate through which I can enter a strange and wonderful forest, that was largely unknown to me."

Crazy that psychedelics are illegal in so many places. There certainly are risks that need to be taken seriously, but their potential seems incredible.
In practice, I suspect it's less about pride, and more about practical issues. Bootstrapping means you only need to deal with one language ecosystem, instead of two. And, presumably, the author of the compiler would prefer to write code in their language over some other one.
At this point, I feel like frozen credit should be the default.
Small startups don't deserve this. With EARNIT, you couldn't make a Twitter or Reddit or thingiverse or anything with a chatroom unless you already have the resources to moderate all user generated content, use committee-approved broken encryption and whatever else they force on them.

I wrote to Purism about that more than a month ago. They are running an old version of Synapse that needs to be restarted periodically so as not to exhibit this bug. Evidently they still have not updated, and they have not even arranged to restart it periodically.

They said Element is asking too much money for consulting on how to keep your Synapse server up, and have no one on staff equipped to do it. So, whatever the status of Librem 5 the phone, LibremOne the service is not a priority.
