> Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the C.D.C., said the agency has been slow to release the different streams of data “because basically, at the end of the day, it’s not yet ready for prime time.” She said the agency’s “priority when gathering any data is to ensure that it’s accurate and actionable.”

> Another reason is fear that the information might be misinterpreted, Ms. Nordlund said.

Much as I can sympathize with that, the CDC withholding massive amounts of data seems like throwing gasoline on the conspiracy fire.

Look at what happened when the FDA said it would take 75 years to publicly release the Pfizer vaccine data. Yes it was justifiable but it didn't exactly calm conspiracy theorists down.
The problem isn't that you can make the UI look like anything you want, it's that only the manufacturer can do so, without authorization nor notice.

Actually being able to customise it yourself (and have the changes persist long-term) wouldn't be that bad.
You mean the same culture where statistically to this day minorities get harsher sentences for the same crime than non minorities and that the “War on Drugs” became the “War on Black People” and when drugs started affecting rural America it became a “disease” that needs “treatment” and not “caused by moral failings” like it was in the “inner city”. Even the idea that the crack got harsher punishment than the same amount of cocaine is evidence that not much has changed.

It’s not a Republican vs Democratic thing. The Clintons and Biden were big proponents of the “War on Crime” and it was disproportionately aimed at minorities.

I have no idea why criminal justice reform didn’t gain more traction. The mainstream Republicans on the national level supported it as well as Democrats - even up to Trump before.
I'm less convinced by this: controls within easy reach while driving need to be physical because you can reach them without looking, but the center control dash is always a little bit too far away from a comfortable driving position to start with - and thus a reasonable candidate to be touchscreen-ifyed provided you don't put serious controls on it.

i.e. I don't mind touchscreen A/C controls or something, provided the driver's wheel also has those controls (which in my old Toyota Prius it does).

IMO the big innovation is making sure that everything I would want to do while driving is literally at my fingertips, which should be on the steering wheel.

This is true for everything that people actually use. What you just quoted, a "<dl>" tag, is a writing concept that I, and I think most people, have never heard of and have never used in written documents. Maybe that should change, but that's kinda how it is...
If you view the US as an Oligarchy that "pay" to win elections, the constant 51% victories make more sense. With the extreme expense of elections, you pay enough to win. You don't bother paying for 75% victory.

You "pay" with both outright money in campaign finance, and in compromise of entrenched advantage (aka policy).

You trot out a platform that will get you the 51% majority with an acceptable cost in campaign finance and minimum surrendered advantage.

If you lose, you won't lose bad enough that you'll slide back too much. If you win, you push your advantage when you win the coinflip.

Sidenote: in the twitter thread there was a reference to the fosbury flop.

Note that the Fosbury has the advantage of clearing the bar, but the jumper's center of gravity goes under the bar, thus you clear the bar, but your effort is less than what people think it is.

And now HN is talking about it too. More publicity for them.
The behaviour of signed integer overflow is undefined, but only if it actually overflows, and whether it overflows or not can be based on the widths of types which are implementation-defined, so there is a link between the two things.

Many "correct" programs rely on undefined behaviour for optimizations while the authors knowingly assert (or assume) that the undefined behaviour doesn't actually occur.

So the question is, if you are writing non-portable code for a specific environment, is a UB that actually triggers on your environment "non-portability" or is it a "bug"? I think most people would define that as being a bug.

Edit: Okay, bad example cos you could maybe use int_leastN_t or something in that example to document the assumptions... But you don't always have control over types, and there may be multiple constraints, etc..
I would argue that a language that can prove that the result of teleporting a pure state is pure is fairly neat. It’s not quite as nice as proving that it’s equal to the initial state, but it’s still nifty.

I do agree that, for actual serious work on a hypothetical real large quantum computer, this ability may not be a high priority.

It's not impossible; Linux already has a mechanism for this (alternatives, static keys), which allows patching code at runtime. It is used precisely for this kind of thing, where you don't want the performance impact of branching every time to decide what code path to use.

However, while it can practically eliminate code overhead, it can't eliminate data overhead. I'm guessing the RT stuff does add overhead to data structures, and alternatives wouldn't fix that.

> In languages were data races are possible you can have every thread only ever increment x, and yet x's value will decrease due to a data race.

That would be a very strange language, or a very strange machine.

In particular integer reads and writes are atomic (though not necessarily well ordered) on x86, arm, etc, so you'd be hard pressed to get a C compiler to emit code that tears the reads or writes in a way that would lead to integer decrements.

I see some comments of remapping the caps lock into ctrl. Not much benefit IMO. I'd recommend to trying out backspace instead.

Why? It removes the need to move your right hand off the mouse if you need to delete anything.

For example: double click a word and backspace with left hand. Especially handy for programming. Definitely one i can't live without now.
I'm not sure what feels more problematic, the framing of the initial thread or the last patch tweet which doesn't even acknowledge Kristen's claim and doesn't name them while trying to thank them.

No surprise here. I've never encountered a redundancy feature in storage that worked. Power failure, drive controller failure, connection failure - and data is kaput. Regardless of the promised.

How can it be so bleak? Can it be that nobody's data redundancy is real? Sure. If you don't test it, regularly, then by the hoary rules of computing it doesn't work.

AVR was designed much later with a C compiler in mind. 8051 while atrocious is much cheaper to license and fab than an ARM Cortex-M. These applications will probably go RISC-V in near future.

