The prices of individual equities is determined by buyers and sellers coming to an agreement, not buy-and-holders. As long as there are two people who think they can take advantage of each other, there will be price discovery:

* https://rationalreminder.ca/blog/2020/1/31/there-is-no-such-...

From the article(s), Blackrock estimated that only about 5% of buy and selling is done by index funds, so the vast majority of market activity, where price discovery happens, is still with the active folks.

What are they supposed to fallback their 3D implementation to? It’s not for you, just turn the channel.
This is the real reason in my experience, combined with the bringup/support cycle that comes with hardware development. If you fork the driver for bringup, you buy yourself a lot of freedom to change things. During support phase, when the hardware is already in the hands of the customer, changing things is more risky and so you have to be conservative.

For example, maybe you had a chip bug in the previous hardware generation which caused the system to hang after several days of stress testing. You found a software workaround for the bug, but every time you touch the code you need to re-verify the workaround, which takes days.

Of course, the downsides of forking the code are also very apparent...

The rest of us are pro-choice, too. We’re choosing to follow the guidance of our well respected public health officials. Even if you are totally free to choose (you are where I live in Vancouver) this doesn’t prevent businesses from being impacted by the majority decision to reduce virus spread by limiting dining out, etc.

The solution, and the inevitable return to normalcy will come when people feel protected. That can come with herd immunity, which is nearly impossible (NYC had excess deaths in the same range as the Spanish flu and only has 20% immunity in the population to show for it) or it can come with advanced treatment, therapeutics and at some point a vaccine.

This is a multi year process but the result will be a return to normalcy, as happened with the Spanish flu.

I've had 4K monitors on both my work laptop, my PC, and my TV for as long as that was possible. Nearly 7 years.

This has cost me thousands and thousands of dollars.

My logic is that when I use a computer, it's the monitor that I'm looking at. I don't sit next to the case staring at RGB LEDs. I can't "experience" a processor in any aspect except speed, and that's been perfectly acceptable for a decade.

But I'll stare at the screen for 8 hours a day for work, and an additional few hours at home.

Spending money on improving the image quality of something I look at for 10+ hours a day is absolutely worthwhile!

This is also the advice I give people: Buy a bigger, better monitor than you planned, and make sacrifices elsewhere. A larger 4K monitor is a very visible upgrade in the literal sense versus, say, a few hundred more megahertz on the processor.
The Feyman Method!

yeees. Just look at the crappy Netflix 4k, which is less bandwith than a 1080p Bluray (like 30% less iirc). Now, obviously, it's a better codec, but h265/VP-9 (or whatever they use) won't give you a > 400% increased efficiency over h264. So, people are buying new Fire-TVs/TVs/GPUs all so that they can enjoy a 4k artifact show.

Meanwhile I've fallen under the hedonic treadmill and bought a TV. Sitting 3m from this 49inch screen, I play Netflix in 540p (on Linux) – and it totally looks fine. Well...

But, truth be told: I'm typing this on a 32inch 4K monitor. For work it's gorgeous (yet some people still buy FHD...).
Personally I used to think I couldn't develop comfortably on Windows, but Rust's tooling is so integrated under the Cargo umbrella that I've never run into a real issue getting it working there, and I rarely even find myself needing to do "real command-line" stuff while working with Rust. A single tool has it all covered, so I don't really have to write scripts or anything. I'm sure the story is less simple for embedded, but I'm not surprised it's totally doable.

FARA itself doesn't necessarily result in selective use "to punish the speech of anyone it disagrees." Rather one could argue any law can be selectively applied to punish some and not others.

What do you mean with "far more pleasant"? If it is about eye strain, your old CRT was probably either bad or you had it at a very low refresh rate. But a bad modern flat panel will have a lot of its own issues too (e.g. a very cheap Fujitsu monitor i bought some time ago had colors so washed up and awful, it was straining just to look at a static image on it).

If it is something else... i'm not sure what that would be. Can you elaborate?
It's not a special status, anyone has the right to deny you a hardware product as well. I don't have to sell cars to anyone if I don't want to. If I do want to sell someone a car, I can specify a contract or license that they must follow if they buy my car. Ferrari famously only sells exclusive models to customers who have been pre-approved, i.e. they have a certain amount of income and own 5+ Ferraris already. I also cannot walk into a Lockheed Martin dealership and tell them to sell me a F-22, even if I can afford it, even if my country has permissive laws regarding the ownership of fighter aircraft.

As for software, well, EA has the right to ban me from their servers if I hack their games, even if I did pay for the product, and this makes sense because it ruins everyone else's experience. I don't pay for HN but if I did they still would have a right to ban my account if I start posting slurs or other abusive content.

Is it desirable? Of course it's desirable; imagine having no control over your own creations and having to deal with the consequences of other people abusing it.

