This doesn't make rational sense.

Investments aren't financed by customers, they're financed by investors.

I reckon in today's money-printing world it's easy to get even $1bn if you can credibly say to the investors that you can charge each customer 90% of the full investment (hell, even for 10% it's still a great business!)
Dreadful.

9 YEARS IN A ROW of its mission and yet 0% is the figure they report in the software engineering category and they still chant this 'diversity' in software engineering? Absolutely not good enough.

If you want to promote change to others, it always starts with yourself. Do better.

Downvoters: Care to reason why I'm downvoted? Or is it that you cannot accept or reason about this strong statistic because it is true? It looks like the software engineering diversity leftists have forgotten about this one. So they cover this failed project under the carpet and pretend it has succeeded in its 'diversity' efforts in software engineering.

This is why one commenter here dismissed it as if they don't care because they know it has failed in that area. On to the next one I guess.

A complete abject failure. 'Diversity' in software engineering at this point means nothing if 0% is what you report in 9 YEARS and still no 'minorities' in software engineering roles at Code.org.

What a joke.

Oh phooey. I never prepared for the SATs, and nobody I knew did, either. (Back in the 70s.)

Wanna know how to do well on the SATs? Pay attention in school to readin, ritin, and rithmetic.

As for SAT prep books, I see them all the time in the thrift store for a couple bucks. The notion that only the wealthy have access to them is nonsense.

"critical thinking" is what I think parents should teach to their kids. By that I mean giving cases of deception, gaslighting, etc. and asking the kid to discern the lie and the intent of the lie. I don't think schools teach this skill these days.
Yeah that should be really fast, still. Programs could also opt to just tell the OS "hey don't check this system call from me", on each system call, avoiding any lookup.

The impact of TLB flushing, not just the cost of the flush, is really significant - it's going to take a lot of work to be as expensive within the syscall path.
I like it as well. I typically have only a handful of tabs open, for both mental clarity and focus.

There's so much empty space on the address bar, and vertical space is typically expensive real estate.

I went to a tiny mixed age school and basically each kid worked on workbooks at their own pace.

The older kids helped out the younger ones and the teacher walked around the class and talked to each kid to help them along with thier work if they got stuck.

There wasn’t any lecture style teaching with the teacher explaining concepts to the whole class at once.

We all worked on one subject at a time, but we were all at different points in it.

When my family moved and I left that school I was multiple years ahead of where I was supposed to be in several subjects and normal school was very boring after that.

> Preemption is costly, because you need to save the entire state of the execution you're preempting, in order to restore it later (which is also, as you should know, what makes context-switches slow).

In-userspace stackful context switches are not at all slow in a sane userspace-switching runtime. They are approximately a combination of setjmp() and longjmp(), but without saving all registers. Typically a few tens of nanoseconds or less on a modern CPU. Pre-emptive context switches are nearly always stackful, even if non-pre-emptive (async) context switches are stackless in the same runtime.

A pre-emptive context switch in a userspace co-operative scheduling system is slower than non-pre-emptive context switch if it is caused by a dedicated interrupt of some kind. In the case of userspace pre-emption, generally a signal and return, typically single digit microseconds.

However, the cost there is mainly the signal. If the pre-emptive context switch is caused by a signal that triggered anyway for another purpose, the actual context switch is, again, cheap.

In the model I described (the game environment), pre-emptive context switches are rare. It wouldn't matter if they took longer, because >= 99.99% of context switches are co-operative in that model. The important factor is that no task blows the frame budget or prevents other tasks from running at the full frame rate. In web services a similar target is tail latency, in the presence of diverse tasks you cannot predict in advance.

> meaning you can choose what works best for your workload.

Exactly. And as I've tried to explain, for some varying, complex workloads whatever you choose statically has poor metrics; it must be adaptive to maintain good timing metrics.

> Rust yield point are manually inserted by the developer

Indeed, and in the case of NPCs in a game engine, or a large program composed of many libraries written by hundreds of different authors (e.g. some web servers), that causes complex, interdependent performance characteristics, where timing behaviour in one of them ruins performance for everything, unless they are isolated using threads, in which case it's too slow. There is no "the developer" who can ensure this doesn't happen.

(Aside, if Rust's type system helped with this, that would be great, the same way types help with other "programming in the large" safety issues, but it doesn't address timing characteristics as far as I know.)

> leading to the best performance [..] Rust has both Async tasks and OS threads, meaning you can choose what works best for your workload.

You could summarise my point as: "For some dynamic workloads, especially in timing-sensitive large programs with many components working independently and unpredictably, neither async tasks or OS threads perform best for your workload (or even adequately sometimes). The optimal (or required) combination requires some dynamic responses, and cannot be achieved solely by static placement of yield points and thread initiations."
I started to rebut specific errors in this in more detail and got tired, but this reads like something written by someone who talked to someone knowledgeable a week earlier, took nhad no knowledge of programming, much less python, to contextualize the conversation, and the tried to writre an authoritative article based on fuzzy, fading memory and interpolation. While intoxicated.

It kind of approaches recognizable real issues, but with most of the details misstated on every point. Python can change bindings in outer scope, statement/expression distinctions are common in languages (but Python’s limited anonymous functions make them more acute in that context in Python), contrary to the contrast the article attempts to draw, JavaScript—like Python—was not designed for mobile and Python—like JavaScript—has frameworks that were. The article also jumbles issues related to static typing, compilation, and performance (and given the existence of—incomplete but evolving—static typecheckers and performance-boosting native code compilers for python, also treats them as more fundamental and immutable than they are.)

> In 7th grade, in the fall you are taught X, so if you miss it the only solution is to take it next time

In my experience in elementary school, 3rd grade material is repeated ad nauseum in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade. Plenty of time to get it. (Being an Air Force brat, I attended 3 different elementary schools, even one in Germany run by the military. All the same.)
GPA should be a result of mastering the material. Assuming that is roughly the case, if you ever go on to use any of the skills you were supposed to learn in school (math, computing, etc) you are asking if having learned those skills would help you perform those skills?

I doubt there will ever be a way to satisfactorily control for other variables when it comes to these sorts of real-life studies (there is a reason the majority of social science isn't reproducible[1])

Sure, but for the bottom bit, 64-bit addressing doesn't come into it. If you only want to steal bits at the bottom and have pointers with greater than single byte alignment this worked just fine on a 32-bit CPU already.

I was reacting to the claim that this mitigates the overhead (larger pointer size) of 64-bit addressing. You can steal bits at the top but it's probably a bad idea.
Some people are inherently unhappy but also keep an eye out for unhappiness caused by misalignment, misunderstanding, or disengagement relating to feelings of disempowerment.

Compensation is important up to a point but nobody likes feeling like they are wasting their time and powerless to make positive change.

> No one likes to do Oncall or operational or migration work or deal with mess left by earlier group.

No one likes doing these things if they don't see the point, if there's no buy-in and the work is just a directive from above, if everybody feels like they are treading water and not making any progress, etc...

There are too many possible contributing factors to list them all but most solutions involve listening, communicating, and making small changes that compound over time.

Build teams that: make progress, understand why their work is important, have meaningful feedback loops.

Do we have any data on the correlation between high-school admission criteria and inventing the Covid vaccine or whatever?

We are not talking about taking advantage of excellence, which starts to become visible after highschool. We are talking about 10-year-olds who go to school to be taught the fundamental theorem of arithmetics.

The concern with performance seems a little overwrought. strlcpy is only slow in the bad case where it truncates, which is ideally not the common case. I've never heard or seen of a performance bottleneck traced to a strlcpy in the hot path.

If you really cared about performance, you'd be using nothing but memcpy with careful length tracking. Regardless of algorithmic runtime, any function that examines bytes as it copies will be slower than a length based copy.
I'm not sure I understand the warranty controversy with chia mining. SSD warranties clearly state a period of time of number of bytes written, whichever comes first. Is there an issue of the SSD manufacturers not properly doing their actuaries and trying to pull a fast one on consumers? If so, then chia farming has been a great force of good imo. The market needs checks.

Yes, Licensing boards should get to decide who carries a license, but the customer should decide if they want a licensed engineer.

Customers/employers usually seek professional licensure for as a lazy stopgap against outright fraud for work with poor oversight and high liability. This is why PE's are predominately required for government and civil infrastructure.

For example, It takes a PE to certify a handrail on a municipal bus, while a company could design and sell a neurosurgical robot without a single PE.

In this specific case, if a court and jury don't find a PE license to confer meaningful credibility over someone without, then that seems to be a problem for the licensing board, not the person providing testimony, or the client who hired them.
That sounds histrionic because real property is already taxed in many states, and short of taxing wealth, the government can do many things to devalue your assets.

Putting aside the issue of the current trajectory of increasing inequality and its destabilizing effects on national security, the obsession Americans have with owning things "free and clear" is a reflection of a kind of privilege. The US is blessed with an expansionary economy, stable financial system, strong rule of law, military power, and respect for individual rights. These all form the basis of this belief that private property rights are absolute. They are never absolute, always subject to the goodwill of the social contract and the laws of physics. What good is owning things free and clear when there is a marauding militia outside your Capitol, or your land lost all value because of the environmental damage externalities of the economy?
Of course some kids will get life lessons out of this experience, but they would get lessons from kinds of adversities anyway. I don't see the point. For me it's just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
