Well, in theory, Zig doesn't need to care about the specific approach. In the LLVM IR that Zig produces, thread-local variables are still handled as an abstract "thread_local" flag on global variables. The platform-specific parts are handled by a combination of the IR-to-native-object-file translation done by LLVM, and the linking step. If both of those worked correctly, thread locals would "just work" on M1. The problem is that (a) Zig uses LLD for linking and (b) LLD is buggy.

I'm not surprised that Zig is using LLD. Zig wants to be fully self-contained, able to cross-compile for any supported platform without requiring the user to install a toolchain for that platform. And they already use LLVM for code generation, so LLD for linking is the natural choice.

It's a beautiful vision - really. Toolchain installation sucks. And the stuff they're doing with processing and bundling OS C headers [1] is quite innovative. It's just that using LLVM for everything is not a reality for Apple platforms yet. Hopefully it will be soon, once Apple whips LLD into shape.

Edit: mimalloc is different; it reimplements thread-local storage by hand, using `asm` statements, rather than using native `thread_local` variables, presumably because the latter can be slow.

Mostly activist citizen efforts from the outside, as legislation is going to be required to appropriate funding and direction from Congress, and the legislators I interface with are busy with arguably more pressing work (unfortunate but entirely understandable, such are the times).

I intend to apply at the USDS for the Login.gov team in some capacity to help on the tech side if the necessary legislation can be put in place to support such an initiative. Their system already supports the DOD CAC (common access card), which is a short walk away from a citizen digital ID card (would be a different org and PKI root to administer and govern citizen cards, to grossly simplify).

Login.gov recently expanded to support city and local gov IAM needs (when they have ties to federal programs) [1] [2], so there is roadmap momentum and executive branch will. "Digital identity is a big deal. [3]" They're already serving 30 million users, and 500k DAUs, really just a matter of scaling up.

Some Thoughts on Smart Canes
It’s not a binary thing, nutsac.
Just shows how politics have divided us. No one seems to be thinking independently and that includes myself - I try but often the first reaction is otherwise.

You can despise someone deeply, but if they are citing facts, reason, logic, etc - have no association, they stand on their own. Doesn't matter who uttered it.
Again, a UBI will in many cases reduce marginal rates, because no more means testing. Right now if you want to hire a maid to clean your house, you have to overcome the loss of government benefits to them from taking on more work hours.

Meanwhile at the top the difference would be less than an increase from 40% to 60% because the UBI is replacing all of these other programs which would no longer have to be funded, or could be made strict alternatives to the UBI which would make the UBI less expensive.

The kernels policy is not to break userspace and RHEL 8 which still supports X is 2 years into a 10 year support term.

Also nvidia still provides drivers for 18 year old hardware for x under solaris

If you want the current version built this year for Linux instead of the legacy version you will have to move up 2010 hardware though.

I find it quite amusing that proponents of insert technology here seem to come in 2 stripes.

A) Those who believe new thing is superior and think you ought to try it

B) People smugly stating that you must move to new thing because the other options are going away see wayland systemd gnome.

It reminds me of a supervisor at a telecom support center who gleefully explained that the new system would hang up on people who kept mashing zero on the automated phone menu that preceeded getting to a person to make you go through it.

He didn't understand that people didn't want to use the new automated process because in general such systems are crappy and confusing.
I'm not sure why it should be my last option. There are several problems with autocratic leadership, one of which is that many times, the whims of the autocrat are fundamentally at odds with the good of the people he manages.

Yes, weddings enforce a certain formal fashion and culture. That it is normal and widely supported and not a problem for most people. It is only when these practices infringe on some right or induce some harm (as in your example, weddings that do archaic purity tests as "tradition") that we decide these thjngs should evolve. If we didn't do that, weddings would still include the time old tradition of women being traded for goats/cash.
I couldn't speak to the US healthcare system, but from what I've heard it's probably much worse for usual medical needs.

