This one has a tiny bit more overhead than the practical minimum you saw earlier in the benchmark. Note that APE binaries start off as shell scripts so the first run is going to be slower. It's something I'm working towards improving in a variety of ways. Here's the executive summary of the upcoming changes:

int ws, pid;
CHECK_NE(-1, (pid = fork()));
if (!pid) {
execve("ape.com", (char *const[]){"ape.com", 0}, environ);
perror("execve");
_Exit(127);
}
CHECK_EQ(pid, wait(&ws));
CHECK_TRUE(WIFEXITED(ws));
CHECK_EQ(0, WEXITSTATUS(ws));

Here's the latency of the various execution strategies:

FORK+EXEC+EXIT+WAIT │ APE │ APE-LOADER │ BINFMT_MISC
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
fork() + execve() │ 55µs │ 66µs │ 56µs
vfork() + execve() │ 25µs │ 446µs │ 35µs
/bin/sh -c ./ape (1st) │ 485µs │ 457µs │ 170µs
/bin/sh -c ./ape (avg) │ 148µs │ 466µs │ 159µs
That's really cool. I made a terrible one for SHA1 years ago, yours is 1000x better.

I read a paper at the time where someone described a tool they made to find a near-collision, they explained they were just flipping bits and visually observing the affects. That sounded kinda fun, but they didn't release it, so I tried to replicate it from their description!
I think this article is trying to have its cake and eat it too. If the sub has been sanewashed and overrun by average left-of-center opinions and become wildly popular, then how can it be true that Doreen still represents the movement? The movement changed, as the article points out, and therefore Doreen was a terrible choice of representative. The fact that she predates the change is exactly the reason she is not representative. Instead the article tries to argue opposite. I have to admit that the author appears to be doing everything possible to make me assume this is due to their partisan bias as hardly a sentence goes by without a verbal jab.
I am very fond of sarcastic humour but in this case I don't read it as sarcastic.

Fatalistic, maybe, on reflection. But in this case it's a pretty toxic addition to the discourse.
Fine tips, but only relevant to the 1% recruiters who actually look at your work. The 99% other recruiters are intimidated by GitHub, Gitlab or srt, and look only at your LinkedIn and job titles. Nobody looks at your GitHub, but when they do, you won.
I'm amazed at how much money some people have to burn on new accounts. Looking at minecraft servers, there are so ridiculously many people banned.

I've wondered if there's some sort of economy here, i.e. someone with a ton of stolen accounts monetizing them by offering to cheat all day on your competitor's server.
You can do that today, NFTs don't give you anything except memes and complexity. What do NFTs give GME that companies like Valve aren't already doing?
>I've always thought that this would take some time (i.e. DRSing the float).

Is there any expectation that the number of DRSed shares will continue to climb, rather than asymptotically approach some arbitrary number? At this point you'd think everyone who wanted to DRS their shares already did it, so for that number to increase you either have to target stragglers (not many of them), or buy more shares (I doubt folks on superstonk have enough free cashflow to pull that off).

>I do think the higher the number climbs, the harder it will be for investors and regulators to ignore.

>DRSing shares will reveal irrefutable, easy-to-digest proof that there is illegal naked shorting of Gamestop.

Like, illegal naked shorting that's happening right now? I saw in other comments that the short interest is 20% or 14%. It's pretty obvious that you don't need to do naked short selling to get that kind of short interest. Not to mention, > 100% short interest isn't indicative of naked short selling either, because the same share can be lent over and over again.
Is Apple a virtual millipede? Does it have any unshot feet left. As Marco says = GOLD.
I am sure this whole thing will rebound against Apple, as well it should.
I've had that happen to me with Coinbase, down-leveled from senior to intermediate halfway through the process (in no part due to my performance on the screen). Based on their comms, it seemed to have happened for budget reasons: they exhausted their "senior head" budget. Either that, or it was a hardball negotiation tactic (which lost them a head)

Leveling is simply a byproduct of your alternatives, not your experience or skills. I bet you that higher paying companies like Stripe/Robinhood have a more even spread, while others need to level people as senior to compete.

In my last interview bout, I've had some companies come back with senior leveling _after_ I told them I had competing offers. The blatant reality of "leveling" being tied to your negotiation prowess and not your engineering skill shocked even myself, as cynical as I am.

