> we're also going to see someone give VLIW another shot

Dunno why people would keep thinking this is a good idea, but if someone wants to try eating it with a new VLIW design yet again, I’m always down for some popcorn.

Dynamically finding ILP at instruction dispatch time is always going to be smarter than a compiler trying to guess at compile time. IMO, it’s worth the area. Even if you assume the compiler gets it right and finds tons of ILP, it’ll get it wrong for the next hardware rev when your core inevitably changes and you have to break apart your VLIW instructions and get ILP back dynamically anyway. To say nothing of shared pipelines in an SMT processor, where VLIW basically runs counter to SMT and the only way to know which units are going to be available on a specific cycle is during runtime.

> and they're going to succeed this time.

I don’t see any reason why VLIW would succeed more in future attempts than in past attempts.
And yet I only look at Wikipedia in my native language(s) when I'm looking up local history, people, or events, despite understanding perfectly four non-English Wikipedias.

For general knowledge, Wikipedia is only useful in handful of mostly European languages.
If you use a normal redirect using http headers this doesn’t happen, only if you use javascript redirect. It’s not rocket science.
>>Anything to avoid admitting that a cop killed a black man

Way to stoke a flame war.. At the risk of exacerbating it: anything to bring up Floyd being black, while identical deaths involving people of other racial backgrounds, like in the case of Floyd, Tony Timpa, are never attributed to racism.

Also, way to implicitly accuse him of being a racist for not agreeing with you on the motives and culpability of the police.

Maybe it is the prevalence of this knee-jerk assumption you're exhibiting now, where you attribute any wrong committed to a black individual to some endemic anti-black societal bias, and not Coinbase's workplace environment, that is the reason why so many employees interviewed by Coinbase accused the company of anti-black racism, without
a single definitive piece of evidence.

>>Are you suggesting that cops are such snowflakes that they can't do their jobs if a civilian criticizes them? I'm struggling to think of any other customer-facing job where that would be acceptable.

Strawman.

I like that thought of yours 'dealing with terminal illness can lead to its own kind of detachment from reality and all sorts of stress.'
source? What are you asking for? Can I prove God exists? No. Similarly, I cannot prove such a claim.

There have been seemingly plenty of news, I've spoken with Iranians, etc. None of this would be enough to prove anything to someone who can't see the writing on the wall.

Nonetheless, I do respect the possibility that I might be wrong, that's why I had written seemingly. But it's so likely at this point, based on what I've seen, observed, understand, that my comment seems good and fair.
So is a library, a hospital etc.
No one is disputing the act of people departing. OP tries to smuggle in the reason of departing together with the act of it as a fact and that is a problem.

Fact space is infinite, which ones we choose to surface and which ones we leave behind is called framing. Technical name for making the audience believe that relevant facts are not relevant and saliencing irrelevant ones as relevant is called bullshitting (For further reading see the essay “On Bullshit” by Harry Frankfurt) and bullshits are much harder to weed out than factual inaccuracies in themselves.

NYT, like any major publication, is not leveling outright falsehoods, but they are finessing around bullshitting. We don’t know, because we depend on them or likes of them to make sense of the events and surface the most relevant information in the first place. Like I said, I personally find it concerning that there is no mention of the baseline attrition rate in a high churn SF labor market, that there is no mention of the lack of serious legal action despite serious discrimination allegations, that there is no distinguishing between discrimination, feelings of discrimination and the types of discrimination; we don’t know if propensity for political activism is confounding the reason for those employee’s departures. Coinbase is explicitly discriminating against political activisim that they don’t deem relevant to their mission, rightly or wrongly not only it is not illegal, it is their right to exercise if they believe it would serve their company or customers better. It feels like NYT wants to penalize this act of “rebellion” by clumping all of these together, emphasize the racial angle and produce an aura of wrongdoing by that adjacency. There might as well be wrongdoing, but in that case courts are the machinery equipped to extract the relevant facts and bring justice to it. Not for-profit publications with very complex power relations and a core competency of shaping narratives. To give an obvious example, NYT the prominent media outlet once also played a role in manufacturing the public consent for Iraq invasion by surfacing such “questions”, “suspicions” while burying relevant facts. It would be naive to buy their narrative wholesale (or any single outlets narrative for that matter).
"self-serving conclusion"

To me, this comes off as a quite paranoid. Confirmation bias is a real thing: if you seek how any particular essay is self-serving, you will find it in every single essay. If everything is self-serving, then it's not a meaningful signal.
Ah yes, that's one of the worst systems I've encountered as well.

