I didn't downvote you, but I can see lack of relevance to the OP. Catherine Dulac's work is related to olfaction, probably even outside of the skull, and claims that the circuitry for male and female behaviour is present in all brains, but is activated by the 'vomeronasal organ'. Though there's maybe more nuance there, so the article is well worth the read.
> I do believe there is a future beyond classic OoO, but dynamic scheduling is going to be part of it, although possibly not of instructions but of BBs or even microthreads.

I agree, I find it hard to see how you could abandon dynamic scheduling without unreasonable sacrifices.

My point isn't to say otherwise, just that we see less innovation than we would otherwise were our ecosystem built to handle it. GPUs have benefited hugely from the ability to rapidly change the ISA and a lot of internal details between each generation, and for each competitor to have their own take and extensions (Apple even has its own API, to support its TBDR features). If we had that sort of freedom in CPUs, I'm sure we'd have something a lot better than four variants of practically-the-same-thing by four different companies.
Your comment echoes my experience... in New York City. I’m white too, and I’d gotten pulled over more times in NYC than anywhere else. There’s always something: you drove over the yellow line for a second; your hands weren’t on 10 and 2; we may have seen a cell phone at your ear; why does your car have a big dent? The NYPD is one huge pain in the ass.

I live in Florida now; sheriff’s deputies in my county are very chill. They wave and say hello, and they don’t care why there’s something weird in the back of my truck.
I get this too. It's less pronounced if I commit to only playing 3 matches or so (doesn't always work) and check the time in between. But it still feels like autopilot.
Why are so many components mounted on a ZIF socket?
To these commenters: are you unaware of the issue of child porn, revenge porn, stolen content* and videos of actual rapes being uploaded to Pornhub, and Pornhub making money off of this content?
If you are aware of this (the core issue), you should be grappling with these issues rather than ignoring them.

Sure I’ll answer your questions, but you go first & answer mine :)

Agree that jail is better, if that’s an option I’ll take it. But if the options are “let a company make money off rape/cp/etc” or don’t let them do that, I’ll take the latter.
I've had a lot of problems crossing the borders between Colorado and neighboring states, presumably because my Colorado plates are considered probable cause that I'm smuggling marijuana. It's always "oh I thought your tail light was out but now I see it's not", "your registration has expired... oh I must have read it wrong". I've been ticketed for things that when I showed up to court were laughed at or dismissed for not even being a thing. I've yet to have a drug dog search the car, but I've had a handful of very confrontational and aggressive police officers get in my face and take a good look around my car making vague comments about how something fishy is going on, asking where I'm going, where I've come from, who's who in the car, etc.
Well but that's like saying that cars shouldn't allow mods, because someone will convince your parents to install aftermarket mods and they will mod their cars and crash and die.

Like, sure, it can happen. But if your parents can be convinced by someone to install a 3rd party store and download something from it, they can be equally easily convinced to go to a dodgy website that will scam them from something else and their magical iPhone won't save them from it. Besides, the whole idea that adult people should be prevented from having choice for their own good is almost offensive to me, like ....don't we believe in personal freedom and choice? Your parents should be able to choose to lock down your their phones(or you can do it for them) but equally, if they want to unlock it - they should be able to.

Ugh. That's disappointing. I loathe SAML, but also think the right thing to do here is to make sure nobody uses encoding/xml as part of their SAML stack.
That was a pretty grim hook to an otherwise interesting article. Thanks BBC
I'm not sure why you're downvoted. I see many people on the left openly saying things like

No.
Also, if your tire is damaged (visible to the exterior of the tire or otherwise), fast speeds could cause a blowout. A blowout at fast speed can induce a rollover.

If your going to speed, at least make sure your car is in good shape the best you can.
Our new Vice President is a former prosecutor with a long history of fighting to keep demonstrably innocent people in prison on technicalities [1], subverting state mandates requiring the release of nonviolent prisoners [2], and viciously fighting against compensating those she had wrongly imprisoned [3]. She also sought to expand the use of civil asset forfeiture in California [4]. Her record is the very definition of prosecutorial predation and abuse.

So the idea that the Biden/Harris administration will do any better than Trump on any issue involving the restraint of law enforcement is farcical. If anything, they'll expand civil forfeiture, unless the courts keep them in check.

Sad to hear. My first programming memories were getting the DirectDraw 2D Sprite demo running by copying C++ tutorial code from the documentation. I didn't understand Windows COM then and I still don't understand it today :P
It's been expanding ever since the WWDC 2019 release, same with other newer frameworks like Combine, and it mostly goes unnoticed. They should have some way of showing what docs have been updated, currently in the Apple Developer app I think it only highlights new articles.

