Counterexample: The IBM PC was a microprocessor system which does not do it - the BIOS runs from ROM only and sets up the DMA controller for the refreshes. No DRAM, no RAM used.

Excluding the caches, this is how x86 functioned for quite a while, i don't know until when.

Microprocessors don't require internal RAM to bootstrap, because they expose their bus and its simple to map a ROM to the starting address, which can be executed from directly.

Futex puts the thread to sleep and wakes it up. Accessing the OS scheduler requires kernel access anyway. The memory access of the flag can be done in user or kernel space.
I mean the Atlantic posted about it which is similar to the Telegraph posting about this, what standard would you like to see?

Incredible blog post. Thank you very much for sharing. Signing up now.

Also, this post makes me update my prior on top HN contributors being unproductive (i.e. that they spend their time on this board all the time instead of working).
It's a bit complicated, but:

https://build.webkit.org/#/builders/67

Click the first Build # (9399 right now)

Near the end of the list of build steps you'll see "transfer-to-s3"

Click on that (step 12 right now) and you'll find the URL for the build on s3

(Right now: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/archives.webkit.org/win-x...)

You also need to have an (IIRC old) Itunes installed for some dependencies. Run MiniBrowser.exe when you've extracted the archive you downloaded from S3.

If they change the builds (e.g. 67 isn't Win anymore) you'd look for "Apple-Win-10-Release-Build" on the Builders list.
You will find, especially after reading the comments, that fusion is not about creating electricity (it never will), it is about sparking people's imagination. Many people grew up reading science fiction and there is seriously nothing it the last 50 years that comes close to the amazing breakthroughs in the physical world that happened in the 50 years before that. The idea of fusion is the best thing going right now.

You won't be able to have a serious conversation about the pros and cons of fusion power because any serious conversation will always be trampling on people's dreams.
Safety, mostly.

I have a 2015 Colorado with a 6 speed manual, long bed, 4.10 read end, and the 2.5L 200Hp four cylinder. Probably as basic as you can get, and nobody buys them, because for like 2k more you can get a v6 and fancy electronics.

Tows 4k lb trailer fairly fine...
Agreed. I’m sort of relieved after watching videos that there isn’t a big reason to drop more for some more storage and a matte screen (and better case). And I find it promising is that the micro SD slot loads nearly as fast as the SSD. My use case is to take with me on travel and really to not have to sit in front of the computer to play games. So I’ll load some games on it but likely stream heavier games from my PC.
> All female partners have said that they don't care about my weight, and some actually like some belly to rest on. That said, they have commented favourably on other physical features, and I'm not particularly overweight.

What women say and which partners they choose in reality are 2 different things. You should always keep that in mind when discussing these issues.

This isn't meant as a critique of women, rather than of people in general. Stated and actual preferences are not the same (it seems obvious once you give it some thought, yet still has to be repeated, since some people just don't get it).
Can a smart gun that makes its own decisions commit murder?

If not, how is it different than a smart pile of meat?

Either AGI has free will and is responsible for its actions, or we don’t either.
Whoops, I forgot to mention that I'm in the US. Sounds like those would be good options for me though.
You mention a lot of statistics. If there is a point you wanted to make could you clarify it?
Is a gun imbued with faculties approaching sentience and operator-independent decision-making?
I used to like the idea of fusion energy, but practical application has always seemed to be 40 years in the future, and it's starting to sound more like 60 years now.

I hope it will be possible some day, but it's not going to help with out energy needs in our lifetime. (Unless that longevity research is going to pay off, I guess.)
1. The UI is clunkier

2. The economic model is deeper (in the default paksets, which are like TTD's GRFs). The biggest difference is that it has what was referred to in the TTD space as "cargodest" cargo is generated with a destination somewhere on the map, so to get the most cargo you need to build a bigger network.

