> I'm sure most people think to themselves "I'm sure if the papers were legitimate then that person would be in jail, there must be something else going on". When you codify the system entirely, and people buy into it, then someone submits papers recognized by the system to be authentic that prove someone is guilty of a crime, it's much more likely there will be enough pressure to take action in that case, because then people are thinking more along the lines of "those legitimate papers proved they're guilty, why are they still not in jail?"

Or people think to themselves "well, the papers are authentic but the meaning is open to interpretation" or "well, it's not such a bad thing" or "well, but the others are doing worse", or a myriad of things. All of those are real arguments I've seen made.

It is naive to think that you can codify everything into a system in a way where there's no open interpretation possible. It is naive to think that people will trust the system instead of what they heard the system says, or that people will trust the system over leaders, or the the people responsible for enforcing the system decisions and feeding the system information won't find a way to elude responsibility.

In general, it is naive to think that the problem of corruption, which is a problem about trust (if the person I like says he didn't do it or did it for a good reason, then I trust him above all else), enforcement (the ones responsible for enforcing the rules are the ones breaking them) and tolerance (people don't care that much about corruption if it doesn't harm them) will be fixed by a solution that at most will help a little bit in the enforcement part.
It's that in part. Here are some of my additional observations and or guesses.

They invested a lot of time adding language features with compiler and runtime support to avoid e.g. heap allocations/copying, like Span<> and friends, (readonly) ref structs, in/ref/out parameters (ref and out parameters existed before but were used a lot less in the runtime), or ValueTasks to some degree. This in turn enabled a lot of potential for optimizations in the compiler (aside from essentially writing an entirely new bytecode compiler with Roslyn and entirely new JIT with RyuJIT, throwing out the crufty old compilers), in the general runtime, and in the specific runtimes/frameworks e.g. ASP.NET. Those optimizations have to be implemented first however, and more and more get implemented with each new version.

I have a project I maintain that sees an almost 50% speedup from net48 to net5, and another 10-15% speedup from net5 to net6 (based on the time it takes to run the extensive test suite). It isn't even that compute heavy. From profiling it appears that a lot of these speedups are due to internal copies of data being avoided, and a lot of additional fast-paths in the runtime (e.g. fast-paths for byte-arrays or character-arrays as opposed to taking the generic array slow paths).

Another thing of note is that they added a lot of `bool Try*(..., out result)`-style APIs meant to avoid exceptions and the associated handling, and switched a lot of internal code to use these functions. E.g. in the reference source of the net48 runtime I think there are still a lot of instances of

try {
var number = int.Parse(value);
}
catch {
// slow path/error path
}

instead of the new-idiomatic .netcore and later style of

if (!int.TryParse(value, out var number)) {
// slow path/error path
}

try-catch was/is slow-ish, and throwing exceptions is too, aside from it preventing inlining by the JIT a lot of times.

And while #nullable (source annotations for what is nullable or not) and associated annotations such as MaybeNullWhen() had no direct influence on how the compiler could optimize, it probably helped people a lot writing correct code and as a side effect a lot more code became compile-time provable non-nullable which enabled further optimizations e.g. generating code that skips redundant null checks.
One SQL query going over the network will so dominate any micro-optimizations in the framework that it's a little silly for most of us to listen too closely when the ASP.NET team says they've sped up request processing another 40%. If JSON parsing request bodies and reading headers are significant, an API generally isn't doing very much.

People can catch covid more than once AND you can still transmit it when vaccinated. What leads you to believe herd immunity is even possible?
Absolutely. But I suggest learning it a couple of days beforehand just to know the tooling and the language enough to get started. A cold start with AoC is quite hard.

When I was 10, I did the Centurian race (100 miles) with Peter Stewart.

I had my dad's old Raleigh 10 speed.

Peter had this hulking Schwinn.

I was older than Peter, and probally had 30 lbs on him.

On our first accent, Peter broke down, and wasen't sure about going on.

Peter was the smartest guy I have ever been around, and valued his imput.

We decided to go on. We both got into a rhythm. We would drink out if garden hoses. We forgot about carrying water.

We actually actually it. We looked at each other and said, "We are the first ones?".

No---the real bike riders finished, got drunk at the picnic, and went home.

We both looked at each other, and said never again. We will ride, but not a 100 miles in one day.

Not a great comparison. A researcher does not work for a company, a researcher is basically a mercenary; they'll go where the money is. If a company pays too little relative to its peers, or fails to pay out too often due to fine-print in the T&Cs, researchers will go elsewhere. That's a serious loss for Microsoft given the kinds of vulnerabilities and their impact that a researcher can find if they're focusing on your platform.

A glimpse of artistic rendition of how plain and "bureaucratic" a mass murder machine could be is a historic re-enactment movie "Conspiracy" [0] about Wannsee conference of 1942 (it is about Nazi Germany not USSR but the theme of "murderous bureaucracy" seems to be universal).

