There are some good articles in here (recently added) - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/performance-diagnostics/ - but @randomascii's stuff was priceless (I'm still using UIforETW as it's friendliest little ui to setup xperf). I'm still struggling with WPA though (from loading/waiting to load symbols, to sometimes getting right there lost - but often it's helpful).

Visual Studio's own Performance Profiler (Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+F2) also uses ETW - just more streamlined, better UI - but once it collects a bit too much data, it just can't handle it.
That sounds fun; is anything public yet / where should I watch for announcements?
Understanding Why You Need Insurance
For a long time police and firefighting were essentially private services. It was horrible.

In the US the public can't really choose to meaningfully allocate money for public health. It's catastrophically expensive.
I truly don't mean to be snarky, but I think you're doing worse than an incredibly wide array of medium-risk mutual funds and ETFs.

Maybe so, but in cache is one part of the overall story. If you look at benchmarks run on phones with both types of processor, Qualcomm is ahead, but the 2100 is nipping at their heels.
Postgres has features that help these sort of OLAP type workflows. Things like:

* partitioning your fact/aggregate tables (which was mentioned)

* rolling up old data reducing granularity as data ages can help with record count and overall db size

* PG triggers and stored procedures can be used to manage slowly changing dimensions

* the hstore and json column types are super useful for implementing quazi-nosql storage along side traditional relational storage

* window functions and CTEs (in 12) are great for writing analytical style queries

* Implementing incremental loads with a staging/buffer table and possibly with plpgsql can really make connecting it all easier

Not saying I didn't enjoy the article. It always makes me happy to see people realizing how suited PG can be to analytical workflows especially for small to medium workloads which represents most of what people want to do.
Dynamic Promotion and Demotion for GC
Ok my take, it's not the processor, it's the software, iOS gone extra mile making ARM works good, that includes weird tricks with objective-c ... Samsung do not have that! they have Android, it is shit on both performance and batter, so making something for fuchsia?
As long as you’re ok with macOS, there simply is no competitor to MacBook Air for the needs for 90% of people, and there hasn’t been for nearly a decade in my opinion. It’s cheap, lightweight, fast, long battery life, and has a tried and true design since many years.
I've worked in games, I've worked out of games. The workers in games are absolutely being exploited because they think the work environment is unique.

And yes, there's something cool to see people at PAX or elsewhere praising a project you worked on. But saying people are making a tradeoff, or giving up salary to work on games is a defeatist attitude -- big game devs should be paying what big tech companies pay.

You should not have to give up pay to work in games, and it absolutely kills me every time I see an engineer claim that it's somehow noble to do so.

In the indie space, sure, pay is going to be weaker. But there are thousands working for Blizzard, Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, CDPR, etc. etc. etc. who are all being grossly underpaid for the value they bring to their company.
The answer is that it differs between public and private companies. It's exceedingly difficult to value the equity in a startup that may not IPO for years. Its exceedingly easy to value RSUs that vest each month and then are immediately sold for cash.
> There is no evidence

I don't remember it well enough to say whether I consider it evidence or not. If you haven't seen what I'm referring to then I think you're just being dismissive. In any case, there was a post here many considered credible that claimed to have evidence that it could have come from a lab. Do with that what you will. In the mean time, I don't know whether it came from a lab or not and I don't need to.
Why the bot? I'm building something similar but for PC. A way to organize files and stuff on a drive without touching the actual file. Something Google Picasa PC like but for all kinds of files. I found my girlfriend organizing her graphics for a cricket and had no way to tag them or group them. I didn't like anything I could buy or that I read about.
I would like to add belatedly that I'm glad you're interested in this and don't want to discourage you from researching this area; I just think you should read the hashcash/rpow history including problems that people ran into, because -- like most things having to do with spam -- I think it turned out to be a much thornier issue than anyone expected. So I think we don't have a clear path to a solution based on this research at present, because of things like spammers buying what we would now call mining hardware in order to outcompete regular people using a desktop PC, or spammers buying time on botnets for the same reason.