This is not to be confused with OpenTTD's "cargo distribution" which is a somewhat watered down version where cargo only chooses from destinations already on your network, so the routes are split among all stations you connect up. In OpenTTD, even with cargodist, if you only have two stations for a good to go between, 100% of the source station will go to the destination station. In Simutrans, you'll have a lower input volume until you connect up more.
Okay, you are right! I didn’t recall that bit of the shares and the news from the second article completely went by me.
Samsung Clipboard History Catching and Saving Passwords
I recently discovered that my Samsung phone keeps a clipboard history. This history contained multiple passwords that I had copied from my password app to log in. There is no way to disable this function without rooting the phone...which means I must remember to manually clear the history after using it.

I think the technology is there to facilitate online learning. The teacher training and practices are another thing altogether. So a big need for basic computing education for all!
This is pure, unadulterated, user-hostile bullshit. I paid for Minecraft, not to be dicked around with login systems just because Microsoft bought Mojang and doesn't feel like doing their job.

Apparently someone used my email address already (gmail, because they won't accept school alumni email addresses!) so I was shunted into an "account recovery" hell full of questions I can't answer because I wasn't the one who signed up for a Microsoft account using my email address! How did they let that happen? Have they no validation on email addresses, but want blood work to recover an account?

I am livid. This is an atrocious experience and a nice preview of the hellish future of automated society we're hurtling into. Welcome to John Scalzi's "Automated Customer Service."

Screw you, Microsoft. Thanks for reminding me why I don't purchase your shit products.

A sideloaded app cannot impersonate another app for the same reason that it won't be signed with the same developer keys during compilation.
>The standard 2d coordinate system is often also referred to as the gaussian plane

Hmm, never heard of this. I wonder what are the reasons, Gauss really had nothing to do with coordinate systems. Even the complex numbers link is due to Euler, De Moivre and many many people before Gauss.

I have a half-joking hypothesis it's due to Germans not wanting to attribute things to a french mathematician, but that still doesn't explain why they went with Gauss and not Euler.
Also, just generally, I’d love to know the “and then what” if this were true. What happens? Does the world just point their finger? This is a serious comment
I did some checking and it looks like Google is the one that's disabling inactive accounts.
you can watch tons of movies on Amazon each for a couple of bucks. Does that count as a microtransaction?
While both a computer(HAL) and a gun share the attribute of being non-human, there is an argument to be made that HAL could make decisions and thus has "agency", while a gun cannot make decisions. This differentiates the question significantly.

Edit - responding to your comment edit, I don't know if it's common knowledge that HAL was written by humans (or not) but it's perhaps less clear with machine learning and AI algorithms used for modern autopilot systems, the systems learn and further program their own behavior beyond what the human programmers wrote, so in that sense I do think self-agency is emerging and as such there is responsibility on the part of both the car and it's creator, perhaps similar to how a parent is responsible for the independent actions of a young child.
Ah, East of Eden. I'm halfway through it right now, and it is fantastic so far. I've found many good recommendations over the years from HN threads. For example, I've read 7/10 of the Culture novels by Iain M Banks now, and a couple of them were exceptionally good (Use of Weapons, Surface Detail). Most discussion here ranks the books roughly the opposite of how I would, but chances are good you will thoroughly enjoy at least some of them.

Last year I finally got around to reading the Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe (another series recommended more than once on HN). Oh wow. So, so good. Yet I hesitate when recommending these books, because they are challenging to read, both in terms of vocabulary and deeply entangled story. Many times I had, "Wait, what?" moments where I reread entire chapters to make sure I really understood what had just happened. And there are many pieces I won't be able to fit together without at least another reading or two. The prime audience for these books is narrower than most of what I've read, but if the books speak to you, you're in for a huge treat. There are five books, but the first four are commonly published as pairs:

- Shadow & Claw

- Sword & Citadel

- Urth of the New Sun

Do they actually? My provider only lets me edit those details (with a low quality preview of first 4 digits and a CC icon). Interesting that yours makes those visible to you. You literally can't get those out of my provider. The data doesn't make it out.
Groom seems to have forgotten to mention the "merge" part of "log-structured merge" trees, and consequently the "log-structured" part too. He does talk about a "compaction process," but he sort of just doesn't mention the process of selecting what to compact when, or why the compaction process can use purely sequential I/O, which are the crucial aspects of LSM-tree performance.