Songshift should get around this restriction by providing users a nice tutorial on how to become a Spotify developer and request an API key and secret themselves. This would be pretty much impossible to ban and detect.

Even better, make a tool that accepts your login and password and does that for you.

I'm not saying a line-of-code calculating program like cloc should change its behavior.

I'm talking about the right way (IMO) of assessing the software complexity of the codebase.

And I'm also talking about the fact that it is trivial to make cloc match my definition of source code size "if" ... the developers are willing to do a small amount of work by moving code-gen into the build process and not committing pre-generated code into the source, but the metaprogram scripts instead.

There's no reason for the US to have to provide evidence of 'holocaust denial' on those sites or anything else as they're sponsored by a known antagonizing regime.

US actions are reasonable and proportionate here. The Quds can use '.ir' all they want.

It really is a one of a kind story.

The filmmaker is incredibly ambitious, much like a lot of the startup founders we see here in the Valley.

He constantly held himself to such a high standard he eventually burnt out. But it’s this tenacity and drive that made the film possible. Diving daily for a year in frigid waters while doing excellent filmography, and then later stitching the story together into an mesmerizing narrative.

Much respect for this man.

The thing about complex systems is that you typically can't just say A causes B, which is what most people want. There is certainly a causal relationship, but it's a chain of events uncountably long, so it's best understood in terms of A improves prices and improved prices result in better resource allocation, as I tried to explain.

Disclaimer: I haven’t used bitflags (but I don’t think it applies for my need).

The nginx example in the above blog post seems like a bitfield! equivalent would be... unpleasant.

For very small structs that are just only wire formats, I might use bitfield!. But encoding/decoding protocol headers (e.g., a VP8 header [1], which has a 19-bit “size” field) or interop with other systems where you’d like some checking a la serde, bitfield! seems more verbose than “fine, I’ll do it myself right here against the u8”.

That is, even if that nginx example had a two-bit field in there, I’d take everything at the end and round up to a u8. Then read/write some of these “by hand”, rather than pollute the struct with lots and lots of macro “noise”.

Which law prevents them from doing it?
The "solutions" are all vapid academic cliches and fundamentally anti-intellectual that are woefullyy and ironically common of viewing thinking with numbers as an inherent evil. That toxic and insane worldview just goes uncommented upon as it is "impolite" to point it out as such. Same with the "algorithims are the root of all evil" willfully ignorant memes.

To be fair many of the common arguments to counter are really just assinine drivel like the history retconning "fake news began with the internet" and in the same breath demanding that they fix it and stating that technology can never fix social problems. Which is wrong on so many levels.

Saying to operate based on values instead of metrics? Metrics often are bad and epistimologically incoherent in practice but done right they have real power. Values are fuzzy things often clung to as tautologies - we are free because we say so and the king protects us while he sends us to war.

Look at the fashionable cliched practically indistinguishable from markov chain generator output about "involvement of the community and minorities" and low key calling experimentalists racist by claiming without evidence "minorities often bare the brunt of move fast and break things". There is no intellectual substance there - just using the downtrodden as sword and shield. The demand for "examination" and ethics are laughably stupid.

Yes just go ahead of time and understand the entire ill defined community and minority experience. That will be really useful when creating a new encrypted messaging service.

Yes more ethics committees that have proven worthless at promoting ethics - cynically it looks like their entire field is a shakedown of "hire us for bullshit jobs or else we will continually defame you with logically incoherent rhetoric that says nothing remotely disprovable!"

The whole thing infurates me that so much mental effort is wasted on more complex incoherent bullshit and that it is widely believed.
Coinbase's recent actions add interesting additions to the ammunition available for responding to employee activism.

I think the longstanding questions in this area are:

- are the activist employees just a vocal minority

- who will care (or support) if those activists are ignored -> who just wants to get back to work and focus on whatever it is that Company X does for profit.

That presents a somewhat cynical view of corporate culture. But, I'm very incredulous of arguments stating this isn't considered by companies that are large enough for employee activism to matter-matter.

CB essentially tried the usually avoided approach. It said it wouldn't support this stuff by implication (would stay "only mission focused) and gave healthy severance packages to those who wanted to leave. 5% of employees left, and the makeup of the 5% reflected that of the overall workforce. I have to think other companies paid attention to this outcome, although I wonder what internal polling and the like led to CB doing it.

This is exactly what happened with Solaris, and it turned out to be a rather massive problem because it meant that the community couldn't actually functionally produce a derivative distribution because the original released source code didn't actually represent the entire distribution.

Are there any architectures in production today where fractional arithmetic is meaningfully different than emulated block floating point and have an LLVM backend already?

I know there are some TI and ADI arch's with special fixed point data types built into their compilers (which are nonstandard extensions to C/C++, fwiw), but they are unsupported by LLVM last I checked.

I've also heard that those niches are having their lunch eaten by ARM M4/M7 cores which have floating point vector instructions, and you can write Rust to target those today.
