I'm not familiar with the Linux ring buffer specifically. It is presumably a multiple producer single or multiple consumer circular buffer, though.

Single producer single consumer circular buffers can be made pretty easily without locks. The producer writes to the buffer then atomically increments the head pointer. The consumer reads the buffer and then atomically increments the tail pointer.

Multiple producers get tricky without locking because they need to coordinate with each other enough to not write over the same part of the buffer. This can still be done via atomically incrementing a head pointer, though. The trick is that the increment has to happen before writing to the buffer rather than after. The buffer therefore needs to have a marker in it to indicate that it's ready to be read. A producer allocates the buffer with the atomic increment, writes it's data at it's leasure, then marks it ready to be read. The consumer looks at both the head pointer and the markers to tell how much data can be read.

Multiple consumers can be implemented by simply maintaining a tail pointer for each consumer. In order to be truly lock free, though, producers can't be blocked by slow consumers. Instead, producers simply write as fast as they want, and consumers do their best to keep up. A consumer can detect when it falls too far behind if you use counters rather than pointers or indexes; rather than wrapping around on increment, you wrap around on access to the circular buffer. That way, you can tell when you've fallen behind when your counter is more than the buffer size behind the head counter. You can either use 64 bit counters and never worry about roll over, or you can use a smaller data type for the counter and then size your buffer to be a power of two so that integer rollover doesn't cause a discontinuity.

> its less deadly yet more infectious brother.

Nitpicking here, Sars-1 is, as I understand, more infectious but also more obvious. So you don't have asymptomatic spread and other things. This ultimately comes down to exactly what you mean by "infectious" though.

> is totally unproven speculation.

At this point we have more known Covid-19 long haulers in the US than there are Sars-1 infections globally. Comparisons to SARS-1 don't much matter.

> absolutely does happen in bad flu seasons

Indeed it does, most people weren't aware of this, and covid-19 making people more aware of the danger of the flu isn't a bad thing. Get vaccinated!

> you’d have hospital A overflowing yet hospital B 10 miles away was at 30% capacity remaining.

There was a period of time when NYC was globally short on ventilators and ICU beds. Raw hospital beds were never a real concern.

Also worth remembering that NYC would have run out of hospital beds entirely if they didn't implement strict lockdown measures. The NYC (or really NY) stay at home order went into effect on March 20, and daily cases peaked plateaued 1.5 weeks later.
Let the hardware do best what it's good at, being simple and running fast. Let the interpreter/compiler layer do its thing best, flexibility.

Yeah, this is pretty much the opposite of what actually works in practice for general-purpose processors though – otherwise we'd all be using VLIW processors.
More importantly, the customers of the cpu vendors use benchmarks to evaluate potential chip suppliers, and Js benchmarks are near the top of the list for ARM now. Everyone from the OS vendor to the compiler authors to ARM itself are looking at the same operations, so instructions like this get requested and added.

There are also funny xaflag, axflag instructions in armv8 specifically to speed up x86 emulation on arm64. I believe they were added at the request of the msft emulator team.
Madoff and Musk are not even in the same bracket. Musk is an actual entrepreneur (albeit one that should learn when to keep his trap shut), Madoff is simply a con artist.
> Peer-to-peer bandwidth requirements for a single user increases linearly with the number of participants while a client-server model is essentially flat regardless of the number of participants.

True if the server integrates all incoming streams into one. However, in that case, CPU requirements on the server also grow on linear basis.

An interesting solution would be one where each client downscales the resolution of their stream to the actual space it would take on target computers. That way the per-user bandwidth would remain constant as smaller uploads would probably be enough to offset overhead of having multiple incoming streams (of course, each incoming stream already downscaled by sender and thus requiring only a portion bandwidth).
>If you have Linux, you are likely a casual gamer, and your best option is to stick to a gaming service like Stadia.

If you're a casual gamer you don't care about high end 3d graphics which completely eliminates the need for Stadia.