My unfinished attempt from 02014 to explain LSM-trees (and, in particular, full-text search engines using them) with an implementation in 250 lines of Python 2 is at https://github.com/kragen/500lines/tree/master/search-engine. I think it's a more complete explanation (except for tombstones), but it's longer (half an hour of reading) and there aren't as many illustrations.

On the plus side, you can actually run it:

$ make
./handaxeweb.lua index.py < README.md > index.py
$ python2 index.py index ../newindex .
$ python2 index.py grep ../newindex refactor
README.md:1173: # XXX refactor chunk reading? We open_gzipped in three places now.
index.py:220: # XXX refactor chunk reading? We open_gzipped in three places now.
$

I, uh, wouldn't recommend trying to run a high-performance service on my didactic database. It has both zlib and urllib.quote in the inner loop, and its merges are blocking.

I think there are a couple of things in Groom's article that are not really part of LSM-trees per se. Like, bloom filters, or red-black trees, or caching sparse indices (skip files) in RAM. But that's true of mine too, which mixes the LSM-tree with the implementation of a full-text search engine!
An 18 year old can easily get a "unskilled" job what will give you a modest lifestyle. There are ~20 cities in America where this isn't possible but just about everywhere else it's completely possible. There is a shortage of tradesman across the country. Are you capable of doing relatively simple math, showing up on time, and working hard? There's a decent job for you in a midwestern city where you can buy a house for $120,000.
> Register your account with Apple as a developer and manage which devices allow side loading from their web dashboard.

I'd still put that as a bad solution. It is necessary but not sufficient for the owner of a device to be be able to run arbitrary code. It also must be the case that nobody can prevent the owner from running arbitrary code on their own device. The infrastructure required for Apple to be the intermediate for enabling such a feature would mean that Apple could also block the authorization from going through.

In effect, Apple must not be in a position to perform a man in the middle attack between an owner and the owner's device.

I guess I just like my tech stack to be as open and unrestrictive as possible.

The argument that Apple provides more safeguards is a bit flimsy in my opinion. I honestly don't know what people think Apple is protecting them from, especially when Apple's own features have led to people being stalked (air tags).

Also, most iPhone users that I know tend to have bought their iPhone for cosmetic/style related reasons, or the camera. They don't seem to be all that privacy conscious, especially when their phone is loaded up with every social media app on the planet, including Tiktok!
UU, mainline Protestantism, Reform Judaism. Religions that ask for nothing but attendance one day a week and don’t believe in anything uncomfortable for nice university educated people have been collapsing since the 60s.
If there's any solace for you, there are plenty of similarly brilliant kids as you that did stay in school to try to get that 'college' experience, and still are unsatisfied with themselves and feel out of place. Think about if you were in that normal streamlined path in college, would your personality and innate nature really do a 180? Highly doubt it, even though most people think they can exercise a locus of control and that external circumstances can change their deep inner character. There's a reason why you gravitated towards leaving school and being a young genius and working early. You live a unique (and impressive) life. Try to live your life out like a movie and don't look back at the what ifs. You're 20 too, haha. You're a baby. Your future is fucking unscripted. Don't worry about any of that shit. Your life is just starting.
I think what you are getting at and what I really want is a multiplayer model railroad. Something that can have complexity but doesn’t force it like a simulator. I want a mix of transport fever, minecraft, and factorio with a multiplayer component.

