> I am physically able, yes

We agree, then :) If they’re anxious regarding the privacy implications of using this extension, they can build it themselves.

> The term …

Alright, I agree, that was a misuse of the definition on my part, and I should have said “Source-available”. I was unaware of this definition, so thanks!
I take a physics perspective first view of reality, and see Chomsky’s work as a field theory of linguistics.

Trade to support biological life is one thing, and is something I feel should be unencumbered by servicing memes like “Jeff Bezos is worth billions of dollars.” An idea my math education informs me is built on abstraction the public cannot understand. It’s little different than conquering indigenous people with language like “My God commands it!”

Bezos isn’t a savior or genius; he had help from our social field theory in the form of rich relatives and friends who gained in a higher tax era, then changes the rules.

Paulo Freire and countless others offer similar metaphors for applying economics to social behavior. We call it behavioral economics now.

IMO the public should be holding out at scale, and only enabling the building of long lived solutions rather than lowest bidder public works, and social agency bent towards consumer waste creation and cleanup, while letting a minority LARP being above the daily work that enables their life.

Simple.

Nice, thanks! Didn’t know that one.
oh yes, no code written in 2021 should use that mess. but a glibc being some level of posix compatibility.. hard to blame them for at least trying to make it work.
New England Casket was one of the major suppliers of Jewish coffins until they had an 8 alarm fire in 2019. Sadly, they've folded the tent in the wake of that. There's a good video about the company and their products made before the fire that's worth a watch.

IMHO the more interesting oddity about the functions declared in <ctype.h> is that they work with unsigned char, which means that they have undefined behavior if you pass a negative char value (other than EOF, which is typically -1).

This means that if you have a char value (say, an element of a string), you need to cast it to unsigned char before passing it to any of the is*() functions.
Every day brought its toll of new revelations. And I guess it is far from over.

Thin Edge of the Wedge Strategy
You may not want creativity. You can't turn it off.

Also, the world needs people like you far more than people like me. I might move the world forward tomorrow because I create x or b or zx or d, we shall see, won't we? But you will make the world better today for being able to obey, unincumbered by all the shiny things that bounce and trounce your head askant.

Creativity is a bit bunk, basically; just don't dare take it from me.
Are you able to hire team members at your new gig to help you do the integration etc?

Consider taking a few weeks off too and recharge.
Except the world knows who the creator is and your 1s and 0s aint it

Fixing a missing dot has infinitely more real value than changing something that has no use at all to something different that still has no use. Nothing wrong with trivial contribution but these are contribution that just waste peoples time so a small group of people can get a dopamine reward out of it.
I don't have a phone that will run apps. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.
I was there too. You and GP are partially correct. IMO foxsec's capabilities were still gutted in the end but the entire team was not laid off.
I think you're typical-minding here. The realtime aspect is used all the time by many many people.
Warming is a tiny part of microbenchmarking actually. Knowing how and what the compiler optimizes, like purpose lattice checks to ensure no extra array boundaries in the code. Call site optimizations (class hierarchy analysis) - single site (direct calls, inclines), dual site - guarded checks, vs 3-5 - inline caches vs. full virtual calls. Card-marking of stores for concurrent GC. L2 and L3 CPU cache sizes awareness (certain dataset may fit and the results are misleading)... There are a lot other techniques to consider, including looking directly at the assembly code.

Microbenchmarking requires rather deep knowledge how the JIT works, how the hardware - CPU/cache/memory operates, the costs of calls certain system calls and what not.
Whether it's possible to grow forever isn't relevant to whether we can grow for another 10, 100, or 1000 years. At some point the sun is going to burn out, and even further than that the universe is going to reach heat death, but they belong to an entirely different class of problem than where to invest your money to prepare for retirement.

