You appear to have an idealized view of embedded development. High-profile and high-volume products may get custom silicon, but most designs are driven by per-part price, which means in practice piggybacking on manufacturing runs for highest-volume products of other companies, with effectively no choices.

The assertion that rotate and popcount instructions are unimportant is false. All compilers peephole-optimize to generate rotate instructions where supported, and not because nobody needs that. There is a long history of mis-estimating instructions and their importance, going back to optimizing an instruction used only in a kernel idle loop.

A more objective measure is to note how often a neglected instruction has needed to be added after the first ISA version shipped, because its lack handicapped the chips on the market. Popcount wins that race everywhere: always neglected, always added. Its neglect reveals the blinders of the CS academics who do the initial ISA designs, and the need to patch reveals the reality.

The importance of an instruction is poorly represented by both its static frequency and by its total execution frequency for the same reason as that idle-loop instruction was miscounted: the importance of lines of code varies by many orders of magnitude, and there is no way to measure importance when counting. It is easy to prioritize instructions used in signature benchmarks, but they are a cracked mirror.

The market is another cracked mirror: it takes a very large signal to penetrate it. Any that does merits attention.

ive been talking to libertarians all my life, nothing is really assumed here. the "drive by" comment spoke to a very real attitude on the part of "libertarians" that anything they don't like is "communist". this is pretty explicitly present in today's political dialogue. as for my commenting i think it's important that hacker news meets at least a little bit of resistance in its otherwise relentless push towards being a right wing echo chamber.
The most important thing to do is get your users data somewhere safe as quickly as possible. For the vast majority of users that means your cloud database.

As the user generates new data, spray it to your servers as well as writing it to the syncable IndexedDB local storage, and to an in-memory buffer. Make your backend handle writes idempotently, and retry all failures a few times. (Eg, IndexedDB disk might be full or flaking out, so retry writing the memory buffer to disk.)

As long as the write path is quick, users can tolerate the browser nuking offline storage cache because they can re-download all the data that made it up to your server.

Hopefully soon the browser vendors will allow more durable file system access with appropriate user controls. Chromium built out the file system access API (https://web.dev/file-system-access/) but it’s not supported in Firefox or Safari.

I don't think it's an excessive focus on BTC technology, so much as that BTC abstracts the core issues to their fundamental essence and forces the tradeoffs on those terms, without obfuscating them. For instance, POW is extremely clear: you make a sacrifice to create blocks / mint transactions. It's almost biblical -- the game theory doesn't work without the sacrifice, and sacrifice is, tautologically, a tradeoff of one precious thing for another. All other crypto projects either want free lunch someplace, or make very different tradeoffs and assumptions.

Yes, much better to give such control to an algorithm and protocol written and controlled by a handful of engineers and mining pool owners.

And make no mistake: in a state that allows or encourages financial institutions to discriminate, you will eventually be discriminated against with Bitcoin as well. The state may not have caught up to the technology yet, but social problems can't be fixed with technology.
I think that the analogy is reasonable, mainly because both examples are the type of debts that can be serviced (i.e. repaid) anytime (unless your utilities needs to be pre-paid before you can use it, which in case it breaks down because it becomes a bought thing, not a borrowed thing). There are recommended schedules to pay them, as well as a hard deadline, but you can usually pay them early (and sometimes those early payments can be rewarded, for example by reduced interests).

Your example mainly deals with futures (a type of financial instrument), mainly because you have agreed to pay within a tight schedule, which does not allow you to service them too early nor too late. Also, you forgot that money was invented to be widely fungible (okay, you can argue if this is true in this age but I argue it's still largely is) meaning that it can be (relatively speaking) easier to convert to corn, stocks, or generators (for example), which is different from corn which is only usable to a subset of people, meaning that you can only deal with those people which needs or wants corn (for example, you cannot easily get generators with corn).
The write queue is messy but not hard as long as you are serializing all the operations. The real difficult part is conflict resolution. If you have an easy resolution model (e.g. last one wins) then I think its not too much extra work for you.
I love this thread! And what are the rules for unintended gifts?

You pay for bandwidth on AWS. In the Netflix scenario, the ISPs sitting between your service and your customers would be demanding that you pay them for using their bandwidth.

The only difference between you and Netflix is that they are AWS with all of the interconnect and overhead costs, while you get to pay a third party to abstract all of that complexity away for what is essentially a management fee.

Aleerty: Get notify of actors or artists on Cameo.com while using Netflix
The article makes good points about how stories are the best way to hold people's attention. The beginning advice about not explaining the history is a little unclear. I think it would be better to say "stick to a central topic and don't go off on tangents, unless you are going to relate them back to the central topic." What if I am interested in the history of the washing machine or the chemistry of detergent? There isn't just one type of explanation. What's the difference between tutorial instructions and conceptual coverage?

It's not about what is fair, it's about maximizing profit. And if a company can earn money from both consumers and producers, why not? This is what unrestricted capitalism is like.

IIRC there were some companies that got a slap on the wrist (it was something like Uber or a food delivery company) for charging both consumers and producers a commission, which is illegal (I don't remember the legalese term).

> ...does not satisfy my definition of democracy.

