For anyone interested in this kind of stuff, I wrote my own Vector Virtual Machine (VVM) as part of the Empirical project [1]. It has statically-typed vector-aware opcodes. It uses register addressing (inspired by LLVM), has a linear IR, and is implemented with tricks like computed gotos.

I designed VVM to have extremely fast dispatch. It already exists on top of a vector-aware runtime, which means that a single dispatch works over an entire array. But grouped aggregations require multiple dispatches, one per unique key in a Dataframe. For example:

from trades select volume = sum(size) by symbol

I wanted to hit the runtime repeatedly with as little overhead as possible. So VVM has no type look-up, multiple operands per instruction, and a cache-efficient IR. The sum() operand for the above example is invoked directly in a loop almost as fast as hand-written C++.

VVM has its own assembly language [2]. I have blog post that explains some of the design choices [3].

Seems like governments should be funding proper studies, as they might benefit from a low cost treatment option.
The Midnight, I'm actually biased as they are my favorite band, but you should check them out they also have timeless sound.
We are paying a cost in clarity, human editability, and further splintering of formats.

Everything is a trade off. So what do we get in trade for those rather large costs?

40% bandwidth savings might be worth it. But what are the gzipped comparisons?
"OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon the popular Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features."

Yes, it means exactly this.
It is less human readable than JSON.

Human readibility is one of the most important aspects of JSON. Without that requirement you could use a binary serialization.
Ahhh, I did not (my bad) - I don't track grep features, not a hobby :) this chart could have been more truthy 2 years ago for all I know. Thanks.
Aren't these restrictions getting out of hand? There are large populous countries which have survived Covid-19 without these kind of restrictions. Canadian population is very well vaccinated and that was suppose to trigger loosening of restrictions.
The AGPL's extra source delivery clause only triggers when you modify the software, not when users interact with it.

Isn't it likely your parent has seen a lot more than you? Were you along a canal? Or perhaps those places you noticed were exceptional in the extreme. Presumably you wouldn't really know after such a short stay.

I find it somewhat insane it renames files to add tags to them by default. Though there is a "sidecar" option which stores the tags in a hidden folder at least.

Still, pales in comparison to a full-featured document management app like DevonThink which is the sort of environment where I think tagging stuff can come in handy.
Yea, I checked sci-hub.se, and that DOI is not available (because it's new).

Did you, by chance, mistake ad blocking for AdBlock - the browser extension?

42.7% of users globally use ad blockers while Adblock has 65 million users. Surely, 42.7% of users is > than 65 million.

Also, I don’t understand why you compared page views to users. It’s probably very uncommon for a user to install an ad blocker but also choose to enable or disable it on specific page views.
I've never lived somewhere where cars weren't the most common method of transportation and I've only heard about bikes being stolen. Probably because it's just so much harder to steal a car whereas you can feasibly just carry a bicycle on your back.
Doesn’t seem particularly novel - rather pointing out that it seems rather explicitly partisan already?

Oh man... where do you think Tesla got their self-driving datasets from?

Why do you think they had all those sensors in the early models without the software to use it?
Up to 4 threads I usually see linear scaling as well, but it begins to drop off afterwards, although I don't have a representative example at hand.

I'd like to see a good example if you have one available, most of my performance work was done in a single-threaded context until now
At this point it's no longer particularly newsworthy to write a car lost control and leveled three people on a bus stop. It happens all the time, it even happened on the bus stop I frequently used 20 years ago.

And bike lanes are already segregated with at least paint so that's already a signal. People just need to get used to it, which is hard initially when all you know is cars and walking.
Trying to cut through all the right to repair stuff to get to the actual ThinkPad issue... it seems that the GPU has Linux support issues because it uses PCIe in a way the Linux driver doesn't expect. But isn't that an Nvidia problem? Is Lenovo really going to work with Nvidia to make sure they have a working driver for Linux? That's asking a lot for a very small segment of thinkpad users.
Generally in all imperative solutions I've seen, there are more 'moving parts', manual updating a maximum variable, explicit iteration etc, these to me are distractions and boilerplate compared to a functional/array lang solution.

Sure, they're saying the 'same thing', but that doesn't mean both ways are equally as understandable. They're definitely not to me, and probably others too (who know array langs).
This isn't fake news. The original report was quoting police and showing all the extreme shoplifting prevention at that location. They used a second-hand quote from the Target manager, which is acceptable in every other context. A senior corporate spokesperson denied it was closing right now, allowing other news outlets to take victory laps like they've debunked some crackpot theory. It's still quite possible this Target will close in a few months and for everyone to be correct. Welcome to news reporting.
Its not exactly hard to comply with the AGPL. Just choose either to not modify the software, or if you do then link to the git repo you store the changes in.
Let’s assume you’re right. Now I think of that one product manager at Microsoft who must have approved the budget necessary to bootstrap VS Code years ago.