Stadia has a worse selection of games than even just native Linux and Proton lets you play most Windows games which has an even bigger selection.

I'm no expert but NZ houses suck. Little to no insulation. Some air can go in gaps between doors and windows, etc. Central heating is non-existant. Old stock. Mouldy. Damp. During winter some landlords tell their tenants to open windows to air the house out. That might be it?

NY Post is a tabloid FYI.
This is normal for your country which is self-sustainable, other countries cannot follow the same strategy for multiple reasons. I wish we were NZ, but we aren't. We rely on tourism, our whole economy has been build around that, closed borders and 14 days isolation will bury everything. Anyone can suggest a lockdown, but some countries cannot work that way and have to find a compromise, not bet on a vaccine somewhere in the near future (when?).
I believe what you're talking about ("...likely died due to being unable to access health care in a timely fashion" etc). is is exactly what contributes to an excess death. That's why excess deaths are important, they take into account exactly those deaths caused indirectly. (a bit unclear, but you get me I hope).

Interesting, my experience has been different, though I haven’t actually checked this in several years (I just always charge electronics first).

It seems like electronics used to ship uncharged because partially charging NiCad batteries harms them, and shipping fully charged batteries is dangerous. Nowadays, Lithium batteries are typically charged at 30% capacity before shipping. Lithium batteries were sometimes sent uncharged for some period of time in between.

I sure hope that sick people continue to wear masks once this is all over. It's basic human decency to avoid spreading germs - even the flu - to others, especially elders. This is the norm in Asia.

After COVID ends, I won't wear a mask if I'm healthy but I sure as hell will if I have a cough or fever.
My recent favorite mac kernel panic starts to happen when I connect my samsung t5 ssd to create a time machine backup. After some time macos hangs and then panics. I needed like 10 kernel panics to make it through the whole backup. Even better, I took my months of frustration to find out that my ssd was causing those panics. I mean who would suspect your backup device to be the root cause of kernel panics? It was connected to my screen so I completely forgot about it‘s existence.
I think it should though. Clearly, the company selling those vehicles is not capable of delivering what the consumer expected. "Roof Fell Off" is not a checkbox on the consumer quality reports, and it never should be.
Yep. Had this problem on my 2013 XPS 13 last year. Replace the battery before it gets worse. It's pretty easy to do yourself.
I guess if herd immunity is your best option you want to do it as quickly as you can without overwhelming things.

Which is why the “Lock down hard to flatten the curve” thing never really made sense to me. If you prevent all transmission you’ll just drag out the pain. I thought cases are just going to shoot back up when you open so what’s the point?

Stadia isn't a great option for anyone. You just need to dual boot unless you want random issues popping up every other day. With Steam OS dead I'm not sure who this is even for.

I can't imagine more than a significant of users will only purchase a game with Linux compatibility. Which the Epic store not supporting Linux your increasingly missing out on more and more games if your Linux only .

I will say I did have tons of fun in my desktop Linux days. Recently I've found it more a pain in the butt though. I feel like an old man. Windows npm and Python are now good enough I don't feel a need to run Linux locally. WSL for anything that doesn't work right
I love this sentiment.

Probably the best thing about my entire life is that my Dad was free and able to be at every single game, play, recital, or other event in my entire childhood (and for much of my young adulthood, to be honest.)

For me, work is 2nd place at best. Loved ones and meaningful moments are my priority.

Rounding mode was defined then and hasn't changed since though.
In general try to stick to the larger distributors or suppliers like Mouser, Farnell (or CPC in the UK), RS Components, Digi-Key, etc, or your countries closest equivalent assuming you have good consumer protection laws, if their target market is the business and industrial sector but they still sell to individuals it will likely be a good bet if a little expensive.

Another good choice can be hobbyist or educational sites that have some reputation to uphold, the most talked about online will be US centric like SparkFun or Adafruit but there's many European equivalents for example. One way to find them would be to find an authorised distributor in your country for larger projects like the Raspberry Pi and see if they sell the components you need. Chances are if they're an authorised distributor for a recognisable product then they're probably not going to risk losing their spot on that products website just to sell some fakes or dodgy components.

The key thing is to not buy directly from China or random eBay sellers from abroad if you can help it, return postage to China is prohibitively expensive and Chinese stores or marketplaces like Aliexpress won't always agree that you're entitled to a full refund without returning the item even if that item happens to blown up in your face, and likewise you can't really expect that small random foreign eBay sellers are going to be liable for selling you items that adhere to your countries safety regulations for instance.

One is a technology change, the other is a culture change. The former is infinitely easier than the latter, in my opinion/experience.
Agreed. Classical economics would say that as the labor supply is restricted workers would switch careers or be initially trained in careers that give them the most reward for their work. This means that candidates for the "retail manager" case would either be of lower quality or harder to find so increases in wages would be seen to offset that.

> Broadcast media outlets are not monopolies either, and they can't wantonly censor election speech like this by law.

You should clarify your argument here. News media can "censor" election speech by simply not covering it. In addition, if a speaker makes factual errors, the news station is under no obligation to refrain from commenting on those errors, nor are they prevented from providing correction. Most importantly, no newspaper is required to cover the same stories as another newspaper. CNN for example, is not required to cover the the particular story you're referencing.

Even with the equal-time rule, media outlets have broad discretion about how they choose to cover candidates. For example, Trump benefited enormously in 2016 from an incredibly lopsided distribution of coverage.

And all of this ignores that the particular story you seem to be referring to has serious newsworthiness issues.
Making pigments (aka cooking some rocks).
I think there is a really giant leap between comparing an economists statistical value of a persons life, and some number that we guess might be the "damage to the economy".

What I'm suggesting is that we make sure we have food security, make sure we can provide medial care to the best of our ability, then pay whatever it costs to save peoples lives.

I would pay every sent I have to stay alive. I think most people would. I think the governments should take the same approach.

And yes, sure, most of the time it's super hard to decide what to do, but for this virus, we know all you have to do it isolate from each other for a few months. It's not even that hard.

By "that research" you mean https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v... right?

Because it actually gives a slightly lower IFR than the CDC at age 55 (0.4% vs 0.5%), not higher. So I'm not sure what you mean.

> US roads are far more dangerous than UK roads.

Yes, according to the WHO(1) the US has a 3.6x higher mortality rate from car accidents than the UK, which gets us to 90x higher for the age group I quoted.

You're right that a hidden door has no affordance, according to Norman (though others have claimed "hidden" affordances).

However, I'm referring to the author's statements like these:

What's missing, the "static <thing>" is not an affordance, it's the signifier -- an indicator that the action is possible.
In the absence of a prevailing theory (in this case, supply-and-demand), people tend to go with their biases (in this case, the notion that every input that goes towards producing a product is comparably in value to the finished product). Here the example is the increase in the value of labor because some other more productive use can be found for the labor. Other times its the apparent discrepancy between a low-income worker contributing to the production of a high-value item.

WASM is _designed_ to be easily jitted, without the expensive machinery we had to put in place to do this for x86, so the whole point is not require a new architecture.

Because of this I find WASM to be the best direction yet for a "universal ISA" as it's very feasible to translate to most strange new radical architecture (like EDGE, Prodigy, etc). (Introducing a new ISA is almost impossible due to the cost of porting the world. RISC-V might be the last to succeed).

The complex processors like the PDPs were followed by risc processors because they were simpler. The hardwrae has to run code, I get that, but VLIW didn't work. Risc did. The x86 decompiles its opcodes into micro-ops which are load/store risc-y simple things. Simplicity was always the way to go.

I do take your point about VLIW, but I'm kind of assuming that the CPU has to, you know, actually run real workloads. So move the complexity out of the languages. Or strongly, statically type them. Or just don't use JS for server-side work. Don't make the hardware guys pick up after bad software.
Can this all be explained by the cost of labor being uniform (since humans are humans in all industries)?
