"...This 90-pages tutorial introduces the CUDA concepts in an easy-to-grasp and interactive way with ready-to-run code samples tested on Windows and Linux. Starting from scratch, a complete stand-alone GPU tool is implemented which automatically performs a ciphertext-only attack on ciphertexts encrypted by monoalphabetic substitution and columnar transposition. Throughout this process, you will learn how to architect the tool, what optimizations could significantly accelerate the routines, why the choice of an adequate metaheuristic is critical, and how to draw sketches to enlighten the design process..."

Same boat here. Vicente in Spanish so I go by Vincent most of the time (either the english or the French pronounciations, I don't care). Most people see my name in Spanish and pronounce it like it was Italian ("Vinchente", they always add an N). I've never been bothered by it one bit, at least they tried. For the curious, the correct pronounciation is either "Vee-sen-teh" or with the spanish voiceless-dental-fricative θ[1] "Vee-θen-teh".

If you ever bought into this idea that mispronouncing someone's unfamiliar/foreign name is somehow rude or racist or an extension of white supremacy/privilege, you should see how english names and surnames are pronounced in non-english speaking countries. People give it their best shot and fail, that's all there is to it.

> In math there's also a lot more "think deeply and send an email" that happens, rather than things like Hacker News.

That would have been my guess, too. I shared an office for a while with a math professor, and he spent around half of his time in the office writing emails to colleagues.
> I am not taking PC build advice from a person that got their first AMD processor in 2021.

Luckly, nowhere in the article the author was giving anyone advice. He was just documenting his journey to mount his setup and did this beautifully, even if I don't agree with some choices myself.

I believe you completely missed the point of the article, therefore the downvotes (Even if I didnt downvoted you myself).

Scaleway: Incident SSD was stolen during a secure transport between datacenters
That's not a valid comparison. Mobility and transportation is a necessity for a functioning society. Your food doesn't make it onto the table without being transported there. Are you going to fetch the eggs out at the farm on foot? No, seriously, I am asking you a direct question: how are you going to transport food if you are not going to use any cars or trucks anywhere along the process?

Cigarettes are not a necessity for a functioning society.

Stick also doesn't work as well as carrot. You could tax fuel to discourage "unwanted behavior", but it doesn't have the consequences you want. It drives up prices, which affects the population unevenly.

I can afford at least one doubling in fuel price without it affecting me. Perhaps even two. Do you think the guy who has to drive 2 hours to work from the middle of nowhere to work in an Amazon fulfilment center can afford this?

Electric cars becoming a viable option for more people is a positive change. That's how we solve problems: by creating better alternatives. And if they do not emerge easily: help these industries along by providing them tax breaks and help.

I live in a country that has some of the highest gas prices in the world. High taxation of gas did _nothing_ to reduce the use of cars. It might have made the needle shiver a bit, but it didn't move it. I also happen to live in the country that has the most electric cars per capita. Electric has 70% market share among new cars sold. In 20 years, you will not even be able to buy a new gas powered car here.

That's change. That's the all-important break between hydrocarbons and land-based transport. That's the hard part.

This didn't happen due to gas tax or any other disincentives. It _ONLY_ happened by providing a better alternative. By cutting tax on electric cars so the market could reach the critical point where electric is viable. Now that we're there, we can slowly start to roll off the tax cuts as prices on electric vehicles drop.

It is tempting to piss on the things you don't like. But just being against things and not providing viable alternatives is not a plan. It is also not a plan to have vague dreams of things you cannot execute on. (If you think this constitutes a plan, ask the Chinese about "the great leap forward" or the Russians why the Soviet industry didn't become the envy of the world).

It doesn't create any lasting change. Lasting change comes from providing people with better alternatives and the enthusiastic participation of the masses.
I don't think colonialism is special.

I understand English-speaking countries have most experience with colonialism, but there were plenty of other kinds of imperialism and subjugation (and slavery and mass murder). In the end it doesn't matter if the guy enslaving you and killing your family is the same race and lives 500 km from you or a different race and lives 3000 km from you. That was history for thousands of years. Almost all countries started that way.

Slavery is called so because Romans took Slavic people as slaves. Are we supposed not to make games about Roman Empire? And to change the name of a whole linguistic group?

I don't think changing the setting from historic to sci-fi or fantasy suddenly makes exploiting goblins or genociding elves OK. And if Porto Rico is bad then so is Risk and chess (and 99% of all board games that have aggressive war as a core mechanic).

I don't think games have colonialism problem as much as "war is the easiest mechanic to make fun" problem. And I don't think morality has anything to do with this. It's exactly as moral to make a game about killing human race with a deadly virus as a game about colonialism. But I'd prefer if we had more board games where conflict isn't military - simply because it's been done too many times and it's boring.

> Obviously as a white male I experience incredible privilege overall.

Only if you limit privilege to negative reward (suffer less discrimination and exclusion) instead of positive reward (getting actual benefits) and as you say, the tide is turning. Positive reward is still mainly tied to class and generational wealth.

Do you think it makes sense for a for-profit enterprise to have hiring policies based on the political sensibilities of the staff, let alone mainly those of SJW middle class white women?
Agreed. I often tell customers to use an off-the-shelf solution and get on with their real business. Custom software development is expensive, risky, and incurs long-term maintenance costs. I outright refuse to take on custom e-commerce sites or accounting or CRM systems at this point.

About half the time the customer will find someone else who will happily bid on writing custom code despite my suggestion. That’s one reason the legacy code problem just gets bigger every year, and a lot of it shouldn’t have been written in the first place.
The "ng" sound exists in English, it's just that we don't have it at the beginning of words like Vietnamese does.

Say "singer", then say it again without the "si". Congratulations - you know how to pronounce a word that starts with "ng".
Everyone thinks they're special(because we're all told that in the US for our entire childhood), and will be rich, so they see it as voting against their future interests to oppose it.
Why not? From my POV Germany seems good at manufacturing. E.g. Siemens. And cars.

Because only Apple could create the iPod? Duh!

No, seriously, there were a lot of competent MP3 players before the iPod, but Apple did it the was they do it most of the time: wait until a technology is really ready for mass market adoption, and then present their own compelling version of it. In the case of the iPod, it was the integration with iTunes (the software and the store) which made the iPod easier to use than the competition. Of course, it helped that Apple was also a computer maker and had far more software competence than a regular electronics company. Also, Apple was in an unique position to convince the record companies to "play along" with the iTunes store.

And then they did it again with the iPhone...

I am in a similar situation. I have recently decided to move back. Would love to be in touch with you and learn about your experience moving back and rebooting your career.
This reminds me of the story of the town of Versailles, Indiana.

It was common knowledge nearby that anyone who came in and pronounced it "ver-sai" was from out of town. Because everyone living there called it "ver-sails".

I use this as an example of how if anyone gets to decide how something is pronounced, it's the people who live there. The city is simply called "ver-sails" and that's all there is to it.

It is not "wrong", anymore than pronouncing it as you likely say "karate" is not more wrong than "ka-ra-te" (the japanese pronunciation) or that the japanese prounciation of the english word "sweater" being "su-we-ta" is wrong. Borrowed word pronunciation is entirely up to the user.
No, you throw out nonsense single line sentences that say and contribute nothing.
TSMC is really the keystone for everything else done that ends up getting talked about on this website. They are constantly at the bleeding edge of computer manufacture and pushing it further still. We should feel some sense of amazement to be alive still in the middle of the computer revolution.

Australia had a carbon price a decade ago. It lost that government the next election, the incoming government repealed the carbon price and have retained government since.

Even now, the current government is resisting any policy that could be considered threatening to fossil fuels.

The voting majority of Australians don't give a fuck about climate change action.
> Pretty is nice, but Quality and Applicability are the Principal goals.

Speed of maintenance is of ultimate importance with software that changes frequently. You may call this pretty, but in my book its principal goal.
Sorry, let me rephrase. I didn't mean it in a negative way. The last time I needed to actually implement a sort method was when I was doing very low level embedded work and there wasn't one available on that platform (at least not one with the memory/compute trade offs I needed). I'm sympathising with mathematicians who have to build stuff on black-box stuff they don't full understand. Things are too complex to know it down to the CPU level, even so complex that modern devs don't even know how search and sort is implemented, but still get shit done.

That's a commendable character trait, but if you have to twist a "heuristic" beyond recognizability for it to make any sense, then what's the purpose of that heuristic?

In general investment in the "old" EU countries is less profitable due to higher taxes, salaries, and other costs. That's why most of the European companies choose to build their new factories in Central Europe: Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, etc. TSMC should do the same.

Typing phonetically works incredibly well. My wife (she's Japanese) writes her documents and text very fast. She says that she's actually a bit unusual (at least for her age group) in using that method, which surprised me because it's so efficient. But ".. using an alien character set" isn't actually an issue - in Japan you learn Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, and Latin letters. My wife's handwriting (with Latin letters) is way better than my own.
True, it's not a real problem in most scenarios if incremental compile times are good. I still feel uneasy depending on so many other crates, but this seems to be a level of paranoia that others in the community don't share.

Having 1000 dependencies sounds crazy to me! If there's a bug in even one of them that affects you then there's gonna be a lot of digging to figure out the cause, and possibly multiple pull requests to get it fixed. I think my CPU would spend a bit longer than 10-15 secs on the linker step, too.
It's not fascinating when you're waiting for a team to grow to offload a big workload and your manager says It's taking a while because they only want to hire minorities.
Yes, that too, the u.i. must support it and often it doesn't. As well as numerous issues with printing and ignoring or wrongly rendering my fontconfig directive to render characters in that codepoint space at 130% size.

I think that those figures are the kind of estimates that only make sense in aggregate: when it says 8 front-end developers, I just assume that it has a standard deviation of at least 4.

Agree. I also live in Norway and have done for years.

I can get

- to work (bike or bus + train + 1km walk),

- to the shop (walk or bike),

- to many of my friends (walk or bike),

- to the town center (bus or bike)

quite comfortably alone, and I think at least except winter most (by number) of my trips is car free.

But good look getting 5 kids somewhere where there isn't a bus line (soccer, ice hockey, activities, church, in-laws house, frinds across town, fishing).

Looking at the media, it's hard to agree with your claim that it's pro status quo. See any incendiary topic where the media can take opposing sides. Surely two diametrically opposed opinions can't be status quo biased.
Countries that have semi factories in Europe: Germany, Italy, France, Ireland, Netherlands, UK, Austria, Belgium, and Hungary (with different capabilities and sizes)

So it would be natural that it ends on the countries with existing factories and expertise.

How is hiring along innate characteristics going to increase diversity? Are you of the opinion that a group consisting of Oprah Winfrey, Mike Tyson, Dave Chapelle and Barack Obama is homogenous just because they're all black? Do you think a randomly picked candidate from that pool would equally increase diversity in a team of college educated middle class programmers, or might there be a difference between their perspectives that goes beyond "African-American"?
That's great until the music stops and you find out who's left standing without a chair.

The only related field is ASIC design - a few offices of American companies like Synopsys (>100 employees), Silicon Creations (a few dozen employees), Cadence (a few dozen as well).

Mobility and transport by car aren't necessary for a functioning society. Trains, buses, bicycles and walking can build a perfectly functional society. It'd be disruptive, certainly.

Smoking was taking a group of people and telling that they can't do something they want to do. Banning cars would be similar. People don't really seem to be honest about how arbitrary the anti-smoking campaign is. I'd much rather people smoked than drank.
> I have to say that I've never met anyone who thinks that bikes (or any other mode of transport) can replace cars 100%.

Probably not, but it is certainly feasible to eliminated the need of owning a car.

That last company name definitely looks like it's related to the CEO -- it's some kind of "translation" of his last name.
Same for Germany and the UK, in my experience. Within or very close to major cities, it’s feasible albeit often slow and frustrating.

A bit further out, cars are close to vital, unless you specifically optimise for public transport when choosing your home and work locations, and accept major restrictions around social and hobby activities.
This is sorely missed in the GIS world: A well written and simple tool that isn't over engineered trying to cover all sorts of fringe use cases. Very clean code and good design at first glance.

I get why rasterio is preferred, its API is less annoying, but I'm not sure putting a leaking abstraction over gdal helps much. It just creates an aluring veneer over gdal, without really solving the main problems of gdal, being its monolithic monstrosity of hardly portable yet highly necessary GIS tool functionality.

Doesn't matter too much with gdal's warts, as this server should be deployed with ansible or in a container anyways, so portability is handled in a somewhat sane manner.

Thanks for open sourcing this!
This is more relevant when you're building lower technology items (toasters, gasoline engines, etc)

"And, if we ever create artificial intelligence, it won't function in an unbounded domain until it is able to experience something like our emotions; emotions are the fast filter on the swirling sea of stimuli that surrounds us. Machine intelligence needs emotion to guide cognition. So, when AIs do start to have feelings, it's probably in our own best interests that we let them learn to swear."
In Haskell I used to do this trick where if I wanted to neatly type annotate, but my function had some crazy signature, I'd compile the program, but passing the function into another function in an intentional incorrect way. The compiler would complain "expected A but got B". And I would simply copy B and make it the type annotation :P

Nowadays the editor would help you do that. When I'm coding Rust the editor shows the types inline in a small font, which is very helpful.
