This is the "technical meaning" of "undefined behaviour" according to Wikipedia:

> Undefined behavior (UB) is the result of executing a program whose behavior is prescribed to be unpredictable, in the language specification to which the computer code adheres.

Can we predict the behavior of a Java program with a data race?
I don't think it's counter culture, at all (or attempting to be). They were selling Lil Nas X shoes, which is basically peak mainstream culture.
Certainly, internal economic efficiency was also an important factor. Lenin rapidly realized that central planning is an incredibly difficult task and that allowing markets allows for more efficiency. However, Stalin disagreed as he wanted faster heavy industry development than markets would allow.
Agree. It’s way easier to write a function from scratch than to read/evaluate/fix whatever snippet Copilot throws at me. Replace Copilot with “junior engineer” or “senior engineer that knows more than me” and the result is the same (the junior engineer will probably introduce couple of subtle bugs that are hard to find; the senior engineer would write code in such a way that my mediocre brain won’t understand).

Yes. And strangely, that's what the crown's report said.

I just want to chime in and say I absolutely love the README. It's awesome when open source projects are so detailed that I end up learning so much just from their descriptions.
Try drawing a picture of a forest on a moonless night. It is very difficult to portray how we see things when our eyes are at the limits of their abilities. For instance, our peripheral vision can see better in dim light than our focused vision, causing us to see things in the corner of our eye that disappear when we look strait at them. Try simulating that effect in a photograph. Perception of color also changes over time. If you sit in a cave with a fire (mostly red/yellow) after several hours you will start seeing color differently. Something that looks yellow on a computer screen (lots of blue/green) may be perceived as white after hours bathed in the red/yellow of firelight.

These are areas where painters are better than photographers. Nobody can make a good photograph of a dark forest and all the effects that entails. But a painter with a brush can communicate through artistic trickery.
Before Castro took over, almost half of all agricultural land in Cuba was owned by US businesses.

The agricultural workers almost all lived in shacks without power or plumbing.

There's a reason Castro was so popular at the time.

In exchange, Castro offered long term bonds, but I don't think anyone accepted.
People will die today because a driver was drunk/distracted/suicidal/rode raged or had a medical problem.

Are you OK with that or do you think we should attempt to fix that with software? If you do think you should attempt to fix that, do you understand that software engineering is a iterative process? It gets safer overtime.
But if you use dirty money to buy a good, it doesn't magically turn into clean money. A possible scenario could be where the buyer has clean money and wants to pay the seller for services by bidding way too much for a rare game. It doesn't make too much sense though because now your transaction is under scrutiny by the entire world?
Maybe helpful to note that the phrase "Class 1 Explosive" isn't denoting a certain type, or power of "Explosive". "Class 1" in Hazmat is all explosives. Class 2 is Gases. Class 3 is Flammable or Combustible liquid, and so on.
I wonder this too - I know that I learn much more rapidly and the knowledge "sticks" when I handwrite notes but just anecdotally, I feel like the effect is "lessened" when I handwrite digital notes.
Something like CalTopo or GaiaGPS will let you see a print version of Canada's national topographical maps for the area - for example Road River doesn't show up on any other map for me. It gives some clues on how you might get around the area, but I think you're right about the plane or hiking - the closest road is the Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk Highway, which is completely on the wrong side of the Richardson Mountains from Road River/Peel River, so it would be difficult to access. Fun to think about for sure.
Maybe it does and it is trying to put itself out of its misery?

You might want to get some feedback on ads before posting them. Some of the advice you got seems reasonable.
Personally, if I had to make an ad for a similar product, I might try to get a good picture of the software graphing something, with a concise, title-like summary of what it does.

Miscellaneous opinions:

1. The ad started with "[safe] money". I imagine most people would instantly disregard it as a scam and not bother reading further.

2. The ad references crypto. While crypto can be awesome, it's also great for scammers and the like. So if your ad is already at-risk for looking scam-y, stressing an association with a safe-haven for scammers might not do any favors.

3. The ad has a sentence start with "Tracking", then a line-break. People who want privacy generally don't want to be tracked, so that might be a poor happenstance.

4. It's not immediately clear how the app is end-to-end encrypted. That claim usually makes more sense if it's like a messaging-service, where end-to-end crypto implies security against the server. But if clients are just contacting the server, then "end-to-end" would seem misleading.

