I can’t imagine it’s an O2 vs O3 thing unless a compiler enables “fast-math” optimization to allow associativity. Neither clang nor GCC do this (neither does MSVC I think) - optimization levels never silently turn off IEEE754 floating point. I don’t know about ICC but it sounds like they stupidly enable fast math by default to try to win at benchmarks.

Do you have anything to actually support this statement or did you just assume “overly aggressive optimizing compilers” and “O3” are somehow linked?

Generally optimization levels may find more opportunities to exploit UB, but they do not change the semantics of the language, and all languages I’m familiar with define floating point as a non-associative operation because it’s not when you’re working with finite precision.

TLDR: Don’t use volatile unless you really know what you’re doing, and unless you know C/C++ really well, you probably do not. If anyone tells you to throw in a volatile to “make things work”, it’s most likely cargo curling bad advice (not always, but probably).

Only 2 weeks? I work on a program at a Fortune 500 that is VERY reliant on tribal knowledge. Critical people take 2 week vacations at least once a year, we just grit our teeth and do our best to fill the gaps until the given SME returns.

At the end of the day the company has to be willing to make the investment in adequate documentation and training backups.

> I don't think it's that complicated or nefarious. Law enforcement are humans just like us, mostly trying to do their jobs with as little effort as possible. Encrypted communication makes their jobs harder in some cases, so they don't like it.

I completely agree. My point was not that their motives are inherently evil per se, just that they're as self-centered as anyone and carefully gazing deep into our navels does not imbue their perspectives with extra validity or compelling strength.

> I don't think we can know this.

We do know that the FBI routinely arrests and prosecutes people, even ones that use encryption. There's no end of public sources showing it occurring again and again. The fate of Dread Pirate Roberts is a good example.

> Or maybe you have some data?

What data would you like? The FBI has statistics available going back to the 1930s: https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr

> Having the content of specific communications can make a big difference in actually proving guilt.

You're absolutely right, it definitely can be! Which is why the FBI has learned how to both build cases without such things. They've also learned how to gain access to encrypted communications. Between the two, some might opine that it's enough to raise questions about if they really need to prevent you and I from having access to cryptography or not. They're clearly experts at law enforcement and perhaps have no need to confiscate the tools of mathematics from technologists.

Which brings me back to the point. Let's look hard at our viewpoints and biases and expertise and paychecks and ask ourselves - why does the FBI want us to not have encryption? Why do we want it? Who has the valid view points here? What have we gained from this navel-gazing?

I was so disappointed after spending like 12 hours watching this film to it ending without telling the complete story. Never mind the Part 1 title card at the beginning. I just assumed they were going to expand upon the story not cut it into pieces. Then to find out that they didn't already green light the rest of the story being made. WTF? Who does this in today's movie universe? We get the full story approved to make or we take it to another studio. Right Mr. Jackson?

> Why do they need to be closed?

Likewise, why do they need to be open? Closed or open is just a state anyway, since the issue is still there.

The fact that it's closed at least makes it clear that we won't deal with that issue (why we won't is explained in the template when the user creates the issue). If it stays open, we also won't dealt with it, but it will give the wrong impression that we might, some day.
> If a user reports a legitimate bug, it lies on the maintainer to act on this information. If the maintainer ignores the bug and makes other random changes to the code, it still is the maintainer’s responsibility to fix the bug

This mentality is what prevents me from open sourcing most of my for-fun projects. The fact that there is people that as soon as I publish my code in Github, and someone finds it useful, they will put me as "responsible" for fixing whatever bug is affecting someone else.

In my view, if I were to open source some of my code, it will be on an "as is" basis. If someone gets my code and burns his house, it is not my problem. I do my code to scratch my own itches, and don't really agree with catering to some 3rd party entitlement over some free text I share on the internet.

> anyone needs a college course to be taught that lying is wrong.

I think the moral issues around a lot of tech is more than just "lying is bad" - to conflate it to that means that subtler moral issues will go unnoticed.

What are the moral issues people have with advertising? Is it that lying is wrong? No, I don't think so. What are the moral issues people have around the rentier structure of modern "App stores"? Likewise, it's not just about lying.

I also can't tell if your comment is suggesting that this moral breakdown is a break from the old, or a continuation. Most of the historical evidence seems indicative of a continuation.

I mean.. data, right? I'm trying to learn about CRDTs for complex, nested data structures. The use cases are for.. well, nested data, anything you'd use BTree's and etc for over distributed systems.

A big thing i'm currently learning with them is to write a content addressable system with a more forgiving merge policy between parties.