Ive been toying around with trying to learn Unity or Godot to build something like this.
Thanks for the great advice! We've created more detailed responses, so hopefully there's now a clearer picture of the output for each endpoint. We've added the more implementation-heavy recommendations (like changing the request body for interval data and splitting the address schema into multiple fields) to our roadmap to be implemented shortly. Really appreciate the scrutiny; way better to work everything out now than having developers run into usability issues. Please let us know if there's anything else you notice!
I think it’s really depending on the specific area someone is working in. For me the main benefit of the office is to discuss things on the whiteboard with three people and everyone is adding something to the discussion chaotically. Maybe that’s a dynamic that isn’t present somewhere else which is fine but that’s what works for me and every alternative that is online simply didn’t work as good. On the other hand when I’m working alone on tasks, WfH is great.
Please don't put yoga and crystals into the same category. While what most people in the west are doing has little to do with the actual thing it's still probably the most important discovery made by humanity.
High physical strength is useful for several modern jobs we’re desperately in need of - in particular nurses and home health aides. There’s still construction too, once we defeat the NIMBYs.

Most of this “running out of work” thought is just excuses for the US’s bad economic management in the 90s-2000s; as the GP said, now we’re at 4% unemployment and anyone with skills will be able to find a way to use them. Anything can be a skill if it's unique enough - if AI took all the jobs, "being human" would be a skill. That's comparative advantage.
My, uneducated, guess on Iran is that college-eligible men are likelier to go to madrassas or the like seeking government or religious power over education. Do you think that, or some other explanation, is right, or do you think that women are better represented in STEM in Iran due to a more egalitarian childhood?
Not trying to start an OS war but I'm curious as to what changed recently in Android-land that made you reconsider?

Sorry man I'm gonna believe Fauci on how to deal with a virus rather than a random person on the internet. I don't have decades of experience in virology and infectious disease. And guess what? He was right, and the republicans were wrong. do I believe he is always 100% right? Of course not. There was nothing in what he said that seemed illogical though, unlike Trump and his fellow republicans and whackadoodle online conspiracists.

Forget the incel subculture, media - traditional, social, or otherwise has been feeding us that for decades as well. If you're not thin and "beautiful", your romantic prospects are zero so why even try. Admittedly, it's also partially one's own fault for buying into it, but being fed a continual stream of the best looking people from a young age seriously alters one's perspective.

I spent my entire teenage and young adult years thinking that no one could possibly be attracted to me because I was overweight. Yet, I never could seem to pull myself out of the habits that got me there in the first place and I just kept getting larger - from somewhat overweight in high school to morbidly obese by the end of college. No one has ever randomly talked to me in a bar or out in public. The only time I ever experienced that was when I was abroad. I've not made a single non-work friend since college. I don't know where to go to "meet people my own age", etc. Here I am about to turn 29 and my social life is talking over the internet with the people in knew in college and I just feel ... lost. I have a high paying tech job, but that's about the only thing I feel is going well in my life. I recognize that never having to actually worry about money is most people's dream, but I envy those with diverse social lives.

Figured I'd start with actually getting my weight under control. 3 months ago I started religiously tracking calories and I've done a reasonable job of keeping my eating within my goals. Managed to lose 30 pounds so far. Would love to be half way to my target by my 30th birthday. Maybe try a dating app and make sure I'm honest about my looks. I'd love to be able to ride roller coasters again.
Have you tried fishing a different pond?
Agreed they're still English.

It's a little interesting how many from both sides of the list are loanwords, though - on the "male" side there's examples like howitzer, aileron, strafe and katana. I wonder if there's an effect here because loanwords are harder to learn?
I'd rather stick to a couple years old at the most recent. My husband loves his old Civic though. If it ever gives out on him, it's good to know there'll be some options out there.

Most important: if lots of students give the same wrong answer, the instructor's explanation was probably misleading (or even wrong).

The example could be replaced by a father encouraging their child to be a scientist rather than an accountant - likely a net financial loss.

Hell, put a noble prize winner (or Olympic gold medallist, or astronaut, or you pick) in a room with a guy who made 50mm on property development. No contest, but chances are the developer is at least 10x as wealthy.

There are examples all around you; might not be why you respect people, but its' what people actually do. Trying to reduce this all to wealth just doesn't stand up to even a little scrutiny, though it's equally clear that wealth does contribute.
The thing with multimc is the dev doesnt wanna support platforms that he doesnt or cant use. You are free to fork it and go ahead under a different name. Tbh I can understand it, he is the only main contributor behind the project, I wouldnt act differently.
