The EU has something Britain wants--a trade deal. Strike a deal with the UK to get their vaccines. Instead, we have a song and dance, empty threats and name calling.

It's hard to imagine any such deal being countenanced by the UK government. It's clearly in the stronger position here, and after its response to the virus situation has had so many problems in most areas, the handling of the vaccine has so far been a rare but very welcome exception. It seems implausible the government would give up such a huge PR win and instead do something that would surely be represented as risking their citizens' lives or worse, even in the already extremely unlikely event that the EU offered a much better deal than the one just concluded after years of negotiations.

As long as government ministers can confidently confirm that they believe the UK/AZ agreement is solid and enough doses will be available to meet the schedule the government has stated, they can try to maintain a dignified silence on the EU/AZ situation and let it be seen as a dispute over a contract to which the UK is not a party. They have little to gain by getting involved and much to lose.

I have done some tests on AMD servers and I the Linux scheduler does a pretty good job.
I do however get noticeable (a couple percent) better performance by forcing the process to run on the correct numa node.

Make sure you get as many numa domains as possible in your BIOS settings.

I recommend using numactl with the cpu-exclusive and mem-exclusive flags. I have noticed a slight perfomance drop when RAM cache fills beyond the sticks local to the cpus doing work.

One last comment is that you mentioned interrupts being "stiped" among CPUs. I would recommend pinning the interrupts from one disk to one numa-local CPU and using numactl to run fio for that disk on the same CPU.
An additional experiment is to, if you have enough cores, pin interrupts to CPUs local to disk, but use other cores on the same numa node for fio. That has been my most successful setup so far.
I think profits will come from page 5, paragraph a (the second a on that page):

"(a) costs related to the operation of the facility incurred while using the facility to
manufacture other products;"

are included in the vaccine costs.

There's so much involved, it's almost impossible to do many things from memory, especially across all different languages, frameworks, tools, platforms, etc. In the old days (for me, late 80's to early 90's, programming without the Internet), I remember having books next to the computer. Things were much simpler then.

> so you can return the same share N times, distinctness be damned?

Yes. At market prices. Another short seller offering $600 for the share you just delivered at $550? You don't get that share back to cover your position with. With no float supply on the market and infinite demand, you're stuck handing over ever larger amounts of money to your market maker to buy the same shares over and over again.

If they could cover their positions at current market rates, I bet they would. But the second they try, the price shoots up, because of all the HODLers keeping float down.
The question the article is about is 'can we deduce that a condition is discrete when we cannot measure it directly, only via symptoms'. If we could measure it directly - than we would obviously get a discrete distribution - but lets assume we we cannot do it. For example lets assume that we don't have the hi-tech flu tests and we can only measure temperature, frequency of cough, and some more subjective stuff like muscle and body aches, sore throat etc. These symptoms are not discrete - if we measure them in the whole population we shell not get any discrete distribution. So the fact that we can still deduce that there is a discrete condition underlying these continuos distributions is surprising - but apparently there are methods for that and one of them is called MAXCOV and it is briefly described in the article.

Also - what is the author conflating - can you explain what you mean by that?

> using a commercial FPGA to ASIC service

This was not an FPGA conversion.

"Commercial FPGA to ASIC service" usually refers to Altera/Intel's HardCopy or Xilinx's EasyPath. EasyPath is where Xilinx sells you defective FPGAs for way cheaper, but with just enough of the right parts of the fabric working that your design can still fit and work properly. HardCopy is where Altera sells you a small number of metal mask layers to implement your design on a much smaller/faster sea-of-gates style ASIC that mimics the non-reprogrammable parts of the target FPGA.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation did neither of these things. They tested their design on an FPGA, which is common, and then used standard cell libraries and IP blocks provided by the fab and their partners to get through the normal ASIC workflow.

It turns out it's just easier and faster to tell the tools to automatically place and route the core complex than to do a careful floorplan. Also given that the RP2040 is apparently "very overclockable" (the PIO bitbanged HDMI output bumped the clock to something like double the nominally guaranteed maximum), the merits of doing it this way seem sound.

Under American law this is probably the worst possible advice you could give someone.

Why? Because if you end up in front of a jury, that police officer is going to testify to that jury that you said "you'd tell them anything when they granted you immunity", a truthful statement, and the jury is going to fill in whatever gaps the prosecutor suggests they fill in.

If you are in police custody you ask for nothing from the police. You tell them that you are remaining silent until your lawyer arrives. And then you shut up.

