It seems you can game it the same way you can game HN karma; by saying odious things not directly but in passive-aggresive language.

For example, I asked if I was the asshole for politely but firmly reminding my wife that it's her responsibility as a woman to iron my shirt.

The response?

Not the asshole.
You can say whatever you want, and many people who break the law do exactly that.

But in the end, evidence may show that you are not being truthful. For example, if the evidence demonstrates that you premeditated your actions, then nobody is going to believe that it was a split second mistake.
I disagree with the position in this post -- in my experience swap has universally been a contributor to system instability and performance issues. I run all my Linux servers without swap, and for workstations try to restrict its use to suspend/hibernate only.

1. Allowing a process's mapped pages to be flushed to disk will cause performance to become unpredictable. This applies to both anonymous pages written to swap, and file-backed pages. The first thing every server process should do is mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) so the kernel can't decide to swap out parts of your RPC handlers. More sophisticated implementations (e.g. databases) can selectively mlock() specific pages.

2. Using swap to mitigate memory overcommit isn't useful because the process that overcommitted its memory should just be killed instead. This is where cgroups are useful: you can load test to understand the allocation curve, then tell the kernel to limit your service's process to 64 GiB or whatever. If it tries to go wild and take up more than its share, it gets a SIGKILL instead of taking the entire machine out of service.

3. Swap will destroy SSDs. You thought the write load from logging is bad? Try putting a consumer-grade SSD into a machine with 512 GiB RAM and let the kernel swap to it -- that SSD will be dead in a year.
I don't think it's incredibly rare, I've known plenty of people to start with nothing and get "rich", as in, worth enough to retire by 40. Unless your idea of rich is like 7 zeroes.
I started in C and generally when people say 'rewrite it in Rust' I just roll my eyes, because I know how hard that is. But seeing it happen on a sophisticated project has made me take another look.

Obviously for the embedded world everything is pitched at C currently and I don't think that will change, but for larger projects this is proof that my intuition was wrong.

I suppose that's a long winded way of saying that it might be time for me to learn Rust.
Folks frequently underestimate the danger that we are exposed to in daily life, and this shows it. As a mechanical engineer who used to frequent r/watchpeopledie before it was closed I have immense respect for powerful, sharp or fast/heavy objects; and abundant caution towards things I am unfamiliar with (eg chemicals).

I sometimes wish some videos/cases of commonly used products causing accidents were taught in school/uni. The vast majority of people have no idea how dangerous an escalator can be.

(If you're downvoting me, could you tell me why? If there's something inaccurate in my post I'd then correct it as I've done in the past.)
Well so there's actually tons of wannabes with IP that isn't worth anything. Tons and tons and tons. How do you differentiate between them and the real deal? If you can differentiate, why are you still a retail banker?
Yep. HN is fast.
Are there any other more internationally minded tech communities that you recommend checking out?
I think you're missing an obvious option: Lenovo supports Linux on all Thinkpads, and the AMD models like the T14 are a great bang for your buck, much less than $2000 even with 3y next business day warranty service.

I've been doing dev on recent Thinkpads for the past couple years, and honestly they're the least hassle of any laptop I've used in the past decade. I've run Arch, Ubuntu, whatever. work great, reasonably priced, excellent support.
Method chaining, while possible, isn’t something I’d say is really encouraged in Go. Returned values should be handled explicitly. There are plenty of cases where it could be fine, but if a function can error, you wouldn’t want to chain anyways.
A past project used OR Tools. I generally liked it. It was a bit confusing at times and the documentation was a bit cryptic for using some of the advanced features, though the community was good about answering questions.

In general, I would recoment OR Tools.
I did not comment particularly about this article. I commented on the GMO technology in general.

Freak mutations also occur in nature. It does not happen as fast as how human technology modifies.
> Do you know what happens if you accidentally couple lines during one of the manufacturing steps?

I understand the consequences. I also understand both both physics and computer science. A 32-bit integer is sufficient to subdivide something the size of a wafer mask to well under the wavelength of the light used for photolithography. There is literally no way for additional precision to matter for things like "coupling lines". It is impossible.

See for yourself: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=3+cm++*+2%5E-32

Iterated algorithms are a different beast entirely, but there are fixed-point or integer algorithms that sidestep these issues.

You cannot imagine the volume of computer science research that has been written on shape-shape intersections in both 2D and 3D! Literal textbooks worth. Hundreds if not thousands of PhD-level papers. The sheer intellectual effort that has gone into optimisations in this space is staggering.

Hence my incredulity. I've worked with 128-bit numbers and even arbitrary-precision numbers, but only in the context of computational mathematics. There are no "physics constraints" in mathematics to limit the benefit of additional range or precision.

Also, the financial argument doesn't hold water either. Modern chips have tens of billions of features. The data volume can exceed the size of main memory of even the largest computers. Data representation efficiency and simulation speed absolutely would have tangible business benefits: faster iteration cycles, lower simulation cost, better optimisation solutions, etc...

This is literally the point of the article -- being able to do things in GPUs using their native 32-bit maths capabilities is a huge benefit to the chip design workflow. This requires clever algorithms and data structure design. You can't be wasteful because "it feels safer" if you have a budget of 24 GB (or whatever) to squeeze the mask data into.