But, it's very worth thinking about whether there are approaches that don't have this problem. In a way, that question is parallel to the ongoing debate in cryptocurrency mining about whether there's a way to do a mining-based blockchain that will continue to be decentralized and involve regular people's devices somehow, and that won't even up giving an advantage to centralized miners who invest a lot of capital into server farms and custom hardware. I know one recent entrant in this area is Chia which uses a proof-of-storage mechanism; I don't know whether that actually succeeds in reversing economic pressures toward centralization, but it could be interesting to look into whether its structure and incentives could somehow be bootstrapped into a "apparently, someone probably dedicated some moderately expensive resources that are probably on an ordinary PC, for a moderate period of time, in order to send you this message". And again, without ultimately getting hijacked by botnets that can make third parties' PCs participate illicitly. :-(
I wonder if Bill Gates has been so publicly upset about internet conspiracy theories about himself because his own wife began to believe some of the internet's claims about him...
Royal Mail trialling drones to deliver test kits to remote areas [video]
Quantitative easing prevents the economy from completely shutting down, which helps everyone, not just the rich. If the Government can issue trillions of dollars in debt that mainly goes into regular people's pockets (stimulus checks, umemployment, 60% of PPP loans/grants, wages for pork jobs), then the Federal Reserve buying off an equal amount of debt shouldn't be seen as a stimulus for the rich.
So, what are best practices to avoid this situation in the first place? MFA. Billing alerts when estimated charges are over expected spending amounts. Anything else? Seems like a small mistake here could really harm a small business. Are there good ways to detect access that hasn't yet been exploited? Someone mentioned monitoring API calls, but what I'd googled on that seems fairly broad.
Some people work hard, some people don't work hard. Communist and Capitalist societies have different ways to coerce people to work. In the Capitalist system, people work because they don't want to starve, because they want a nicer car etc...
In China back in the 70-80s, they tried to make sure that no one starved (with varying degrees of success) but there was no option to not work. Work in your work unit or work in the labor camp. We have the worst of two words right now, people do not want to work and are not being coerced into working by forces of nature or government
lol, military spending would go down a lot more than 50%
I think this might be about right. Google's internal tools were built by very smart engineers for use by other very smart engineers. (I'm thinking especially of the Producers Framework as I write this, but there are other examples.)

I've seen plenty of intelligent people struggle to get their heads around Google's abstractions. The tools are powerful enough, though, that once you get it you can pretty easily build stuff that scales to ridiculous levels.

It could be that better design will make these kinds of tools more accessible in the future.
It's much, much easier to root Android than it is to jailbreak iOS.

For one I run a rooted image to start with so I don't need to actually root it.
In theory though, if that stuff is mostly dormant, it should eventually just get paged out and consume neither significant RAM nor CPU time.

Of course, that depends on that software not being horribly miswritten to wake up all the time.
This is useful! Thanks for writing this out. I find in-process REST intriguing as it stands a little in contrast with OOP techniques. One possibility I’ve found with in-process REST is that it seems to make live patches feasible - more feasible than in erlang. I use the idea as the core of Inai - https://github.com/imaginea/inai (post describing it https://labs.imaginea.com/inai-rest-in-the-small/) ... so am curious to play with that aspect of ObjS.
It would also be more like 30 years before they enter a significant risk age, not 10.
Yes, the McDonald’s philosophy.

Having clearly articulated processes certainly help consistency.
I can see some similarities. There are lots of geometric shapes as well as bright pastel colors used in this new "corporate Memphis".
There are plenty of games companies that are billion dollar businesses. They absolutely can afford to pay FAANG salaries.
Looking forward to the retractions from all those publications that strongly implied or outright claimed AP was involved.
They were fantastic, my 901 lasted years - with Debian and a couple of upgrades (storage/RAM) it was a great little machine. Lightweight, compact and rugged.

I even ran OS X snow leopard on it for a while.
Models of major disruptions from other countries don't support this. In general, urban areas do quite well because neighbors and communities look after each other, whereas as isolated communities fall over as soon as they run out of something.

Distribution is also easier in the cities due to population density.

In general there's a fiction pushed by people who live in lower density areas that somehow they're tougher or more caring or something - that for some reason everyone in cities is just waiting for a moment to suddenly slaughter each other. It doesn't happen.
It's all about finding a company that's small enough so revenue per employee is north of a million and your work is visible to your entire organization and the quantity of work far exceeds the number of people. With these three conditions, you will get both meaningful work and high pay without even trying (except trying to get into the company).
If you're standing, you're not accelerating anywhere. Acceleration is a change in velocity, which is a change in position. The forces on you are balanced: the force of gravity is balanced by the force exerted upon you by the ground. You're not going anywhere, and therefore you're not accelerating.

An accelerometer works by comparing the difference between some mass that is acted upon by an external force and a related mass that is loosely connected to it (e.g. by a spring-like linkage. whose strain we can measure) as not to be acted upon by that force directly.

