A few years ago i glommed onto one of Brendan Gregg’s structured models called the USE method, i’ve had a lot of mileage out of it.

Utilisation - have a quick squizz at what resources are being used on the host, so in this case i’m guessing you’d see an elevated %sys time which would lead you to look at probably IO next so maybe disk would be first on your hit list…

Saturation - where are we bottlenecking.

Exceptions - anything going wrong on the host (or indeed in the process).

This model isn’t general though, e.g. it wouldn’t help you identify a deadlock for example.

One for the back pocket. It’s certainly earned a space in mine.
To be clear, I thought your comment I responded to was an embodiment of the kind of binary outrage that is so conducive to social media.

That’s why is why I (hopefully humorously) compared the comment with content on Reddit itself.

In other words, it’s ironic how similar your comment was to the content that you are criticizing.

It makes sense since Samsung has its own payment infrastructure (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay). Although those are for retail payments for in-person purchases rather than app store purchases, I can also see South Korea not wanting to have foreign merchants controlling substantial markets, such as an app store.

Those laws probably apply to Samsung as well, if Samsung deploys its own app store.
Plasterboard and Its Prominent Benefits
The best thing is that the plasterboard can be fitted anywhere in the house and you can make a partition between the rooms or lounge by simply installing the walls of the plasterboard and it doesn’t even require masonry work. Well, here, we have revealed some pros of ceiling installation in North London and by knowing these benefits, you would be able to make a better decision.

Tiny screens and keyboards on touch screens will never be the best for authoring activities, even for most of the activities you've listed, including communicating.

Take my dad for example - not a tech guru, but works in Excel all the time, does renovation planning in Sketchup, etc.

Imagine trying to use Excel on your phone to actually do something beyond passively viewing a document. Imagine trying to manipulate a model with any degree of precision. In my experience, anyone who needs to do significant authorship prefers real keyboards and larger screens.

Phones and tablets are passive consumption and quick communication devices only, the exact opposite of what we should be encouraging in many ways.

Again, UB is UB, and if the author of said program wrote it to rely on -fno-strict-aliasing in gccrs, that's probably bad code. It doesn't mean, however, that -fno-strict-aliasing isn't useful.

The truth of the matter is that I'm horrified by stacked borrows and what it represents, because it will make unsafe code extremely painful to write and extremely brittle. Rust needs a way to opt-out of these aggressive optimizations, like every other systems language ever has had for the majority of their lifespans. A function attribute would be acceptable, but the truth is, Rust is not open to any such enhancements for unsafe code. They seem hell-bent on enforcing "safety" on deliberately unsafe code, even if it breaks that code in subtle ways.

EDIT: I have no interest in arguing further. This is a hopeless and frankly rather disheartening topic for me. Rust has brought out more strong emotions from me than any other language I have ever used. I suppose why it matters to me is because I see such potential in Rust, and I feel it's being taken down the wrong path. But, that's just my opinion.

I think it's fine that a lot of what we've traditionally used a PC for is now available in more appliance like devices for people. But I also think that personal computing is a revolutionary tool and absolutely should exist for people inclined to use it. Problem is, pretty much everyone who used to make PCs would much rather burn them to the ground so they can sell appliances instead.
> you’d get knocked out easier

A knockout in MMA includes a much wider category of ways to lose, e.g. tapping out from an arm-bar and conceding to your opponent counts as a knockout.

Also, boxing has the big gloves that let you all but punch someone's head off, and "below the belt" is set way too high, effectively eliminating body punches from the sport.
I love the piece in general, but one statement stands out to me:

> Now, perhaps OSX is more feature complete than Oberon, but certainly not by a factor of ~40 000X.

I am not at all sure that this is true. Unix alone has a vast feature set. Then consider just the features connected with something like displaying type, or accessibility.

OS X is complex because it has accreted a large collection of messy human requirements.

> Something was lost along the way.

This is 100% true. Even to me, as someone who thinks Apple does good work, OSX doesn’t feel like a general purpose computer in the way that someone like Oberon or an Alto running smalltalk does.

The Kay quote comes to mind: “ Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.”

It a bit unfair to Apple. There is structural integrity to OSX, but it’s like a civil engineering project where the integrity is gradually being retrofitted over time.

Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids: How to Go Monolithic with Tiles
True, but this is why so many 'alternate' subs have been created over the years, and why you also can (for now) still create one if you see a need.

I've found that mods in smaller communities are often much more approachable than I expected, as well.

Unfortunately, you are right that mod abuse in larger subs has become a pretty awful problem. Part of the issue is that some have found ways to monetize their positions (which of course eventually ruins everything), but there's certainly no shortage of egotistical maniacs, trolls and idiots who are happy to unfairly hassle others without pay. It can be hard to pull subscribers away once a place reaches critical mass, too.

Honestly, I see no solution to the problem other than to steer clear of larger spaces-- or at least watch for biases and don't take them seriously. Any attempt to create a 'vetting' system for mods will not only break anonymity but also give reddit's paid admins even more power.

In the case of political parties: they decide themselves. The large parties all have lists of clubs and informal organizations where membership is incompatible with party membership.

(No major party allows membership in another party, except european sister parties in other countries, but it's possible, and some smaller parties allow it)
I think it's certainly heavily weighted to the big publishers but 99%? I'm not so sure.

But you know what's expensive? Private lawsuits, government lawsuits, a court or legislature deciding the outcome, compliance with legislation, compliance with consent decrees, compliance with judgements, etc.

The biggest issue is that third parties will end up deciding the outcome. You're almost always better off heading off government action by instituting the least bad solution for you.

What if the outcome of governent action is completely independent third party app stores? Apple and Google certainly don't want that. I would argue that neither do end users actually. A vocal minority thinks they do but they're wrong. That could happen if the wheels of the US or EU regulators start turning against you.
It appears that Magiclasso is not open source. That being the case, how can anyone trust your claim that "Magic Lasso Adblock doesn't see or have access to any of your web pages or browsing history?"
If you're going to quote a line, quote the context. The OP was talking about "boom cities" as a problem, which they aren't by themselves. The problem is the unaffordability of the cities, caused by lack of housing, which leads folks to live outside of the city and commute.

My main point was that arguing for remote work/sprawl was not a ecologically-friendly argument. Sure, lots of people want to live in the middle of nowhere. But the negative externalities, looking to the future, are many, and they are something to consider when trying to praise WFH as a potential solution for anything.

Yes, everyone that reads this forum supports WFH because they benefit directly from it. From a birds-eye view though, looking at urban development and the cultural decline of isolated populations in the US, it looks like it could be a disaster.
> Rust needs a way to opt-out of these aggressive optimizations

As the next sentence of that very first post said:

> There is a way to tell the language exactly what you want: you can use unsafe, raw pointers, UnsafeCell, and abstractions built atop them.

And again, this is not about optimization, this is about semantics. What you want is a different semantics, which is why it is not something that we would accept as a flag. Rustc does already let you change what optimizations are done to your code (trivially: -C opt-level=n). That is not an issue. This just isn't about optimization.

> It's kind of a youthful trait, isn't it? […]People grow out of that.

I wish you were right, but I've met enough angry mobs of 50 to 70 people online to know you aren't unfortunately.

Face to face, people are usually pretty civil and they don't easily call name on one another (because you know, a punch in the face is just painful), but even in real life, when the discussion happens in front of a group, discussions are quickly getting hotter. And being separated by a screen and an internet connection make things far worse.
> Instead, take something like food, where it's a commodity. That's a place where markets should be the cleanest and most responsive to price signals.

There are a whole lot of distortions on every side of the market for food which interfere with a properly functioning market. There are incredible subsidies paid to farmers to produce specific things (which then cause over-production in those items). There are tariffs to protect privileged farmers. There are actual import and sometimes export quotas. Then, rich countries dump the over-production as in-kind food aid to poor countries undermining poor farmers there.

Case in point is Nebbia v. New York[1] where the supreme court affirmed state interference in free markets by setting a price floor on milk to protect a select few milk producers.

Going back to my first comment. The mechanics are clear. An effective price ceiling leads to too few units being offered relative to the units demanded resulting in perpetual shortages and non-market mechanisms end up determining who gets the benefits of the existing units. Persistent price ceilings lead to chronic reduction in investment producing the thing.

Similarly, effective price floors (minimum price of milk, minimum wage etc) lead to too many units being offered to the market leading to persistently wasted productive resources.

Both reduce the total productive capacity of an economy.

When I was building my 3D engine for the web I thought about creating a component for this kind of thing: showing and interacting with a 3D model (I think this would be good for stores to display products) and I also thought about displaying panoramic images (inverted sphere with a 360º picture as texture), back then I found some other people doing something similar so I just gave up on the idea. But I for one think this would be a good feature.

The big difference is whether or not the product has near zero marginal costs, network effects, and/or large moats due to copyrights and patents. From a valuation perspective these factors greatly affect how much money can be made.
While that speculation is plausible, another view would be that companies would offer quality content without tracking users and invading their privacy (how many paid services still flood you with ads?), and possibly free alternatives would start to come up.

From your point of view, free open source is something that wouldn't exist

Indeed! I find working in notebooks to be singularly unpleasant, mainly because of lack of full IDE support.
Others have deeper reasons to dislike notebooks:

As a note to OP, messaging your solution as “turn your notebook into an app” may not be optimal — you will loose many who abhor working in notebooks.
I know how lens compression works. Though I specifically used the 35mm-50mm range because it depends on whether you take the diagonal directly, the diagonal of a square with edge length equal to the long edge of a 35mm sensor, or the diagonal of a square with edge length equal to the short edge of a 35mm sensor. Something in this range will produce an image that has a "normal" amount of compression.

However, these lenses will obviously not produce a human field of view. In fact, AFAIK, you cannot reproduce the field of view of a human eye without pretty severe distortions. Your eyes aren't rectilinear, so using very short rectilinear lenses don't really get you any closer to how a human sees. This choice is therefor aesthetic.

In the long term, the CMU computer science culture starts interpreting unreasonableness as damage and stops inviting it to parties and collaborations and recommending it forward to peers outside the institution.

I don't know, but it definitely blocks ads which is why I use it.
It's all the potential criteria around the request that makes just that one piece more complex than it seems.

For example; "Make me a site that does x, you have 2 hours" Do I need to build the app in front of you? Problematic because how often does one build an entire web site in a couple of hours, while someone is standing over their shoulders scrutinizing every keystroke?

Do I take it home and do it? If so, how do I prove to you that I did the work?

Do you care what framework I use? Do you care if I use Open Source code?

What design should I use? Where do I get the site assets from?

If I'm building this site for you, are you paying me for that time?

Then there's the non-technical parts missing from an interview like that:

How does such an exercise tell you that I'm the kind of person you want to work with?

How does such an interview provide me an opportunity to ask you question? It tells me nothing about you or your company which is every bit as important as you finding out about me.
I'm skeptical that executives in commercial real estate have that much leverage over major corporations. I expect things like a bias towards the status quo, sunk cost fallacies, concerns about long-term culture/productivity, and so forth are more than enough to make companies hesitant to go mostly/fully remote.
I never want to see Javascript code either, but being annoyed at Brendan Eich all the time is a bit futile.
What led you to this realization? I've been goals focused since high school. I've hit some of my goals and not hit other of my goals but after years of this living in that mindset I realized it wasnt that healthy. I was always looking forward to achieving some future goal and when I did/didnt hit it then I spent time kind of wondering through life until I found another meaningful goal.

I still have goals but now they are not focused on specific things but rather building skills/doing things that bring me happiness. It seems to be a little more sustainable.
That’s because $100,000 is noise as far as they are concerned. The small company I work at has millions per week in transactions. We have little to no leverage against anyone.
I think it is just a matter of semantics. Let's call it "large scale AdWords statistics improvement". Look, sounds much better now!

Ran the following numpy program, which resulted in a time of 0.01116s, faster than the article's benchmark but slightly slower than my Dyalog timing of 0.0093s. Assuming relative times are consistent across CPUs, this would put Dyalog on 8-byte floats just ahead of Q on 8-byte ints. Floating-point vector instructions take longer than integer ones; while overflow checking could turn things the other way, K and Q famously don't do it. It's not consistent with a sum of 100 runs as geocar suggests.

import numpy as np
import time

N = 1000 * 1000
pA = np.random.randint(0, 5, N)
pB = np.random.randint(0, 5, N)
sA = np.random.randint(0, 100, N)
sB = np.random.randint(0, 100, N)

start = time.perf_counter()
runs = 100
for i in range(runs):
bS = sA * (pA >= pB) + sB * (pA <= pB)
end = time.perf_counter()
print((end - start)/runs)

According to the US Treasury, the Chinese are not dumping bonds at all. [0] [1]

Side-note: The Chinese have to own treasuries because the US buys so much stuff from them. If they hurt the US currency relative to their own, then Chinese goods would become more expensive for Americans, and the US would buy less. That would not be good for an economy like China's that has a trade surplus with the US in the range of hundreds of billions of dollars per year. [2]

That's because most of the criticism wasn't in the form of conspiracy theories or accusations, but instead in the form of technical or at least logical arguments against their use. It was, "this is a problem and it isn't being addressed at all."

With the 2020 election, it was -- after the fact -- "all these machines are now corrupt because I lost". And I use the term "I lost" because it was the Trump campaign and it's most adherent supporters that were making the claims. And then there were recounts and investigations... which turned up nothing, but the complaints continued into court cases... which also turned up nothing, but the complaints and court cases turned into rallies... which became riots and insurrections.

So the difference is that the first group was largely rational and reasonable -- you'll note the distinct lack of injury and death -- while the second group ignored the facts, didn't care about the actual problem of the machines, and used it as a scapegoat to fuel insurrection, violence, and populism.

I'm sorry if you can't see it, but it's really not very subtle.
