> scale.

This is the error. The problem isn't scale. If YouTube has 500 hours of video uploaded per minute and some other site has only one minute of video uploaded per minute, the smaller site is no better able to handle it, because they don't have proportionally any more staff than YouTube.

The actual problem is marginal cost.

If you have a Walmart store, it probably costs over a million dollars to construct it, and takes in several million dollars a year in revenue. A $10,000 fire suppression system may be expensive, but it's manageable. And if there are a thousand Walmart stores all over the country that each need a $10,000 fire suppression system, that scales just fine. You have a choice between an unsafe Walmart and a safe Walmart whose proprietors make slightly less profit.

The marginal profit from hosting a given video is pennies. That means any solution that costs more than pennies isn't a choice between unsafe and safe video hosting, it's a choice between having video hosting and not having it. Scale has nothing to do with it; greater or lesser scale doesn't save you from a cost that exceeds your entire margin.
There's certainly a lot that could be said about the gaps in Apple's developer docs, but the answer to that question is literally, "handle your errors instead of ignoring them, and it will tell you what went wrong."

They ignored errors, so didn't know there was no "Documents" directory, and their file write therefore failed.
This is not my area of expertise, but I’ve seen concerns of implementing the unified memory architecture off chip. But maybe it’s just that it hasn’t been done yet.
Now that you mention it. Modern Germany should pay the US enormous sums in reparations for our role in destroying Nazi Germany, saving Western Europe (which Russia did not do, Russia enslaved half of Europe), freeing people from Nazi death camps, propping up a post-war democratic Germany against the conquering monster to the East.

Not just the US of course. Britain and France among others are owed a lot more in reparations for what Germany did and the long-term consequences.

The US got repaid - only in part - for its war lending. It has never been paid reparations for its losses in WW2 (including 400,000 military deaths).

What's the reparations tally for 400,000 dead, going by the numbers thrown around these days? $10 trillion? Germany and Japan can figure out the split on that and then write some big fat checks to the families in question.
You're choosing to die on a hill of not wanting to wear a face covering for a short period of your life.

IMO there are much worse encroachments on rights happening, and this anti-mask thing seems to be symbolic for some people. But to others it appears foolish because temporarily wearing a mask or distancing really isn't the big deal you make it out to be. You're worried that these changes will become permanent, and I promise you they won't be. Everyone wants to go back to having freedom of movement.
> We also don't live in states where slavery was ever a thing.

That’s not really... likely. Even if your state wasn’t a ‘state’ Pre-abolishion, there was slavery there. The history of slavery in North America did not start at Plymouth Rock.

Only if they use the same obfuscation and put the data in the same spot. So it's like any kind of copy protection, you can make a "generic" copier/patcher if and only if a bunch of titles implement it the same way.
But is the opposite true, and can you prove it by binary tree optimization?
What's circular? You're free to not wear a mask on your own property. On somebody else's property you follow the other person's rules. On public property you follow public rules.
yes, but people's preferences can vary. e.g. I can't stand it being less than 77 F inside, while others will be happy with 64 F. I know my electricity/heat bill is always significantly higher than others in the Winter.
Not disagreeing, but I do wonder how the first amendment sits with regards to no guaranteed audience - you can likely be free to say something, while still having others free not to amplify it indefinitely.

To an extent I think the big digital platforms already do this, just in a non transparent way, to try to curate the most engaging and click-worthy content, rather than the most thought provoking.
Doubt it. Big companies use competition coding problems as a proxy for IQ, which is the strongest predictor of success at work and in life. Theres alot of data internally at FAANGs that the leetcode questions work.
I meant more generally. Drivers get off very easily for very poor behavior that is often negligent and sometimes maliciously so, especially in their treatment of pedestrians and cyclists.

"More severe" includes "any at all."
> Itanium was not one attempt

It was one ISA, and a terrible one at that, which is my point.

> Except, guess what, Cuda and OpenCL look exactly like C in many ways.

