Using a loop is not a sin, but it is often counterproductively over-prescriptive. A loop says, 'do these things in this order in a single thread'. If the loop body is an effect-free function, then the order doesn't matter, why not use a map to let the compiler or run-time decide how many cores/containers/botnets to throw at the problem? Similarly, if the loop combines the results of its iterations in a unital and associative way, why not use a fold/reduce in order to get as much parallelism as possible for free? Sure, your compiler could try to do some fancy static analysis to try to figure out whether the loop you've written is equivalent to a more efficient program, and if so, replace it for you, but that's a lot of work for the compiler writer and inherently limited: we're a long way away from compilers being able to guess properties of programs and synthesize proofs for them. Sometimes avoiding loops is both conceptually clearer and practically more efficient.

So what happened to the Dutch Auction idea? Seems that tech is more powerful / autonomous in some ways than Wall St. now and could eliminate this risk? Why subject themselves to this process -- what are they gaining?

https://money.howstuffworks.com/ipo7.htm

Instead of letting the underwriter dish out shares to favored institutions, Google held a Dutch auction in which everyone who wanted a share put in a bid. The lowest successful bid became the price that everyone got their shares at, even if they bid a higher amount. This method guarantees that the initial offering price is set to sell all of the shares at a price that conservatively reflects market demand.

It has to flush them. Because if another core sees the result of the atomic op it must also see everything else that the other core wrote before the op. While it can indeed first see no writes and then suddenly all it can never see just the atomic op and not the previous writes.

Without that the store buffers can be kept unflushed to, as an example, see if one can get a full cacheline or whatnot and only flush then.

My grandma was very feeble at the end of her life and the biggest pain point for her was getting her in and out of the car. If we could get her in her wheelchair and just roll her down the street for brunch, she would have gone out so much more. Instead we had to get her to the car, then pick her up to get into the car, buckle her down, fold up her wheelchair, drive somewhere, then do everything in reverse. Then do it two more times on the way home. She disliked the entire process so much she usually didn't want to bother leaving the house.
The weight equals quality thing is probably related to the use of dense metals as money since the dawn of history. Maybe it's a quirk of human psychology that caused us to choose dense metals or maybe it's the choice of dense metals that persists as the weight/quality association.

My desktop (custom built) refuses to go to sleep when I'm booted into Linux. Straight up just wakes itself immediately.

Over in Windows land I've had this issue on a regular basis with a Thinkpad that keeps waking itself up. I've had this issue occasionally on a Surface Book 2, I suspect due to a finicky monitor attached to the dock. I've had this issue pretty much never on a first gen Surface Book attached to the same dock. Go figure.

My laptop auto-mounts a sshfs directory at startup and hibernates with no problem. On resume, the sshfs mount still responds. Having an open shell on that directory is no problem, except that I can't manually unmount a FS being accessed.

It was a cliché one-liner on a divisive theme that was far off topic. That certainly counts as flamebait. This is not a borderline call!

Sometimes people make a more substantive comment in response to a moderation scolding—sort of explaining the background that was in their mind but which they didn't say earlier. I'd say your second and third paragraphs here count as that. If you had included that in your original post, it would at least have been not a one-liner and less of a cliché, and I probably wouldn't have replied.
I run a number of Linux laptops ranging from 10 to 3 years old (i.e. nothing bleeding edge) and except for one long retired ancient one, and one in current use, suspend/resume has been flawless (hibernate not so much; if the kids leave one unplugged and it auto-hibernate as the battery runs low, it seems about 50/50 success whether it emerges from hibernation in a usable state).

Now what is not flawless: There are any number of ACPI things that, if set, will immediately re-wake the computer once suspended. The following script is on my current problematic one as /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/wakefix.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl
open(FILE,"/proc/acpi/wakeup");
while(<FILE>) {
chomp;
if(/enabled/) {
($a,$b) = split / /;
system("echo $a >/proc/acpi/wakeup");
}
}

[Sorry about the mangled formatting]

It just turns off everything that is enabled to wake the machine up. As this list happens not to include the power button - the only thing I want to be able to wake the laptop up - this works fine.

I've never experimented with auto-suspend on lid close and auto-resume on open; maybe that's what's more troublesome.

Another thing that's not suspend-resume, but nonetheless annoying - if the machine is running an SDL fullscreen thing (Tuxpaint) or if the MATE desktop has a pop-up menu open, the power button won't suspend the computer, because something intercepts the button press.

My experience with suspend/resume on Desktop machines has been 100% bad, on the other hand. Usually they suspend just fine, but don't resume to a usable state.

Turing and Church were contemporaries. The Turing Machine was a landmark achievement useful for reasoning about the limits of computation, but where is it today? Have you tried building anything out of a Turing machine (assuming you had infinite tape)? It's basically Brainfuck. Church's Lambda Calculus predates it and is still useful.

Molten salt reactors STILL require a source of uranium isotope as a neutron source to get the thorium hopping.
Unfortunately there are only two ways get a nuclear reactor working, one is for research, the other full on production. In the US regulatory system there is no in-between.

That is why all the reactor companies go for a fully functional production design with the first try. Without such a plan and reactor built, you do not get access to fissile material. Since you have to build many of them to ever have a hope of making money fast iteration is gone be difficult.

In general they all want to use the same basic design with different fuel and different operations to create a different type of reactor. Uranium fast burners are the easiest, thorium breeders are much further away.

For Molten Salt Reactors, the most advanced in development is probably IMSR by Terrestrial Energy, after that SSR by Moltex Energy are both currently in Canadian regulatory process.

Flibe energy is trying in the US but that is longer term, there is not even a regulatory process in the US yet. Flibe is by Kirk Sorensen the guy who basically restarted Thorium hype.

Assuming you trust your lan, you could probably run stunnel with modern TLS to add encryption. Maybe you could get that to run locally too.
Just punt on the problem. Get a good quality high performance ARM64 chip, pair it with a larger than typical battery, and build a laptop that never actually shuts off unless the battery charge falls below 10% and the lid is closed.

This would be a better machine all around anyway. You could close it with ssh sessions open and open it again and they're still open. You could run P2P software in the background and it would never have to re-bootstrap. You could connect to it remotely to access files any time. Computers that turn off all the time suck.
Another thing that's becoming more and more an issue as more young people get diagnosed, is that the FAA considers ADHD and other attention-deficit conditions to be disqualifying as well. If you're taking medication for ADHD or similar conditions and want to be a pilot, you're dead in the water until you get off them and can show that you don't have some kind of attention difficulty.
Yeah being told "it's time to go to bed now" as a 27 year old man is a special kind of silent death.

There are a lot of companies like that popping up now in the wake of SpaceX's success. Enough to fatigue most peoples' capacity for excitement I think, particularly in the cases where the company has interesting ideas but has not yet put anything into orbit. SpaceX isn't just talking about paper rockets, they're also putting stuff into space regularly for the past several years. It's hard to compete with that for attention if all you have is neat ideas and a CEO who isn't a media hungry controversial celebrity billionaire. (Blue Origin almost has that, but I think they are too busy being secretive to nurture an army of fanboys.)
I don't know about a complete societal reset, but I sure would be interested in a corporate reset.

Forest fires are good for forests over the long term. They remove large old trees that are full of rot, dead wood, and parasites. Those old giants aren't using the sun's light and other resources efficiently, but they block too much light for smaller trees in the understory to grow tall enough to compete. A forest fire clears those out, returns the nutrients in them to the soil, and provides a level playing field for smaller trees to grow and compete.

I wouldn't go full Fight Club Project Mayhem, but I'd love something like a cleansing fire that periodically breaks up or disbands all corporations above a certain size.

That's clear, but:

> you have the freedom - you can choose(important word here) what you want to do with the product that you own.

isn't using the definition of "choose" that I'm using, and I'm trying to make a point to you on this that I'm not entirely sure came across, so I'll try another way: Yes, you can choose to run someone over with your car, and it can happen by accident because of drink, but if you choose to install HideRoot, are you really aware of what you're choosing, or is the potential loss merely the same kind of accident?

I think speaking of the population who roots, probably not, and although most of the rooters I've met aren't on HN, I can imagine if you think most of them are, you might have a different perspective on that.

You can similarly think banks are wrong to try and override your "choice" to root things that you own, but they're also making an effort to try and keep their customers safe, and I think this is an important motivation to consider when asking why Apple makes it difficult to replace parts of the trusted base as well.

That being said, I'm not even remotely naive about the fact that the App Store revenue is probably an important factor as well for Apple, I just think that the solution has to be better/more-thought-out than you initially suggested -- for Android as well.
This is also true of every ThinkPad Linux system I've used over the last fifteen years, as the ThinkPad is as close to first-party Linux hardware as exists. It's also true for the majority of Windows laptops in the MacBook price range, I assume. I'd also assume that Hackintoshes don't work as smoothly as you describe, which feeds right into the parent commenter's complaint.

The parent commenter just has higher standards than you: either that software and hardware are relatively easily decoupled and should be, or that laptop manufacturers should competently implement the standards they claim to, or even just that he's never worked at a company whose product was as poorly-made as almost every laptop's compatibility software.

The CDC is referring explicitly to the COVID death rate in this case.
that's the thing that people don't generally bring up with apple: they area a luxury company, they price things in the same way any other luxury good company does in the vein of supreme or gucci or whatever. it's all about making the product exclusive, or at least feel exclusive, while making the design something that can be considered fashion. the fact they happen to put computers in their fancy cases is hardly the point to the archetypal consumer.
