We had a vaguely similar lab at Cambridge. We were given a mostly-implemented MIPS machine in Verilog (IIRC we just had to write the code that visualised the memory on screen), and had to implement GoL to run on the MIPS core.

Lol. This crazy lady probably said Covid leaked from a lab in Wuhan too, right? Can’t trust anything you don’t hear from the NYT.
What's an example of an error that's undetectable? I'm a little confused about what that means. If an error produces no observable effect, it doesn't seem like it matters very much, unless I'm missing something.
Also can't agree enough. I have someone on my team who lives on a farm in a remote part of India. His area has power outages 1-2 times a week. Does he just let video calls end when the power goes out? No, he got a generator.

It's his choice to live in that area. The amount of money he saves by not being in a major city more than enough covers the cost of a generator.

As an IC it seems like a small inconvenience, but as a manager having other team members and other departments complain about so-and-so for being unresponsive and cutting out of calls constantly is just one more problem I have to deal with.
And that's fair, please file an issue. I will literally not remember this conversation tomorrow, let's not lose it.

> Is it worse to peg your economy to a decentralized cryptocurrency, or a fiat currency controlled by a large powerful near-neighbor who only occasionally even remembers you exist?

A currency needs stability. Speculation needs volatility.

Speculation only works when there's a stable currency to dump your value into when the the security your trading is going in the wrong direction.
It was more than just "a single predator sighting." The article says it was two drones and one of them crashed, which is a lot more dramatic. They didn't say how close the crash was to the nesting birds. And they didn't say how long the drones were flying around and how they were flying around before the birds decided to abandon. We don't know, perhaps they were buzzing the terns at a low altitude, or hovering for a long time in a way that looked like a falcon.

There's a big difference between a dangerous looking person passing you by on a busy street, and one that's standing on the sidewalk in front of your house, staring at your window for an hour.

Some birds are very neophobic. And some types of birds have less commitment to eggs than chicks -- a new nest and new eggs can be laid, but actual hatched chicks are much harder to abandon. Terns are very social, so a few abandoning their nests might easily lead to a mass exodus.
> There are no arguments against early abortion that wouldn’t be either religiously motivated, or based on non- religious logical fallacy.

This is only true if you expand “religious” to mean “based on moral axioms regardless of source”, but then, any argument for or against doing (or allowing, or prohibiting) anything would be religious.

> From what I’ve seen on American media, almost all of it is religiously motivated.

OTOH, yes, the American anti-abortion movement is almost entirely a product of politically weaponized Christian conservatism.

> It doesn’t matter that fundamentalists don’t identify themselves as fundamentalist.

While the religious groups involve overlap with Fundamentalism (which is a particular subset of Protestantism), they aren’t all Fundamentalist.

Part of the problem is that writing html is lost knowledge. Extinct.

Before you think out loud how simple html is and you still remember doing that a million years ago ask yourself this: do you write now and would you pay to hire someone to do that?

It’s not a job or skill you can be hired for. Instead you have to use React if you want employment. So that’s an immediate 50x swell right there immediately out of the gate and we haven’t even gotten to poor coding practices.

Oh are we back to "Bitcoin is unstable" FUD. I missed the memo. I was still going with the "Bitcoin is bad for environment" FUD. I also loved the "blockchain good but Bitcoin bad" FUD while it lasted, that one was fun.

I get that poorly designed non-native password managers introduce extra attack surface, but to conclude that no non-native ones should be used is absolutist, lazy thinking that doesn't seem rooted in reality at all. As other commenters have stated, password managers solve the password reuse problem. More crucially IMO, they solve the password reuse problem /for organizations/ -- the importance of this cant be understated.

The content script attack surface issues simply matter less than the giant gaping hole from password reuse combined with spear-phishing and breaches. Anything that makes it easier for the wetware at scale to do the more secure thing is going to increase overall org security by a step function and is a valuable layer. That it's not infallible shouldn't mean it should be discarded.

Frankly, I find this article irresponsible. Imagine some organization follows the advice here and actually weakens their overall security posture by following its advice. That would be unfortunate.
Is there an implementation in this article?
You need to be very careful about a label like "negative person".

I have been accused of being a negative person before. We had some tracking web application which had an editor which took very long to load on the web page and made it painful to enter new data. I was in a meeting and said plainly that the editor component "sucked". I was chastised by the manager for being negative.

Meanwhile as soon as I got out of the meeting, I googled it and found that there was an option to disable the graphical editor, which we did. Because it sucked (was unacceptably slow).

For many people, simply pointing out a problem is "negativity". Part of the reason it's like that is that many people have little to no problem solving skills or experience. So describing a problem is just noise, since there is nothing they can usually do to resolve problems.

Whereas someone who has a lot of experience solving problems knows that the first step to solving problems is to acknowledge that they exist.

True story:

My mother in law went into cardiac arrest hours after her second shot, on May 21st. It was a rare, adverse event. (The vaccine is a net positive, and is safe for vast majority of people)

We eventually had to take her off life support on Tuesday. The medical team concluded it was likely caused by the vaccine, and reported it in the VAERS system.

My sister-in-law tried to talk about it in Facebook, and was threatened with account termination, a day after her mother died.

Censorship sucks, even when benevolent.
Recently I had my desktop freeze, where it stopped accepting any inputs including ACPI poweroff.
This time I wondered what is it that causes freezes like this?

Is it RAM bitflips, cosmic rays or other things causing a CPU to malfunction, like here, or is there a more mundane explanation for most freezes?
Except that…none of those are incorrect?

I assume an undetectable error would be one that cannot be detected except by running the computation again and comparing the results, as opposed to a simple check like a checksum. Or maybe it’s e.g. an error that flips 2 bits, with a 1 bit parity check.

Listing other problems with Bitcoin isn’t a good argument to disprove a proposed problem with Bitcoin.
Was this not already understood by the 1980s? At least in IBM? Hence why mainframes are so expensive and why almost every big bank still pays those megabucks. In an industry where a single error at just the wrong place could destroy a multi trillion dollar organization overnight, people are usually more perceptive of even the remotest possibilities.
Probably just nostalgia but man those icons remind me of how fun the internet and computing seemed in the mid late 90’s. Nowadays everything Seems sterile

Hmm… what do you mean by faster? I guess you must mean something more nuanced than big-O. From a big-O perspective, sorting is typically O(n log n), but any algorithm that outputs n^2 values must take at least O(n^2) time, so adding O(n log n) makes no difference.

> You don’t need pro equipment. The camera and microphone in your laptop are sufficient.

I disagree with this. Yes, the built in might be enough to be understandable, but during an interview you want every advantage possible. Personally I think shifting from built in microphones to earbuds should be the bare minimum for audio quality, as this helps reject background noise.

For cameras, positioning is more important than quality. Yes, a separate webcam is drastically sharper than a built in one, but more importantly it can be placed at a much higher height than your laptop screen. This prevents the “I can see up your nose” issue.
Now some replies.

Turnip: you're the one that's toxic, likes to go on Goodreads spread your little hate. Come on here, hate me standing against bullies. That's makes you toxic, supporting the toxic. I'm standing against the toxic, that's makes me awesome and good. Not like you, you're toxic. And I'm like the antidote to toxic that's why you think I'm toxic cuz you are toxic. Btw I didn't go through your history past two pages even then it wasn't worth reading it's just what I sense about you. You can talk big but I know my words are effective and I know they hit home and now you got to live with that. Karma for your comments. Maybe you'll learn those consequences and act better in future. Thanks for your cooperation and for joining in here, you really helped me do one thing I'm meant to do: stand against the toxic, like you.

I just hope Bangladesh is still habitable in 20 years.

Well before it is inundated by rising seas, rising temperatures (in the hottest times of year) and high humidity can make it impossible for humans to sweat enough to maintain a livable body temperature, even sitting still in the shade.

This will be a problem in other areas, particularly Sub-Saharan west Africa, much of Central America, and in and around Indonesia. Hundreds of millions of people live in those areas now. They will not sit down and die; they will try to move to where they can live, but there are borders in the way, and people blocking those borders.

It has already started.
I love this video of Kare giving an introduction to the Mac interface on "Computer Chronicles" back in 1984 [1]. At first it seems quaint to see how slowly and carefully she explains what we now consider to be basic UI features. But then you realize that for many people in the world, a desktop computer is just as strange and confusing to them now as it was to most people back then. I think some of us (me included) would do well to keep this video in mind when explaining technology to non-technical people.

Even if there was no technical knowledge to be learned from (which there is), the social governance model is good to keep an eye out for. Some innovations come from social relations and rethinkings - I'm glad the Rust community is pushing the envelope in the way that they are and I wish for their experiment to keep on growing.
Yep. I think of computational languages for stats or numerical work like (R, Python, Matlab, Mathematica, Fortran...etc), and systems languages like (C, C++, D, Rust).

I don't see a lot of crossover there. One is expected to be very interactive for analysis and the other not interactive at all and for building infrastructure more or less.

C++ and C (somewhat of an exception here) have some good numerical libraries for things like sparse matrices, but Rust did not have mature libraries for that last time I checked, but I suppose you could do some FFI stuff.
I don't know about average web pages, but websites that I use regularly are loading quite fast. 3G in my village is something around 10 Mbits/s, youtube is absolutely fine, for example.

According to the article, someone donated "six-figure" amounts of Bitcoin to the town each year on the condition that they learn how to use Bitcoin:

> Beneficiaries of the digital currency had to learn how to use the Bitcoin itself, creating a Bitcoin economy.

If you give a relatively poor town the option to take free money as long as they learn how to use Bitcoin, of course they're going to learn how to use Bitcoin.

The real test is whether Bitcoin makes sense in an otherwise functioning economy where people aren't given free Bitcoin and they have the option to use a credit card that comes with a lot of consumer protections and zero (or even negative) fees.
Normally I wouldn't submit something like this. But there seems to be dramatic overreach by social media platforms of late, putting free speech in peril.
Suppose you protect a piece of data with a checksum. The data gets corrupted and the checksum no longer matches. That's a detectable error. But if you're unlucky, the checksum of the corrupted data matches the original checksum. That's an undetectable error.

Here's what you do. You start off by showing people papers like this https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c... which say "users are 1.5 times more likely to choose the fast engine". That's how you get resources to do the 10x optimization. But doing the optimization isn't enough, if you can't tie the results into something people care about. To do that, you're already paying the price for Google Analytics telemetry. You can use its API to A/B test the slow vs. fast version of your website for conversions or whatever behavior you're trying to optimize.

People fall in love with stuff that goes fast in unpredictable ways. Be prepared for that. Sometimes it helps to just walk around the office and watch people using your website, to get a basic idea of how they feel about it and how they're engaging. For instance you might discover they're constantly alt-tabbing to some blog while they're waiting for pages to load. In that case you can quantify a productivity impact across everyone who's using the website that likely far exceeds your own salary. Then the people who didn't care might start paying attention. All you had to do was make a web page less sluggish.