You're missing my point, which is about rewriting the world. C's syntax is not the problem.
It's not just the VP.

In 1983 Biden introduced the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act, which became law in 1984. That's the main piece of law that enabled civil asset forfeiture. That's how cops take property, alleging it to be drug money without any evidence. It's legalized theft, turning cops into gangs that prey on the people. Note that "defund the cops" will make them rely more on this source of revenue!

He didn't just vote for it. He introduced it.
Both Smullyan and Feynmann were born in the immigrant Jewish community of Far Rockaway, NY, almost exactly one year apart. Smullyan was one year younger than Feynmann, but lived 30 years longer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Rockaway,_Queens#Notable_p...

It seems Smullyan moved to Manhattan and went to high school in the Bronx, so they would not have been at Far Rockaway High School together.
For sure, but then management gets unhappy because sales people are unhappy.

Hacker interview – Gummo [video]
The benefit of a night train is that you get an actual nights' sleep. On shorter distances going from city center to city center by plane is only a few hours faster, but you can't sleep much during this time as you have to get to the airport, go through check-in, wait for your plane, etc. With a good night train you can travel without losing a day.

Getting actual good sleep can be difficult at times, but it's not like you'll leave the cabin battered and bruised. Modern sleep carriages are excellent at compensating for track irregularities
You may be interested to find out that in the 1800s there was a similar program pursued. The country of Liberia was originally founded by black Americans.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Colonization_Societ...

Later Marcus Garvey motivated another 'Back to Africa' movement. As I understand it the, the movement did not send very many blacks back to Africa.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Garvey

We have to wonder, do Africans want Black Americans to come colonize their homelands?
Personally I just compile my code with "-fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing". It's not standard C, but every compiler supports an analogue to those class and it saves so many headaches from UB-optimising passes, the tiny loss in performance is worth it. Integer overflow and pointer aliasing are way too easy to accidentally hit in a C program, the two should have never been made UB, but perhaps added as a pragma to annotate definitely safe code that can benefit from the optimisation.
> For the sake of argument: I would perhaps argue that the skepticism itself, which is held by many in tech at the moment, could be collectively considered institutionally racist.

Well, if all racism is, is some deserved skepticism then I guess it isn't at all important. Or, is that not the message you're trying to send?

You aren't steel-manning Gebru's points, you're weakening the entire argument until what you hear she's said could be made to fit.

> you had issued what you viewed as an entirely reasonable ultimatum

That's 100% incompatible with asking for the identities of your anonymous reviewers. Even if you were to demonstrate a problem with a anonymous you do it with the label 'Reviewer 1'. That's how it's been done forever and it should be obvious why.
They're also pointless once you do even a small amount of dynamic local reordering, which every fast CPU does.
When I was younger (and stupider) I was prescribed giant 800mg ibuprofen pills for an injury. I wasn't in the habit of eating with them, and ended up burning the end of my esophagus with stomach acid. I could only eat popsicles and slurpees for a couple weeks because it was too painful to swallow anything else.
> The world of the Program is neither a utopia nor a dystopia, as the new system produced both winners and losers

It is usually the intent of a systems designers and shapers to produce very specific winners and losers. I therefore don't quite see the causal connection this sentence implies.

Will give the podcast a listen though, sounds interesting!

There's a decent chance it's actually a 6502, but the actual part that's under those markings could be any one of a number of 6502s from many different manufacturers.
Oh, definitely. I lived in university accommodations that were awful. The residents the year after me sued the university as the residence wasn’t inhabitable (black mold).
Being good at coding problems, even leetcode questions, is a different thing than being good at coding competitions. This isn't a "dunk".
If it worked better and more directly attacked the problem, I'd consider it yes. I'm not even certain a heater will prevent mold, but will take your word for it.
Our society usually rewards these types of people, especially in business. The issue is these types of people usually aren't quite so flagrant about how sociopathic they are... but that seems to be changing more and more.