I'm glad you've had a better experience with the NHS than I have; my wife has a chronic condition and has had a pretty bad time in the NHS - she hates going to the doctors now from how many times she's been called a liar or accused of just trying to feed a painkiller addiction (despite not actually asking for painkillers). All because many doctors seemingly struggle to admit that they don't know what's wrong.

I just bring this up because I think (and I could be wrong) that some people see socialised healthcare as a panacea but my experience with it is that it's actually very inconsistent and regularly lets people down (not just my wife, a good few others that I know as well). I still wouldn't choose the US system over the NHS though, not by a long shot.

At non-obsessive levels there are worse things people could have done (and did do). But it was mostly harmful to the degree it took time and energy away from more effective responses.

Flow Founder Andrew Wilkinson Lost $10M by “Doing Something Stupid”
Strange how Asian is equated with Chinese.

How insulting.

It’s often the typical virtue-signaling liberals who group disparate languages, races, religions, and cultures in one monolithic block. What do you mean by Asian that would encourage one to use the term synonymously with “Chinese”? Are you referring to “people with slanty eyes”?

White urban liberals do this a lot... to them, all “brown” people are the same. A person from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, etc... they’re all equivalent and exchangeable.

Sad to see this same racist mindset used now for all of Asia.
This may be the proverbial signal to noise ratio. For example, there are a gazillion really good musicians with channels on YouTube. You could argue that some of them are better than similar musicians who have record deals, but due to the huge competitive numbers, only a few get noticed.

The lowest paid person at Amazon is earning well over the median wage in Bessemer, Alabama.

Amazon could probably have no problem staffing the center at $11/hr there, but they're paying $18-$22 instead. How on earth can you define that as 'exploitation'? It's borderline charity, given the observable labor market equilibrium there.
Hard agree. Mac resource use of Zoom is insane. The only machine I've used that feels not bogged way down and blowing it's fans like crazy is my M1 mac and even then it's showing > 50% cpu use. When demoing our app in a screen share on my old iMac 4K the machine would be screaming it's fans and much much slower than normal. Meanwhile Messages screen sharing used less than 10% CPU. IDK what they are doing but it's not right at all.
>But, who sets the scale & scope?

Whoever does it, hopefully it is after evidence-based discussions to establish a framework for ethical and safe application. Just because the box can’t be closed doesn’t mean we just throw our hands up and say “well, nothing we can do to steer this in a responsible direction”. We don’t breed humans like dogs to produce super men, even though we theoretically could.

Full disclosure: I work in this industry and am a claims adjuster on fiduciary plans that fall under ERISA

Everything you're saying is partially correct, but it heavily depends on the specifics of the plan. FAANG companies, in particular, typically have extremely generous PPO plans that offer 0 co-insurance and broad networks. You're correct that, out-of-network, balance billing may occur, but Amazon's plans have networks so broad that this is unlikely to happen.

In addition, if you look at Amazon's plan documentation, they also offer a Kaiser HMO for which none of this applies.

There's a lot that can be improved around price transparency, but Amazon is one of the few companies that offers Cadillac gold-standard insurance, and because ERISA requires that all employees receive the same benefits, this extends to their full-time warehouse workers too.

11 union decertifications since 2009 is 1 per year. That's fine, great, people should decertify their union if it's corrupt or their needs change or whatever.

Personal experience with unions. The unions at Boeing protect workers who do drugs and sleep on the job. The teamsters union in Boston prevented my small company from unloading a small amount of equipment from our truck ourselves(enforced with veiled threats). The longshoreman's union hands out jobs to well connected members and runs a racket.

I'm not saying all unions are bad. I think many industries might benefit from well run, transparent, regulated unions. But I have seen many examples where they are bad.
We usually run a survey with users who join our telegram community with one question (2 at the max) only after landing significant feature updates to the app.

We also send (often a different) survey email (along with product updates) to folks who've subscribed in case we expect to learn something else than from the responses in the telegram group. In our experience, with our audience, emails don't work as well as Telegram.

What we also do to gauge user-interest for an Android (userspace) DoH client and firewall we build is:

1a. Include a link to Telegram community in the about page prominently.

