Legislation is one part of the correct answer, but not all of it. Here in the Netherlands there's "strict liability" [0], in which the driver is always liable for at least 50% of the damage, and usually 100% liable, but that is only a part of the solution. The law is worth very little without proper infrastructure. Infrastructure that provides clear and physical separation works, as demonstrated by Oslo's zero cyclist fatalaties [1].

Both x86 and arm clang can output for the other architecture, or universal.

Pass `-arch arm64` not `-march`

You can also `clang -arch x86_64 -arch arm64` to build for both at once.

You can even go a step further and run your clang as native from bazel, via `arch -arm64 clang`.

Put it all together and you have: `arch -arm64 clang -arch x86_64 -arch arm64`.

It may seem like I'm joking but I'm not.
It's a poor post, much like the last one, if for no other reason than it's done so sloppily. There's nothing wrong with running simple, informal benchmarks but at a minimum, showing one's build and run details would make the limitations and outright mistakes more obvious.
Yes, it is "mess". But it's also additional complexity that is non-essential to the problem. It's what Fred Brooks called accidental complexity in his No Silver Bullet essay. It is important for us to acknowledge and differentiate between the two kinds of complexity, because we in the software industry can and should aim at reducing the accidental/non-essential type.

About abstraction, even when it's good, it still depends. For example: you can use a Visitor Pattern to solve a collision detection problem, but if the language had multiple dispatch you would have less complexity. So it is definitely non-essential complexity.

I built a private Goodreads "competitor" for friends (with groups and book clubs and whatnot) using the Open Library data dumps for book/author/publisher data (since GR APIs were too restrictive in how they could be used). They're great, easy to use, and the site behind them looks like it's run well and stable (edit: didn't realize they're under Internet Archive!). Would definitely recommend them as an alternative.
Well, Google values independence and so almost everyone is pretty independent. There is also consistency in the internal tools, libraries and infra used, so onboarding to the new team is just understanding their project. The 20% project that you work on is also usually a task that someone can work on independently and isn't hi-pri stuff which makes it pretty easy.

TL:DR - nobody has to hand hold anybody onboarding 20% - just answer basic questions and point to the right resource.

Thanks for giving some counter-examples :)

So I already wrote that I was exaggerating slightly, and I still believe your case fall into that. For example about embedded dev, I had in mind things less individual tinkerer oriented and more productized. I don't know: set-top-boxes, base stations, software for trains, software for washing machines, smartcards, etc; or even big equipment controlled by an OTS desktop/laptop-like computer, or a PLC. I'm sure in a few exotic cases Mac will be involve here and there, but lets be honest, Windows as an host dev station is far more probable. Maybe a few Linux too, but probably far from the majority. And Mac OS would be probably: very far.

Now about running Intel code, I know about the excellent x86 emulation layer Mac OS+M1 have, and it's great, but I actually don't care at all for what I was thinking about, I think that broadly apply for x86 Mac as well. I'm more thinking about the software ecosystem, the precise HW CPU for devs is only interesting maybe for people developing SIMD code or, well, running VMs.

About running VSCode & co, that's great to but where are the toolchains for Mac OS host for the targets I talked about? That's why I qualified Mac OS in this case as merely used as a "terminal", I was speaking in the broad meaning of the term, a graphical terminal, not just a VT100 like terminal. The actual toolchains are elsewhere.

About web-dev, I admit that's probably where you can do most of the non-Apple-only dev while staying really native, although probably not if you need a complex server-side setup. Arguably I went way too far when I wrote "no web".

Well, nothing is absolute, and I know Mac OS remains a general purpose OS even able to host some serious dev. Just I think it is not really the most used one outside of let's say client related consumer tech and some pro-desktop tasks, mainly on Apple techs. Claiming embedded in the general case would really be stretching the narrative.

Nope it will not be rendered useless.

1) Price of the energy when you pay for it only grows over time. Short disruptions are possible but overall trend persists.

2) More energy also correlates to more goods produced so unless artificially manipulated the ratio should stay more or less the same.

3) All major currencies undergo inflation so even if energy becomes more plentiful there is nothing really new here
Thanks for getting to the bottom of this.

Here is the way I think of it, if a cylinder passed through two perpendicular planes, flatlanders living on those two planes, with different perspectives on life, might call each other to discuss their observations. One flatlander might report the observation of a circle, while the other might say they saw a rectangle. Both have observed part of the truth, but different parts of it, and to a flatlander it may seem these observations are irreconcilable. A third flatlander who decides to simply average the observations together into a rounded rectangle is more wrong than either of the others. The key to resolving the apparent contradiction is recognizing that the truth exists in a dimensional space higher than the flatlander is capable of perceiving.
This is "whataboutism." Rather than relate to validity (or invalidity) of my point, you are re-framing the argument ("You say this as if") in a way that suggests I need to defend someone else doing something else.
There's a fantastic law article by Greg Shill about how law favors driving, and how it subsidized US car lifestyle, a deadly way of living that would probably not be possible without the legal support:

> A century ago, captains of industry and their allies in government launched a social experiment in urban America: the abandonment of mass transit in favor of a new personal technology, the private automobile. Decades of investment in this shift have created a car-centric landscape with Dickensian consequences.

