Willpower is not an effective way to deal with emotions, beyond the very short term - and then you will have blowback. Suppressing your emotions is a great way to have them take over your life and without you being conscious of it (you suppressed them!).
It wasn't great, but, it represented something different, and along with the hexagon map it added variety. Feels like there's much more room to get creative in terms of map shapes/obstacles/nuances.
Somehow I managed to generated RSA keys with PGP 2.x in the early 1990s on a Linux system without a mouse or an always-on connection to the Internet. It took about five minutes while I mashed the keyboard during that time, but I was able to do it.

Yet we can't find enough entropy in 2022 to boot a system?

Also, why don't the BSDs seem to have as many problems on the subject as Linux apparently does?

people kinda oversell the complexity of the situation. like ooh big scary venn diagram right?

https://twitter.com/InstLatX64/status/1114141314441011200/ph...

The shorthand is that there's basically "xeon phi" and "everything else". Each of those sets has strictly increasing capabilities with each product generation - Phi Gen2 is a strict superset of Phi Gen1, but Consumer Gen2 doesn't necessarily include all the instructions in Phi Gen1.

There's a few exceptions and nuances (in particular, this is generation, not chronological order), but that's really all you need to know in practice. If you want to refine that a little further, there's "consumer", "server" and "xeon phi" set and each of those is very well-ordered. Basically they just took the consumer line and added some neural network instructions to it for server.

But if you're a consumer, there is only one feature set you need to worry about, and they are strictly ordered within that series. Tiger Lake will be strictly better than Ice Lake, and so on. Well, until Intel just dropped AVX-512 entirely of course, but AMD is adding support in Zen4, so it's not going away or anything.

I get that people enjoy taking the piss, but there were literally 11 different "feature sets" in MMX/SSE that come up in a trivial search, and if you counted every single combination that any chip ever implemented as being a "level" there are most likely 30 or 40 "levels" in MMX/SSE. Some of those even got dropped and abandoned, others became basically mandatory for running modern software. It would be a big scary venn diagram assuming it could even be represented at all.

Today we don't even think about it (except for Phenom II owners, hi guys!), we just found the useful sets of instructions and everything implements them. When was the last time you worried about whether your processor had SSE4 POPCNT? Over time it's a non-issue.

AMD will implement their own subset of features in Zen4 that they think are most useful, maybe add a few of their own, and over time things will settle in exactly the same way that MMX/SSE did.
This one's the real answer (or at least a substantial part of it). On VA.gov, the USWDS components (and their composition into a modular forms system) was a large part of making sure that applications met the accessibility needs of the general public.

no, my claim is that if grades are not a good measure of proficiency, it is irrelevant whether they are an objective measure or not. I have not studied the field well enough to know whether they actually are a good measure or not.
Tenants cannot pick an arbitrary landlord L for a given, fixed rental unit U. They can pick a different rental unit with a different L.
Cash app, Venmo, Wise, and hundreds of other payment apps are also this - perhaps a bit larger, more reputable, more regulated, but not fundamentally different (or am I missing something?)
April 15 (ok. Sometimes a few days later based on holidays.) is pretty engrained into the minds of adult Americans who pay taxes. I have rarely watched tv news in years and don’t even get it any longer. But I can pretty much guarantee if you asked a bunch of middle class adults when tax day is, an overwhelming majority would tell you the correct answer.
The ransomware actually wouldn't exist at all without cryptocurrencies making the scheme viable.
The heart button means you liked that specific tweet, the follow button means you track that account. They shouldn't be treated as implicit endorsement. Endorsement of a specific tweet comes from a retweet; endorsement of an account comes from a tweet/retweet of yourself that explicitly states such endorsement.

Why do people have to radicalize everything?

Changing topics, megablocking seems like a really good idea to mass block bots manipulating trending topics, since Twitter won't do anything significant about them on its own.
Why do you not want a smart lock?

As a renter I wouldn't like it too, I would think why does the landlord need to know when I go/come to the house. But as a landlord I use smart lock and the need is different, its useful because I don't have to change locks every time a get a new renter, I just change the codes (specially if I consider doing short term rentals/airbnb at some point/season) and I don't have to worry about any spare copies of the keys made by the renters.

Generally smart locks, in my experience, need internet to change codes without having to be physically present, not for lock/unlock functionality.

I nearly posted exactly this, but was wondering if a single instance of a thing [I read about cats and then saw an ad about cats] would be enough to qualify. I agree that it does sound like a subjective bias and would need to know how many ads are seen that don't ring the bell.
Would it? As I understand it, most companies don't distribute losses to owners either. I believe that's the core of "limited liability" corporations. Except for capital losses for shareholders, but employees are already paid in RSUs too, so I think that's relatively moot.
If the externality will kill off everybody and thus the economy, surely the cost should trend towards infinity.

You and me both. Though, the older housing inventory often is 900-1200 sqft, which is a very suitable size for a starter home, but smaller than the modern homes...
And it wasn't a bonus but a raise, which is notably different.
Interesting. I think it would be more impactful/meaningful if it also had columns for inflation adjustment, income distribution, and average effective tax rate.

