I'm an ex-rower in my 40s and my usual cardio workout these days is 10km at about a 2:05 pace. Lately I've been watching Breaking Bad episodes during each workout, it's about the right length and a nice distraction!

Sometimes I do a 5k at about 1:55 instead. Between that and weight training, trying to build back my endurance before doing 2k sprints again. Maybe I'll get back on the water next year.

> I'm continuously mystified, now that unsafe memory management has been unambiguously shown to be the major factor in vulnerabilities, how safe memory management is still not recognized as the highest priority

It is very straightforward to recognize the reason for this as soon as you realize that vulnerabilities themselves almost never have the highest priority either. Therefore, preventing them also can't have the highest priority.
As long as Tesla can grow at or around 50% a year all those numbers you are using are useless. They will be halved every year from the current level.
Yeah right now its seems crazy, and it is a unbelievably high valuation. But its more a sign of things to come.

The other OEMs are laden with debt, which Tesla doesn't have so any comparison there would be at the EV level which doesn't make Tesla look that out of line considering it is about to overtake in 3-4 years most of the companies it is compared with. Also that debt the other OEMs have, was used to build ICE factories and technologies which are quickly becoming outdated.

If and its a rather big IF I'll grant you that Tesla manages to achieve what they aim for which is 20 million cars in 2030, thats effectively 1/5 market share globally. Add into that the energy storage, charging network, solar roof tiles, AI and FSD.

However any signs of growth weakness or interest rate changes will wreak havoc for sure.

Even if Tesla falters, the other LICE OEMs are destined to fail, maybe 1-2 survives (GM/VW), the cat is out of the bag and what looked like a totally entrenched industry has been blown wide open by Tesla, and loads of other startups are following through.

That's my point. The US (and other countries) systems are superior because at least there is some mechanism to put a stop to it. In China there isn't - as you said it's official policy.

Yes. Tor is correct and Facebook is wrong. I said it. Other people might say otherwise, but I'll say they're wrong. (and they are)

In societies it is normal to have disagreements.

What people do is discuss the issue and potentially reach an agreement. Maybe this will become a law somewhere. Maybe it will go into the Universal Declaration, and most countries will implement it. Maybe not. After becoming a law, people will either follow it or not. If they sort of break the law, a judge or peers will decide if they need punishment. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Who knows.

Well, this was terrifying for someone not usually exposed to things like that. It's scary how you can slowly loose perspective in life (the only thing that can help you out of the addiction).

This resonates too much. Not that I suspect drug addiction for any of my childhood friends, but I really have no idea what they're struggling with. If nothing else, this article helped me to see this.
Since when was the discussion purely feature films? Our little studio can't afford racks full of Xeon CPU renderers, so we do as GP said, using redshift, etc. and just have a ton of GPUs.
TBH I just liked the number 9. Subtle Beatles reference I guess. But the model also reflects the process of falling in love with an artist or an album, meaning the payout to the artist goes up the more I repeat listen.

Monterey seems to have fixed audio stutter I was constantly experiencing on Bluetooth headphones (AKG Y500). On BigSur every time the headphones reconnected I had to reset the Bluetooth module - btw, the reset option seems to be missing in Monterey.

So that's a big improvement in my book.
I think the taste is not necessarily a hydroponics issue, but moreso a market issue. Dutchies choose unblemished pristine tomatoes, these strains are just watery by default. I can't even find heirloom tomatoes around here.
There are obviously different people doing this stuff than original GNU coreutils people.

I'd be very wary to try to contribute anything to old GNU project like that, since despite having right licensing ideas, they attract the biggest assholes. This might be another reason why different people are doing rewrites.

It could happen to me too since I always put my phone in airplane mode when hiking: I really don't want to be bothered by notifications, or unsolicited calls while I'm enjoying nature.
It seems to me, the question is, how do we assign probabilities to the existence of life. One way I can imagine is the following. We think of the universe as a classical system, then there is a phase space for the entire universe. Now we can look at each trajectory through phase space and classify it as either having or not having life at at least one point. Then we can obtain the measure of the set of trajectories classified as having life. With this view it seems at least possible that life could have measure zero even though it does not seem likely to me and there might even be [non-]obvious reasons why the set could not have measure zero. I am not sure how the argument would change if one would try something similar but with a quantum mechanical instead of a classical description of the universe.