(Edit: I should say that I had a great experience interviewing at Coinbase, and recommend others to do the same)
I'm pretty sure the issue was more "I'm visiting my dad for the first time in months so my kids can play with their similarly aged uncles, and he's skipping our planned trip to do overtime" that he's reacting to, not the 50 hours a week regularly part.

Although his siblings are being raised by a single dad, so maybe he needs to not work on saturdays?
Good description of 'Federal Reserve' which prints money to bail out the banks it allegedly regulates.

Read the rest of my post.

The Federal Reserve Board does not get rich from this. Any benefit to them is indirect and follows the trajectory of the overall economy.

... opt out of the bankster's rigged system of debt-is-now-money

But only if you opt into the rigged system of electrons-are-now-money --- which also uses the idea of debt-is-now-money. For example, see Tether.
Dishwasher (on low temp) also works fairly well, just don't use any (or a very small amount) of detergent. I like to put about 1kg or so in the "delicates" laundry mesh bags when I have a lot of used legos to wash.

Also need to reiterate do not heat dry or use hot cycles if you go this route :)

Have you ever played Warzone? People sniping 700+ meters and they can't even see you on their screen. Obvious map hacks, aim bots, and even some hilarious shit like super speed or the ability to drive a car through walls to run you over.

Besides, it's not just a matter of improving accuracy. Elite players are elite in multiple facets of the game. Movement, general awareness, map awareness, accuracy, etc. Many of these metrics are easy to measure.

Cheaters will show up as outliers and it is at that point that their accounts should be manually reviewed.

With casual gaming I really don't even care if someone is "cheating" to improve so long as I feel the game was fair. I can put a red dot on my screen to improve my aim, as an example.
Yes, though I can't seem to do a lot about it.

I use an app to pay a small amount each month to offset emissions.

I'm vegetarian, partly due to climate issues.

I'd like solar panels, but they are expensive and won't offset my whole electricity usage.

I'd like an electric car, but currently drive a petrol car, but will change when I can.

I very rarely fly, and only once every 10 years fly long haul, though generally due to budget rather than emission based constraints!

I'd like to cut more, but it's tough to see how to make cost effective cuts.

A more jaded individual would see the introduction of elements like an NFT store to be less long term planning and more capitalizing on its new fan base which is heavily jaded with the current system and so prone to accepting opportunities to upset the market, regardless of actual merit.
Incredibly well written, interesting, and witty piece.
As a step to combat racial profiling the police here in Oslo, capital of Norway, will likely soon[1] have to give a receipt[2] if they randomly stop you on the streets, documenting who was searched, by whom and the reason for the search.

While I can see some of the objections, it seems reasonable that a temporary restriction of freedom like that gets documented.

The shift in language in culture as a whole has (in my own personal observation) been directly tied to the inability of the general populace to even understand basic logic. It also corresponds to a direct rejection in much of academia that there is such a thing as Truth.

If you "personally believe" something in today's context, then it is "true for you" and cannot be questioned.

Also, I'll just leave this here for fun:

Other posters have already said, this but you are currently in the most demanding and tough phase of being a parent. Remember you are dealing with

1)Sleep Deprivation

2)Lower Emotional, Physical and Mental Resilience due to sleep deprivation

3)Learning a new set of skills (taking care of a child) while being physically, mentally, and emotionally overloaded.

4) Supporting your spouse, who probably has all of above (probably to a much greater degree), plus a hormonal system that is completely out whack.

5)Being on the treadmill of nap/bedtimes times, pooping, diapers, feeding, and translating a lot of crying too what the baby needs.

6)New fights and disagreements at home due to all of the above.

Now is not the the time perform a rational evaluation about your career. To use an Analogy, imagine you find yourself in a burning building. Is that the right time to wonder about your career? No - you need to get out of the building first!!

Somebody already said this, but the first 2 years of a child's life are tough. The first 12 months are the worst. Even when your child reaches the point where they sleep 8 hours without feeding, that still means if they go to bed at 8 they wake up at 4 to eat. So the sleep deprivation lasts well beyond the naive definition of "sleep through the night." When your child sleeps from 8PM-6AM and you can get 6+ hours of uninterrupted sleep, that's when your mental fog starts to lift.