I agree. Not talking to the cops is an easy policy to adopt if, like most of us, you live in a pretty safe neighborhood with nothing but victimless drug crimes, but a lot of people who have the most reason to fear the police also have the most reason to need them to do their job effectively. It's not so simple for them. If they talk to the police, maybe they go to jail, but if they don't talk to the police, maybe the next house that gets burgled is their mom's. Maybe the next car that gets stolen is theirs. It's a shitty bind to be in.

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner, and
PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.

Ideally you'd only have to worr about major version change, while all others should be backward compatible.

> But by far the likeliest explanation in my mind is that these institutions knowingly lied to the public in an attempt to manipulate people into not buying masks,

As I remember it, the advice wasn't "don't wear masks," the advice was "stay home." If they said "go buy masks," that would mean leaving your house to get a mask, which would directly contradict the more important advice of staying home. Also if they said wear a mask when you leave the house it would have been interpreted as "it's ok to go on with normal events as long as we have masks" which wasn't the message they were trying to send, either. The message was stay home, and at the time it was probably the right message, and not a lie.

> From my understanding, the Khronos group realized OpenCL 2.x was much too complicated so vendors just weren’t implementing it, or only implementing parts of it, so they came up with OpenCL 3.0 which is slimmed-down and much more modular.

Something like this also happened to OpenGL 4.3. It added a compute shader extension which was essentially all of OpenCL again, except different, so you had 2x the implementation work. This is about when some people stopped implementing OpenGL.
I'm thinking deeply on your comment, and appreciate it.

Aren't these just degrees of the same? I'm not sure the value of cultivating positive view of the small manifestation, but then scolding it when it becomes big. Imho, yes it's understandable, but not a perspective we should value as part of our growth -- we should just work to will it out of our minds, and maybe someday succeed?

Yours seems like a perspective that's valorizing the control of the impulse, putting fault in "lack of control", but still aspiring to salvage a wisdom compass from the feeling...? Many would say the core feeling doesn't truly serve us in any way that something more positive couldn't equally stand in for.

Regardless, I appreciate your sharing your perspective. I'm willing to consider we're both right, and mumble mumble "different strokes for different folks", and the world works out only when we can both push for it as we please :)
A typical lithium ion "14500" battery has that issue, yes.

There are some more unusual ones such as Kentli, which have built-in buck converter to give you 1.5V as a substitute for normal AA batteries. It's a clever design where the top of the cell has two separate contacts, the normal button-top gives you 1.5V, and a recessed ring around that hooks up to the actual battery cell for charging purposes. So you need a special charger for these.

Images and more info here: https://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Kentli%20AA%20280...

I've never actually seen any of these (have a bunch of NiMH cells and one fancy charger already) but it's a cool system. I don't think the capacity is significantly better, but devices that have trouble with NiMH's lower voltage would do better with these.

This specific case, and the norm of interviewing without access to references is not that interesting.

But it is kinda like a specialized version of a fun party question, "With what you know now, if you were sent back in time, how far could you go and usefully employ your knowledge of the future?" (E.g. I know chemical fertilizer is a big deal, but I definitely do not know how to make it. I studied heat engines in a physics class, but could not spark the industrial revolution a century earlier.)

Maybe the midway point between these is something like, "if you were sent back to an earlier era in computing, how far back could you go while usefully applying your current knowledge?" E.g. I work with the jvm constantly and I know that it was a big deal for a popular language to have an actually described memory model, but I couldn't build it myself in the 80s. Maybe I could build MapReduce or Spark in the 90s?

It's _hard_ working without the informational resources you're used to, but there are so many more fun ways to explore that gradient than web apps.

> It's also a pretty bad app

This doesn't surprise me very much. I'm gonna rant a bit now.

I used to make consumer facing software for IKEA 10+ years ago and the dynamic back then was that IKEA Communications (the marketing arm) would always have these pretty cool and interesting projects, but they (and we) were constantly running up against the wall that is IKEA Systems.

Basically, whatever Systems says is the law, and they had all kinds of... interesting laws.

For example, Systems owned all environments (production or otherwise) and had very draconian rules with regards to deployments. Everything had to be documented and packaged in certain ways, certain formats had to be used etc. This wouldn't be so bad if you are given clear instructions, but we never were. So we'd do our best, throw packages over the wall and then eventually get them back with pretty useless commentare like "This is not up to code" but no indication of what's missing or otherwise wrong.