The growth of economies doesn't rest solely on forcing enslaved Bangladeshi youth to make t-shirts, or causing environmental disasters. It's also powered by the Haber process, cheap power from renewables, efficient labour markets that don't rely on wildly inefficient slavery to assign workers to jobs, assembly lines, spreadsheets, and the other boring but efficient advancements we've made.

If I'm reading it right, this is a claim that we're hitting fundamental limits of how large an economy can be, so all future growth will come at the cost of the "bottom of the pyramid". You're claiming that there is no possible future growth, that technology has hit a hard limit, and that any growing company will intrinsically be exploitative because there's no possible way for it to grow otherwise. This is a very extraordinary claim.

>We all know who are protected classes. For instance, members of board of directors of the big corporations are a protected class.

I think we all got played.
It is just the running theme on HN

A company does something wrong, bad company

Does something wrong to a group I dislike, it's just a private company
Well, there is also the option to hail a cab or a uber driven by a not drinking now human
Depends on the company. Stuff like Crowdstrike and the more advanced Defender service spot this sort of thing.

SSH is probably the best one, especially as you can usually get policy exceptions to access cloud resources.

> If one assumes, hypothetically, that insects are 0.1% as sentient as cows, or that the probability that insects can suffer is 0.1%, then killing 1,000 crickets has a similar ethical footprint as killing one cow.

Ok... are we really doing this? Math of suffering? I'm not even going to go into it, but I will point out a simple fact. Most people in the developed world over-eat. The amount of calories people consume is excessive and unreasonable.

People literally eat for pleasure. You want to be a moral human? Stop eating for pleasure, and stop over-eating calories. If everyone did this, we wouldn't even need to resort to meat alternatives. And yes, I am very sorry to point this out, but if this whole line of thinking is desirable...meaning we don't want animals to suffer as well as the logical conclusion that eating less would diminish this...being overweight is immoral. So here's my conclusion, the low hanging fruit in all this is people eating for pleasure, not controlling their calories and therefore gaining lots of weight, and as a consequence more animals suffer.

I would like to stop seeing overweight people all over the place, and the whole industry of eating for pleasure gone, before considering if switching to insects is moral because they might or might not suffer as much.
There seems to me to be a substantive difference between the monotheistic attitude towards the dead body as an object of reverence, and this, in which the body is an object of use.

It may have historical precedent, but I don’t think these things are the same.
Even if the pay is better, it's brutally reckless to give people 7.5 ton machinery to control without prior training. But hey I guess Brexit means "Who cares about needing several months of truck driving lessons?".

When they mow down a pedestrian crossing full of school children, the government can just say "Those dastardly Germans of the past!" except this time it'll be continued with "Why did they give unqualified people truck driving licenses?".

Haha, that one wins the prize!
I think requiring source code may be prohibited by so called "free trade agreements", and even enforceable by arbitrage, in the name of corporate freedoms and guarantees over governments that dare disagree.

Regardless, we should find a way. Neither FTAs, "capitalism", nor intellectual "property" should be above public good.
Maybe we want different things from the US government and its health care system. I'd like to optimize health outcomes. You have some proposals. Can you explain how they lead to something better than the status quo? What are the unintended consequences? Do drug companies invest in less drug development if they get X% less from developing drugs? Have you taken this into account in your advocacy for enjoying the X%?

Or maybe you have a different objective?
This hasn't happened to me personally, but I've read of security-conscious people receiving legitimate fraud-warning calls from their bank, and then struggling to get back in contact with the right people. Not every bank is set up to deal with security-conscious customers, apparently.