On the real low end PADAUK is king, at under 3 cent retail. They don't even bother with a C compiler and instead have a macro assembler on steroids called Mini-C (there is also sdcc but I never used that having needed every last 13 but word of ROM). Programming these, with 64 bytes of RAM, is strangely refreshing - no fancy abstractions, microsecond-precise instruction timings.

macOS flushes the NVMe cache on kernel panic.

Probably not on lockups though. A watchdog reset won't flush NVMe. Not sure if they have a special pre-fire path that tries a last ditch NVMe flush...
I turned all my notifications off years ago. With the exceptions of calls and texts, which almost nobody sends me so are not bothersome. I think it depends on individual circumstances, if you are getting lots of nuisance calls but want to know if there is an important one, it may be tougher.

Thanks for sharing these. I am a fan of Quikscript, which was specifically designed to be written by hand.

Here is the original Quikscript Manual:

https://www.quikscript.net/quikscript-manual.pdf

Quikscript evolved from Shavian:

>[George Bernard] Shaw placed in his will provisions instructing his executor to organize a world-wide competition to design an improved English alphabet. A British designer, Ronald Kingsley Read, who had corresponded extensively with Shaw for several years regarding just such an alphabet, was selected along with three other finalists as the winners of the competition. Read was chosen to design the final form of the alphabet. The "Shaw Alphabet" or "Shavian", as it is now generally known, was the result.

It's at least 5 seconds on Apple SSDs. Not sure if they even lazily flush at all. They might rely on the OS to periodically issue flushes (I heard launchd does that every 30 seconds).
This is my thoughts, the business is the ultimate owner of the advertisement. While the agency adds it to their portfolio. They are both owners/creators in different ways

The tweets are a CEO doing corporate speak about how good their company is and should be expected.
Your statement is too strong and comes with important caveats. Only certain aligned memory accesses to non-floating point data types are atomic. Floating point values, unaligned accesses and even integer operations via SIMD instructions are not atomic on the platforms you list. You can absolutely produce an unaligned pointer in C, or use SIMD to increment an integer value (in conjunction with other values) in which case there is no guarantee of atomicity and hence the potential for data to be clobbered if it's not protected by a synchronization primitive.
Much simpler environment. In the mainframe days, you had a no-choice environment for coding. It was the same no matter where you went.

Training was solid and documentation was professional. You had to be on the right side of management to spend the money to get either, though.

Some things were better. Not enough to make it worth changing back, though.
It changed [1] from capacitors and "power loss protection" to something else described as "power loss immunity" with the MX500. I don't think I've ever seen it explained very well.

> With the release of the MX500, Crucial has included a new replacement for the traditional power loss protection feature, power loss immunity. Instead of relying on a bank of capacitors for power loss protection, Crucial was able to work the new 3D TLC NAND and the code to allow for more efficient NAND programming so that the capacitors are no longer needed.

That's just a regurgitated press release IMO.

A lot of consumer drives also stopped reporting DRAT/RZAT [2] around the Crucial MX500, Samsung 850 timeframe. They swap internals as others in this thread have pointed out and the write endurance has dropped since reviewers stopped reporting on it. I have a Crucial MX500 in my system right now with 11% life remaining and only 37TBW even though it's advertised as having 180TBW of endurance.

Edit: I actually found [3] an explanation of "power loss immunity".

> The impact is still the same: you don't get the full protection that is standard for enterprise SSDs, but data that has already been written to the flash will not be corrupted if the drive loses power while writing a second pass of more data to the same cells.

I always thought write operations on SSDs were more or less to write a new page or block or whatever the terminology is and to flag the old one(s) for garbage collection. I don't understand how it would be possible to lose the old data by doing that. Did they just invent a term that sounds like power loss protection, but doesn't actually do anything special?

It doesn't. You can call non-async Rust and C from async Rust just fine. You just have to be beware of calling blocking things if you're not in a context where blocking is ok (i.e. in a CPU work pool thread).

I'm not sure what the GP meant, to be honest. Async "colored" code does have an tendency to "infect" more and more of your codebase, but you can still write and integrate big chunks of non-async code (e.g. a parser or a network protocol) if you're mindful about your design.
The fact that you have not heard of it does not make it rare. Leaving aside all the discussions in thread and people's view about crypto and Bitcoin, I think the ad is genius.
I'm optimistic about Wikipedia. The popularity means if an important fact is missing it will get added, and the entrenched interests mean the fact will get reverted if it isn't balanced. Hence an article presenting a balanced, complete viewpoint is the steady state. But of course the article isn't guaranteed to reach that state.
I mean I think Ember was ahead of the curve here and still is. React community finally caught up to ember style routing with react-location and remix. Ember has nested load states out of the box, ie: suspense loading. Ember data is essentially Apollo store. It has a decent reactivity framework built in similar to Mobx. It's actually positioned pretty well surprisingly.

The entire point of the FLUSH command is to flush caches that aren't battery backed.

Battery-backed drives are free to ignore such commands. Those that aren't need to honor them. That's the point.

Battery- or capacitor-backed enterprise drives are intended to give you more performance by allowing the drive and indeed the OS to elide flushes. They aren't supposed to give you more reliability if the drive and software are working properly. You can achieve identical reliability with software that properly issues flush requests, assuming your drive is honoring them as required by the NVMe spec.
