I think you have very good points, and, honestly, I have no answer for them. I see the tension between too much/too little censorship.

And obviously, the blame is not only on FB, there is an ecosystem of websites that feed into each other. I mentioned Youtube as also having had a big role in this.

I also see their usefulness. But the damage they are doing needs to be tackled somehow. And me not having a solution does not mean there is none. Surely other, smarter people can find one.

One thing to tackle would be the algorithm and the way it feeds into this addiction. It obviously is good for FB but bad for the user. And absolutely no one says... "Gee, I so love that FB is addictive." You could get the benefits of FB without the feed that pulls you the most it can to stay.

FB could also downrank _all_ political or polarizing content (hah, came to agree with HN on this, incredible). Obviously, FB is not a place to have reasoned discussion about politics and news and things of consistence. So downgrade them in the algo, and then the self-enforcing feedback loop should tone down in this area.

It's a tough problem but one that exists and cannot be ignored.
It might make more sense to you to compare it to midlife crisis actions? E.g that guy has been looking at that car for years and today he impulsively bought it.

> the company announced the rollout of a new wage structure, including a minimum wage of $15.25 per hour

> What Winston Plywood is doing defies almost everything we have been told about wages in Mississippi — that raising the minimum wage would cripple profits, throw company pay structures into chaos, create inflation and ultimately wreck the economy.

Uh, no ... they didn't raise the minimum wage, they raised the wage that they pay. That's not the same thing at all. That's a market force, not a government intervention, in this particular case.
> But now there was no genuine possibility of renewal — in 1453 Rome had truly fallen.

I understand how different the Ottoman regime was, but they definitely used many of the already existing roman/byzantine power structures for their rule. Can one not view the Ottomans as another transformation within a continuum of the “Roman Empire”

This would be written by a scholar of the eastern empire, the focus on everything past when the capital wasn’t just Rome leads to lots of confusion.

If you focus on the city of Rome and the pieces of Western Europe under its power it is hard to say that there was not a serious decline and fall of civilization. Cities of tens of thousands or more reduced from a complex society to losing an order of magnitude of population (or gone completely) and reduction to mostly subsistence agriculture.

There are places where it’s hard to see anything but a thousand year gap from a peak in development to return to similar levels.

Another “dangerous idea” is trying to be profound by contradicting the prevailing thought, history is quite full of these kinds of overcorrections where in order to “fix” an idea the response is going off the deep end in the other direction.
Great to hear that! No plans at the moment to support larger than RAM indices - that’s the trade-off we had to make for performance.

If you look at employment rates per gender in 1950, you find surprisingly a lot women working. It is not like legend has it as if only middle class existed.

Notably, Rosa Parks employment mattered to her family a lot and loss of it caused the issues after protests.

So does Joe the plumber whom you hired to fix the sink now have rights to determine how your household is run? Does he and Jimmy the electrician (who wired up the place) get to vote on who can live in your house or what the household budget should be spent on?

It’s a full time job for many people in Eastern Europe and other places. It’s something of a weapon of modern warfare, and really quite effective. A cohesive US response could have saved at least 500k lives. As a military power we’re somewhat undefeatable, so sewing division is an alternative. Who is paying the bills?

I don't know, but I don't really read the comments here any more.

A while ago the comments were the gold, now I can't really get them. In my subjective experience, contradictory comments (to the post) became the most popular. That doesn't make sense. You can't contradict always to anything.

So HN became like any other new site: I'm skimming through the headlines in a minute, and done.
Historically, at some points in time I believe both the church and state did. The reformation is blamed in part on increasing adult literacy, and the translation of the bible into the vernacular, combined with a drastic drop in the cost of the means of production of written materials.
Nice write up! Using BPF to trace malloc/free is good example of the tool’s power. Unfortunately, IME, this approach doesn’t scale to very high load services. Once you’re calling malloc/free hundreds of thousands of times a second the overheard of jumping into the kernel every time cripples performance.

It would be great if one could configure the uprobes for malloc/free to trigger one in N times but when I last looked they were unconditional. It didn’t help to have the BPF probe just return early, either — the cost is in getting into the kernel to start with.

However, jemalloc itself has great support for producing heap profiles with low overhead. Allocations are sampled and the stacks leading to them are recorded in much the same way as the linked BPF approach:

I haven’t assumed you’ve made it, I’ve asked you what it is. That you can’t detect that from my plain language is concerning as to your capacity to parse my sentences.

But if that is what you’ve concluded, why don’t you make your point then, as opposed to jumping around it as though you’ve stated it (which you haven’t) or assuming it’s blindingly obvious (which it isn’t?) it’s a red flag when someone has the arrogance to assume that their view is so universally understood that their dismissive curt replies will suffice for what should ostensibly be an exchange of ideas
Reverse engineering a thermal printer's WiFi setup commands
That's a valid complaint but not the one I'm responding to. I wonder if they mean it can assemble the output of the C compiler though.
... I never once made that connection. Thank you.
It's a long time ago that I last wrote 8086 assembler.

The OP speaks of the assembler not freeing allocated memory, and refers to "manual calls to free". Back in the day, memory management was the programmer's responsibility; I don't know how an assembler might divine the programmer's intention.

Like, you could allocate stack memory in assembler, and deallocate it simply by returning. But heap management would be the responsibility of some library or OS (and the stuff I wrote ran on bare metal, this was before Windows).
If people will interpret you comments as being on the wrong side of the most in vogue political ideology of the moment, you will get downvoted to the lowest deeps of Tartarus, may Hades have mercy of your account.
One thing you have to remember is that tenure protects teachers against the religious activists. The religious activists are ALWAYS more motivated and numerous than any defense that teachers can mount.