Yea friend, we're in violent agreement :)
Germans couldn't care less. British xenophobia got them into this and, frankly, they deserve what's coming. All of Europe knew what Brexit meant except the British, apparently.
Red tape I guess. Even office supplies are more complicated than they should be, especially things not available through "preferred suppliers". Commercial software licences are more complicated again, because the powers that be want to make absolutely sure that the licence isn't violated, so there are hurdles to even purchasing a licence, then more hurdles tracking which machines/people have access to it. We buy specialised commercial software when the need is great and the alternatives are poor/absent, but it's a mission every time.
Ran it on 32-bit ARM, 64-bit ARM, 32-bit x86, and 64-bit x86. All had different results, but all were the same until index 549, which is greater than the maximum value for unsigned char (255).
Your post is a lot of fun! I have a fondness for these kinds of deep dives. That being said, I feel like comparing the initial unoptimized Clojure code to highly optimized Common Lisp is kind of unfair. I wonder how fast the Clojure code could run if given the same care. Maybe I'll give that a try tonight!
The Science™ works by consensus. Your papers are irrelevant, and not part of the consensus, therefore you are wrong, because that's how the scientific method works.

Have you considered taking likely mutagenic drugs with no history of what the side effects may be that are well supported by The Science™ instead?

Orchest | 2 roles: [Backend Engineer (Python + k8s)|Developer Relations] | Full-Time | REMOTE (Europe timezones)

Orchest lets data scientists focus on what matters. It’s our mission to free data science teams from infrastructure tasks and limitations. We make the data platform team obsolete by automating the plumbing and making it easy to work in a cloud native way as a data scientist.

Today, we’re focused on drastically simplifying how data science pipelines are built by focusing on the development experience and seamless integration of the canonical open source data science stack.

We have just announced our Seed round: https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/01/orchest-raises-3-5m-to-pro...

Backend Engineer: help us develop the Orchest cloud offering. You'll operate at the intersection of product and cloud infrastructure. If you're obsessed with cloud native technologies and have a knack for distributed system design you'll feel right at home.

Developer Relations: you enjoy helping others succeed with their data science projects. You're a natural communicator (written word) and are interested in educating the wider data science community about the state of the art data science stack and Orchest's position in it.

More details about our open source project can be found here: https://github.com/orchest/orchest or check out our AngelList listing https://angel.co/company/orchest/jobs

This is your chance to get in on the ground floor. We're a team of 6 but growing quickly. Interested? Reach out to me on rick@orchest.io.
This punching down concern highlights how broken anti trust enforcement is. When companies have more resources than whole countries they're advantages make competing in any remotely related endeavors high risk. Unless of course being bought out is the only goal. But even in that case the 800lbs gorilla may still prefer to do it themselves and swallow the market.

Those are good points. The comparison to an autographed photo is actually really fair and puts it in a different light for me. But half a million bucks for an autograph from the girl in that meme? It still sets off my BS detector but I'm open to the possibility that I just don't get it.
So I'm not the only one who notices this.

The unnecessary this prefix strikes me as a sort of clickbait-adjacent red flag. I'm fairly sure it wasn't anywhere near this common 10 years ago.

What's absurd is that this accounting has been turned into a political talking point with useful idiots asserting the organization is broken because it's not turning a profit. Meanwhile the Department of War spends trillions every year and yet nobody compares it to an insolvent business, seemingly because the spending benefits those who define the popular talking points.
I knew a guy that had one of these back then with Linux on it. In that moment I felt like I had seen it all, that was it for me.
I am afraid I cannot continue to discuss in good faith because you are making up stuff I did not say.

For the record, the whole point of the substack post is that the NYT article did not do anything close to comparing a vaccinated 80-year olds in a Blue states to unvaccinated 80-year olds in Red states.

In fact, the article makes no attempt to control for age at all.

No, the article assumes there is only one possible factor that might determine whether someone might die from COVID19 ... "Is that person one of us or one of them?"

Alrighty then.
How Lemonade Became a Precocious 5-Year-Old
It's well known that most programs had automatic memory deallocation in the before times: your tool would call malloc, process its input, and let the OS free memory as soon as it exited.

But some of the fanciest programs, like the Bourne Shell, were even more automatic: they didn't have to manually manage each allocation either. You'd simply write right on the heap and have your SIGSEGV handler do a brk() every so often!