It seems like when it first started, it only taxed the rich and at a very low rate. Then it expanded from there, to the point where 20% was the min and 91% was the max. Then lower to what we have now.

> But sadly, most Google employees did seem to buy it.

What makes you say that? Everyone I know is aware that Google was doing dirt, but salaries were going up so fast at the time it hardly mattered. Especially when the collusion ended we went through several years of absurd salary growth. Even during the period of collusion, Google was being pretty generous with compensation (e.g. this event -- https://www.businessinsider.com/google-options-repricing-bai...).

Every programmer who was there at that time and has stayed has either been spending profligately or is fairly wealthy at this point.

Take a look at ScyllaDB Alternator [1], which is API compatible with DynamoDB. Scylla also supports multiregion clusters, which should help with latency. I've not used alternator, but I've had a good experience with Scylla, and it might be worth looking into as a lower effort way to move off DynamoDB.

Graph: Historical Marginal Tax Rate for Highest and Lowest Income Earners

For me, the line between personal and business is mostly very well drawn in the sand, and is rarely crossed and only after very careful evaluation of the possible consequences. Going into business with friends can end very badly. Becoming friends with people you work under or over can end very badly. That's probably not the same worldview as a twenty-something startup founder, but after 3 decades in this game I've got a bunch of boundaries around this stuff.

Good luck with it though.
Interestingly enough, I don't recall there ever being much pushback against static types at Stripe. The "evangelizing" work was more organizational: convincing people that yes, it is possible to build a production-ready type checker in 6-9 months[1], and then staff a team long term to continue improving it. I was at Stripe during that time, but on a different team, so I can't speak too much to the process.

Luckily I think Stripe is a well-functioning org with smart and reasonable leaders—much easier to present that case than e.g., trying to win debates on static vs dynamic typing on the internet!

No it isn't the entire issue. Or more precisely on your average desktop system this isn't really a problem. The jitter dance will suffice here.

The clue is in randomness seed files. You won't have one of these on a PC because you don't need it. Once you have your 128/256 bits of entropy you can stretch this using a DRBG for actual use and it'll be good.

The problem is systems that are much more deterministic, because they have simpler CPUs that don't do speculative execution, or have anything fancy by way of caching. Their peripherals are fixed at boot time via a devicetree file and udev style peripheral plug and play doesn't happen.

These tend to be embedded use cases. To get around this, you have a seed file to give you at least some good entropy. Then you mix in the best you can get and update that seed file for next boot. Hopefully this plus what you get while the device is on is enough for next time.

A lot of crypto including the tls you might use to get stuff off the internet will break if the quality of randomness is not good enough.

You are reading 'Linux' and hearing 'desktop' but the reality is there is a lot more embedded Linux than desktop Linux, and that's where the entropy problems start to creep in depending on the device in question.
Off topic: I decided to try to figure out what LWN stands for. Not on front page. Not in FAQ (unless I missed it. Should be first question.)

I think this oversight is typical for humans but especially for experts. It’s like the inverse of Dunning-Kruger: you’re too smart to realize what others don’t know.
"Lay ordinate and abscissa on the century. Now cut me a quadrant: third quadrant if you please, I was born in sixty-five."*

Now that I got that out of my system, yea. The 80's were nothing special and kinda sucked in retrospect. Cars were crap, everyone thought we were months away from WW III, if you wanted to learn something, you had to head over to the library and hope the books you wanted were still there. Wikipedia, etc., simply did not exist. Google was not a thing. People made sure they always had change on their person in case they needed to make a phone call (girls I knew would have a dime sewn into their bra for emergencies). I lived in NYC at the time, Times Square was a shithole (no, it wasn't "gritty," it was flat-out nasty).

* OTOH, I think Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones came out in the 80's. And so did Neuromancer and we ended it with "Sex, Lies and Videotape" and the fall of the Soviet Union, so it wasn't all bad.

[edit] just googled it and Time Considered was written shortly after I was born. So much for that!

[second edit]Yeah, I'm old. The book I was thinking of was actually Stars in my pocket like grains of sand which was actually published in the 80's. So win one, lose one :-)

"Significant" is possibly mis-reading it. They only do significant things if they have existential risk or an FEC reporting obligation. On Amazon's revenue, payrise is only "significant" if its company wide, above CPI. If they can pay box shifters less than 50c rise, they will do it. If they can pay coders 10%, they will do it. They won't pay box loaders and coders 10% unless the unionisation drive makes them.

Seriously? $100 per employee is almost too small to figure. Scale here. Amazon did $150b in quarterly revenue. QUARTERLY. it has 1.3m employees worldwide. $100 per employee is 0.001% of the quarters revenue.

It doesn't move the dial.
I might be wrong but I would think for something like this vectorizing wouldn't save time (since you would have to move data around before and afterwards. The real benefit of this is it lets you run two fma operations in parallel.

I don't understand why we don't just not tax income below say $20k. It can't be a lot of money for the government even in aggregate, and it would make a huge difference in low income people's lives, arguably larger than any of the government programs their taxes are going to fund.
The article pretty explicitly ignores them. It references three classes, Billionaires, Executives at Tech Companies and people living pay check to pay check. This is nonsense.