Oh and you only had four deployment windows a year, once a quarter. It could take days to get a response, and if you missed the deadline you'd have to wait three months for the next window. Of course, whenever Communications had a project they wanted done it would be stale and out of date if you missed the deployment deadline, so it truly was a deadline as in your project is dead if you miss it. Needless to say, we had to crunch more than a few times.

But it was fun working with Communications – they were a very creative and fun bunch. It's also really cool to visit IKEA HQ down in Älmhult, where they have the photo studios, loads of furniture and props from pretty much any decade, a very cool 3D graphics department etc. We had a lot of fun there.

Anyway, Systems had a way to always make every project so much crappier than it could've been. They were like the lawyers that would come in and tell us that "you can't do this, you can't do that." Systems and Communications didn't really talk to one another either. It was a bit like being the kid in a family where the parents are always passive agressive against one another, and the kid is just sitting there in the middle having to deal with all the crap. The people were nice enough, but the whole setup was draining and you end up with a lot of compromises.

All that said, I had good fun working for IKEA back in the day, and I don't have any regrets. I also obviously have no idea what it's like to work for them now, so the above may have absolutely nothing to do with the AR app and current states of play etc. Maybe it's better now, but my experience having tried to plan both a kitchen and bathroom in the past few months lead me to believe that maybe not that much has changed in the past decade.
This won't work for my docs at all. I use all three unordered bullets to differentiate things in plaintext.

The opinionation that removes synonyms will kill any chances of this working with legacy IMO. Any significant doc base will hit myriad issues that come down to "I didn't like that form of it." I was initially OK with the idea of a parseable subset, which would be useful, but this goes too far with a "one way only" attitude. No thanks.

That said, someone should do what the project claims to do, without gutting the language. A formalized subset of CommonMark that only skips formally indescribable specs but otherwise preserves everything else would be useful in some situations. It might even become the defacto CommonMark spec if it's easier to implement.

While Pony is awesome, I think what you describe is a weakness and not a strength. If Pony were to move more of its hardest concepts to standard libraries, it would be a far simpler language, even if it maintained the actor/behavior concepts.

Much of Pony can be done with Arc/Mutex/&/move in Rust, but with special syntax, and it's that special syntax that kills the language frankly.

You can implement actors in Rust pretty easily. I've done it multiple times, including in a way that provides a pony-like nominal interface. It isn't as powerful, and it isn't as efficient, because frankly I'm not very good at this sort of thing and don't have time to work on it, but it's possible.

What pony gives is some syntactic sugar in some important places (the actor keyword, the be keyword) and a very strong runtime.
I'm pretty much sure a good chunk of people being hired as UX designers are clueless about this whole topic, which to me, is the most important one.
A decade ago in secondary school I learned of capitalism as an economic system where [the vast majority of] the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit through the purchase of labour, and of socialism as a broad umbrella term for economic systems where the means of production are socially owned (and that there are various kinds of social ownership) and self-managed by labour itself. As far as I am aware these are the definitions that have been in play for the century and a half or so that the theories have even existed. In my experience they only get weird redefinitions (such as socialism apparently being "whenever the government does something") in particularly polarised countries (cough the US cough). Sure, people arguing from ignorance or disingenuity are technically having a debate, but why on earth is everyone listening to them?

Beyond that, speaking more precisely about tax policies (statism), free market competition (market economics, laissez-faire) and safety nets (social welfare) is an endeavour all societies should partake in, sure. But it's also orthogonal to the axis of capitalism vs socialism. Having a higher marginal tax rate, regulating markets, and/or implementing a welfare state doesn't magically remove the private ownership from a capitalist system. Similarly, charging no taxes (or even not having a state at all), operating a free market and/or not having a social security system wouldn't make a system that runs on social ownership any less socialist.

It's like attempting to resolve a debate between functional programming and OOP by saying we should focus on specific elements of the two so that we can speak more precisely about things like static/dynamic typing instead. That does not answer the original question at all.

They don't even have to misconstrue it. You could unintentionally change some facts in your story from what you had said 5-10 minutes ago, for example. Cops are trained to pick up on little stuff like that, while you might not even realize you did it.

I doubt most developers can do this. Especially if it involves all the configuration needed to deploy the site. I don't think they need to anyways. Most development involves a small amount of custom application logic and a large amount of hooking things together and manipulating data into the right format. Any programming of this sort requires lots of documentation checking to make sure everything is integrated properly.