The problem with this statement isn't even that the web is bad, it's that traditional education is a number one priority for any country that wants to progress.

The biggest racists that I know grew up in an environment with the most diversity (talking about EU here, not US). It also shows in political results, where extreme right is most voted on in diverse environments.

My intent is not to rip on him. I have a lot of respect for what he accomplished in life. Keeping Tony's problems secret and enabling them is a big part of why things ended this way though. There shouldn't be a stigma about admitting that Tony was suffering from drug addiction and mental illness. People have been using him all year instead of getting treatment for him. You should be directing your ire at those people.

You can concentrate the most damaging industry on the far side.

That said, naked eye cannot see any traces of human civilization at all on the face of the Earth from the Moon. Even city lights at night are too weak to be seen without a telescope.

In the immediate period following someone’s death, is it too much to ask not to engage in or support rumor-mongering around the cause, for the sake of the family who is likely under tremendous stress and should not have to deal with the added stress of seeing such rumors?

It hurts no one to wait some months to reveal details of a person’s death; at that time, outsiders can contemplate that info. Have some empathy.
Are you using just reported positive cases to infer the value of R on this website? Or are you using estimates from local authorities? Or are you doing your own epidemiological modelling to go from raw positive cases to R values?

In the UK, epidemiological modelling is done by various government bodies and universities, and it is this that is being reported in OP:

Would you really trust a dictatorship with nuclear power?
One big issue I have with N95s is that there's no standardization in sizes. So, while I'm fit-tested for a particular manufacturer's model, it probably won't be available to the general public for a long time.

I found some other NIOSH N95s recently at a hardware store, but... they seem to be made with a contractor's facial structure in mind.
You can tell it's an issue that warrants more than one sentence to come to a conclusion, because there is an entire wikipedia article dedicated to every country's viewpoint on the matter, meaning this is mostly a matter of opinion and cannot be used to justify the murder of a nuclear scientist. (Which I realise you did not justify)

2 orders of magnitude faster than Gatling? Would be interesting to see how you ran your tests, and the results.

In my testing, Gatling isn't catastrophically slow by any means. Wrk, which is faster than any other tool I've seen, is about one order of magnitude faster than Gatling, in terms of raw RPS generation. I find it very hard to believe a NodeJS-based tool executing JS would be faster than the fastest tool written in C that just hammers static URLs.

> The technique involves heating ordinary plastics such as bottles or shopping bags and then putting them into an ordinary cotton candy machine (also known as a candy floss machine). The machine spins the plastic into a material that is similar to cotton candy (a mesh), which is also electrocharged by the spinning.

I'm always sceptical of these kind upcycling plastic narratives that involve melting them, since apparently a lot of plastics only are labeld safe under the assumption that they don't get heated until the melting point. After that they may start leaking chemicals, a bit like the whole non-stick coating story.

But if the source of plastic is reliable then this sounds pretty good.
Hi Peter,

Thanks for your periodic AMA’s.

I am waiting for my Canadian PR which I know would be granted in the next 6 - 8 months, once the pandemic ebbs. After staying in Canada for 3 years, I would be granted Canadian citizenship.

In 1st week of Oct 2020, I was informed my I-130 has been approved. My father, who became a naturalized US citizen in Oct 2018, had filed for my GC and I am in F2B category right now. I have been told it’s another 2 years before I get my GC.

Naturally my first priority would be to get Canadian citizenship, and then US.