> In the United States, motor vehicles are now the leading killer of children and the top producer of greenhouse gases. Each year, they rack up trillions of dollars in direct and indirect costs and claim nearly 100,000 American lives via crashes and pollution, ...

>Many of the automobile’s social costs originate in individual preferences, but an overlooked amount is encouraged—indeed enforced—by law. Yes, the United States is car-dependent by choice. But it is also car-dependent by law.

Huge +1 to trusting no one as a cyclist. Another thing I have learned is to be EXTRA cautious around slow cars. It’s ALWAYS the slow car that is about to do something erratic. Makes sense if you think about it, as a driver you usually slow down to give yourself time to find that parking spot, check if you should turn here, etc.
I'm just a simple bear, so I don't understand any of this stuff. (I comfort myself knowing I'm in good company.)

Skim reading this, I provisionally label Lyn Adlen as an advocate of monetary policy.

As every one knows, abandoning the gold standard, adopting fiscal policy, makes monitarians anxious.

Over time, I'm leaning towards a refreshed Keynesian view: empire means huge military means deficits. Both trade and federal.

I'm not a classical Liberal or a Neo-Liberal. I'm just saying Keynesian and MMT notions seems like useful metaphors for understanding the current world.

--

Lyn Adlen does mention petrodollars. But doesn't provide a clue to what comes next.

Rare earth dollars? Gigawatt hours dollars? Some kind of PoW (and therefore measure of energy) crypto coin?

Does it even matter? Are petrodollars just a shibboleth for monetarians that can't accept there's "no there there" when money became fiat?
Uhh 9 years /or ten?
Absolutely, otherwise they can shut down your account with $15k in it and hold it for 6 months. Ask me how I know, haha.
It's not a "trope". Several papers ended up getting censored, and local samples getting destroyed. I was around and combing through the news stream at that time. Project Evidence was the group of people collating the circumstantial evidence around it, and I've seen a notable dearth of material that doesn't smell of some level of having been contrivance to put the field of virology squarely outside the crosshairs of the public's ire, or having been motivated by plausible geopolitical motivations or face saving measures.

If you look at the locality of happenstance, the lab escape is more than worth looking into. Just because search engines are bombing anything with regard to it to the bottom of search results, and press farms are working hard at propagating the zoonotic origin without touching on any of the impracticalities inherent to making that full set of connections feasible does not mean the information is not out there to be found.
> I believe Massachusetts comes as close to capturing 100% of infections as anyone at this point, although that wasn't always the case.

So it does not capture 100%.

> CFR can overestimate or underestimate IFR.

Incorrect. CFR cannot be higher than IFR. The number of deaths per confirmed infection obviously isn't higher than the number of deaths per infection (confirmed or unconfirmed).

I'll continue to believe epidemiologists who actually have a clue what they are doing over your "general impression".
A 10% drop in currency would in your example, assuming no cost of shipping oil, US would go from 3.00 to 3.30 at 20% drop would mean 3.60 and even a US currency drop of 40% only gets you to $4.20. The data on trade indicates that countries that cheat on trade have epic growth rates and countries that do the "free trade" have close to zero growth or even declines. The data indicates local manufacturing has synergistic effects that massively outweigh the additional costs to consumers. See economist Ha-Joon Chang.

Ask HR: Can you create / control 100k Reddit accounts easily?
I was discussing this with my friend the other day. While Reddit strongly discourages self-promotion, it certainly can be done through creative methods. I'm curious how easy it would be for a company to buy control over 100k "real" Reddit accounts and use their upvotes to cause their products to hit the front page in order to increase sales. What are your thoughts?
Even more interestingly, this is bullshit.

(Unless you mean countries like New Zealand where the second wave just isn't happening)

There is a lag between cases and death, and death and the publication of cumulative reports on all-cause mortality.

If you happened to have read anything on the topic during the first wave, you'd know as much. Because it was repeated ad nauseam, until it became too ridiculous for even the most dedicated to keep on insisting that there were no excess deaths.
Before anyone gets worried that this means anything - it appears the author is using the term "crypto" in the "cryptocurrency" sense.

This is my experience with Microsoft: they view all security features as binary. As in:

Encryption: Yes.

Multi-factor authentication: Yes.

Do they care if the MFA is simply the user pecking at buttons like a bird trained with seeds: No.

There is a real problem with Azure AD MFA. Unlike the consumer MFA, it shows you exactly zero information about the source of the information. None. You get a choice of "approve" or "do not approve". You don't get any input information for making this decision.

Hacking this is trivial. If you know someone's password, you just have to occasionally try logging in. Eventually the user will accidentally click approve even though they didn't trigger the authentication.