If you move the casing of an accelerometer, the sprung mass inside it lags behind, and thereby the acceleration can be measured via strain gauges or whatever.

Gravity defies accelerometers because, unsurprisingly, gravity acts on all of the the masses contained in an object equally.

(At least any gravitational field you are likely to encounter in ordinary experience is going be almost perfectly uniform across an everyday object.)

It is when you are in free-fall, that is when you're accelerating due to gravity. And that's exactly when the accelerometer doesn't tell you anything, because every part of the object is in the same free-fall; all of you is accelerating. The accelerometer is differential. It doesn't see a difference, so it doesn't see acceleration.

You now that free-fall is acceleration because orbiting satellites are in free fall and they follow circular paths. Objects will not move in a circle unless a force accelerates them toward the center. Like when you spin a mass on the end of as string, it goes in a circle due to the centripetal force exerted by the tension carried in the string.

When you're standing on the planet, your accelerometer is lying to you. Gravity is acting on the sprung mass inside the accelerometer, and it's also acting on the case which holds that mass. But the case is constrained from moving, whereas the sprung mass isn't. So a differential strain develops, which "looks and feels" like acceleration.

In summary, an accelerometer is an instrument which measures the acceleration due to a force which is applied just to its casing, and not to some critical piece of mass held inside. Gravity causes equal acceleration of the casing and that piece of mass, and so gravitational acceleration is immeasurable by that accelerometer.

Acceleration can be measured with regard to some frame of reference via distance and time calculations.
Why shouldn't it be? It's a website; making it not operate 24/7 takes active effort and does not have any obvious benefit.

Why are so many migrants desperate to get in on the border? Give these jobs to them instead. That is some perspective.
I looked into syndication and commercial real estate earlier this year. My primary motivation was to diversify my holdings.

I ultimately bought a house where I could rent rooms out on airbnb or to renters instead of going with a syndication. The main factor was getting leverage: a 30 year mortgage at 2.8% APY is basically free money.

Airbnb is not passive, but I look at it this way: I'm going to live in a house anyways, I might as well get into the business of living.
Which is exactly what we're doing, via our government (which is of, by and for the people).
Yeah. And for anyone unaware, this technique, SSL stripping, was made well-known (and perhaps pioneered?) by Moxie Marlinspike of Signal with his tool sslstrip back in 2011: https://github.com/moxie0/sslstrip. I believe that's what he was most famous for before Signal.

It's unfortunate that this very simple attack remains extremely successful even a decade later. I'm surprised Tor Browser didn't enforce HTTPS Everywhere for all domains by default years ago. HTTPS Everywhere was released in 2010, before sslstrip, even. HSTS and HSTS preloading helps, but individual site owners still have to explicitly submit their site to be added to the preload list.
There was an Exynos chromebook nearly 10 years ago! It was pretty great for what it was. Slim, light and cheap!
Perhaps, in being so widely shared, it has in fact achieved a level of success that is incredibly rare for an advertisement.
How good is the reporting around this?

I'm no defender of Gates - though his Polio work seems great to mankind - hard to understate.

But seems incredibly an incredibly thin line between the "correlation" and the implication that: Melinda left Bill because he was Epsteins "client".
If you stay within the Tor network and don't exit, you dont really need the cert for encryption-- the traffic is encrypted end-to-end and decrypted on the hosting server already. Most onion sites are http. For these sites, proving identity to get a trusted cert is the barrier. If let's encrypt had an onion service, that could solve some of this.

Edit: clarified
At that point the business should either pivot to a new strategy, or liquidate in an orderly fashion and return any remaining capital to investors. If your business is on an unsustainable path then there's no point in continuing.
This is what I came here to say, very much agree. I frequently have the experience of going to examine.com or Cochrane Collaboration for info on more natural remedies and see that we just don’t have enough science on them to know.

Feels like the kind of market failure that could be solved by foundations, government funding, or legislated incentives to pharma
Thanks for deciding what's good for me!
Agree on the process points.

Re: the hype .. what I would say is, as an employee of a FAANG, is that I work with really smart people. Some of the smartest and most competent people I've ever worked with. Most much smarter than myself.

But after 9 years, I'm not convinced that their intelligence always yields results that exceed that of other companies I've worked at. In some ways, yes, but in other ways no. So, I dunno.
Apple's UK users deserve app price compensation, claim says
I think you misunderstand the parent's post. It's not about critiquing someone's choices, it's about recognizing when you are being exploited.

And yeah, maybe the game devs being exploited think the situation is fine. The long hours for low pay is paid back by the intangibles of working on a game.

The point isn't that the dev made the choice, it's that it was ever framed as a choice in the first place. Many games studios are making billions in profits and absolutely could pay FAANG salaries and still turn profits.

So it's less about individual choices, and more about ensuring the workers are getting compensated fairly for the work they love doing.
I'll be watching this space, but so far there is nothing here.
I feel like this manifest seriously lacks the part where it should be playing devil's advocate. I don't have a say in this matter, and I don't know if the author is right anyway. But let's suppose that whoever pushes this agenda indeed is mistaken, and that he's not acting malevolently, and just doesn't see something that the author sees: I'm pretty sure he has some ideas why NIS 2 is necessary. If so, listing (quite speculative) counter-arguments without addressing why "pro-"arguments aren't necessarily correct isn't very convincing.

So: why the proponents of this proposal (supposedly) think it's necessary, and why they are mistaken and it actually isn't?
Wouldn't this be the year of laptop Linux?
Wow. Don't see many 'how to get your act together' articles from Nobel-prize winners!

"If you really want to contribute to our theoretical understanding of physical laws... It should be possible, these days, to collect all knowledge you need from the internet.... Is it possible to weed out those very rare pages that may really be of use? I know exactly what should be taught to the beginning student. The names and topics of the absolutely necessary lecture courses are easy to list, and this is what I have done below."

There’s a whole lot of over simplified premise in this thought process. I’ll start here: If there's anyone that's time-proven competent at tactical equipment handling, it's law enforcement

Police aren’t well trained.

Because of this when they use any lethal or non lethal device innocent bystanders are frequently hurt maimed and even killed, especially when police use flash bangs.

Did you set up billing alerts? If you had an alert at say, $1500/month, you would've noticed almost immediately.

I also worked in the industry and would agree with your assessment. Many of the senior folks I talked to even agreed that crunch was a 'mandatory, necessary' part of game development.
There is something bigger going on, Covid accelerated it. A lot of people are exhausted and lost hope and are giving up. From factory jobs going over seas to Cheap H1B labor replacing the US Tech worker. The Gov loves the corporations more than the people and the Corporations are running the Gov.

Even the military is having a hard time recruiting, why serve a country that doesn't love you....
Thr ISAPI modules don't run in kernel mode, but they're in-process with IIS (back in W2K) and it's a bit fraught.

Lots of people buy 15 inchers with dedicated graphics etc. Or like... run Linux (which hoses the battery on a lot of stuff if you just use it out of the box without tweaking stuff).

Also really cheap laptops aren't as great about battery life just cuz of reasons. I think there's a lot of selection bias (like people who have a lot of money will buy macbooks in general cuz that's what everyone says to do)
Hope you aren't talking about Amazon Games Studios, because that place is incredibly toxic from what I understand.

It's not that the government programs provide those. It's that if you don't see a clear path to those things, and the extra $300/week unemployment benefit puts you not too far from what you were making at the shit job, why not wait until the benefits run out to go back to the shit job?
There were very few Neanderthals in Europe who had viable offspring with modern humans compared to the size of the (otherwise quite heterogenous) migration wave coming from Africa - and their DNA was obviously very similar to ours from the beginning. So it makes sense that the net impact on genetic diversity wasn’t very large, even if it is detectable.
Yes, but if your child is school age -- schools which are now increasingly going to in person instruction -- and you are immunocompromised, what are you going to do? Same question if you live in a multi-generational household, but now there are grandkids going to school and kids going to work.

I see elsewhere you're claiming that long Covid isn't a thing. It is, full stop. Unless you're suggesting that living with lung and heart damage caused by Covid isn't a complication of Covid?
thanks for the info! Buying cars is hard. I know nothing about cars and haven't owned one in 10 years so trying to learn. Getting one so i can get out climbing outside more (mountains) so that's why I was leaning toward a tacoma with the larger engine. The climbing gyms here are no joke 10% 100k+ sprinter vans, 40% subaru, 20% tacoma, the rest mixed ;)
and what about Cookie Monster? Did he ever make it to stardom?
It doesn't provide those things, but it does provide the basics. So if your job doesn't provide those things either, the basics are the best you can hope for. This means you might as well attain those basics at the lowest effort.

It's entirely accurate - software development is a branch of engineering. The name doesn't come from a literal "engine" (though the origin is the same), it means "someone who contrives contraptions".