This is continuous and everlasting. Things like "critical race theory" and its ilk are the current bugaboos. But the "Theory of Evolution" was there in the past. Talking about the documented historical evils that various religions promulgated always sets off the nitwits. Even teaching Canterbury Tales in English and pointing out that the priest has symptoms of syphilis will tend to rile up the local frocks.

The problem is that in 1965 talking about the equality of women and minorities was "controversial" enough that it needed to be protected by tenure. And the college campuses were definitely at the epicenter of the equality movements.

Right now, I suspect that talking about abortion needs to be protected by tenure.

I'm not sure what the right answer is, but destroying tenure is, I suspect, going to do far more damage than good--especially for progressive causes.

There are plenty of people blaming workers- I’ve heard many iterations of “we’ve got lazy people on unemployment who won’t work” or the signs at restaurants or stores saying “closed on X because no one wants to work any more”

Is lessened with the end of unemployment benefits, but saying no one partly blames workers is not true.

No one is going to buy this. It doesn't jam your voice at all. It introduces enough distortion and noise so that computer speech recognition software gets 4/5 words wrong.

Let me make a comparison. Claim: Those capchas with "type in the word you see" have an error rate of 4/5 letters when read by a computer. Yet here we are, humans, reading them just fine.

Now, if you're a conspiracy theory fake elected moon landing virus hoax person who is afraid of the government having microphones everywhere, running a keyword search on microphones placed around the park.... Still not a jammer - I'm sure whatever voice recognition software this thing confuses, the government has much better ones. Simply from the fact that most of the people they're interested in have accents so thick it's worse than some added "jammer" noise.

But to answer your question, "sounds" like they're trying to go commercial soon, because their announcement of this dirt simple product sounds like a cheap advertisement for some dick enlarging pills. meanwhile, your phone speaker can make sonic sounds since they support a sample rate of over 44khz. So can your computer.

here you go. you can google and download some files to play too.

I read that part as the assembler itself never freeing memory during its work assembling. The assembled program can do whatever including using the stack and manual memory management.

I don't think the parent was proposing reinventing the wheel, Python has straightforward process parallelism support in the 'multiprocessing' library and for Python that's generally a better idea than GNU Parallel, IMO.
DX-Ball 2 (and Jump 'n' Bump, an unrelated game) introduced me to MOD/tracker music. It indirectly led me to the demoscene, game modding, and probably accelerated my career. I've been listening to DustRaiders, Seasons, and Elemental since :) I wonder what modern games are currently inspiring the next generation of technologists? Minecraft, perhaps? Valve franchises? Valve in particular seems pretty on board with modding tools, what with the steam workshop, their welcoming attitude towards Black Mesa, etc.

Well, in this case it's cost of living. I can only speak for some of Europe. Shit is going up in price (and it doesn't seem to be slowing down). Wages are going up, too.

Ultimately a bit useless, the poorest are still more fucked by CoL than they're helped by higher wages.
I'm all for increasing the FAA budget so they can do their jobs better. I think that's a net positive for the industry.

What I was saying with my previous comments was that giving the current budget levels, it doesn't help to shuffle people around (without some strong assumptions on the process, which in my experience rarely are true in practise.)
While you probably aren't using B+-tree indexes like databases, can you use a setup like them were you can create a "paged" data structure and use some buffer pool to bring pages in and out?

Mathematical notation can be a bit odd and often not wholly consistent. Wikipedia has a good page that lists mathematical notation which can be helpful while you're reading a paper.

Whether RWD is fine in the winter depends on where your engine is :). It is mostly about weight distribution. With front engines, FWD cars have much better traction on a slippery surface. The classic Beetle on the other side did have a rear engine and thus had good traction. This is also the reason, RWD has a huge come-back with electric cars. They don't have heavy engines, their weight distribution mostly comes from the battery which results in a perfect 50:50 between the axes.

Using Arch as a server can be a headache. Just today I updated a Arch VM running postresql. Postgresql needs to previous version present to do the upgrade. I had actually skipped a version (11 to 13) so Arch no longer had version 11 in the repos and old packages had broken dependencies.

I ended up just installing the Nix package manager on the system. I started a shell with Postgres 11 & 12 both present to do one upgrade. Then I used another shell with 12 & 13 to do the final upgrade. It took like 10 minutes vs the hour I had spent trying to rollback packages on Arch.

My point was more meant to be that it's extremely rare, not that it doesn't ever happen. Do people partially specialize templates? I'm sure yes, it happens from time to time. Lots of things happen from time-to-time depending on the mix of the team & the problem domain. If you picked a random team/codebase, how many do you think are carefully optimizing partial template specialization? Moreover, what tools even exist to let you profile the contribution of a missing specialization and measure the impact of your change? Not sure how .o build caching relates to partial template specialization though.

With regards to your specific experience, I don't know that I'd say that Clearcase, HP-UX or aCC are main-stream professional C++ development environments. I think for that you're really looking at clang, gcc, & msvc with icc being a distant fourth that has itself moved to clang recently. The primary target OS would either be server Linux, Android, macOS, iOS with maybe FreeBSD picking up the slack. HP-UX has a niche but it's a small niche comparatively in terms of $ spent on developers in that ecosystem. In terms of source control, everyone is mostly on git or mercurial. Anyone not just refuses to get with the times because they have bought into their existing tool expertise but don't know how to adapt.

The author describes using eBPF to trace malloc/free refs as a solution to the program properly freeing all heap objects before exiting, which was enlightening to me. Would it have been possible to issue a kill -9 to the program in the middle of execution while using valgrind to see this info as well? Or is it more to the point that eBPF is cleaner and allows you to see many more snapshots of memory allocations while the program is still running?