At least for me, I had a child soon after some major or changes in my well-paying job led to me having a horrible manager and even worse skip-level manager. It was awful because I wanted to be a good dad+husband, but dealing with my job situation almost caused an internal panic about my future. I definitely felt trapped.

What I did was basically said "Until the child is 1, forget all this job stuff. If you take your job seriously, your family will suffer. And if you are sleep deprived and cranky, you are not going to succeed at your job. Do you want to fail at your job and as a parent, or just fail at your job for a while" When my child was one, I decided to make that "Until your child is 2, forget your job crap."

I ended up taking the full FMLA unpaid, which probably harmed my career at that job. But given that I didn't like my manager or skip-level, my career was not going anywhere anyway.

When your child is 2.5, you will be sitting at a restaurant and you will be surprised to realize your child wants to eat by themselves and talk to you. At that age, some type of daycare (even just part time) is necessary for them to get the interaction they need and many people in the modern world (a nuclear household) can no longer provide. You'll start having some time and mental space.

At 33, you've got at least 30+ years left where you can choose to be an entrepreneur. Your child will be 1 year old in 1/30th of that.

Finally, one last point. Many moms don't get enough support during this time. But if a mom gets 20% of the support they need, Dads get 0. Only a few people asked my spouse how she was doing and provided emotional support. My wife was the only person who asked me how I was doing. Nobody else did.
The site itself leans left, I wouldn't call that manipulation, simply people voting on content they like.

However, you are onto something.

Being downleveled for "years of experience" is obviously silly.

There's a common adage:

You can have 10 years of experience, or 1 year of experience repeated 10 times.

I don't know the author, and it's possible that Shopify used this as an excuse because the authors talents did not meet expectations or claims: but "years of work experience" is a very poor marker for ability and experience, since years are not equal between people or roles.
The idea that the meaning of words changes along with the frequency of their usage seems pretty important to linguistic studies.

For example, it's not hard to imagine data like this being used to say that the there is "less cultural interest in political correctness due to it's declining usage in discourse" while not factoring in that "woke" has largely replaced it in the frequency of usage while often representing the same concept in the speaker's mind.

The way language and speech change is extremely complex, and I feel like an analysis that uses that time span starts to become almost worthless as anything other than a trivia fact. "People speak differently than they did 20, 50, or 100 years ago" was already pretty well understood, and the assumption that these words have inherent, immutable meaning is misrepresenting what words actually are, stand-ins and generalizations limited by the speaker's understanding of them and the audience they're spoken to.
Agreed yes, and I regularly argue that by pointing people to the definition of 'literally'.

To clarify my argument, I mean for those reading this post to either push for that change in the dictionary (the usual way: by being more clear on their definition when sing it and encouraging others to use their definition and do the same), or to stop muddying the waters (and possibly use an updated term).
It's already human verified if you require say >50% players to vote, assuming the cheater is not running a Sybil attack too.
I can’t download the pdf but PCs are 15% of global semiconductor demand and the second largest electronics end market (after smartphones). After a decade of stagnant growth, PC sales are are now 40% above pre-pandemic levels. The semiconductor industry does not operate with a lot of slack, and this sort of step-change demand in a single large end market sucks up a lot of that slack capacity by itself. Then of course you have elevated demand and improved mix of overall goods, strong corporate investment cycle, low inventories entering the pandemic, and delayed semiconductor capacity investments from the trade war / inventory downcycle in early 2019 through to late 2020…
The whole subreddit went off the rails the moment they allowed misinformation and fake stories to be kept on the front page.

The stories I was reading must have been written by teenagers, nobody in leadership does or says half the things on that sub.

One post today was saying how their manager was planning to fire them 6 months from now... NO manager does that, *ever*. If someone is not meeting expectations termination is at most 2 months away, in America anyway. Anyone who is surprised by their termination due to performance really is not paying attention. Only a person with no professional experience would make these stories up.

More than that, it is taking a decentralized tech and centralizing it. The point of this benefitting GME is because it would be a market they absolutely control (so they can get a cut of the profits). What's the point of a crypto tech in that case?
> Computers and phones are in fundamentally different categories because one has open software and the other doesn't

I have a grandparent who uses the same phone we got her a decade ago. It runs entirely on closed-source software. It works fine. Same for the Windows computer we got her five years before that. Meanwhile, my friend who runs AOSP on his phone has a new device every six months.
That’s how I read it. It just wasn’t the work he expected / wanted.
I was a kid in the 1990s, and my parents were already making the same complaints (except for the film merch one). The kits haven’t changed that much in the last 30 years. At least those for kids; there weren’t many kits for adults back then.