How did they justify the funding?
I can’t imagine them saying, “let’s do a thing and hope the devs are gonna like it.”
You pay collateral to your broker, not the counterparty.

Also, if you have margin, the broker will lend you collateral and in that case you wouldn't have put up anything from your side (apart from interest payments).

> Schema Details
JSON doesn't have built-in schema support!

seems a little disingenuous. JSON provides a name for each type of value, so there is mostly no need for the schema when viewing the data. There is a JSON Schema definition.
"6469693230": 6469693230 % 163123711 = 107868501

"%" is modulo in software it means 6469693230 = 107868501 MOD 163123711. So basicly you find out that 6469693230 - 163123711 * k = 107868501.

so you get:

(a+c) * a - (b+c) * b = 163123711*k

instead of:

(a+c) * a - (b+c) * b = 163123711

---------

so back to the formula:

(a+c) * a - (b+c) * b = 163123711*k

6469693230 - (b+c) * b = 163123711*k

we deduced that 6469693230 = 107868501 MOD 163123711

6469693230 - 107868501 = 163123711*k

---------

Okay now we morph 107868501 into (1+c) * 1

(1+107868500) * 1 = 107868501

now we look back at the formula:

6469693230 - (1+107868500) * 1 = 163123711*k

does 6469693230 have a factor pair, with the difference is 107868500?

(a+107868500) * (a) - (1+107868500) * 1 = 163123711*k?

We look at the list we wrote down. If 107868500 is in the list,than

(a+107868500) * (a) - (1+107868500) * 1 = 163123711*k

holds. If it is not in the list, we have to come up with another number like 6469693230 , with allot of factors, and the the algorithm again.
The covid one is still under emergency use authorization, and has no long term studies on side effects. It is a novel type of vaccine (mRna).

It will almost certainly become one of the regular shots everyone gets as a kid if it ends up proving safe to do so.
Personally, i don't think there's anything wrong with holding a monopoly as long as it stems from merit.

However, we are proven time after time that power corrupts. Unless there's a regulatory body to watch their every move it seems they'll abuse their dominance to maximize profits.
But why are you just using c=1? Surely you should be using different c's to make this algorithm work. Using c=1 makes your algorithm effectively identical to the vanilla Fermat algorithm.

Elsewhere you talk about selecting different possible values of c, but with no reasoning as to why this should work faster, or better, or even at all. And in cases where you choose c=something else, you don't tell us how to compute a and b, and it seems to me that they have multiple solutions, some of which are tantamount to factoring N anyway.

So I am none the wiser, and I await a proper, detailed explanation where I can follow, or even implement, the algorithm.
Glad she survived. As you say, these things are statistical, not guaranteed, but vaccination massively improves your odds.

I know of a few people who can't be older than their ?late fifties? or early sixties? that caught COVID. It was horrendous for them, despite them having the fortune to be double vaccinated.
>But do you run a lot of software that works without glibc and other userland utilities

More and more as time goes on. Most applications written in Go do not require libc. Some of my servers have nothing on them but a few Go applications, like influxdb + prometheus + grafana. Theoretically you can strip out everything but the kernel (and replace systemd with something extremely lightweight, maybe also written in Go), but mainstream distributions don't make this easy, and what's the point anyway.
It's not how many years, it a matter of how marketable the skills and experiences are. That said, it's also a matter of marketing (read presentation of you). Imagine someone else - all things being relatively - equal to you. But they are better presented. Who gets the call? Like it or not. For better or worse. Recruiters aren't going to buy something they can't sell.

More random-y thoughts:

- Two weeks isn't that long. If you were on a dating app looking for an LTR - and jobs are relationships - would you expect a match in two weeks?

- Not much of LinkedIn profile? I would imagine many recruiters can't be bothered. What about LI activity? What would a fly on the wall say?

- GitLab / GitHub profile and activity?

- Similar to GL / GH, what about side projects? Anything to show?
I have been thinking about de-googling for quite a while now, far longer than de-facebooking, but it's not as easy. Half the web depends on google services (and it's even worse with AWS) and I was considering how much pain it would cause me to block all google traffic at once. Now I don't care. Now I will try and block most of it, while still having some degree of usability, or having the option using anonymizing tools.

