> re-adding trapping arithmetic

As a former JavaScript VM hacker, I think what I want the most is a conditional call instruction (like on arm32). The conditional flags are already computed for arithmetic, and there are already conditional jumps. JS VMs use them to check for overflow out of the small integer range (31 bits, but shifted one left, so a 32-bit arith op generates the right flags) followed by a branch to out-of-line code. That out-of-line code has to be duplicated for every different check site, since a branch doesn't keep track of where it came from. But a conditional call instruction would, either pushing the return address or putting it in a register. This allows a single, shared routine. You can then use this for all kinds of things....inline bump-pointer allocation with an automatic bailout to a slowpath, safety checks of all kinds, profiling, deoptimization, you name it.

What I wouldn't give for a conditional call instruction!
Companies that don't are selecting for masochists. Masochists have no instinct to make things simpler over time, because their reaction to pain is to simply get better at it rather than getting rid of it entirely.

It's the masochists who think 20 copies of the same code for 18 customers is an okay thing. Who think an 8 hour manual process you need to run once a month is just fine (hey, they can't fire me because nobody else will do it). It's the averse who decide to get that down to 3, and then the next set of averse people get it back down to 1.
what do you propose? because this all just sounds so naive. obviously the methods are horrible but there is no feel-good response to terrorism. can you really blame a nation for taking a zero-tolerance approach?

"international condemnation" is hardly a meaningful metric. It comes from 1. countries that have done and are doing far worse (slaughter, invasion, fomenting regime change), 2. countries that are sitting there wringing their hands as internal strife mounts over the increasing culture clash, and 3. countries that are lucky enough not to have these problems.
How so? Games are ultimately there to be enjoyed. If following a guide makes it more enjoyable, then that's perfectly valid. And I say that as a working games developer.

Very amusing. Though, she concludes there's no difference based on average sleep quality, but the variance is sizably larger, and I personally care quite a bit about sleep quality consistency.
I'm not denying anything - I'm asking you for a source where he said that, because I'm genuienly not aware of him doing so.

And like I said, current economic sanctions are worse than anything we've ever used against a developed country in terms of economic punishment. So whatever image you have of Russia in 2014 - now is worse.

I think they're saying that they hit the numbers with the fat of their finger instead of the tip. When the key reaches bottom now the tip of your finger may be touching the bottom edge of the touchbar.

I think developers and the odd MMO players are the only ones these days who use the function keys. I really want physical ones back but I don't think I'm going to win that democratic vote. I tend to almost exclusively use an external keyboard with laptops however. The touchbar is not even close to the top ergonomic problem with trying to type 50+ wpm on a laptop.
>It sounds a lot like you have a problem with your vehicle

The winter temperature extreme in NYC is around -16F, not idling until the engine block warms would be a problem for most vehicles.
Very well put. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I'm not sure what this comment means, sorry.
For those who've never heard of Girard's theories, this is a better (and more concise) starting point:

You know, I remember many times on my neighborhood’s Facebook post age people saying things like “thanks whomever reported my barking dog. I had no idea it was a problem now I owe $500. Why didn’t you just tell me?!” or whatever. So I was like, oh yeah I’ll just be a cool neighbor.

I texted several of my neighbors once. Completely polite and to the point “hey, there are dogs barking all day lately. Can you double check yours isn’t one? It’s really disruptive. Thanks!”

One of them passive aggressively never spoke to me again until they moved. The other texted me back berating me. How dare I even suggest their perfect dog…

I will call the cops anonymously from now on.
Let me ask some questions. Do you think Solomon was the first person to realize this, did he come up with this de novo? Or, perhaps, he was also a product of his cultural environment. Is it possible that he has been lionized by the hagiography that surrounds him to make it seem as if nobody had ever had such moral insights until he came along? Do you think it is likely or unlikely that cultures which don't have any Abrahamic tradition have also arrived at the same conclusions?

More importantly, whatever contributions Solomon's wisdom has had on our culture, there are thousands of other competing (and often contradicting) ideas in the milieu. Even if Solomon was the author of the wisdom ascribed to him, it isn't obvious to me that those ideas are at the center of our culture or at the forefront of everyone's thoughts, and so it isn't "obvious [that it has] been provided beforehand."

I can pinpoint when I had my own epiphany. Probably like many people on HN, I did quite well in school. I took standardized tests every year starting in grade 1 and a few weeks later I'd receive a breakdown of what percentile I scored in math, vocabulary, reading, etc, and a combined score. I wouldn't say I had an ego about it, but it was planted in my mind that I was smart and would grow up and do great things: maybe I'd invent something amazing, or discover some deep scientific principle.

Early in high school I had the thought: no matter what I do, it is unlikely that I'll ever be as famous as, say, US President John Tyler, and nobody gives a damn about him. In fact, very few people achieve lasting fame, eg Jesus or Buddha or Isaac Newton. Heck, I don't give a moment's thought about my great grandparents. Each of us is just a ripple in a pond, and as the diameter of our ripple gets larger, its amplitude shrinks. Conceptually, the effects last forever, but only in the most diffuse, indirect manner. Thus my goal became not to do something great that would impress everyone, but to focus on making a positive difference to the people nearest me in space and time; everything else that ripples out of that is gravy.

Why tell this story? Because culturally I had been programmed, and I still see it in full force, that fame and influence are desirable goals. Look at how many people try to become influencers on social media, or do the dumbest things on youtube or tiktok to get eyes to look at them. Yet despite that programming, that thought really changed my life philosophy. Just a realization to a sheltered 14 or 15 year old, so I'm sure there are many people who have had similar thoughts.
Wow this is so disturbing to watch the victim alive and well at one moment, and these animals murdering him the next, and over nothing, and in the United States of America. I can't imagine what it's like for this man's kids and family to watch this. This makes me very angry and sad. I hope that one way or another these animals eventually get the justice they deserve. Complete police overhaul is long overdue.
QED +1. Legendary book, changed the way I look at the world forever.
This. This book is so much more than math. It's about using multidisciplinary approach to tackle a series of deep philosophical problems. The math-inclined crowd here unsurprisingly sees inspiration from the math perspective (which is a perfectly fine and valid view), but there's also a lot of ideas from art (Escher), music (Bach), and classic philosophy (both from Western and Eastern traditions!), not to mention as a book written in the 1970s, it is (AFAICT) well-informed in the a state of art theory of computation and bioinformatics.

The sheer breadth and depth of understanding from the author blew my mind away. I suspect my attitude towards cross-disciplinary learning was probably reinforced by reading the book.
> That arrangement had been working for me

Well, it has not been working for me. And I've tried rearranging the displays. I'm not stupid. I had a similar setup with a single Mac before, and it worked fine. The layout looks correct in System preferences.

When moving the mouse between A2 and B, the cursor comes out in the right position. I just can't move from B to A1. (A detail I omitted for brevity: I can move the mouse from A1 to B, but then the cursor jumps down as if it was coming from A2.)

It's definitely a bug, it's not intentional.
You mean like the shit show that is Data Vault? https://danlinstedt.com/allposts/datavaultcat/datavault-issu...

>>data vault 2.0 brings with it methodology, architecture, modeling, and implementation – best practices, standards, automation and more. the ability to encompass and leverage disciplined agile delivery, and sei/cmmi, six sigma, lean initiatives, cycle time reduction, and proper build practices lead us to one day sprint cycles.

And let's not forget that shit show of a "book" https://www.amazon.com/Data-Architecture-Primer-Scientist-Wa...
woah yeah maybe
Hah, Schrödinger's fridge.
In my experience data quality in finance is much worse than FAANG. It's common to have just the raw data feed from markets/trades/network dumped into a OLAP DB and whoever is using it has to sort through it whereas FAANG have data engineers to clean stuff up.
Hmm. I guess I'm trying to suggest that the format of the daily stand up, or even something about the development pipeline in these situations, are leading people to forget what they are doing day-to-day. If I were on a team where people were forgetting regularly, I'd tune the process. I find explanations like "I haven't prepared" or "There is something inherent to me" not to be satisfying. As a lead, I'd find it quite alarming, really. I mean, some people have medical conditions, and that's fine as an explanation, but as a routine? No. Something isn't going well. And, the explanation is almost certainly not "devs are at fault". Burnout is a possibility.
That may be true, but during the coding videos on YouTube he's extremely smart.

My favorite saying of him is that they don't have a cone guy because a self driving system shouldn't contain the knowledge of a cone explicitly. Guess what happened in the last Tesla update: the car went into a cone because it wasn't the usual color.