I am expecting my Canadian PR to be approved by first half of 2021, after which I would be leaving for Canada. My GC would be approved by Oct 2022, approximately.

1. Do I have to land in USA as soon as my GC is approved? If my calculations are right, I would still be in Canada in the middle of finishing my 3 years to Canadian citizenship when my GC would be approved. Is it okay if I get my Canadian citizenship and only after that move to USA to pursue 5 years wait time of US citizenship?

2. How much tax would I have to pay to both countries? Is there a double taxation avoidance treaty between Canada - US?

3. Any other caveats I need to know before I become a citizen of both counties?

I am 31, working in IT with 4.5 yrs of work ex, currently based in India, have a 4 years bachelors of engineering degree, and never married.

Any suggestions would be reciprocated with immense gratitude.
I like the idea but, is the idea attempting to build a professional interactive resume or just a user profile?

> Compilers "failed" because VLIW is fundamentally not a particularly useful idea.

I think the problem isn’t just that it’s not particularly useful, but that it’s an actively bad idea. It statically encodes ILP that we get dynamically in chip designs today, which means that ILP can no longer react to changing conditions, like literally any core architecture changes as the underlying hardware evolves (or even on the same die, say finding itself running on an efficiency core rather than a performance core or vice versa) or running in an SMT environment in which it is not the only instruction stream going through the pipeline.
I bought a full carbon felt road bike in 2013 (2012 model so heavily discounted) for 768 quid.

That's expensive for an average bike but entirely in the range for an equivalent quality alu bike - Carbon fiber simply isn't that exotic anymore.
Beyond technology stack choices I'd say the biggest differences are that k6 is scriptable in JS whereas Tsung has scripting-like capabilities in XML, and that Tsung supports distributed execution of tests which k6 doesn't support yet (only in our SaaS product). Tsung also supports more protocols than k6 at the moment (eg. AMQP, MQTT, PostgreSQL etc.) but k6 supports HTTP/2 and gRPC which Tsung doesn't so depends on one's needs I suppose.

We have a more comprehensive review of open source load testing tools in our blog (including Tsung): https://k6.io/blog/comparing-best-open-source-load-testing-t...

That’s only true if the holder of that money decides to spend it on creating jobs, which are almost invariably the largest single expense in any business.

Trickle-down economics depends on progressively better paid work and more of it, while the incentives for businesses are to have as few people on payroll for as little compensation as possible.
This looks really nice; I think I'm likely to try it out.

What I'm really excited to have discovered is the `HAR` format.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAR_(file_format)

Over the past 10 years I have glued together project-specific variants of "parse some proxy or WAF log and spit out test or automation data" at least 4 or 5 times. Including as recently as a couple of weeks ago:

https://git.sr.ht/~tuxpup/parse-charles-log

Knowing HAR files existed would have saved me quite a bit of work and left me time to improve my automation or testing. I'm very happy to have discovered this.
All I see is you not finding it conceivable that someone could not think like you do, and think that every organization should be committed to your social causes, and also be a decent person who believes in fairness and justice for all.

Hence the baseless personal attacks.
Quite uncharacteristic for a HN comment but every sentence in yours is wrong.
What about Russia?

Or alternatively, what makes democratic nations the better shepards of nuclear weapons? It's not like they're asking their voters before they'd start a nuke.

I think the cold war showed us how easy it is to succumb to fear and how close we can get to nuclear annihilation.
>"Over the past 20 years, Morning Star’s volumes, revenues, and profits have grown at a double-digit clip, claims Rufer. Industry growth, by contrast, has averaged 1% a year. As a private company, Morning Star doesn’t share its financial results, but I was told that the company has funded virtually all its growth from internal sources, which suggests it is robustly profitable. On the basis of its own benchmarking data, Morning Star believes it is the world’s most efficient tomato processor.

Morning Star is a “positive deviant”; indeed, it’s one of the most delightfully unusual companies I’ve come across.

Employees (“colleagues” in Morning Star argot) are ridiculously empowered yet work together like members of a carefully choreographed dance troupe.