5. The ad said "100% open source". Unlike most of the stuff in it, that part does inspire more confidence. So much so that, personally, I might lead with it before even saying what the product is, or else immediately afterward.
Yes, companies should be banned for scammy-looking ad design.

It's not the job of an ad service to go "well, you look really scammy, but digging deeper it turns out you might be OK, so go ahead". Scammy ads make advertising worse for everyone, even if they just look scammy. That's leaving aside that "looks scammy" is a reasonable signal for "is scammy".

I'm in the "all ads are bad" camp, but I can also observe that scammy ads contribute to more widespread perceptions of ads being bad, even among people who might otherwise intentionally click on some ads.

The fundamental reason why 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) burns fat is surprisingly complicated. Basically, it intoxicates mitochondria in your cells being their power houses. These organelles create ATP, a universal metabolic energy carrier, by maintaining a proton gradient across its membrane. By means of chemical osmosis this gradient is what drives the ATP synthase enzyme under normal conditions. Now, DNP is capable of shuttling protons along the gradient and short-circuits this process catalyzing the conversion of fatty acids into worthless heat.

Interestingly, babies use a controlled variant of this mechanism to help maintain their body temperature thanks to their brown fat tissue. It makes babies look cute and keep warm. :)
The sanction are in place because of the US's long time hatred of the Cuba government. We're still mad about the 1959 land reforms.
As I said repeatedly, I'm reading the law as it is written, agreeing strongly with the dissenting judge's opinion in this case. I work in medical device manufacturing, and everyone I know in the field considers devices to be usage specific - that's how they're designed and that's how they're regulated. The FDA has only ever banned 3 devices, and all of them have been banned only for specific use cases.

You seem to be mistaking the argument as saying the FDA has authority to regulate the practice of medicine. No one is saying that. I am saying that the FDA has the authority to ban a device, and that the device's use is a part of it, a point you say you agree with.

At issue here is the definition of legally marketed device. If you hold that an ESD for smoking is the same device as an ESD for self injury, then the legal availability of the former means that the latter is also legally available, and thus physicians may use it. However, my argument, which is also the FDA's argument, is that these are clearly two separate devices. They're not buying an ESD for smoking and using it off-label to treat self injury, they are making a custom device with a different control scheme to do a different task.

If these are two distinct devices, the FDA unambiguously has the authority to ban one of them. And if it is banned, it is not a legally marketed device available for off-label use.

Both common sense and precedent indicate devices with different intended uses are different devices which ought to be regulated differently. Paraphrasing from the FDA's ban: the reason that this device needed to be banned in the first place instead of just modifying the label is that the source of the risk is the labelled use, not an off-label use that would be covered by the exemption. Off-label use of a different type of ESD device is fine, but on-label use of this type is not.

I’ll offer a potential explanation - they may have had outbreaks specifically around high effort fitness spinning classes but they wish to keep the gyms open for older people and people with disabilities for whom it’s their only exercise. It’s cutting quite a line for sure but often there is a very specific context for rules like this - think about all those times when you’ve had to go “what happened for them to have to put this sign up”

I’m a very mediocre developer and if Copilot is any better than me at writing code, then I will have a hard time understanding whatever Copilot throws at me. I cannot just save, commit and push whatever Copilot suggests... so it’s faster if I write the code myself than to review Copilot’s code.
Most government agencies fail to fulfill the stated reasons for their creation, yet the agencies endure. For example, the Federal Reserve was created in 1913 to forestall major economic cycles; subsequent depressions and recessions have had no negative impact on them.

A rather surprising number of chemo compounds trace directly to chemical warfare and compounds used during WWI, including several mustard-gas-related compounds.

Some years ago, a close friend died of a relatively rare and aggressive form of cancer. Among my roles was running interference against those who were pitching various miracle cures, with that tired old scam laetril playing a significant role.

In the decades since, I've watched developments in the science and development, as well as traced the history. It turns out that the treatment received a few decades ago was little changed from that of the 1960s, and has progressed little since. Genetic sequencing identified the affected chromosome of the triggering mutation in the 1980s, and we now know the specific codons involved. There remains no cure.

Five year survival remains about 20%. Laetril is still a fraud. And several of the other patients we came to know during the course of my friend's treatment have died since of conditions related to the treatment itself, though yes, they did buy another 10--20 years.

Cancer is brutal.

I will note: "cancer" is a symptom cluster manifested by malignant growth, and virtually always due to genetic mutation within the affected cells (I'd say "always" though I'm not completely sure of that). The specific triggers, and the possibilities for cure, vary tremendously. Some bladder cancers are virtually entirely treatable by, of all things, tuberculosis baccili. Skin cancers if caught early pose little risk. Others are tremendously aggressive, and an online friend's posts progressed from announcing their partner's diagnosis with liver cancer to the partner's death over the course of less than two months.

Broad-brush statements are virtually always false.
I am not surprised the a Class 1 HAZMAT is used as the chemo agent for glioblastoma, the most malignant form of brain tumor. My father in law just recently passed with glioblastoma stage 3, from admitted to hospital to passing in a couple of month.
Ask HN: What are the top pains of being a remote worker?
As more companies allow for remote work, it's good to understand what employees actually want and miss.

As everyone got a taste of working remotely, a lot more attention got brought to these types of questions.

In my case, my biggest pains are:

1) Feeling part of the company and engaging with other employees

2) Having to pay for my own benefits (in my company, I need to get them myself)

3) Getting good wifi depending on where I am

It doesn't really though, and a centralized solution with verifiability is faster, more efficient and a better implementation. Heck, regulation is a better solution. That's how slot machines manage in Vegas. Doesn't mean doing it on the blockchain isn't neat or a fun project, the same way I implemented a GameBoy on an FPGA.
I don't see DHS as a listed agency--which ones would be the most interesting for an average person?

It is very sloppy when you come from say, analysis, where things are precisely defined, especially in more applied statistics.

In my experience, any more applied than probability theory itself and you get omissions of very important details such as the probability space under consideration and the RVs involved in expectations, in addition to frequent inconsistencies and outright abuses of notation. These tendencies make it a harder subject for someone who is used to precise exposition to pick up.

Sure, it can be both at once. But it doesn't have to be.

Let's say I'm in Venezuela, and I'm tired of the "Maduro diet", i.e., borderline starvation. I'll go to Colombia or Brazil, or Guyana. Or I'll go through Colombia to Panama or Peru or Ecuador. Any of the above. I'm leaving Venezuela more than I'm going to somewhere.

In contrast, consider the caravans that show up at the southern US border. They're often from Honduras. But the people in them didn't stop at Guatemala or Belize or Mexico. No, they're coming to the US, not just leaving Honduras.
How condescending do you have to be to attribute any act of dissent from Cubans towards their own government as an act of interference from the USA?

Do Cubans have no agency of their own? No free will? No intelligence to determine for themselves whether their own political system suits them or not?

Do you think that Cubans who don't agree with your political beliefs are too stupid to know better or corrupt and bought?
I don't think that they are assembled in US prisons. Looks more like a typical Chinese assembly, with fully automatic placement machines.
Cuba is closer to rich trading partners (like the EU) than the Australia is to its rich trading partners (like the USA). Each also has poorer trading partners nearby (SE Asian countries and Central American countries respectively).

> Ten years on, was the C++11 memory model (which I've used) a success?

Concurrent/parallel programming in C and C++ before the memory model was an absolute shitshow. You could either

a) scream "YOLO lol" and resort to abusing volatile (and secretly hoping that no one will ever actually execute your code on a CPU with more than one core [1]), or

b) carefully construct synchronization routines in assembly and try to make sure that the single compiler you support doesn't screw you over in its effort to make your program run super-fast (and slightly wrong) [2], or

c) use a library which handles b) for you.

[1] FreeRTOS does this, and it only supports a single core.

[2] Linux did (does?) this.
None of gcc, clang or msvc deallocate the frame or part of the frame in `baz2` before calling `bar` the first time here:

https://godbolt.org/z/rvx36sM74

What I would like to like is something like the generated call of `call_foo1` substituted verbatim into the generated code of `baz1` in the place of the function call. That way at the point of calling `bar` there is much less stack space allocated, minimizing stack usage.

But maybe this would pessimize other things, or for some weird reason is actually incorrect.

gcc at least deallocates the stack before tail-calling `baz`, I don't know if that is "shrink wrapping" or just plain TCO.

I'm glad the author points out that there are aspects to Copilot that are usable. A lot of other critics haven't been so kind.