EDIT: Additional thought and I might be totally wrong because of a lack of mathematical understanding. Pick a point on a trajectory classified as containing life and perturb it in a way such that it only affects parts of the universe far away from life. Then all trajectories through the perturbed points would also still be classified as containing life. But I think the resulting set of trajectories would still have measure zero because we allowed only perturbation far away from life.

So to grow a single trajectory classified as containing life into a set of trajectories classified as containing life of non-zero measure would require being able to pick a point on the trajectory and perturb it in all dimensions and still have all perturbed trajectories classified as containing life. Seems possible but not obviously so to me.

I think the point being made is that Tor is using the word privacy here where anonymity would be, in their case, much more correct. My view is that privacy gives them a better emotive spin (as witnessed elsewhere here).

"Anonymity is a human right" is much more likely to be questioned.
This post is victim blaming 101.
In my opinion it's the most important and the most neglected one. General population doesn't care because it doesn't understand how does the Internet and related technologies work and "has nothing to hide". So legislators don't care much either and violate it routinely.
I don't think there is something inherently bad about social media. I mean Tv / Radio sped up the time from an event to when people hear about it - and the first time people here is when people shape their perception of the event.

Hence if your side of the story is out at the same time as the news of the event, you get a good chance of shaping people's perception of the event.

If you wait a week, day or hour, it may be too late.

I am not sure it is good bad or other. Maybe it does not matter to you that millions hear one side if the "right" people hear your more considered side. (perhaps we call that lobbying)

Speed has meant it's harder to get a considered reaction. But then again, by middle age most things in the world are either things we have seen before so have an instant reaction, or frankly are not worth reacting too.

In this case it slows down understanding of the headline. The plural noun "rescuers" is closer to the pronoun. It is only after one has tried that reading that one recalls that, oh, yes, much of the press wants to use "they" as 3rd person singular pronoun.

A family friend just got an increase from their electricity provider to 0.44€/kWh due to increased costs of gas and coal. Assuming 18kW/100km (including charging losses) that's 8€/100km. Not very far from gas prices at the moment.

I agree that complex bit hacks makes code less readable and should be avoided. But that's not necessarily what we're talking about here. Most common uses I see of shift operators tend to do the opposite: they make what you are doing more explicit when you do bitwise operations.

If flipping the Nth bit inside an integer or a byte array is an "advanced" technique, unfit for "application programmers" then I'm not sure I want to work with "application programmers".

Check all the months. Tesla usually delivered them all in the same month/quarter as far as I'm aware.

It leads to a misleading number if not averaged over the other months.

> Normally, Tesla would deliver only a handful of cars during the first 2 months of a quarter and then deliver an incredible amount of cars during the last month a quarter.

"San Francisco area households paid an average of 26.3 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity in September 2021." [1].

The standard Model 3 has a 50kWh battery, so the cost is roughly $13.

If you charge between 23:00-07:00 the cost is reduced to $7 [2], though presumably that incurs the cost of installing an extra meter. It would be $9.50 sticking with a single meter for house + car.

(For what it's worth, in Denmark the lowest I'm charged is currently double the night rate for PG&E, although the peak day rate is similar. It varies depending on demand and how windy it is forecast to be [3]. But petrol is $2.10/L, so the other commenter's 100L car would be $210 to fill — though at 12.5L/100km, it's pretty inefficient. New vehicles in the US use 9L/100km, in the EU new vehicles average under 5L/100km.)

The machines that contain the M1Pro and M1Max, aka the new MacBook Pros.
Kind of. Unix was originally written in assembly. B was then created to write some user land applications but it lacked some features that the PDP-11 supported and thus it was slow. Eventually as those features were added that language was re-invented as C. However it wasn't until Version 4 when the Unix kernel was rewritten in C. Which is still very early in Unix's time line but certainly after the creation of Unix.
That seems like a lot of laptop for sub-$1000! Where did you buy/spec it?
I wish they had went for a design that scaled down better with the Mac Pro. It's an amazing machine and it's great for professional video production which is it's reasons d'etre but it would have been nice if it scaled down well enough for software engineers. Sort of like how the old G5 did, it was an "pro" machine, rather than a "professional video editing rig".
I believe in this case it's indeed useless as a set of rules. If we'd call it as it seems to be, a "suggestion", we could say it has some purpose.
Unfortunately not. Judging security is actually really hard! But CVSS is essentially a useless number in every sense, and number of CVEs is not directly useful because different OSes get different amounts of attention. My hobby OS is not infinitely more secure than Linux just because it has no CVEs, for example. On might thing that "mitigations" or "vendor approachability" could be used, but they are only part of the story and have their own problems: some software (not saying which…) is known to just glom on "mitigations" without abandon that don't actually help. And, while rarer, there are vendors who respond appropriately to bug reports but fail to ever actually meaningfully improve security.