> behooves the hirer to get as much signal around something that closely resembles the actual works as possible

Is there any reason why closely simulating the work environment should be the most efficient way to glean whether a candidate will perform well once hired?
No, as my article notes, because C has a dozen slightly different definitions for "integers that are basically pointers" they were able to keep size_t 64-bit and make intptr_t into a pointer-sized integer and mark it as something the compiler should manipulate as if it was 'void*' (because it is as far as CHERI is concerned). This is still a messy hack but it vaguely functions.

Rust doesn't have this luxury because it only defines an exact-pointer-sized integer, so it has to map usize to intptr_t and bloat up everything really badly.
If I can compile the code by sometime after lunch, I consider that a not bad onboarding process. Maybe not great, but not bad.

Plenty of places take days to get to this point, often with many false starts. You should be working now. No? Oh, we forgot about this thing. How about now? Still no? Dang. Let me ask David... no wait David is on vacation this week.
I spent so many nights sleeping on the floor of my office in the lab that I just got used to it.

Then I became a backpacker and it was like I had a superpower.
>There's no reason that anyone should need to use a personal car for commuting inside urban areas.

This ignores every laborer that requires heavy tools to complete their daily task. The people that keep your buildings and homes comfortable, for example, can easily have hundreds of pounds of tools.
Having driven a tractor on my parents' farm, I can confirm this. It is so mindless it is not boring, because you can think of other things.
That wasn't my point, my point being that if you pay the right people you can get away with it.
Hans Zimmer explained parts of the writing process for one of the Dune tracks in a recent episode of Songexploder: https://songexploder.net/dune

I found it quite interesting and did not get the impression that he is just phoning it in, but it is difficult to judge from a short podcast of course.
I imagine this isn’t the first time you’ve realized you wanted this so I’m curious: what’s stopping this today? CPU designers being lethargic? Technical complexity? Something else?

It seems like the kind of feature that competition among CPU manufacturers would drive towards an implementation out of a desire to claim faster performance on a workload that people care about.
The core interview of this type is still fairly terrible IMO. You're just masking it with a few nicities as many big companies already do. (Those rich enough to have proper interviewer training)
But I don't want to driving a vehicle on the same road I am on. Well, not exactly you but, you know, those idiots.
As a kid, our scout troop had a fundraising deal with the local Schwan's distributor, they would bring in a delivery truck full of ice-cream and we'd sell it at a local festival, and then pay wholesale for what we'd used.

Anyway basically there was no power at the festivals, it was usually just a parking lot at a local highschool, so they'd plug it in overnight. Not sure whether they had batteries/etc, but they were perfectly fine being out in a hot parking lot for 16 hours, no problem. And we were constantly in and out of the trucks selling ice cream which is not what a delivery truck was designed for.
Obama did in fact say that in his 2015 SotU [0]. And he was right, while it rebounded after 2015, the Russian GDP/capita dropped almost 12% in 2014 and almost 34% in 2015.

You have some conflict markers in your README :)
That says there’s no evidence. While it may still be true you can’t just state like it’s a well known and accepted fact. That is certainly not true.

If you want to make controversial claims you’d better make sure you can back it up. Right now it does not add in a valuable way to the conversation.
Segments are somewhat different on x86-64, which uses them to just compute a virtual address that you can just use as a normal pointer. There’s no “fat” pointer really involved here, the segment register just provides a convenient place to stash the base address of the TLS or whatever you’re using it for. This is why you can store a normal pointer that points into the TLS. This is different from segmentation in the past where you could really keep everything in your address space at once, so every use of the pointer required arithmetic, or with CHERI where you need to pass around the full “big” pointer to have the right capability to access the memory.
I suppose there's not many other ways to incentivise people in America other than offering them money. Seems like simply informing for the overall benefit of society wouldn't be incentive enough ...
> There are plenty of people who see my writing for what it's supposed to be: a series of cautionary tales on how things can go wrong, and what to do to avoid them.

I rarely see the "what to do to avoid them" in Rachel's posts, and I think that's why I find them so frustrating.
I have routinely seen this opinion, and I liken it to saying that Shawshank Redemption is a prison escape story.

