Ah, the Guardian. The "leftist" newspaper that character-assassinated leftist prime minister candidate Jeremy Corbyn for antisemitism. It felt... kind of blood-thirsty, and it was quite the bullshit accusation, too. I can't take that rag seriously anymore.
Agreed. I had very high expectations, but not unrealistic ones (i.e. I expected a memorable quality, but not the most memorable possible) that were not met. I actually now think Hans Zimmer was the wrong choice - they needed the Howard Shore of sci-fi, someone with experience but who was not a big name yet and needed to create something truly great to get there.

That's more or less with consistent with the movie being a solid 8/10 instead of anything better.

I am still worried about it somehow, because in my opinion the most privacy preserving way would be not to fetch that data at all. Now it seems to be down to trust.

If you're asking how people solve problems with systems they know from head to toe, with which they have worked for ages and they know common issue types, and procedures how to diagnose and debug by endless repetition, you're right, they don't need to sleep on it, they just do it by muscle memory.

That's not unlike math olympiad competitors or competitive coders who by repetition generate a skill for those types of problems exactly.

I'm not surprised that there are areas in the Canadian Shield where soils are deeper - the Shield is very old, and erosion is a thing, and soils collect in lower lying areas.

I'm guessing that the area you're describing has a lot of lakes, or swamps, or both. Might be a bunch of drainage schemes put in place to make waterlogged soils useful for agriculture?

One swallow doth not a summer make. And one hollow doth not a viable agricultural soil over an entire geological structure make.

(Obviously there's more than one place in the Shield where deeper soils are present).

Ha, if that graben underlies the area under discussion, then I feel very vindicated about a comment I just posted.
makes you wonder,

babel say they can't live with 300k a year in funding

but the 1000s of projects used by 1000s of devs to build 1000s of things barely get 10$ a month or even a year

OSS donations should be more fairly distributed, not power law, rock star levels, where 1 project can get more funding than 99% of projects.
I agree it would have been nice to have 'infinite sized' instructions, chopped up to the actual underlying vector size. But there were so many complaints about AMD not implementing some instructions as 256 bit-wide but 2x128 that I feel they went for the least microcode route.

Mask registers offset the size problem a bit. I just wish we'd rebuild a language or clean libraries to take full advantage of this programming model. Is ispc still maintained? Does anyone use it in prod? Genuinely curious.

I feel SVE is 'too late' as most CPU makers seem to go back to smaller vector units (leaving the vectorized stuff to gpus - I know they're not the same thing, but if you're investing in heavy perf hardware, for repetitive computing...) and even Intel doesn't seem very serious about AVX512 except in the Xeon world. But then if you pay 8000EUR for a platinum thing, you might be able to pay for top talent to handcraft some intrinsics.
At least in the SF market what matters is a financing contingency, not all cash vs mortgage. As long as you go through underwriting first and get full approval (not pre-approval) an offer with a mortgage and no financing contingency is 99% as good as an all-cash offer. Sellers are not impressed by cash offers anymore unless they're the high bidder... in which case it is the high offer not the cash nature that matters.

And lenders that work in SF understand how this works and indeed can go through full underwriting without a property having been selected. Appraisal is the only thing that might matter which is why it is a good idea to hold back some cash.

I like to call these just "scripts" without the magic. Magic scripts install a bunch of stuff and configure your machine, but don't tell you what they're doing at all. This stuff infuriates, because the next thing I know I have an OpenJDK11 on my computer for seemingly no reason. What you really want is a script, so you can just directly run it, but it tells you what it is doing and why you need the thing. "I'm going to set up Kerberos so I can push to our Git instance"? That's what I want to see somewhere that's not just "oh you can find this in the 17th zip file we download and execute on your machine".
At least PowerPC machines were available for reasonable prices from Apple for about a decade - and Linux was quite well supported in addition to OS X. But with Motorola’s loss of interest in the PC and server market and IBM’s focus on processors for consoles, there was no future for Apple in the growing mobile market. After all, we’re still waiting for the G5 Powerbook :).

Wait until you realize that all of these situations are produced by the same system/structures, the same the same mindset/culture and often the same people/institutions. Though i agree with you that there's a few orders of magnitude of difference in violence, corporations do not care about your well-being and will suck all they can out of you, often leading to burnout or outright suicide.

If an institution is not capable to be human and empathic even in something as basic as an "onboarding" (which is supposed to make you feel welcome and capable), run for your life or burn the whole thing down. Fuck industrial capitalism.