You'd assume that nobody would ever fall for something like this, because surely nobody would be so stupid as to approve an MFA prompt they didn't trigger.

Meanwhile, my Microsoft Authenticator app triggers randomly about 5-10 times per day because every single MS app insists on "reauthenticating" me every 24 hours. So I'll be sitting at my desk and my phone will pop it up randomly. I'll look up, and sure enough, Teams wants me to re-MFA for some stupid reason.

I'm paranoid enough that I'll always reject these MFA prompts and then start the login cycle manually, but most people would just peck the button like a trained bird.

Similarly, I've run scripts before that needed 6 MFA prompts to complete (don't ask). I ran the script once and it asked 7 times... uh-oh. Is this an Azure bug, or a hacker from China? How could I possibly know?! The information is not provided to me!

This is Microsoft's fault, 110%, and I dare anyone here to argue otherwise.

So instead of reaching for the downvote button, make your case on how "yes, yes, yes, yes" is not a security disaster below in the comments please.

>"Concretely speaking, I want to use the linker to link a Chromium executable (~1.8 GiB in size) just in 1 second. LLVM's lld, the fastest open-source linker which I originally created a few years ago, takes about 12 seconds to link Chromium on my machine. So the goal is 12x performance bump over lld. Compared to GNU gold, it's more than 50x.

> 40 people coming from Mexico is highly unlikely to lead to 230,000 US cases/day.

Contagions have exponential growth. 40 people coming from Mexico after you've lifted the lockdowns means you need to continue them to keep the 40 from turning into a thousand and then hundreds of thousands. Which means lockdowns of the severity Australia used are useless here because you can never get below the floor necessary to lift them again.

> The contention isn't that overall funding was cut, it's that certain groups within the CDC saw significant cuts, and those cuts reduced readiness.

The problem with this kind of claim is that it's always the case. Priorities shift, staff gets reassigned etc. Which means that of the 1000 different units, 700 of which grew and 300 of which shrank, you'll be able to find in the list that shrank something that sounds like it might have helped against a given problem. It's just cherry picking.

> Regardless of whether Trump's missteps were politicized, they were still missteps. Doubling down on something after someone calls you out doesn't make them responsible for your actions.

The point is that they weren't missteps. Calling out someone for not actually doing something wrong in order to stir up controversy and ratings and politicize a public health issue is contemptible. Defending yourself against a baseless personal attack is not.

The problem, which CNN should have been able to predict, is that if you politicize an issue, people take sides, even if there was never any reasoned disagreement to be had. But maybe they did predict it and did it anyway, so that when less savvy political opponents predictably started making less supportable claims, it would give the instigators something to shoot down and mount on their wall. Even if people died.

Personally, I think it is a good policy for work culture. 20% does not just mean you have to work on your own idea but you can work on your other passions or to develop your skills. Say you are a backend dev and are passionate about ML, you could do a 20% with another team which is working on ML and develop your skills or just test waters.

If that work has impact you can also include it in your perf.
However, such pointers are unsafe, since someone could pass an invalid or null pointer

var/out variables are much safer, since the variable exists at the calling site , is valid and not null.

It is also much safer than C++'s & references. It is very subtle, but rather amazing if you think about it. Because C++ can return a & reference, it can return a reference to a value on the stack frame of the callee, which then becomes invalid. But the var/out variable always exists on caller's site, so it is always safe.

(at least if it a reference to the stack. a reference to the heap could be freed indirectly through another reference. )

Community colleges in the US serve three roles:

- Onboarding students directly out of secondary schools who don't yet have the academic requirements or financial ability for university, usually with intent to use this as a springboard to a cheaper university education; usually this terminates with a transfer to a university (and may or may not include an associate degree);

- Providing formal education for people interested in changing or advancing their career; usually this terminates with an associate degree;

- Providing formal but "casual" adult education, which includes the kind of courses you find at a Volkshochschule but also simply introductory tertiary courses (many of which would actually be final secondary courses outside the US) - the teachers are usually professionals but there's no expectation for the students to "use" the knowledge and auditing may be as common as taking the course for credit.

The main thing I want to point out is to avoid translating Volkshochschule as "junior college" which has an increasingly negative connotation in US English. Most decent junior colleges have expanded their programs and rebranded to full community colleges (or even universities) now and the term is mostly used for private, for-profit, vocational training.

(I should also add these terms vary a lot across English-speaking countries; I'm just referring to the US here.)
Hmmm, this is an interesting take, but I think you are expanding the scope of "core to _your_ business" a bit much. Product marketing, sales, and distribution are shared between _all_ businesses so unless you are a marketing, sales, or distribution company I (personally) wouldn't consider them part of the core business flywheel.

For example, let's pretend I have a fictional company that sells a web server. Marketing, sales, and distribution are all important parts of my business, but my "Core" business is the web server software. If I am looking to build reinforcing feedback loops that give me an advantage over time (flywheels) it's my opinion that you shouldn't be looking to build them (at least initially) in marketing, sales, or distribution.