In KKC, the reader is an observer, where the main character unreliably narrates their journey in 1st person to someone else as the young MC would have perceived it. The POV is central how you perceive the story. KKC never clicks if taken at face value. Kvothe is portrayed as a clumsy prodigy every step of the way. From the way he projects his insecurities onto his female counterpart to the chasm between how he perceives himself and how others perceive him. Young Kvothe is a mess, and old Kvothe knows it.

I can't imagine any serious reader who'd put themselves in Kvothe's shoes. KKC is not a hero story. The reader is actively discouraged against taking Kvothe's self-image as truth. His life is a disaster. Kvothe is closer to Forrest Gump or Icarus, than a Mary Sue.

IMO, it is unfair to criticize it from outside of the context that it exists in. "KKC is not grimdark enough for my liking", is stylistic preference. It isn't a shortcoming of the book that same way that "Queen's lyrics are too simple" is not a shortcoming of Queen.
It depends on where you live.

USPS regularly leaves mail in the wrong mailboxes in my location. FedEx and UPS never do. And the people delivering the mail here are incredibly rude. My neighbors and I have to regularly swap mail. No amount of complaining fixes anything.

Another case, Buses that idle on their end station.

Every time I've worked someplace or talked to someone who worked someplace that thought they were head and shoulders above everybody else... it's like when you're a kid and you find out for the first time that the adults have no fucking clue what they're doing either.

They either are a slight cut above, better at some things and worse at many others, or full on delusional. If they're actually much worse, which happens from time to time, then you can joke about how they're head and shoulders up their own asses.

Sturgeon's law applies. The people who know they're a little full of it are usually the ones who have better luck correcting that situation, or at least dealing with the consequences of it.
You didin't address any of the things I said, just made some vague remark about the words being used as "juvenile". I know you don't care about the game, so it is easy for you to dismiss counter criticism as unnecessary, and to scoff at "charged" language like "gaslight" and "threat". In my view this is a legitimate assessment of the original posters criticism. And It's clear that once all of your legitimate criticism of game mechanics fall flat in the face of reality, you both fall back on critiquing the words and "community" that previously defended the proper game design. I must ask, why are you in this thread if you neither care about the game (As evidenced by calling discussion about it juvenile), nor have played it (As evidenced by you and the original posters insistence that the game is somehow broken in a way that prevents them from playing as they enjoy)?
It is kind of scary to see majority of HN diaspora wanting this kind of future. Sad and sort of terrifying.
> Saying Bezos just won is simply dishonest. His ideas and approach had an impact.

If Bezos never existed, or chose to become a theoretical physicist,there would have been another company filling the niche(s) with some other founder who didn't screw up the company.
This argument would make sense if people voted according to their interests, but they don't. For example, San Francisco renters overwhelmingly vote against the development of new housing that would help with housing costs. Black voters overwhelmingly supported Bill Clinton for president, and he signed the 1994 crime bill into law which was the worse thing to happen to black Americans since slavery, decimating black communities and ruining lives. There's countless other examples as well.
Yay, another es shell user!
> Is the current state of "being reduced to economic rubble" even worse than being "in tatters"?

Probably far worse, though actual measurements will take time; also, if the sanctions are maintained equally well, given how much more comprehensive they are, it will be much harder for Russia’s economy to reconfigure and bounce back as it did post-2015.
yeah and let's ignore it's also their university colors and Kazakhstan flag colors from where they are taking off

And speaking about supporting UA with colors same happened with Chinese CCTV news anchor where someone completely changed colors of her dress from green to blue and then spread this changed image for Ukrainian propaganda purposes all over social media, you can see social media photo and real colors in video here:

While it's probably impractical to choose your spot for the night based on your cat's, I think there's actually something we can learn from here:

"Cats will sleep in a variety of different locations, each likely the combination of factors such as mood, warmth, light and coziness." [emphasis mine]

And I think we – humans – should also follow our mood more often in our everyday lives – even things like sprint planning or building our startups. I feel there's something hidden in the feeling of how you feel (your mood).

For example, you look at these 5 tasks in your backlog and choose what you want to work on based on your mood/excitement/feeling.

Maybe the level of excitement you feel for the task is a message from your "unconscious" mind saying that this task is a good one to do right now? And even if that's not the case, you'll just feel better doing a task that you feel excitement for rather than the one you don't feel like doing right now.

Advatages?
1) you just feel better (which I don't have to explain why that is good for you) and
2) you probably finish the task quicker and with a better quality