Really, the best way to judge security is to ask security researchers: they break the software, they're at the forefront of what it takes to do this and what kinds of things the software is doing to keep them out. They'll tell you which things work and which don't, and how "serious" a vulnerability is (assuming it's not one they found, because they're not immune to bragging :P). In general, across the modern OSes, there is no "one" OS that is more security on every front. Windows has its own issues in subsystem X, Linux is broken in responding to Y, etc.
I spent some time trying to figure out why the lock-free read/write implementation is correct under x86, assuming a multiprocessor environment.

My read of the situation was that there's already potential for a double-read / double-write between when the spinlock returns and when the head/tail index is updated.

Turns out that I was missing something: there's only one producer thread, and only one consumer thread. If there were multiple of either, then this code would be more fundamentally broken.

That said: IMO the use of `new` in modern C++ (as is the case in the writer queue) is often a code smell, especially when std::make_unique would work just as well. Using a unique_ptr would obviate the first concern [0] about the copy constructor not being deleted.

(If we used unique_ptr consistently here, we might fix the scary platform-dependent leak in exchange for a likely segfault following a nullptr dereference.)

One other comment: the explanation in [1] is slightly incorrect:

> we receive back Result* pointers from the results queue rq, then wrap them in a std::unique_ptr and jam them into a vector.

We actually receive unique_ptrs from the results queue, then because, um, reasons (probably that we forgot that we made this a unique_ptr), we're wrapping them in another unique_ptr, which works because we're passing a temporary (well, prvalue in C++17) to unique_ptr's constructor -- while that looks like it might invoke the deleted copy-constructor, it's actually an instance of guaranteed copy elision. Also a bit weird to see, but not an issue of correctness.

A physical dependency is not a requirement nor is it necessarily that strong of a motivator for continued use. Psychological dependency is often the harder thing to break. Addiction is defined by continued, compulsive use despite negative consequences in one's life.

And sure, most people don't say "I want to drink forever" when they have their first drink. But that's my point, most people don't say that when they get opioids - remember they are very widely used in medicine. Some small fraction of users actually spiral into a deep addiction.

Now, one could argue the percent that develop a problem is larger than with alcohol - that might be true. That said, it's estimated something like 10% of drinkers have "problems" with their drinking. Again, not everyone ends up a homeless drunk - plenty of functioning alcoholics.
The M1 Max / Pro is likely faster in every way compared to the $1000 laptop you bought, mostly by significant amounts.
I don't think it's much different in Europe? E.g. the German car industry has good lobbyists in Berlin, they were probably lobbying against speed limits on the Autobahn, and also against stricter emissions tests: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/24/uk-franc...

Maybe the difference is that Podesta is "freelance" and can be hired by anyone (like Huawei did here), but maybe the car industry lobbyists are also close to politics, we just don't know their names...

Yeah I kinda balked at the "figure out 100% of the requirement up front" statement. That's usually how I define waterfall development.

I like to go fast and make a test build to show someone else and get feedback. Cause I know one person can never see the whole picture. Code is a conversation. This is the essence of Agile (not the Agile that paid management consultants teach).

16 new Window bands (layers) is excessive. "Activate Windows" and Cortana each get their very own.

To be honest, I think this is better for Apple users at this point.

Even accepting your opinion on Fauci for a moment, the difference is that Bolsonaro's deception in these specific videos is a direct danger to millions of people right now.

Deceiving or misleading the public is never acceptable, and Fauci did make some errors of judgement. In practice we often give a pass to those who's views align with our own to some degree or other. Nevertheless, some deceptions are a lot more dangerous and can have lethal consequences for a lot more people, for far grubbier and selfish reasons than others.