1b. After every update, shows a changelog to the user with a button "suggest features" that emails feedback.

2. Contact email features on all our webpages.

3. Google the past 24 hours for keywords related to our app to see who's discussing it, and if it is a forum like reddit, leave a comment and personal email (as opposed to generic support at domain dot com) encouraging the user to contact.

4. Newsletter to collect potential customer email-ids. As mentioned above, survey are always sent out to them once in a blue-moon and only with accompanying significant product updates.

5. All incoming to generic mailbox are replied-to from a personal email. Emails always end with a remark asking the user to not shy away from sending bug reports, queries, and suggestions.

6. Monitor related subreddits where similar products/apps are discussed, and post replies only after the thread is off the front-page to avoid derailing a hot discussion with self-promotion (which gets you banned on most subreddits).
Long time Linux (and therefore X11) user here. I'm not much of a programmer, more of a techy end user.

I have read of the supposed benefits of Wayland, but from what I can percieve, the cons (too numerous to mention, but mostly breaking a billion useful things that X has had for some time) seem to out weigh the pro. Yes, the pro. Fractional scaling.

I don't like actively cheering for something to fail, but I really don't get it. X11 is in no way broken enough to justify such a huge change, and I'm concerned that the KDEs and Gnomes of the world are going to ramrod the thing through regardless.

It's cuts both ways. Some of the UK Politicians happily throwing around "China/Wuhan virus" got butt-hurt on Twitter when people called the B117 strain the "UK Variant."

That's not a Ponzi scheme, and you diminish the fraud of real Ponzi schemes by equating them with a frothy venture capital market. Very few startups deliberately commit fraud by paying out old investors with new investors. Just because seed and Series A round investors can liquidate earlier doesn't mean it's a fraudulent operation.

Sounds like you are asking about tech transfer capabilities?

As a starting point, here is a good intro article from WIRED that you might find useful:

https://www.wired.com/brandlab/2017/02/tech-transfer-lab-mai...
"It is really not that hard to tell who are the bad performers."

That sounds like an entitled viewpoint. Imagine how it feels to be someone of a different skin color or hair style or manner of speaking and living in a society where, as a middling performer, any boss you have can fire you for "poor performance" with no other explanation required. Without that life experience, perhaps it is hard to view that situation as problematic. But for people with those experiences, they would prefer a system that has some insulation between them and the whims of their (mostly white, male, higher class) bosses.
On the one hand, Snopes is correct that the $2,000 advocacy began in and continued from a $2,000 vs. $600 debate for the second stimulus checks, and that, viewed in that context, a third $1,400 check achieves what was originally being discussed.

OTOH, there is a legitimate point that the messaging was not updated after the $600 stimulus passed, and after that point one could (especially if they were not aware of the same actor’s advocacy prior) reasonably interpret it as a call for a third, $2,000, payment.

But most of the objections aren’t from people in that position, but from people people in the $600 camp or in the left-of-Biden monthly recurring payment camp.

I think “mostly false” is accurate, but I can also see why people might reasonably disagree as to where in the space [0] of neither-completely-true-nor-completely-false statements this falls; I don’t think “mostly true” would be reasonable, but I could definitely see “mixture” or, perhaps, if one reads “misled” as a fact claim of general effect on people recieving the claim, “unproven”.

> I don't, genuinely don't understand this sentence. What is workers? Who are workers?

Workers are people who work in the rougher jobs, blue collar if that's what you prefer. White collar unions are very different in my opinion.

My experience is this: I've worked with people who were workers and then transitioned to working for the union, either because they were natural organizers, or because they had accidents that made it hard to work their job (a surprising amount of them had lost a finger or two). When they spoke about these kinds of things, like votes or organization rates, they were quick to give plenty of reasons why their colleagues would make some decision because they knew all the arguments and feelings.

The other type I met at the union was college educated, usually political science, spoke a lot of class consciousness and collective interests and had never worked the jobs the union represented. When you talked to them, they didn't understand why workers made some choice, it was always some nicely worded version of "they're not smart enough to make the right choice" or "somebody fed them lies".