Both are possible. I guess there's a 70% chance that the chip is not a 6502 at all, nevertheless still a 30% chance that the chip is salvaged from trash and remarked but its silicon die is authentic.
As of now, the radio buttons have no labels. I will fix this! I have tested pretty minimally - just on the platforms I have within arm's reach ;-) This includes Safari on my smartphone and an iPad, and Chrome on Linux and Windows.
Having participated in competitive programming and comparing it to development work it feels to me comparing chess tactic puzzles to classical chess. If you're a good classical player you're probably reasonably good at puzzles, but the opposite is not necessarily true.

Competitive coding, despite superficially involving typing code into an editor, has almost nothing to do with working on large pieces of software. It's a lot of rote memorisation, learning algorithms, matching them onto very particular problems, and so on, it's more of a sport. Just like playing too much bullet chess can be bad for your classical chess I can honestly see how it gets into the way of collaborative work.
When I had my double kidney stones I only took a single Hydromorphone pill, and it was useless anyway for the pain, and didn't get me high either. Only psychoactive effect it had on me, was making it impossible to enjoy music for the rest of the day. I know the pill caused it, because the same thing happened at another time.
Another cool project is the Magic-1 [1], which is also well documented. It even runs Minix!

Cool headline but not really data or a serious article. Obviously it’s a mix of factors, but some of the best I know are also very good at coding interviews, contests, etc.
If every program is written in its own language, we're going to have a hard time collaborating on code!
Using an interface forces one to think about a clean API, that does not rely on internals.
Specifically says Amazon, and not Twitch (though Amazon owns Twitch), which is interesting given they have Youtube but not Google/Alphabet.
I think there is a site in the UK called eToro where you can do this. I'm not sure if that's what they do, but it's something along those lines.

Either way, it's a good idea. You might run into regulatory issues but I'm sure it would find a market
This is Berkson's Paradox. Even if coding competition performance correlates positively with job performance in the general population (which it certainly does, given that most people can't code), selecting for this attribute in the hiring process leads to a negative correlation among those hired.

Black Americans typically have deeper roots in the United States than white Americans: https://news.gallup.com/poll/4621/majority-americans-identif...

> Black Americans are more likely than either whites or Hispanics to be the third generation Americans. Seventy-five percent of black Americans indicate they are at least the third generation born in the United States, compared to 58% of whites and 13% of Hispanics.
It's a good point - the past was far from perfect. Long before the current "user generated content" fact-level problem, I remember (some) traditional internet forums offering the same problem as we have today - inane parroting of plausible sounding content, almost as mantras, to anyone who asked a question.

I learned from those days that you had to be careful as what you read on a forum was highly likely (at least in some circles where expertise is limited, the topic is complicated, and questions are plentiful) to be plain nonsense, or pseudo science.

On the other hand though, the increase in friction arguably reduces the scale of the problem you cite - making it financially based is far from ideal, but it at least reduced the breadth of the problem space to some extent.
Aha, now I can feel good about my late but completely unit tested Advent of Code solutions.

Ask HN: Are you still listening to Joe Rogan since the Spotify move?
The need to use a separate app has produced just enough friction that I've given it up. I listen to 30+ podcasts, all on PocketCasts. All my "workflow" is there. Rogan wasn't enough of a draw for me to add Spotify. How about others?
Ditto on child comment, Apple doesn't get that pass as they sit high and mighty behind their walled garden argument to keep their users safe.
Doubt it. Big companies using coding problems as a proxy for knowledge of coding, which turns out to not be a strong predictor of success at work and in life. There is a lot of data internally at FAANGs that being good at coding competitions correlates negatively with job performance.
If you're young and stupid, everything looks simple. Just pull down all the statues right? Even when they're for black historical figures, like Frederick Douglass:

If the US gets to the point of considering reparations, then economists will get involved, and it will be a logical calculation, not an emotional one.