And there aren't not a lot of these people. Many many millions. If you are in the top quintile of American earners give or take and with some minor exceptions like living directly in SF or Manhattan, you are not roughing it unless you are making bad decisions with your money. The top quintile is greater than >60 Million people. The top decile, >30 million people, are living arguably the highest standard of living of any cohort of that size in human history. So again, hand waving these people away is not particularly useful or explanative.
A few examples.

Except it doesn't work the way you describe, because all it does is determine the quality of tenant that gets to stay in a housing unit in a shortage.

Eviction protections are incredibly helpful at preventing people on the margin from ending up homeless, by increasing the friction of evictions for landlords. This is absolutely necessary, because the cost to the tenant of getting kicked out of where they live is enormous - doubly and triply so if you are the kind of marginal person that gets kicked out of their home. It is incredibly disruptive to their life - much moreso than for someone in a stable situation not being able to find a different place to live.

Remove friction from evictions, and everyone on the margins is constantly at risk of losing their home - and once you do so, your ability to stay afloat becomes incredibly precarious.

If, on one extreme, tenancies were for life, and you had no way to kick someone out of a unit, you'd have an 'unfair' but stable distribution of housing. There would be very few life disruptions to people's lives, at the cost of housing being stuck in a local optimum.

If, on the other extreme, tenancies were day to day, and you constantly had to outbid other contenders for your apartment, you'd have a 'fair' but incredibly unstable distribution of housing. Between the incredibly high pain of moving/looking for a new place to live, anyone on the margins would suffer incredibly from this.

Economists rage against a stable but 'suboptimal' distribution of goods. But people whose lives constantly get upended from the instabilities of an 'optimal' distribution of goods are the ones who will suffer.

Harm minimization is exactly why there is more friction to throwing someone out of their house than 'the landlord feels like it'.
You vastly overestimate the effectiveness of the Argentinian government in enforcing currency controls and so forth.

Keeping money under the mattress is done in Argentina, but is not that common for large amounts since getting your hands on physical dollar bills in quantity in Argentina is extremely difficult. It's also difficult to determine if the bills are counterfeit, but Bitcoin does not have this problem.

I have heard stories of people paying their living expenses in Bitcoin and the people who receive it love that because the Argentinian peso is constantly devaluing. The person they pay spends all their money on the person paying them bitcoin because the currency devalues like crazy anyway, so it's much better to pay Pesos and save in Bitcoin.

Oh interesting. So maybe it’s intentionally meaningless now? Probably a good FAQ leading question. Thanks for looking it up.
I’m sorry but are you stupid? Your first comment is literally whataboutism, which I made fun of in response.
I mean I'd like to improve my ability to conceptualize dates (eg. Sept 21, Jan 2, May 20..) so that I can think about them analogously to how I think about locations. As an example, imagine your friend Bob is telling you that last weekend they went base jumping off of the world's fifth tallest bridge. That'd probably evoke a mental image of some bridge and Bob base jumping, but that mental image is untethered to any existing conceptions you have of places in the world. If instead they told you they base jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, you would be able to invoke your existing knowledge of where the Golden Gate Bridge is and associate that information with it. If your other friend, Alice, told you later that day she took a trip to San Francisco the past weekend, you'd realize that Alice and Bob were in SF over the same weekend.

For me, thinking about some date is like thinking about "the world's fifth tallest bridge". Unless there's a significant event that occurs on or very near that date, the date is mostly arbitrary to me and thinking about it doesn't connect with any existing knowledge. If Bob tells me he has a trip coming up on Nov 17 and Alice later tells me she has a trip on Nov 16, I'm unlikely to realize that the trips occur a day apart.

The day of the week for a given date would just be a handy thing to be aware of. It could also add context to the date that makes the date easier to visualize.

This is similar, though, to relying completely on GPS vs trying to be more geographically aware. There isn't necessarily a functional difference between the two since we essentially always have access to GPS. I don't think there'd be much of a difference between the version of my future where I continue using calendars as I have been and the version where I pursue some alternate way to think about dates. It would just be nice to have a more solid way of thinking about dates and connecting them to existing knowledge.
Such reports say nothing about circumstances. It has nothing to do with your "trustworthiness." It typically reflects economic precariousness. Did you not pay because you lost your job? Or maybe you incurred a huge medical bill which required you to skip out on some bills...etc.

Cold ideological dismissals like this that ignore what is actually happening to people are making me increasingly bitter. It's almost like you're saying "Let them eat cake."
I don't think you'd even need a modification to laws, you'd just need actual enforcement of existing laws when it comes to accessibility and tech.
Nowadays you get taxed because your mate lent you 1200 dollars through Venmo because you couldn't make the security deposit for the new overpriced apartment. (Of course your mate will be taxed as well when you repay him.) But Jeff Bezos can borrow against stock that he owns. Income tax is completely meaningless when the 1%-ers have tax evasion strategies that Joe Citizen couldn't possible take advantage of.