Okay so. You can take the cigar smoking community and a majority don't have an addiction to smoking. They all have similar stories to me of just stopping without thinking about it for long stretches of time.

Then you have the cigarette and ecig community that are constantly sucking on those things every hour. Mostly children because pipes and cigars are more of a 30+ year old product. Maybe there's something to the age demographic.

Anyways, one is just pure tobacco with nicotine, the others are chemical cocktails. All nicotine studies I've seen come from cigarettes. Haven't looked at the ecig ones mostly because I never cared for that crap for the exact same reason as cigarettes, they're chemical cocktails.

Look, I'm just tired of people telling me that "You're addicted and just don't know it". Until this discussion, the last cigar I had was... August? Or it was late July. I don't remember. I know I had a few during July. Maybe one or two in August. I just haven't thought about it and I never had an urge. After 3 years of smoking, I might be on maybe cigar number 40 or 50. While there are some who just chain smoke everyday, a vast majority don't. My observations and experiences on cigar smoking don't add up (by a lot, not a little bit) to what you're saying and it's not like you hang out at cigar bars either, so you can only trust some other prude random schmuck or this crass internet random schmuck.

Again, I'm not advocating that cigar smoking is safe. You probably shouldn't do it. Hell, I'll tell you right now not to, just to make sure I never have to chat with someone like you at a cigar shop. I just don't think it's smart to apply ecig and cigarette studies to cigars when the ingredients don't match just because you have a knee jerk reaction from following what Nancy Reagan said back in the day.

Decades ago, it was well known in many areas that if you had a military sticker on your car you were to be pulled over whenever possible. They did this because they knew you weren't a local.

It seems the courts treat the 4th amendment about as well as they do the 2nd and the 10th.

> made the unreasonable demand of knowing who her anonymous reviewers were

Why is this unreasonable?

First, they were not her reviewers. She got her paper approved by the normal, written process, i.e., a reviewer reviewed it and accepted it and thereby gave her formal permission to publish it. Then management said that anonymous people had concerns.

Furthermore, the review process does not involve anonymous review. And no similar process does. (This was not scientific peer review: no scientific process has peer reviewers from one's own institution. This was pre-submission review, and the venue would have appointed anonymous peer reviewers, almost certainly avoiding reviewers from the same institution specifically to avoid conflicts of interest.)

A more analogous process would be code review. If I made a code review, a coworker approved it, and my skip-manager said "This was reverted because some people said we couldn't ship it, but I'm not telling you who," I'd feel entirely justified in objecting. (This process is neither scientific peer review nor code review, but it's much closer to code review.)
While we're sharing anecdata, here's mine: I've driven all over this country, in almost every state, frequently in rural areas, and usually speeding (and not trivially).

I've rarely been stopped and never felt like the police were trying to seize my vehicle or acting more intensely than the situation warrants.

I don't know what the difference is, but I can second GP's statement that the experience you and GGP had isn't universal.

I know it happens, and for some unlucky people it happens more than once, but I think discussions like this tend to overstate how often it occurs because of self selection bias.
The term makes a lot of sense if you know when and how it was introduced. When the early proponents of "Infrastructure As Code" started to write about it, the infrastructure was defined often time in multiple config files or directly in the UI of tools like load balancers, firewalls, proxies, etc. The big value of the movement for me at least was the proposal to threat the infrastructure definitions and the corresponding scripts as code:
- all infrastructure definitions are under source control.
- there is well defined process how the changes are made with review and approval process.
- the infrastructure can be reproduced and re created for integration environments, load testing, staging etc.
- using a common language like Teraform allows better visibility, helps with code reviews, etc.

The cloud providers enabled all that.

To summarize: even if most of "Infrastructure As Code" is implemented via descriptive language and not procedural, it still follows the best software development practices.
I always cringe when I see this. Of those 1.3 million, a lot of people died with corona, not from corona.

I took the ibuprofen too. I didn't get mine done in America so sadly no emergency Percocet in my cabinet.
I also took it daily and heavily in high school during basketball season for shin splints. Probably a couple of years of pulling that mess. I often think back now to how I had a complete system that timed for efficacy, taking a few 30 min before practice then more while suiting up, then even more if I could during and then after practice. I'd alter this timing on game days since practices were walk-thrus, etc.