Talking about sound design and engineering: One of the best introductions to film sound design that I've found is the extra material found on the DVD for THX 1138, where Walter Murch talks about his work on the movie. Some of the work he did there was also used or reworked for Star Wars.

There are also some very interesting interviews of him on YouTube:

I agree. It’s crazy how many senior people don’t understand strategy and can’t deal with complexity.

Ex, I once worked at a company that required creation of a two sided market (buyers and sellers). I proposed that we bootstrap the market by creating a variant of our product to enter an existing, complementary market. By offering a cheaper solution in the complementary market with clear benefits for users, its likely we would have been able to establish a user base that we could then use to stimulate the seller side of the market, thereby achieving our goal of creating a brand new market.

The strategy our management consultant CEO went with was to put ads on LinkedIn.

Nobody works there any more.
As I noted above this is not really true anymore. My agent told me flat out that sellers (read: seller's agents) are not impressed with all-cash offers anymore. As long as you make a no-contingencies offer that's plenty good enough. They might ask if you have a 5-10% reserve just in case the appraisal comes in a bit low but in the three offers we made that never came up, even against other buyers offering all cash.

Getting a mortgage approved was also easier than I expected; when you move into Jumbo territory and have more than 20% cash to put down the bank seems to assume if you were industrious enough, lucky enough, or connected enough to come up with $500k, $1m, or whatever cash then you're probably good for the loan.

'Reliving Second-Hand Nostalgia With The PDP-11' : https://hackaday.com/2022/03/19/reliving-second-hand-nostalg...
Is the basic concept of structured concurrency more about programming language design, or applicable to how a program is structured? I can do something like this in JS:

async function doTasks(tasks = [])
// Do some concurrent stuff:
let results = await Promises.all(tasks.map((task) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
workerpool.exec('mytask', [task])
.then(function(result) {
resolve(result)
})
.catch(function(err) {
reject(err)
})
})))
// Function pauses here until all tasks resolve.
// do stuff with results
}

The workerpool exists outside the scope of this function, is that kind of the crux of the distinction, or does it come down to how threads / workers are managed (by the language / first class constructs) that outlines the definition of structured concurrency?

The example above feels like a similar pattern to what I've seen in discussions of structured concurrency but as with most things I feel like there's an aha moment where I'll get what all the fuss is about.
New sudo features sysadmins need to know in 2022
IMVHO she do not really complain about "a craptop" but about a whole push all that are in IT have seen:

- first, pushing ignorant (and proud to be, saying that they only need obscure laws of economy to rule the world) managers => we see in decades that NOTHING really new is born and anything is more and more crappy and unsustainable;

- second, pushing a dumb and dysfunctional false sociability mediated by ridiculous rituals some call them "team building" some other less crazy call them nazi voodoo in modern western sauce;

- third, pushing bad tech and bad tech habit because for some of the above ignorant that's not bad, craptops and certain "mobility" push is one of the face of such push: to work we all need for a reason or another DESKTOPS, large screens, sometimes more than one, good large and rich of keys keyboards, a damn desk large enough, a room etc the management push toward "take a craptop and crapphone and you are ready to work", things like https://arstechnica.com/?p=1831722 clearly depict what we are heading: giving cheaper and cheaper crap hoping to keep revenues up lowering costs, shifting them to third parties.

My own personal response to that is simple: managers MUST be pushed toward they role, beancounters, restoring the concept of entrepreneurship. Managerial driven modern nazi society (that's is, modern management techniques are born in the nazi era) is something we can't sustain.

I actually had Apple's chips in mind when talking about "most shipping processors" because they have historically invested heavily in their caches and reaped benefits from it. But not all the world's an M1, and also I'll have you know that Apple themselves cares very much about their code size, even with their large caches. Don't go wasting it for no reason!

(I should also note that I am pretty on board with you with regards to variable-length instructions, this is just independent of that.)

It really isn't. It's a statement of fact. The whole point of getting everyone in the same room and showing them how to go through a SSO userflow and install basic software is precisely to not force everyone on your team to endure that each and every single time there's a new hire.

The majority of questions are always the same predictable set of questions, the struggles are the same, the process is the same, the goals are the same. Thus instead of bringing down each and every team's productivity to go through exactly the same thing over and over again, you just get everyone on the same room, get a pair of dedicated employees to do the handholding, and you're done.

d <- drums "X _ _ _|O _ _ _|O _ _ _|O _ _ _" Tr808.bd2
env <- sqrEnvM 0 16
return (d & withEnv env)