I think this part is particularly interesting:

> Note: The OpenSSL project has published publicly available patches for
versions included in FreeBSD 12.x. This vulnerability is also known to
affect OpenSSL versions included in FreeBSD 11.4. However, the OpenSSL
project is only giving patches for that version to premium support contract
holders. The FreeBSD project does not have access to these patches and
recommends…

Remember, people making billions and millions of dollars at Google and Mozilla tell you that your personal/hobby website MUST have HTTPS. But when it comes to actually doing the updates to OpenSSL, apparently, we're all supposed to have premium support contracts, for something that's not even technically necessary for a personal website in the first place -- advocacy and artificial limitations notwithstanding.

---

In my mind, this is just another confirmation that running HTTPS in non-commercial settings is a bad idea. Of course, I know that I'm in the minority in today's world, but I'm never running HTTPS on my personal site.
The first two statements you make are incorrect. Well, I'll give you that you might find a big company who thinks of it this way (but they are confused).

There is a lot of data at FAANGS about hiring, but it will be structurally very hard to infer anything about broader activity from it, even if you had all the data.
Would you say that white Americans homeland is Europe?

Most of African Europeans a)know what country their ancestors are from, b) have direct links to their relatives in Africa.

> Africa has a lot of future, plenty of growth. China knows this and has invested a lot into Africa.

I think this is exactly Africa's main issue: being seen first foremost as a land of resources and economic ventures. You go to the Americas/Europe/Asia/Oceania to visit, and Africa to make money/for "humanitarian aid". Things may evolve when they change to "X has invested a lot in Africans".

These specific changes won't be permanent - I agree. But the precedent they set for the future will be. And, in the mean time - these mitigations have and are having a huge personal impact on me, my wife, and my children - among others. Just because a lot of these things might not be a big deal to you, doesn't mean they're not a big deal to others. And I'm tired of people telling me that these things aren't a "big deal" to me. How the hell can they know how big of a deal they are to me? That's up to me to decide.
This is the result of every framework I’ve ever seen and used. It is just more apparent in Java due to being constrained to “OOP.”

More than anything the War on Drugs, which Civil Asset Forfeiture is a part of, has lead to the direct destruction of the bill of rights.

This is one of the primary things that lead me to be a political and philosophical libertarian, and why I oppose prohibition completely (even for so called hard drugs)

Most people think anyone that oppose prohibition on weed or other drugs simply wants to use them, but for me it is recognition that the War on Drugs has lead to the complete subversion of every single right protected by the US Bill of rights, every single one.

Not just the 4th, 2nd, and 10th, but all of them
Yup, me too. Dev Tools as well ;(
Note that fuzzing CompCert has still found bugs in it - because the entire compiler actually isn't verified. They've extended the proof over time.

(Note that "formally verified" still does not mean "bug free", it just means it's a refinement of a proof that is also a program which can have bugs in it. And "formally" sounds like a weasel word.)
Not really. The PSX copy protection, for example, couldn’t be written by standard CD-R writers.
This sort of thing may be further out than many here think. But it will absolutely change the equation when a 2-3 hour each way day trip or a 5-6 hour each way weekend trip is practically effortless. (Not sure about 500 miles but definitely distances that aren't easy today.)

What complexity? I've been hacking a small Node app in my dev environment for the past few weeks. Decided to stand it up in prod. It took me literally 10 minutes to setup the Dockerfile, build the image and deploy it to the server.

Later this week, I'll probably throw it onto a GKE cluster. It will take maybe 15 minutes to write and test the Kubernetes YAML. (It will also save 50%+ on the hosting costs, since self-healing means I'll be able to put it on GCE preemptible nodes.)
People in this thread seem to be a little confused about amendments. The constitutional case against CAF is strongest in the Due Process Clause of A5:

>No person shall be [...]; nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

The SCOTUS interpretation of this clause allowing civil asset forfeiture was written by Rehnquist in 1996 Bennis v. Michigan, because the acceptance of such forfeitures was too "firmly fixed" to displace:
