I would also add Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, 3rd Edition by Bryant and O'Hallaron and C Programming: A Modern Approach, 2nd Edition by K.N. King, to the list. I'm learning systems programming and theory at the moment as well. Both are venerable seminal works on their subjects for the self guided learner.

If anyone here wants a quality PDF of either, I can make that happen, I digitize textbooks as a hobby. I bought both books new from Amazon and were well worth the price new.

These may be specific to a workflow with git + github, when using git from the command line, but here are the cases I've run into where overriding safeties is needed.

1. After making a PR, there are conflicts when merging into main. In a merge-based workflow, I would merge main into the feature branch, resolve any conflicts, then push. In a rebase-based workflow, I rebase the branch onto main, resolve any conflicts, but now I need to push --force. As some of the other comments have mentioned, this can be improved with --force-with-lease, but still isn't the greatest.

2. After making a PR, there are some typos that need to be fixed. Fix these in an interactive rebase, to edit the same commit that introduced the typos. Also requires either --force or --force-with-lease.

3. When the PR is accepted, the result is rebased on top of main. My local branch still exists, and must be deleted. I would prefer to use `git branch -d` to delete the feature branch, but this rightfully says that the feature branch hasn't been merged in. I instead need to use `git branch -D` to forcefully delete it, introducing a point of human error. (There are some cases where git can delete the branch safely, which I think occurs either when the feature branch has only a single commit, or when the feature branch can be applied on top of main without a rebase, but I haven't exactly determined it.)

#1 and #3 are cases where a safer option cannot be used due to a rebase-workflow. #2 would exist in either case, since even in a merge workflow, rebasing of branches before they are pulled makes sense to do.
As I read it: it's a kernel UAF; memory corruption, in the context of the kernel. There's a secondary attack vector related to the refcount mishandling, where you can obtain control of file table entries after an `execve`, even if you exec a SUID, which is also bad.
Current engineer at Amazon. Maybe a particular bad manager is doing this, but there's no institutional mechanism where management or executives literally count people's commits.

Worst case, you're on a team who's late on deadlines and you have 0 commits in the past several months. Yeah, there are going to be questions about where people's time is being spent and are those the right priorities. Aside from that, people aren't comparing commit counts to stack employees. The simplest reason is – it's much more expensive to let go someone and re-hire and train another engineer. You won't hear about that on any of these news stories because it's not so attention grabbing or interesting.

Amazon for sure can do better in many areas. No denying that.

But keep in mind we have a massive workforce of engineers. If 1% of them are unhappy, and even 5% of those unhappy people are willing to post about it on Reddit, Hacker News, Leetcode, or where ever, you're going to feel like every person at Amazon basically hates their job.

And the other thing is the people who do respond with positive experiences don't get the "upvotes" and get their experiences pushed to the top of the discussion. They often get down ranked and personally attacked.

Lastly – No one is counting lines of code. This is actually a pretty absurd claim, and I can't say it's NEVER happened, but anyone doing that is a wrong hire. Less code is generally better. There are no brownie points for more code or more complexity. Amazon's leadership principals encourage frugality and invent and simplify.
It is very different. A specific subsidy/promotion is very different from a broad punitive tax.

I've a lot of friends who are professional DJs and musicologists/music historians. The reality is that most people will listen whatever is a hit on the radio, TV, or Spotify, which means that any underground cultural scene that wants to make it big has to appeal to the big US/UK/EU markets.

If you want a thriving local music scene that doesn't just copy whatever gets played in London/Berlin/LA you have to do these sorts of things.
I spent my first five years in Rochester. Xerox was very big back then. Then I returned to complete my degree at RIT. There was a Bausch and Lomb building on campus and another named after Kodak. Imaging and vision were very big.

And two of my co-op assignments were with IBM. With the Federal Sector Division in Owego and one of the labs in Endicott.

It's actually just a bit over a 2 hour drive from Owego to RIT.

I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs sometimes had that long of a commute between Pixar and Apple, given the traffic we have here.
Is this payback for the crypto Ponzi scheme posts?

OK, asset appreciation without value creation is a Ponzi scheme. Let's stop rehashing, and move on to novel discussion angles.
You can use "var", but it does not have proper block scoping; usually proper block scoping would be wanted, so use "let" instead, or "const" if you do not need to reassign the value later (I don't know whether or not any implementations can optimize based on that).
It's more than that. The fee to request the IPR is $19,000, plus $375 for each claim in excess of 20. If the USPTO decides to institute the IPR, the post-institution fee is $22,500, plus $750 for each claim in excess of 20. [0] Attorney's fees will be far more than these amounts.

Amazon Snaps Up Option to Buy Stake in AI Truck-Driving Startup
After the number of deaths and the complete turn around thanks to vaccines it’s not giving the benefit of the doubt, it’s just common sense. Yes we should all be skeptical of big pharma but it doesn’t mean we should throw out the baby with the bathwater and discount the amazing medical advances coming out the research happening either.
changing `-f/--force` to act like `--force-with-lease` would have no effect on that flow whatsoever. What it would prevent is you accidentally overwriting something on the remote because you didn't know its current state, potentially silently backing out changes someone else (or perhaps you yourself on another machine) had pushed.

All it does is add this simple check before actually pushing:

if (remote_ref("blah") != local_ref("remote/blah"))
fail();

Most of the time it doesn't matter, and for most people's uses of --force it would have no effect (because most people are just pushing to a branch they're the only one pushing to). But every now and then it helps a lot to avoid losing data.
And you can build special roads that only your model of cars can drive on, with your model of cpu brains. And maybe get some government grants to build it all.
Wow that demo has it all.

- car stalled in it's lane
- complicated intersections
- people exiting cars in it's lane
- car going over into it's lane

If I had an hour of driving that I'd be stressed.
I think they mean to drive an external 4k.
From This Week in Virology episode 595:

"...having covered a number of food safety conferences and stories, if you talk to people who study and work in food safety professionally, every single one of them I've talked to, if you ask them "Is there a food that you just won't eat, for food safety reasons?" the answer is raw sprouts.

"Just don't eat raw sprouts. You can cook them, but don't eat them raw. They are impossible to sanitize and their production process is just a culture dish. Forget it."

It will pay a small wage to a few artists which makes all the difference for small local scenes.

Cultural promotion by local governments _work_. Artists can do amazing things when they don't have to ask their parents for money or depend on a shitty day job.
Your comment proves my point, which is that smart and savvy HNers simply do not understand (and maybe don't care) about companies like Spotify and Facebook misrepresenting their proprietary audio platforms as "podcasting" in their efforts to kneecap and devalue standards-based media distribution. That makes me sad.

Apple Podcasts is a real podcast app. You can open any standard podcast feed in the app and manage it like any other podcast. When you play a podcast, it plays the media as distributed by its creator(s). And when you do, the creators get the data.

As you indirectly note, Apple is mostly responsible for the childhood and adolescent growth of podcasting as an open medium. If they do abandon real podcasting in favor of a proprietary-only, audio-only platform like the ones you're apparently rooting for, I'd guess that they'll be the last to go down.
you can't possibly compare Manjaro to Windows.

Manjaro is a rolling release distribution!! What do you think will happen under this model? It's the same issues as Arch and Gentoo.

Consider Debian instead, where upgrading is always viable but doesn't just happen randomly. My current Debian install dates back to _etch_ when it was frozen to hit stable. Years later I'm on testing for bullseye, on newer hardware, and everything is fine. Never any issues upgrading from stable to stable, only went to testing because I started needing newer libs for my GPU.
My issue with these types of things is always the same. Awesome it does all this stuff I love it, I use it everywhere.

Dev: I have decided to stop working on this project thanks for all the support. If anyone wants to take ownership of it I am willing to transfer its ownership. (Crickets)

Me now after using it for a couple of years have to go back to standard bash or whatever and now people think I have no idea what I'm doing since I forgot so much stuff from lack of daily use.
Try using common sense to figure out what he meant by that.
Voidtools is well known and really good.

I've been using them for years now.
Key word there being "performance". Lie.
I think their claim that installing Linux would void hardware warranty would be illegal in the EU. That seems insane to me.
Couldn't we use smart kites that would fly around hooking up to your car as sails whenever there's a lot of wind in an area with open skies? Get towed, charge a bit and/or save battery. The car automatically sends some fee payment as a thanks.

Requires a lot of smart infrastructure that we don't have but it seems like one of those things that should be doable once we've figured out autonomous driving...
Yes, local governments want to preserve local culture instead of everything becoming a global suburbia of American pop culture. The horror.
I’m going to ignore the first sentence since it’s just snark, but in response to your second: if there’s a problem that needs to be addressed, surely the first step is acknowledging its existence?
Your comment prompted me to think basic income should supplement the difference between your salary and some acceptable wage for the locale -- specifically addressing housing, medical, and food. This would encourage people to have a job, even a "bad" one, and hopefully assuage the "free money" detractors.

I'm mostly scared they'll try to implement a home run solution, screw it up, and then retard society for the near future.
> so it seems to me there’s value in making some vehicles still contain radar (say, one out of 10) even if it’s not used for controlling the vehicle directly at drive time.

That's not how neural networks work. You start by training them with a radar, then you deploy them without the radar. Neural nets make the radar irrelevant post-training. This is the entire point of Karpathy's pitch.
Depends on the purpose the use of the VHS. Copying something you brought home from Blockbuster would definitely qualify. Recording something off of TV to watch at a later more convenient time was just the precursor to DVR.

The image file you downloaded from someone's website without their permission in miles better in quality than the stupid VHS. It's more like the DVD/Blu-ray you ripped from your buddy that actually paid for it. Just because you can doesn't mean you should
Do we have to believe in gay? What do we call the people who date redheads? (And why not celebrate that instead)
PIP means different things at different companies. It's true that some companies really just use PIPs as a documentation period to build a case to fire people.

A lot of managers and companies I know have moved away from the "PIP" terminology because the acronym has become too toxic to be productive. Instead, they'll have different names for their version of the program.

With few exceptions, managers don't enjoy firing people. We don't enjoy PIPing people, either. A good PIP (or whatever a company calls it) is usually structured as a mentorship program that lays out clear expectations for what is expected from an employee, pairs them up with mentors who can help get them there, and involves more frequent check-ins than normal to help get them on track.

As a manager, I have seen many PIPs succeed, if executed properly. I've also seen many fail. One of the common failure modes is when the employee assumes the worst and doesn't bother trying to improve. That's one of the main reasons smart companies don't use the "PIP" terminology any more.
I dunno, the Quebec je ne sais qoi and the small minded right-wing/populist Quebec nationalists often don’t seem to share the same culture.

On the other hand it would be nice to count in that the iron ore gains value when it's moved from inside the mine to the port.
Just curious, what hyper growth companies (with public stock) exist in the Bay Area that don't also have offices in Seattle?
Tesla's decision not to use the LIDAR as a safety feature (i.e. having reliable high-resolution data about things the car can collide with) is so incredibly indefensible, since solving the last 1% of this using only vision likely requires a general artificial intelligence

Prediction: Tesla will be the last of all major auto manufacturers to get to L5 autonomy. Time interval between when Tesla L5 FSD is finally available and when humanity is destroyed by the general AI it runs on will be very awesome and also very short
Overhead lines are probably the simplest and cheapest option, but the downside is that you're basically limited to trucks only due to the cable height, unless you also have a passenger car-only lane with lower cables.

There's a test in Sweden that uses power rails embedded under the road surface. I like that approach because it's more versatile and looks better, but on the other hand it's also more expensive.
I doubt you can just move out of North Korea, especially if your significant other or close relative has just defected.
spark is far more testable and composable than sql! and you even get static typing checking. plus i can read data from anywhere - local fs, s3, rdbms, json, parquet, csv... rdbms could not compete
What about monthly?
You can get this sort of benefit with a gas car with a manual transmission too. Engine braking uses no gas, its just your wheels turning your pistons and the friction from all of that slows the car down. Most of the time I only hit the brakes to go from 5mph-0mph in a manual car thanks to this.
Can you point to actual videos showing this, not just short out of context excerpts? Because I keep hearing this argument and every time I’ve looked I see a guy who has a speech impediment, but is otherwise quite sharp.
Just looking at the presidential debates in their totality just showed for his age he was quite in command. The guy stutters yes but that doesn’t make him senile.
Gen 9 can now come with 32 GB, at least in the UK.
Hah, they should integrate the bike into the car and make the modern Flintstones car.
They’re betting that they can use a massive feedback loop to train a set of neural networks to the point where they are as accurate as LiDAR without actually firing any lasers.

Even if you believe this goal is possible to achieve at some point in the future, I think the argument falls apart when you consider that it will take years, probably decades, for a pure vision approach to catch up to where Waymo is today in terms of safety. (They have cameras too.)

That Tesla can’t afford to fit expensive LiDAR sensors to all of the cars it sells is Tesla’s problem. Regulators won’t give a shit that pure vision is “better” in theory. They will simply compare Tesla’s crash rate in autonomous mode with that of Waymo and other AV operators, and act accordingly.
simple but insightful... never thought of it this way!
It's a word we need to stop using. Along with "Flexing".

I had this one English teacher who squashed any interest in writing after I took his class. He was known as Red because that's what color our papers were when he was finished grading them.

He did say a few thing that felt right. One was just don't use cliches. The other was don't use slang.
I worry most that policies like this will further the populist nationalist thinking, dividing people in us (white francophones of French colonial descent) and them (everybody else).

I have many ideas, ranging from simple to extremely complex (some of which would require an entirely new platform).

A few examples (if ever implementing such things, I would do it in an "experimental mode" that can be enabled for specific threads):

- offer more options than simply upvoting & downvoting, perhaps something like a list of tags (epistemically unsound, speculative, smart, insightful, outside-the-box thinking, etc)

- When downvoting a user, offer/force the downvoter to provide a reason from a list (which could be voted on by others who agree/disagree), perhaps with the additional ability to provide specific reasoning. Some benefits of this might be for the downvoted user to actually have some insight into why they are being downvoted, it may make the downvoter put a little more effort into considering why they are downvoting, and it would provide additional metadata on conversations which could be used for a variety of things.

- Some sort "cultural mode" for threads of certain kinds, which might include things like "epistemic strictness". So for example, for culture war (politics) threads, it might be interesting to set Epistemic Strictness = High, meaning certain common behaviors would be forbidden, such as asserting imaginary beliefs as facts (mind reading, future reading, etc). Or, the same idea could be run under two threads, with opposite ends of the spectrum of a specific dimension...so if we were discussing the viability of nuclear power, one might have one thread for "extreme optimism" (the goal being to collect as large as possible set of why it is plausibly a good idea), and its counterpart could be "extreme pessimism" (why it is plausibly not a good idea).

Of course, some of these are better/easier than others, all of them are debateable from a cost/benefit/risk perspective, opinions would vary (a HN meta-thread seems like a fine approach for that...or as a general idea), etc.

My basic thinking is this: HN is an influential site, populated by intelligent and influential people, and the world has a lot of complex problems going on simultaneously (some people even think some of these problems are in the existential threat to humanity category). Considering this, is it possible that the HN Hivemind (a massive cluster of knowledge and skilled biological compute) produce some valuable new for humanity (new ideas, new ways of thinking, etc) if this cluster was orchestrated in a more optimal manner?

And of course: this is not your job. It is no one's job. And if hard jobs with no plausible economic return are not assigned to someone, they often do not get done, and humanity eventually suffers the consequences (with or without realizing why).
It uses the MIT license, and the git repo is here:

https://github.com/magwo/elevatorsaga

along with some pull requests which might fix those problems.

On the repo it says:

"For developers/contributors: This project is not actively maintained. The repo is used to serve github pages so I would like to keep it as is. Feel free to fork and host your own versions of Elevator Saga! But I would like to keep the domain name with the original version of the game."

I am sure someone on here has the chops to set up a clone of it.
Thinkpads have always been good. I even have a T480s upgraded to a 4K screen (not my work) that works fine.

That sounds quite clever! Another potential for low cost infrastructure in remote places.
The interactive version works not because the verifier is making the queries, but because the prover is not. The intuition behind making an interactive protocol non-interactive is use unbiasable queries that can be predicted ahead of time used hashes for pseudo-randomness.

You can request for Gitlab to delete your usage ping data through https://support.gitlab.io/usage-ping-request/.
You know, I don’t think there exists a good book on the subject of systems programming in the sense of building robust concurrent software. There is so much information you gain by experience, and it just hasn’t been put together in one place, if written down at all.
Going up/down at 20 MPH and going flat at 80 MPH might be this scenario. If the velocity difference is big enough, wind resistance will have a bigger impact on range than the thermodynamic inefficiency of regen braking.
I appreciate these mini-articles for vim. It's very easy to use specific commands so often that you forget about otheres that are really convenient when you need them on occasion.

For the longest time I was hand-editing my code snippets to be colourized in html, and then one day someone here posted an article that mentioned TOhtml. I was kicking myself because I had it installed and completely forgot.
Keep hearing about “walled garden” as though it’s a bad thing — Archibald Craven doesn’t want Mary to play?

The word “garden” suggests bespoke curation for appreciation and abundance, while “walled” suggests within this boundary the experience is purposefully tended and safe.

The Japanese put them in the middle of their homes. The British write children’s literature set in them. Just look — the very idea of a walled garden is lovely:
