That's certainly a more complex interface, but I don't think it enables anything more.

I think switchto (which became futex_swap which became umcg_swap) from thread X is roughly "suspend the current thread (X) and unsuspend Y", where suspend is "wait on a futex". When all of the tasks you propose specifying are done, one of them can just unsuspend X (possibly suspending itself at the same time). (Caveat: I don't really know what changed between futex_swap and umcg_swap.)

btw, I don't think it's fair to say the kernel maintainers lacked the industry experience to perceive the benefits. I've glanced at some of the UMCG threads and it seems like reviewers have legitimate feedback aimed at improving the patchset rather than rejecting it. Assuming posk has enough time to keep making new drafts, I expect it to be merged eventually.

I'm really glad that Mullvad is taking this stance after the recent sale of ExpressVPN.

I wonder (hope for them) that they kept the bitcoin they've been getting by some people, including me, when bitcoin was around 1-2 euro each. If so, they must have 'fuck you money' now anyways.

I'm not a fan of how Plausible seems to straight up copy everything that Fathom does. From features to announcements to landing pages. I could imagine copy-cats are hard to deal with as founders, but man, it seems like Plausible copies every little thing Fathom does. That isn't to detract from Plausible's success, which is undeniable and impressive in and of itself, but it has always irked me.

p.s. I'm a Fathom customer, so take this as you will. Obviously biased.
Maybe a hw decoder? (These already exist, but I mean, really tightly integrated with the browser.) Or some other offloading to hardware?

Sounds like a vacation! I was a nobody too, but I did get to see some wild shit because I have a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time; got me demoted a couple of times too. I also had a habit of tinkering with things I had no business tinkering with, to my commander’s chagrin, and sometimes, but rarely, delight. Sometimes I miss it for a few minutes, but I really don’t.

That’s pretty much the gist of what I say these days. There’s usually questions about the wild shit or the tinkering, but that’s pretty much where it ends, because there’s no way those stories are true. My wife didn’t believe most of them until she met some of the people I worked with and she realized that the stories I told were the sane ones: they have even crazier ones.

.org domains actually have some credibility as there's this misconception that you need to be a non-profit to register one, like how you have to be a accredited university to register a .edu domain or a government entity to register a .gov domain. .net domains however have a bad reputation regardless for some reason.

One of the things about a small community is that there are real social consequences for not staying within the confines of polite behavior. People can get embarrassed, shunned, ignored, etc. Their reputations are harmed, often leading to consequences in terms of work, friends, family, etc.

On Facebook, people who are rude & impolite are rewarded with more engagement. Real consequences are very rare.

It's a real problem.

Agreed, iOS 15 is finally going to make hundreds of millions of iPhones to be able to access 3D experiences on the web at good performance.

Shameless plug, but our startup is building better support for Unreal developers to target WebGL2, and we're working towards WebGPU support. We're offering an end-to-end ecosystem that includes our SDK for optimizing games/3D apps, which includes compression, an asset streamer tool, and networking libraries for the web. This goes hand in hand with our hosting platform where developers can deploy their projects to without having to go through walled gardens. The best part is no 30% fees!

We're going to have some demos here pretty soon as we approach general availability of the platform. If you or any other devs reading this are interested, you can join our Discord community here:

I can recall only one article that was posted here which included that, but I came away thinking it was misleading. It binned weight categories(e.g. BMI ranges from X-Y) and showed that over time, people were falling into heavier categories, and that sperm outcomes were getting worse in every category (heavily in the obese, less so in the normal weight range). But if you eyeballed the curve it felt very likely that the distribution of individuals was just shifting the the heavier end within each category.

E.g. if a healthy BMI is 18-25, and you look at the the average outcome for that group over time... if the whole population gets fatter then the mean value in the 18-25 group could shift from 20 to 22. So... take it as you will. Sorry for no source here either.

I love Slack. I love waking up in the morning to be told I need to upgrade to use exactly the same product as I'm forced to use every day, and which behaves exactly the same (except a bit slower) after I've updated my OS to install the latest browser to access Slack.

I love the bad search, the poor integration, and the web interface to a product with the functionality of an '80s app. It just burns so much time, but hey the wasted hours are all chargeable and that sure pays the bills.

How do I get through burnout?
I am a software developer and the CTO of a startup that has been growing quite nicely for almost 7 years. Along the path I have done everything from backend to frontend, infrastructure to mobile. We have been growing the development team more rapidly over the last two years and I find myself feeling like I am unable to accomplish anything. I feel like an imposter even though I usually help people work through their problems successfully. I don't feel like I am suited to be the CTO which makes my day to day work boring and tedious.

I get anxious just thinking about sitting down at my desk. Several months ago I had a full blown panic attack and sunk into a deep depression when thinking about work. I attempted to step down but was essentially begged to stay and continue my job. I think the anxiety comes from the uncertainty I feel about how I'm doing and if I can even be a decent developer anymore.

How do I get past the feeling of not being able to contribute? Is there a way to move on from the anxious feeling? Is this a sign that I just need to move on? I have read articles but haven't found anything that works other than trying not to care about work, but I struggle with that since I helped build this company.

Sorry for the throwaway but I hope you understand why I am using one.
In suburban America the concept of a block party is relatively common. All neighbors in a cul-de-sac/street get together and eat/drink.
"Reply all" is the best single answer, but it also varies between lists -- on some lists, the norm is that you reply only to the list and don't CC the sender.

For example this is the norm on many Debian mailing lists. Or at least some people firmly consider it a norm, and will grouch at people CC'ing them.

The fact that this varies from list to list, and it's not encoded in software and you're just supposed to know which style to use, and that people then blame the human senders for not getting it right all the time, is among the reasons that mailing lists can be an unwelcoming medium.
State/local prosecutors would rather go against an overworked overworked public defender than a well funded legal team from a firm that can eventually offer them a job.

> Programmers need to stop assuming that every situation is scale- and convenience-invariant.

I’ve seen it termed the “All Ns are equally likely” fallacy. I.e. when programmers write code, they know that they should write different code for when N is 0, for when N is 1, but as soon as it goes higher, most programmers tend to write code which is optimized for arbitrary values of N, even though in actual practice N might almost always be, say, at most 10. This often leads to inefficient and overcomplicated code, where a simpler algorithm might be faster most of the time while still able to correctly, if more slowly, deal with non-typical values of N.
I definitely think your latter point is very important but also very likely to get lost in the noise and the circus of the public.
I know someone from school who is a fairly senior manager at one of the FAANGs. He only got a cell phone in the first place because he and his wife adopted and the nanny insisted.

That's what a bankruptcy is? It "immunize" you against past liabilities.
Prosecutors in the US are given leeway to make deals under the law that benefit the people. I am not sure of the details, but it often happens that companies indemnify executives (i.e. promise to pay legal expenses incurred defending behavior associated with working at the company). That means that suing the Sackler heirs (especially if unsuccessful) might diminish the funds available to recover from Purdue, since Purdue would be paying the Sackler legal fees. If the prosecutors believe that probability of a successful suit against the Sacklers is low enough, they may do an expected value calculation where they value the private contributions of funds from the Sacklers under the settlement more highly than what they expect to recover in the event of a lawsuit against the Sacklers.

I have a former teen.

The person to ask about social networks is your teen.

Because to a first approximation, you're not about to "give a little bit."

You are accepting that your teen can pretty much do whatever they want if they really want to.

That is the great thing about having a teenager. You are establishing the adult to adult part of your relationship.

And that is all about trust.

You have to trust them to try and make good decisions.

That means you have to provide input they can trust.

So that probably means accepting privacy theater as privacy theater.

Good luck.

> HoTT makes homotopy theory relevant to the foundations of mathematics.

OK.

> So every mathematician encounters this stuff in some way.

I doubt that. First, not every mathematician cares all that much about foundations. If you're using differential equations in mathematical biology, how much do you actually care about foundations? And second, even if you do care about foundations, HoTT isn't the only possible foundation, nor is it the most common one. You could care about foundations and base those foundations on ZFC without giving a rip about HoTT.

So... I don't buy it. (Unless by "encounters in some way" you mean "hears it in hallway conversations" or "skims journal articles about it now and then".)
You'd be getting an unbelievable amount of SMS spam if carriers weren't allowed to block messages. There's a lot of bad actors out there.

Yeah, that's what worries me. Every time there's a story like this, and someone asks "what, why did the employees buckle over and implement this evil scheme?" you get a torrent of answers about:

"Well obviously they cared about losing their job, we need strong worker protections and unions."

"We just need a culture of calling people out on anti-social behavior, whether or not that specific transgression is already codified."

"We need strong regulations that penalize corner cutting."

Governments have set up departments to forward requests for takedowns directly to Facebook, sidestepping whatever due process they usually would require to get a court order:

"Watchdogs say that this coordination between governments and online platforms lacks transparency and operates through an alternative enforcement mechanism that denies due process of law. In the vast majority of cases, the Cyber Unit doesn’t file a court order based on Israeli criminal law and go through the traditional legal process to take down online posts. Instead, the Unit makes appeals to the platform’s content moderation policies and community standards. The enforcement of these policies though can be selective, devoid of different cultural contexts, and flexible to the interests of the powerful."

Got a nice .xyz domain mainly for mail with SPF,DKIM correctly set up and tested against multiple validators.

No big issues so far except for the HR department of a potential new gig which can painlessly mail me@mydomain.xyz about job interviews BUT never get my replies back.

I don't who to blame more in this mess:

- Me for playing smartass instead of using a @gmail.com because they impose the rules so everybody comply to them (maybe my reluctance to encourage this broken system explain my recklessness)

- The IT department of this organization that probably didn't what to deal with modern standard and/or reasonable spam filtering and set up a blunt rule for new TLD (I mean come on it was a REPLY to a mail ADRESSED to this specific mailbox)

- The broken system that keep on inventing arbitrary new rules that everyone must implement to keep getting accepted by "the big players".
(For instance I already had to change hosting two years ago because apparently you are also responsible for bad neighbors)

Guess i'll just have to be brave and migrate to a more classical TLD and set up redirects to ease transition. But it's pretty annoying to start over with crap like that because some dudes in "the big players" teams decided to ban a whole TLD just because it's "easier".

Thanks for sharing! I have to admit that I am probably very ignorant of backend dev paradigms in general since I got my start in frontend dev. Definitely cool to see that I'm not anywhere close to the first one to find this kind of workflow compelling.

IMO the possibility for an air-tight feedback loop is _the_ killer feature for interpreted languages vs compiled ones. I can always feel my productivity plummet whenever I work in an environment that takes that away from me. I wish more people would try to take advantage of it.

What if it's a scheduler daemon running whenever-it-happens-to on one core, making policy decisions about when to preempt processes running on other cores (and which sleeping processes to schedule in their place onto those cores), and then queuing those decisions up into a "dumb" kernel-side scheduler using e.g. an io_uring?

Then the actual kernel-side scheduling process would just involve 1. the kernel popping things off the "to preempt" queue and setting interrupts on those cores; and 2. the preemption interrupt handler popping a process-block ref off the "next workload on this core" queue and switching to it. With no actual decision-making happening at preempt time.

(This is irrelevant to the greater point, though, because eBPF isn't a userspace process in the first place.)
I’m curious how the ghOSt work presented here relates to the user managed concurrency groups (umcg) work that also allows userspace to take scheduling decisions. Seems like both originate at google.
Is this a criticism? It doesn't at all seem touted as a drop-in replacement for the modern search engine.

Upper management won't value you constantly disagreeing with them on risk/reward tradeoffs like "how finished does the code need to be" or "how many bugs are OK for now." Maybe they say "yes, but if we don't get it done by the deadline, we might lose $LARGE_NUMBER in business because..." After that point, there's a difference between seen as usefully raising a concern and being stubborn and annoying.

Or, possibly upper management is just clueless to the cost of the bugs that are shipping. But you still probably won't get far if you just say "this is too buggy" and can't show them why they're wrong and you're right about it harming the business. Maybe you can persuade them if you go get some data. Maybe not.

Ultimately, if the kind of software they want doesn't line up with the kind of software you want to build, don't expect to get rewarded for constantly complaining about it. You're probably better off finding a place where you align better in terms of what type of software they want to ship.
