Random read and write of a big memory region could now presumably cause double the number of DRAM accesses, and half the performance, since the tag mapping will need to be read in addition to the actual data. If the read of a memory address could have side effects (as is common with memory mapped hardware), does the hardware give guarantees that the tag will be checked before the memory is read or written? If so, that'll be an even bigger performance hit...

One great way to fix this which preserves FPTP (if there's a culture for which replacing it is seen as too much change, or too complex) is FPTP with a run-off vote for the final two candidates, allowing for variety while also keeping the voting system pretty much unchanged, albeit there's now a possible second vote. In the 2017 French presidential elections, we hear so much about Macron and Le Pen, but they only made up about 45% of the vote in the first round.
The hard work included producing and selling a film of their experience, which might obscure the natural profitability of what they are attempting to do with the castle.

I think most banks bet on Java/the JVM.

C is too low level and, security-wise, too dangerous, and I would think any bank would say Rust hasn’t proven itself yet. I also would think it’s too low-level for typical banking software (that doesn’t mean no banking software should be written in it)

Database-wise, I would pick postgreSQL, but I’m not sure banks will want to pick a solution that isn’t backed by a large company.
After 3 minutes of commercials and this voice I had to switch off. Too bad, I am sure CL had interesting stuff to say.
I think it has. It is a subjective judgement but they used to have more products that were of higher grade than they do now. As an example, my parents had a garden table bought about 10-15 years ago. They now bought another one, very similar but still not. The finish was less exact, and the entire impression a step down. With the tables next to each other, very easy to see which is better made.
I haven't gone by Andy since I was 8 years old. Using an unasked-for nickname feels condescending and even like infantilization - which admittedly is in line with the tone of the your response. The HN guidelines request that we "Be kind. Don't be snarky. ... Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."

As I wrote in the comment you replied to, "Of course there's better ability to detect cases." I thought that was obvious enough to not need further elaboration. I seem to have been wrong, so I will further clarify.

June is roughly when covid screening was available to everyone. Eg, the local pharmacy offers antibody testing. You'll see that's when the number of known cases went up even though the intensive care and death rates decreased.

Thus, it makes no sense to compare as you did October's reported case incidence - when widespread testing was available - directly with April's - when it was not.

In addition, the question I replied to was "has the spike in cases corresponded with a spike in hospitalizations?" The answer is still "yes". There has been a roughly four-fold increase in reported cases over the last six weeks, and there has been a roughly four-fold increase in the number of intensive care cases over the same period of time. That's by eyeball, so increases might not match that precisely, but it's still a correspondence.

Since the lockdown we have is no longer effective at keeping the rates low, it makes sense to "sharpen" the recommendations.

Tell me how I'm wrong that that's not a correspondence. And hopefully with less snark.
It's a shame we're using the top of pointers for other data... It's almost as if we didn't learn from the "3gb memory hole", the "gate a20 memory limit", and countless other times when using special address bits came back to bite system designers as RAM got bigger...
When standing on Earth we experience a frame of reference that is accelerating upwards, causing objects in free-fall to move along parabolas, as seen in the accelerating frame of reference on the left.

In the UK it was completely different. You didn't go to toy stores to buy computers, we had a number of Electronics retailers and department stores that sold them. They were in Dixon's, Curry's and Comet (all electrical retailers, the former two still exist in some type of form), but also places like Boots (mainly a chemist/pharmacy), WHSmith (mainly a book, stationary and newspaper retailer), Department stores like Debenhams. There were no "mom and pop" computer stores. They were usually all on display, and all very accessible. We had a massive programme to learn about computers in schools so we all knew how to write some basic, and kids would walk up to them and code little demos (some version of "10 print "this store stinks": goto 10" was common). The computers on display differed, but you'd see ZX Spectrum, C64, Oric Atmos, Amstrad CPC range and other lesser known players. But Apple was unknown. Not one, ever. If you wanted an Apple you needed to go to a specialist dealer, and generally they were few and far between and super expensive.

By the time the 16-bit computers came about, they were mainly in stores like Curry's and Dixon's, and very accessible. I had an Amiga 500, and most of my friends did too, except one poor chap with an Atari ST.

There was a one "mom and pop" type store in my town by the time I got to my late teens. They sold a lot of the big box Amigas, some PC's and import consoles like PC-Engine. But they closed in the late 90's. I remember buying a used black and white TV from their closing down sale for £10.
I don't think they'll hurriedly change this though. It's a nerd joke for nerds, so it's probably able to slip by PR.
I see it less about the expressive ability of having multiple parties to express your political positions, and more about the fact that competition is good. In other countries, when a major party is embroiled in scandal, they usually lose power for a few years and sometimes another party emerges from their ashes. You don't have that happen in the US, and it's overdue.

In all seriousness, yes, I'm actually thrilled at the continued prominence of sugar-free drinks. We still have an obesity epidemic going on, and sugar-free drinks to me seem like a true have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too offering. Having people switch from sugary sodas to their sugar-free equivalent seems like the easiest win to improve health.

I get the argument "Just drink water", but do the people making that argument really think that everyone is going to do this? And why should we anyway? Research continues to show that artificial sweeteners are harmless, and drinking soda is just plain fun.

Tribalism is anti-democratic. Partisanship encourages us to vote not for individuals as individuals, but according to affiliations.

Political issues exist in more than two dimensions. I am not a member of a political party. I don’t exist on a political spectrum. I’m not a liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, socialist, capitalist. I’m an independent individual, not a category, and I can vote for whoever I think is best.

I finally got to the bottom of this, after moving in with my wife. I never owned IKEA furniture, but inherited some of hers. Her big chest of drawers wobbled, and some of the drawers were blowing out the bottom.

To her, and to anyone else, this is a shit piece of furniture. The truth is that it’s largely operator error. “High quality” furniture is almost impossible to fuck up. It’s preassembled and built like a tank.

IKEA furniture is what the owner makes it. If the owner builds it well, and keeps the screws tight, and doesn’t overstuff it — it’s brilliant stuff, and will last a long time.

If the owner does a half ass job putting it together, and lazily tightens the screws, and expects it to stay good forever with zero maintenance, it will devolve into crap.

You could find an analogy between Mac vs. Linux here somewhere — though, it’s not perfect.

Anyone who thinks IKEA is anything less than an industrial design marvel should go buy a few things there. Having done so recently, my perspective has completely shifted, and I actually love IKEA.

I think you run a much bigger risk of a "West Coast" party in the FPTP system (looking at SNP in the UK).

In a proportional system, California and the west coast is not pure blue or liberal or some new "independence party". Without even looking at numbers I'm sure California alone has as many or more conservative leaning voters than Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho, and the Dakotas combined, we just never see it thanks to our antiquated setup.
The myth of all "new" IKEA things being shit is as old as I remember. People said the same thing 20 years ago and when I asked my parents they told me people also said it 40 years ago. Each time IKEA changes to a different production method the old "shit" gets magically elevated to 'very good and far better than their new things'. If that trend was real most new IKEA furniture should fall apart before you assemble it.
Lots of complaints here about IKEA furniture durability. My house is full of IKEA furniture and so far none[1] of it has fall apart.

I think these tips can go a long way:

- use proper tools instead of the cheap tools that come with the product

- if you use a power tool on a screw, only use it for 95% of the task. finish the job with a hand-tool or you will do damage.

- do not over-tighten things which screw into wood

- metal into metal? LOCTITE.

- you're really not going to disassemble that coffee table or small check of draws, so just use a bit of wood glue

The great think about most IKEA furniture (or more generally, wood furniture) is that you can modify/fix it when it breaks. Good luck fixing those broken welds on your metal chairs!

(1): Okay so my Lack coffee table fell apart, but it's also ~£5. I repaired it with wood-glue and masking tape, good as new, then gave it away for free on FreeCycle.

I think this point can only be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. On the one hand, if there's an easy win that would defeat some nefarious use case while not impacting legitimate ones, it should be taken. On the other hand, it's a fact of nature that a human can weaponize anything if they put their mind to it, so it's impossible to design technologies that cannot be used for doing harm to others.
I have been thinking about this a lot. The difference in preferences between classes of investors can be be huge. Pension funds and the like have massive amounts of capital and a constant demand for cashflows but relative low manpower, so they are looking for very stable investments. Angel investors are almost the opposite as they have much more "labor" available relative to their capital, so they are looking for speculative stocks where they can contribute knowledge and connections to make a difference. There is a whole spectrum of investors between these two and it makes sense for stocks to slowly migrate to being owned by the "boring" end as the underlying company matures.

NY Post is a tabloid/rag with a pretty bad reputation

and even their reporters didn't want to publish it

https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-nyt-hunter...

> The New York Post’s front-page article about Hunter Biden on Wednesday was written mostly by a staff reporter who refused to put his name on it, two Post employees said.

> Bruce Golding, a reporter at the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid since 2007, did not allow his byline to be used because he had concerns over the article’s credibility, the two Post employees said, speaking on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

...

> Many Post staff members questioned whether the paper had done enough to verify the authenticity of the hard drive’s contents, said five people with knowledge of the tabloid’s inner workings. Staff members also had concerns about the reliability of its sources and its timing, the people said.
Is this really still a problem with virtual memory management? The virtual address space size could be a property of the process (e.g. 48 bits vs the full 64 bits). The vast majority of applications today doesn't even need more than 32-bits of address space and could use the top 32-bits for something else if the memory mapping hardware ignores the unused bits).
my coworkers purposely answer questions bad so that the knowledge stays with them and increases their job stability. it's sickening.

I'm sure Brexit is going to be a cautionary tale for decades to come on the risks of exiting a well-established union in favor of sticking out on your own.

And there's no unity in the party, either. A California democrat could have more in common with a Missouri republican than his same-party counterpart. The democratic platform this year includes a number of promises that the presidential candidate does not agree with. The republicans did not publish a platform this year. It's essentially a directional signal more than any concrete unifying measure, a party-for-all-people-except-the-ones-we're-against.

If the democrats and the republicans are supposedly holding the union together, they're doing an absolutely awful job at it.

This could be amazing for people who want to play the original games on physical hardware. The components in the original units are failing, as evidenced by the amount of non-working/partially working ones on eBay, and even if you buy one that works today it may not tomorrow.

I ended up getting a modded PC Engine and the Terraonion Super SD System 3. It also emulates the hardware using an FPGA, but allows playing downloaded files instead of just physical media. With the prices of many of the old games going for more than they cost originally, this was the only sane way to try them with original hardware at the time.

While the Analogue Duo contains an SD slot, it's only designed for firmware updating, and they specifically call out "does not play copyrighted ROM files". While I respect that decision, I think their goal of preserving gaming history would be better served allowing it. If I pay over a thousand dollars for Sapphire or Darius Alpha, I'm not going to put the game in the system and risk wear.
Now I want a cluster board with space for 7 modules and an external network interface like the Pine 64 one.
I can see the benefits of monitoring progress like this for a good project manager (who isn't micro-controlling or forcing a schedule, but who can keep the stake-holders at bay with good progress reports and early warnings about a schedule adjustment).

On the other side, an easier to implement and more worrisome idea (for me): AI that monitors your git repo to report you when you aren't getting things done quickly...
I've noticed that in Silicon Valley, angel investing seems to have much more of a status aspect than elsewhere. Angel investors are "cool" and people will admire you during parties and whatnot. A FB engineer striking it big and starting to angel invest should be seen as a "nouveau riche buying status" move and not necessarily as a means to gain even more money (though that may be a welcome bonus of course).

The status aspect is largely missing in other areas of the world and may be one of the reasons why finding investment in SV is so much different than elsewhere.

Newton's first law tells us that in the absence of external forces, a body will keep going in the same direction, uniformly, ie its wordline will be straight.

However, that concept is not available in arbitrary manifolds, you need additional structure: The covariant connection, which allows you to parallel transport velocity vectors, enabling you to define the concept of straight lines (autoparallels, which will be geodesics if the connection is 'metric').

According to general relativity, gravity hooks into that. So from that perspective, the gravitational force on a test particle will be a consequence of (the generalization of) the first law instead of the second one, making it into a pseudo-force like the Coriolis force.

> In 1962, Coca-Cola launched a crash program code-named “Project Alpha” to develop a competing diet cola [to Royal Crown's Diet-Rite Cola] and bring it to market in less than a year. The goal was to produce a low-calorie cola drink using saccharin and cyclamates instead of sugar while avoiding the typically unpleasant aftertaste that plagued other diet sodas. Coca-Cola met its goal with the introduction of TaB in May 1963, a diet cola advertised with the slogan “How can one calorie taste so good?
>This is awful for the artists, but awesome for everyone who enjoys art.

I'm not so sure about the last part. Because in the meantime, theater has become "televised performance", concern has become "album or stream", etc.

So they get a better performance but not exactly the same thing as before...

And lots of the magic is in the moment and the interaction with the live audience and in the volatility of the experience...

I think that the end result is not that it's "awesome for everyone who enjoys art" but that people consume art more conveniently and disposably, and (most of it) enjoy it less.

You really shouldn't become so worked up over something you clearly don't understand. I can assure you that the book is in good professional hands.
Memory allocators are already returning more or less "random" pointers, so using pointers for sorting is already a bad idea. Even using pointers for equality-comparison isn't usually a good idea because the same memory location might be reused when the allocator recycles memory (those tags could actually help with making such "recycled" pointers unique over time).