In some ways it's a relief to hear from someone else with that experience (this was 20 years ago for me).

Ibuprofen is more effective and less dangerous, though it has other side effects. So, don't take anything like crazy.
A reparations law suit would most likely involve a court of law in which victims and benificiaries are identified, damages are calculated, and assets change hands. This fantasy where you just have to give up your personal property for no good reason is just a fantasy. It's not the way the law works. There will be a reason, it will be documented by a trail of papers and professional judges and attorneys will agree that it is fair.

If there is no paper trail saying that you are a beneficiary of human trafficking, you will not pay reparations. In order to understand this, you and also the justice system need to evolve to see the world more granularly than just "race". Slaves had names, they had families, they had descendants. Those descendants have legal standing in the most basic sense: they have been deprived of property. Justice demands that those stolen assets be returned to the rightful, legal owners.

Forget "resolving racism". That's a red herring. Just return the stolen property to the rightful owners. That's a much more concrete, actionable goal.

Sorry to make you so angry you stopped reading right at this word, though that means you might be positively surprised to see the sentence that immediately follows. ;-)
It's worth noting that these civil asset forfeiture programs were sold to a lot of these small towns as a way of generating revenue off of popular drug routes.

E.g., a town is off a highway that's a known part of a drug route. A consultant comes in to the police dept. and does a powerpoint showing an average annual amount of drug money they can confiscate in order to fund the police/town budget. And the consultant probably has numbers from other towns who did the same. Boom-- you've got yet another civil asset forfeiture program in yet another small town.

So you get this town's police pulling over a larger and larger set of people who fit whatever description they've taught themselves rakes in the dough. There's a big incentive to do this, and to enlarge the set of who can be pulled because-- until relatively recently-- there has been very little risk.

I'm going to rankly speculate that the value of the OP's stuff he was lugging was high enough for such officers to take the time to pull OP over. But since OP didn't fit the drug runner description and the officer couldn't find any other pretense, they let them go.

I'll also rankly speculate you've carried stuff of much less value visible to an officer who sees you drive by.

Race almost certainly plays into this as well, but I haven't read a study to know the numbers on that.
Oh, that's interesting (and way outside my knowledge bubble). You reckon it would actually work as a 6502, or it's remarked from an entirely not-65xx CPU?
Somewhat related, but as 800k floppies got harder and harder to find, it became common to just cover one hole on a 1.44 mb floppy so the computers that used them (mostly old compact macs) would treat them as 800k disks. This is fine in the short term but since the tracks and what not don't line up quite right it'll usually degrade over time.

I'd like to ask everyone here who's familiar with SAML to take a look at SPIFFE[1], which underlies Istio.

I'm biased in this regard, but I view SPIFFE's inclusion of JWT Tokens as an authentication method as fundamentally flawed - By allowing bearer tokens, you are no longer verifying identity, but passing identity around. JWT has also been susceptible in the past[2] to the same kinds of attacks here - Poorly defined verification semantics.

I suspect that buried in the semantics around SPIFFE's SPIRE Server and Agent are a number of vulnerabilities or other ways that trust doesn't mean quite what you think it means. I'd love for someone with interest to take a look. Besides the obvious downsides fundamental to Isitio's MITM Proxy architecture, I think there's more lurking on that edge.

SCOTUS actually ruled on this in 2019. https://www.aclu.org/blog/criminal-law-reform/reforming-poli...

It ruled that civil asset forfeitures are subject to the 8th Amendment prohibition against excessive monetary fines. This doesn't mean that they necessarily violate the 8th Amendment, only that they are subject to it. Unfortunately, almost every state already has such a restriction on their books and it hasn't stopped CAFs yet.

It's likely that another CAF case would result in the court deeming federal CAFs to violate the Sixth Amendment where the CAF is not actually related to a criminal conviction. (This is conjecture based on certain justices' remarks to the Federalist Society before they were appointed to SCOTUS.)
this is a strange request, but could you make the cube translucent? I'd really like to see an internal cord/line between the 'solved' position (where it should be) of each color square to its place in the scrambled position (where it actually is) in order to get an idea of how "tangled up" a position is. Who knows, it might even help with solving strategies!

the solving animation is too fast (which can also be a good thing but not always) ... maybe add a slider.

also depending on your idea of fun, this allows for making a rubik's cube of rubiks cubes :^)

If there was actual compliance with relatively modest rules, that just demand that everyone acts with some sense and makes some small concessions, life could have gone on normally, with a lot of people still alive.