By digging into the principles and practices that underpin this company’s unique management model, we can learn how it might be possible to escape—or at least reduce—the management tax."

Keeping R<1 is the mandatory criteria for not having your health system collapse. So the goal of lockdowns is to make R<1 and to keep it that way.

As soon as R>1 you need the next lockdown, so when it's working and R is going down, it kind of makes sense to wait for R<0.8 and not just R<0.999 before you end the lockdown, or else you'll have to restart the next one very soon.
> Not baby sitting the employees is the only correct option here.

No its not. If you ever work in big companies you will know that.

> Adults shouldn't have their employer telling them that sexual harassment is a no no.

Yes they do,

Assuming you are a male, you might be unknowingly harrasing female employees just by having a boys will be boys attitude. So an employer has to give you training and explain you why its wrong.

Some people use throwaway accounts to harass other employees on social media, if your employer gave you the training you would have learnt that is wrong.

> The policy is the law.

Exactly, now you get it, the company may get into legal trouble if they dont have an official policy or they make it super difficult to report complaints.

> The responsible thing is to involve the authorities when one of your employees is committing a crime. Simple as that.

No its not simple as that, just telling the victim to go to authorities is just washing your hands, a responsible company also makes sure that victims can file a complaint with the management. Not all victims want to file a police complaint, that does not mean they the abuser should get away with harassment. The company should still investigate and fire the abuser and then file a complaint with the victim's permission.

These are some of the aspects which you will understand if you been through some training.
If this is true, you should delete your comments and wait until an appropriate time (post grieving) to post them, backed with evidence and discussions with people who knew him in the context of such issues, under your real name. Stop pretending that being an anonymous troll spilling rumors immediately after his death is doing some kind of good.
> Parents don't need daycare if they only work half of the time. (Of course, this means owning less.)

Many parents are not wealthy enough to have the choice you're implying any more.

First, if they earn half the time, that means part-time work which generally means earning less than half the wages because companies tend to use a full time employee for higher value work.

Second, if they are renters, they don't "own less" by earning less than half. Instead, they might (for example) go from being able to afford the rent on a place to raise a family, to being able to afford the rent on a room in a shared house which is unsuitable.

If they own a place (with a mortgage), they'd go from buying a place which is big enough to not being able to afford to buy a place, because they won't even be granted a mortgage for a family-size home on a single typical income.

> Offshore money doesn't matter for the economy. Actually it improves the life of the 99% because the value of their money would decrease if the offshore money would join the onshore money circulation.

The parent comment is referring to the lost taxes due to trading profits being creatively accounted to hide them in offshore reservoirs. If paid those taxes would improve the life of the 99%.

As for the value of onshore money decreasing if offshore money were to join it, it's not that simple because much of that additional circulation would end up inside the pockets of the 99%.
Climate crisis making autumn leaves fall earlier, study finds
It’s not really subtle I think. When you redirect to a file, the file is opened for writing by the shell before it runs the program that you are invoking.

This is also the same reason that if you try something like the following:

grep whatever somefile >somefile

You always end up with somefile being empty, whereas what you thought you were doing was replacing the contents of the file with only the lines in the file that contain the word “whatever”. But instead the shell will truncate the file first and then grep is searching through an already empty file and therefore there is nothing to find and the file ends up empty.
But surely you can explain how they make it there? Or can you only explain how champagne is made when you are an seventh generation inhabitant of the Champagne region and the video is hosted at youtube.chmp.fr? I don't think PDO (if you meant Protected Designation of Origin) applies to information.
But the error bars on that R value are big enough that you should be very cautious. Both due to statistical noise and potential systematic error. If you see a range of 0.9-1.1, should you act like it's around 1? It might be prudent to inflate the figure by some amount.
Interesting. How do you handle things like fragment markup from org mode, for example to reveal a bullet point or paragraph?

Also, is your workflow org -> MD or org-> html? If to md, as I assume it probably is, can you just call in the slide breaks (---) in org mode directly?

Could you maybe share some code?