Yea i often see people nitpick CRDT about user intention, and where it should be `ADBC` or `ABCD`, but in my case i'm focusing on multi-device, not multi-user - and even in multi-user it's still best-in-breed when you are designing away from centralization.

I'm still struggling to learn the more complex approaches to CRDT. So many resources focus on the low hanging fruit of CRDT. Grow counters, basic text editing, etc. I need to build the full suite of data structures; maps, sets, lists, etc.

I've read the novel several times over the years, and watched both he 1984 Lynch production and the mini-series several times each. IMO, the new movie is better than both previous screen adaptations. It follows the book pretty closely, only omitting some details, and not adding any McGuffins or other needless new plot points (coughweirding modulecough).

I certainly have my nits to pick. But, they are truly nits. Friends have reported non-Dune fans (never read the book or watched other adaptions) can get a bit lost, particularly children. But, my wife and I loved it and hope part 2 gets procured in a timely manner.

> EDIT: Just to add a little bit to this reply. Using your example, counting the number of cars on a highway is clearly surveilling the group of highway goers. This could perhaps allow you to note that one demographic travels more on Sunday than another, or that a remote farmer himself was out for groceries last Tuesday.

Analogies suck, don't use them: 13038042-A0D5-4E76-8964-AF27B0EAD352 travels more on Sunday than others, and BD1DC4FD-2D17-44E3-91CF-198403C5E2B4 was out for groceries last Tuesday.

I loved the Lynch version. I wonder if this one will be even better?
I have implemented a CRDT system and have also blogged about it afterwards. So I can confirm this.

Joking aside though, CRDTs are still a pretty esoteric space and all the various blog posts came in handy when I was researching how to build my own CRDT.

Most of the resources I've seen on CRDTs are from whitepapers and those can be difficult to read if you don't have a math background. I gave a talk at a Papers We Love [1] explicitly because I found the academic papers a big turn off from many people interested in the space.

That article says that the M1 Max CPU TDP will be ~30W. The 90W figure is for the whole chip, which includes the GPU. The Xeon is just the CPU.

> here's that Xeon beating that 11090HK.

The CPUmark figure is 24092 for the Xeon, versus 23549 for the i9. That's a difference of about 2%. I suspect it's mostly down to statistical error. (Maybe it's also true that the Xeons tend to be put in systems whose other hardware is faster; I can see that going either way.)
And it goes well beyond technology, I’ve long felt that the biggest problem with income tax wasn’t the tax itself but the audacity that anyone needed to know what my private income was, let alone to treat me differently under the law based on my income.

The 4th amendment was penned back when you would have had to physically search my house or business for paperwork to learn anything about my financial books, I really believe that the original authors intended for me to mind my own business and the government and everyone else to mind theirs.

Freedom was free agency to exist and thrive in the land, unmolested and protected from encroachment from others by the government, rather than being a subject of the nation and a pawn of the government.

Taxes were something taken at ports during import/export, now not only is the representative system turned upside down but the federal tax collectors have turned inward.

The federal government was suppose to be an entity of management for external foreign relationships and mediation between states, now it’s getting close to mandating individuals to which private bathrooms they are allowed to invade.

I wish github made it easier to seperate issues into different tabs -- while I can tag issues, by default you click on the 'issues' tab and see 100 (or 1000) issues, sorted by date.

As you say, issues are bugs (which often need fixing ASAP), feature requests, general requests for help, etc. etc. It seem very hard to stop issues piling up to the point where you lose control out of them on any github project.

Equal opportunity not equal outcomes is a huge red herring when talking about equality.

Most public places used to have bathrooms which anyone could walk into but no one could easily roll into on a wheelchair. That was equal opportunity.

Nowadays many places have been mandated to have bathrooms such that anyone who uses the space can access a bathroom without difficulty. That is an enforced equal outcome.

Again, read OPs post. These "conservatives" are attempting to co-exist on sites that end up predominantly featuring nazis. The first suggestion you saw when signing up for the site was "hitlerwasright" closely followed by racist slurs.

If conservatives want to stop being lumped together with nazis and racists they need to draw a line in the sand. You can't co-exist on the same site without being equated with them. This is why reddit has also cracked down on incels, creepshots, thedonald, and other questionable subs. This is why chan sites are considered toxic cesspools. If conservatives can't exist without distinguishing themselves from people who support racial genocide then they're going to fade into irrelevancy.

This is true of any ideology... for example there's a fair amount of infighting amongst feminists when trans women are excluded. There's a feeling that trans-exclusionary feminism defies the basic tenets of feminism and puts the entire movement at risk... conservatives should be more outspoken about the nazis and racists that claim their ideology is one in the same.