Or in my experience, most of the time a service's latency is dominated by out-of-process calls, e.g. the time taken to talk to other services over http, or to retrieve data from a data store. Speeding up the runtime is welcome, but even a massive 40% speedup of something that constitutes 10% of your total latency is ... closer to a 4% reduction in latency. Design matters more.
Unfortunently, after looking at the .net core implementation of this benchmarks, I wouldn't trust it at all.

They keep talking about HTTP message and then they say:

> Applications use HTTP in a wide variety of ways, and may disagree on whether a particular piece of information in a message (e.g., the body, or the Date header field) is relevant.

And further down they say:

> For example, an authorization protocol could mandate that the Authorization header be covered to protect the authorization credentials and mandate the signature parameters contain a created parameter, while an API expecting HTTP message bodies could require the Digest header to be present and covered.

So to me it sounds like when the body is important, include a hash digest of it, and then include the digest header in the set of headers to sign.

Earlier they also explain why you can’t simply sign everything all together:

> HTTP permits and sometimes requires intermediaries to transform messages in a variety of ways. This may result in a recipient receiving a message that is not bitwise equivalent to the message that was originally sent. In such a case, the recipient will be unable to verify a signature over the raw bytes of the sender's HTTP message, as verifying digital signatures or MACs requires both signer and verifier to have the exact same signature input. Since the exact raw bytes of the message cannot be relied upon as a reliable source of signature input, the signer and verifier must derive the signature input from their respective versions of the message, via a mechanism that is resilient to safe changes that do not alter the meaning of the message.
I think you misunderstood the parent commenter. He said that he hasn't programmed much in C, but that doesn't mean he hasn't done much programming altogether. He's wondering why you ever felt that programming in Linux meant you had to use C. Many of the Linux APIs are written in C but there are wrappers for countless other languages, no?

Many Linux people like to use Python, for instance. Unfortunately, it's a slow language for all sorts of incidental but hard-to-fix reasons. This has led people to look for alternatives. I think Go is increasingly used as an alternative, but it lacks features like operator overloading which are a necessity in certain areas. There's JVM languages like Java, Kotlin and Scala as well. Nim is up-and-coming. Some people use functional languages like Haskell and Common Lisp. C++ is widely used but not much loved.

People have raised these concerns. I have personally raised this concern directly to RMS at one of his conferences.

It gets ignored.

I believe it is for the same reason religions ignore issues.

The FSF totally acts as a religion. The church of his Gnusance St. Ignutiutus. And just like religions it pretends to hold an ethical position while making compromises for practical reasons.

Compare religions claiming:

- Killing is bad, unless it's about opponents in war.
- Slavery is bad, unless it's outsiders who are slaves.
- Blobs are bad, unless they are stored on chip flash.

The FSF gets criticized precisely for this hypocrisy. And just like religions ignore criticism about their inconsistencies so does the FSF.

You'll want to know how to open and read a file, parse input (generally line by line, splitting each line on spaces), get familiar with data structures such as the dictionary/hash map and how to use the OCaml version. Not that you'll be competing for the leaderboard; this is more about getting familiar with the typical things for solving each problem.
>I doubt Tesla managed to game GlassDoor but no one else has.

Uh, gaming GlassDoor is pretty common practice. A not-insignificant number of companies tie either carrots (small bonuses) or sticks (a condition of continued employment) to employees leaving artificially-positive reviews on GlassDoor. It tends to be symptomatic of the same sort of environment where illegal union-busting tactics would be totally normal.

This is the source used by wikipedia : [PDF] https://ia801705.us.archive.org/3/items/biostor-3316/biostor...

On 15 November 1976, the research vessel AFB-14 of the Naval Undersea Center (now the Naval Ocean Systems Center), Kaneohe, Hawaii, was conducting oceanographic research in waters about 42 km northeast of Kahuku Point, Oahu, at about 21°51'N and 157°46'W. From 1015 to 1415 Hawaiian Standard Time the ship had de-ployed two large parachutes as sea anchors at a depth of about 165 m in water with a bottom
depth of approximately 4600 m.

Edit: Now that I read parts of the source, the only mention of that depth (unless I missed something) is the one I included in my comment. I think that people mistook the depth of the water for the depth at which the shark was caught.

Another part of the source says this (on page 22) :

Apparently, when captured, Megachasma pelagios would
have been in the upper depths (165 m) where
these euphausiids are commonest at night, and
quite possibly might have been feeding on them
when it became entangled in the parachute.

Such programs are often specially and painstakingly constructed to avoid all the commonly used language features that are inefficient. For example, in Java, user-defined data types are heap allocated and generic code boxes everything, even primitive types (an ArrayList of ints becomes unfortuately an array of pointers).

Are these programs benchmarking typical idiomatic Java, or just some subset of the language?