Example: Youtube is almost as ubiquitous as google, and some of my friends use it for good content. How can I still use it and still give google the least amount of personal data as possible, if any? It's far easier with facebook, I just don't care about it as much as with blocking google.
I've reported bugs to FF and Chrome several times because they were in things I cared about. Developers tend to care more, know that there will be a place to report bugs, know how to do it and so forth. Obviously Linux gets more bug reports.

(I use mac, the m1 is just great, but I would never go through the effort of reporting a bug to mac [unless serious security hole] because I don't care about them, and because I have the impression from having tried at one time some years ago that mac bug reporting sucks.)

If I short tether, I am borrowing tether and selling it immediately. I get the proceeds from the sale immediately.

The person who lent me the tether can be left holding the bag - I can't. That's because I, the short seller, am not owed anything but the counterparty.

It's like taking out a loan - if the bank goes bankrupt, you don't lose anything since you _still_ have the cash.
It is weird, isn't it? I like class components but with complex functionality or rather a bigger codebase functional components are much easier to work with and adding hooks later on is much easier than updating class components.

But for some reason, picking someone else's class component and working on it feels much easier than someone's functional component.

I 100% agree with the last statement, most problems feel easier to write with hooks than with class components.
Pi top is a real product
The challenge historically was in making fines actually large enough to disincentivize doing it in the future. If G made $100 billion because of this, would the gov’t be successful in getting a $200 billion fine? What if they got $100 billion in revenue, but an additional $400 billion in market cap? Is a $800 billion fine doable?

Historically, it seems like the answers to those are solid no’s, and after lawyers have argued it for a decade, the fines look more like $1 billion. Which skews things a lot.

By choice I use a bicycle exclusively for all my transport needs (with the obvious exceptions like furniture etc.), and I'd like to see more people get up on a bike regularly to help promote the people's collective health, but I can see a problem with how this particular practice is executed.

It's as though medical literature is going through the same process that the Internet did: built with the assumption of good behavior, and that good actors would swamp bad ones. That turns out to be untrue, and correcting it after the fact is much harder.

No. Everyone has shit to deal with. Being rude doesn't make anything easier. It's a fight or flight reaction, only useful if you're going to literally destroy someone or scare them away. There's no reason to do that to a customer.

Rude people are usually irresponsible. That's not a good trait but it can be acceptable. I'd buy flowers from someone who is rude, but I've turned away accountants for this.

FTA:

"Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux. The rest of them were affecting everyone - the thing is, the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs."

That's an old video promoting Unix, so I don't see what you're getting at. Unix is not a distributed OS. The web has to work over communications channels with fairly high latency, so you don't want a file-system-like interface either. If you have something specific in mind, maybe you could say what it is instead of being coy.
Tens of thousands I think is possible- The problem is we don't know the identities of those 9,999 people. If we did, I agree the opinions of those people should be given a ton of weight.
I'm skeptical of the "there's no money in it" angle. Ivermectin advocates seem to be suggesting that you take it as a preventative measure for covid - i.e., that the way to stop the pandemic is to have everyone take ivermectin. Each individual ivermectin tablet, at current levels of demand and quality control, costs a couple of dollars.

Compare that with the vaccine, which costs governments a couple tens of dollars, but people get at most four shots per year.

I agree that there isn't money in licensing the ivermectin patent, but there is absolutely a lot of money to be made in manufacturing ivermectin itself, convincing people to take preventative ivermectin, and meeting worldwide demand. And every single pharmaceutical company can play that game - not just a couple of very rich ones in rich countries with research labs capable of making their own covid vaccine. Frankly, it should be a little bit surprising that not even one of them has tried this strategy.
Based on my experiences with sociopaths, they are more than happy to Lie. "Don't be evil" is the sort of motto you'd expect a batman villan to have for their front organization.
But unless you are working in the school system, your products are not available to all. They are available to people who have the additional time/money/devices to subscribe to them. That isn't "all". It will exclude many lower incomes demographics, which are the people most in need of innovation.

Clearly, you have every right to build whatever you wish, but your marketing is going to come off as completely tone-deaf if you profess to be a "revolution in education", when running as a competitive product company.
My 2 cents, if MS control the app and store, it means no pirated office / sql server running on both servers and development machines.

Open source solutions may also meet a hindrance when they somehow collides with MS's line of business (postgres).

Theoretically Microsoft can get a cut from adobe subscription (no longer puchase, screw them too). They can also potentially force valve or epic for a fee or shared revenue, which is why steamOs are there. Netflix and spotify are also potential targets.

Then no telemetry can be published if MS said so, forcing third parties to deal somehow with MS.