I hate the branded kits with a passion (Batman and the others), but thankfully there are many others available, including great ones. I would have killed for a rocket like the newer ones when I was 10. OTOH recent trains are not much better than older ones.

Taxing on street frontage occupied goes back quite a long time in France, I believe.
That's the thesis, but it doesn't really hold.

>“Some commentators have asked how short interest can get as high as it did in GameStop. Short interest can exceed 100%—as it did with GME—when the same shares are lent multiple times by successive purchasers. If someone purchases a stock from a short seller and subsequently lends the stock out again, it will appear as if the stock was sold short twice for the purpose of the short interest calculation.”

Logically a primitivist wouldn't be on board with a high-tech surgical and pharmaceutical intervention.

Or are they compatible? Some African tribes perform pretty serious cosmetic surgeries to mark tribal membership, with nothing more than knives, clay soil to pack wounds, and maybe fire to cauterize. And, I'm not sure about this, but I think female hormones may be available naturally in mare's urine.

So it may be possible to reconcile trans and primitivist beliefs.

The other option is to accept a purely semantic/spiritual solution without any actual surgery. I.e., have an identity that is socially recognized and accepted, perhaps marked by clothing and such, without direct physical alteration. That would surely be compatible with primitivism.

The big philosophical innovation that seems necessary to me, would be something that gives trans people a way to transition (a) that doesn't make them dependent on a massive medico-industrial apparatus, and (b) that doesn't force them to choose between identity and fertility.

There may be good primitive solutions.
I've had two dev jobs in my career that wound up being very different than advertised, the best I can tell is that companies will say pretty much whatever you want to hear as a candidate, but when it comes time to solidify a product roadmap, you have to be flexible.

In one case, I was hired as a back end services engineer and wound up working almost exclusively on a React SPA. In another case, I was also hired on as a back end services engineer and my team was asked to take over development of a native mobile app even though only one out of my four teammates had any iOS experience (I had none). It took our team two months to ship anything meaningful (a talented mobile team could've knocked it out in a sprint) and then it was immediately back to web work.

In the second case, I got the sense that leadership didn't really grasp how costly the context switching was for us due to not having much collective experience working in mobile (not to mention the rude awakening of having to deal with iOS dev dependencies).
An alternative viewpoint: Minecraft is Lego, and Lego isn't.

When there were fewer themed Lego sets, Lego was a sandbox. You had a mish-mash of generic pieces and your creativity. Modern Lego sets are extremely tailored, both in theme and with sets having bespoke pieces - even if you throw all of your newer sets together in a pile (which people tend not to because each is supposed to be a thing), the pieces aren't as modular, allow for less extension of your imagination.

Minecraft is blocks and what you do with them. Minecraft isn't a digital extension of Lego, it's serving the experience Lego did a few decades ago but no longer does.
I'd also wonder if their cost per part on the bigger sets is higher or lower.

I've been building the adult sets over the last few years and you're right it's a nice nondigital way to unwind. Unlike my job everything works, has a place, and is all neat and organizable.

Interestingly my mother who is retired has gotten into lego. Initially she got into it because she decided to resell all my childhood sets which were stored in a large bins. I had kept all the instructions so she just build lego sets one at a time and sold them off. It got her hooked, and now she regularly buys used or new sets, assembles, and then resells them. It's interesting to see someone get into lego rather late in life with no childhood nostalgia of them what so ever.
But that's one of the things Apple is selling - peace of mind. The customer knows they will be able to cancel subscriptions, get refunds, security, etc...

And if those are conditions the customer and developer are okay with, then everyone wins.

I agree -- easy has a price. But it's one of the benefits of the walled garden. And it's one that a lot of customers are willing to pay, just to avoid the hassles involved with other systems.

(There are other benefits and downsides, but that's another thread).
I think the problem is they knew his CV and were interviewing him for a senior role. It's a little manipulative to string him along as interviewing for a senior role when they knew up front they never would have hired him for that role.