You can't just ignore the negative aspects of a system because it doesn't suit your sensibilities. Can you do the same for a system of government you're diametrically opposed to?

> Of course those that are more affected by an issue should have more of a say in it.

So you're fine with the electoral college then, right?

> Of course democracy must be founded on basic, inviolable rights. That's the whole point.

Not really. Democracy is simply a system to decide on policies that govern a group of people and there is little inherent value in it itself. It can be used to oppress just as easily as it can protect the rights of individuals living in the system. It's dependent on the voting population. Critics of democracy simply argue that it is too easy to oppress when you give individuals direct access to the power to do so.
If you think of money as corn, then of course you get a different answer. But money is not corn; it is money.

Money is not a commodity; it's a quantity of fungible tokens (plus the other stuff that makes it money). Money doesn't expire; the closest thing is tax. Yes, it's worth a different amount as time goes on, but debts are generally money debts rather than value debts.

Nothing is censorship resistant against a determined censor. If crypto sees more and more adoption, exchanges and companies accepting it will likely get pushed to implement KYC and AML just as much as banks are.

It really shows the dishonesty in crypto "innovation:" they claim "security" and "trustlessness," but it all reduces to simple human/institutional/contractual trust relationships as soon as you need to deal with anything with real-world practical value, whether that be access to games on Steam or tracking a package or whatever.

Dijon mustard is quite spicy though, but it's that "up to the nose" spiciness. Eastern European mustards are usually milder and what I had in north is more spicy in the traditional sense.

One thing that I find surprising in France, is how little variety there is in mustard in most supermarkets. Basically you have a choice of dijon mustard from 20 different brands that all taste the same and then some "old fashioned" ones.

I've seen the same pattern emerging on instant messaging and forums of various FOSS projects.

The rain of downvotes on my and your comments are very telling, sadly.
I've been shocked how consistently this improves the quality of search results.

Searching something like "get new cats to adjust to one another" on Google returns nothing but list-icle, SEO-laden crap with incredibly low information density and no mention of personal experience with the search subject from the ethereal "author" of such posts.

Adding site:reddit.com does wonders, but even just typing "get new cats to adjust to one another *reddit* " will return threads going back almost a decade with loads of suggestions, personal experience, and more.

It's not always useful (not anywhere near everything on reddit is worth being sourced) but just chucking the word reddit into search seems to be the most straightforward way to dredge up actual user-generated content that's not 100% crap.

Wish there were search engines designed to crawl more of that side of the internet and less of Google's schlocky results. I'm so sick of list-icles.
Modern production pipelines have a lot of dynamic human fueled workflows with orchestration - having a common syntax definitely helps those in the control room and operating systems and tools have a common way to exchange - especially in a remote setup. The netflix production team also has done a great job of standardizing the vocabulary across their production systems.

A lot of these ontologies depend on adoption in the organization and enforcement and without that these efforts really are show and of low utility.

I am really sorry to hear you had such a negative experience at your recent conference. Small children can definitely be a disruption under any circumstances and I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to adequately hear a presenter with boisterous children nearby.

As to your first comment, I would urge you to extend some compassion to individuals who do not or cannot stand up for themselves. An individual who has been the victim of trauma or abuse is not inherently 'mentally weak' and did not necessarily 'skip a part of growing up'.

Consider for example:

In the late 90s and early 2000s it was a common part of the gamer vernacular to use the term 'rape' in a way that was synonymous with 'pwning', '0wning', or otherwise overwhelmingly beating someone in a game. This terminology was incredibly insensitive (and psychologically damaging) to gamers who were victims of sexual assault, and many venues and gaming communities had to introduce rules to forbid its usage (alongside other epithets and hurtful language).

These rules were not intended to give victims of abuse a 'false sense of security' they were intended to raise awareness within these communities for what was considered acceptable behavior, and to educate individuals who (despite acting without malice) did not consider the potential harm they might be causing others.

Likewise, someone who is part of a marginalized group, or someone who a Code of Conduct is intending to protect, should not need to independently apply social pressure to every individual who cannot conduct themselves with civility. That is an unfair burden of expectation to place on the shoulders of few, when the responsibility belongs to us all.

While I would love to live in a world where people can behave with empathy and compassion for others, the undeniable reality is that bad faith actors will always need some explicit rules. Otherwise, they will merely hide behind the façade of "No one said I couldn't do x, it's not against the rules!'.

And yes, I believe it is 'ok if the mentally weak feel welcome', I do not believe you should need to be an emotionally impervious hero to wish to attend a social or professional gathering.

> In America, people proudly declare shopping a hobby.

In America, some subset of people declare shopping a hobby. And in the social media era, that subset amplifies that preference via their online presence.

To be clear, I’m not saying consumerism doesn’t exist; it clearly does. But if we’re going on anecdotes, I’ve generally experienced the opposite of what you describe. Not because what you describe doesn’t exist, but it doesn’t seem to play a major role in the lives of most people I come in contact with.

The wealthy people I do know don’t flaunt it, and would prefer to just live normal lives. They see wealth as a path to freedom, not stuff & things.

Social and news media both skew our perspectives on the world.