> assume the experts in it are wrong?

Yes! Something I've noticed is that there is surprisingly little "cross pollination" between fields. You can have very smart people in one industry blithely unaware that another industry has solved their "very hard problem". I've seen this with biology, physics, medicine, etc...

How many chip design automation experts have also done low-level game engine programming? Maybe half a dozen in the whole world? Less?

I haven't looked at JuMP in a while - the last time I tried it was when I was still doing personal blogging (https://ryanjoneil.github.io/posts/2014-07-18-are-we-getting...).

I remember liking JuMP, but Julia itself didn't feel ready yet. Some of the packages had weird behaviors. For example, Gadfly took several minutes to render some of my charts. IIRC when I looked at the source, it was solving a MIP to compute the best bounding box for display purposes.

I should probably check it out again.

Also: agreed regarding Gurobi licensing.
Make a nice cup of tea & hop on the search engine of your choice for all the proof you’d like. I promise it won’t take much of your time, but I’m not going to be your personal source compiler.
It never occurred to me that loop unrolling could end up being a de-optimization due to compiler optimizations!
This reads like that series of scenes in the Big Short where they go down to Florida, culminating with Steve Carrell declaring "there's a bubble."
It takes time for an industry to absorb technologies that require changes in behaviour, organization and values. Even longer if multiple industries are involved, general physical infrastructure, institurions, and consumer culture.

Perhaps even related to a human generation, or even living memory (like physics progresses one funeral at a time). Though the inflection points found lack that duration-scale and periodicity.

Just on curve fitting: you need some penalty for each extra line (noisy data can always be "fitted" better to enough lines). I expect the paper has a large section on this issue of statistical significance, but I can't access it.

I do feel it's kind of hard to say if such a pattern is "really" there, where exactly the breaks are, or if it's just a noisy artifact.
> Most of Japan is rural. It's not uncommon to walk or bike up to an hour away to get to the nearest store.

This is exaggerated. There are some people live in such rural area, but definitely not majority in every prefecture. I agree latter part, since such rural area is very few risk.
> Quantum dot film are becoming common now (they have been used for a while, but are mainstream now because Rec. 2020)

not really, there are essentially zero quantum dot based white light products commercially available right now, apart from some very niche offerings that are expensive and unreliable like osram/plt leds. and what does 'because Rec. 2020' even mean as a justification?
"Reckless endangerment" doesn't necessarily have to have harm done to be a crime.

Its his-ish property. The FAA got him for the flying equivalent of reckless driving, but its not a felony to crash your car.

Its just expensive as hell, and the knock on fines will only add onto it.
Ahh now I understand why people disable swap on Linux boxes.

I came from a SunOS/Solaris & HP-UX background (late 90s) where we routinely configured swap for the machines.

Later on I encountered Linux admins who refused to configure even a small amount of swap and they couldn't explain why. It seemed very odd to me. Nobody ever said the simple "swap sucks in the Linux kernel" to me.

Sorry, if we're speculating about alternative financial systems comparing to the existing one is a pretty natural direction to go.

As for your next point, I'm not sure in what sense our current currency is backed by real human activity in a way that crypto is not. Currency is backed by bullets, bombs, and bayonets ( and sometimes softly spoken implications of the aforementioned alliteration). I guess that's a sort of human activity.
No problem, I can do the coding, but it seems to me that you have great writing skills, and we are interested in solving related problems. This small thread could give you an idea of what I'm doing:

> Japan builds dense, mixed use neighborhoods.

This is true, but it’s not like they have an alternative. The population density and mountainous terrain pretty much dictates the urban design.

I’d say the UK is a better comparison, I was quite surprised to see tightly packed row houses even out in the countryside where open space appeared to be plentiful.
A mini version of this was presented in the wonderful & amazing "Linux Memory Management At Scale" video, also by Chris Down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSJFLBJusVY&t=11m42s

You should have swap. You should have swap!!

This video is one of the most amazing, useful, gem-after-gem explanations of Linux you could possibly ever encounter. There are so so few who have the in depth knowledge, across so many broad experiences, at such scale, to understand Linux's memory management.

Side topic #1: this video's advice on cgroups just makes me sad, because I love Kubernetes, but Kubernetes building it's own scheduler, in contest with not in tandem with the kernel's cgroup system, is super super super f-ing sad. Kubernetes running all it's shit in a single cgroup is some decrepit sad sad shit. I still love & user Kubernetes, but god damn, for what basically amounts to a cloud os, it's using the underlying host-OS extremely extremely poorly. This video was key in making me think & consider how much we've lost, how sad it is we don't take advantage of what the kernel is trying to do for us with trading off workloads. Leaving the kubernetes scheduler to try to fit all the workloads feels like we're letting a bunch of ignorant elementary schoolers run the show. It's embarrassingly superficial.

Side topic #2: it would be really interesting to try to go a bit deeper on the topic. I'd love a world where we can easily ask- what are these anonymous rarely used memory pages we get to swap out? That's the main advantage, under low & medium pressures: the system has some flexibility to move out things not really used, where-as it has to keep everything resident without swap. But answering: what are these things not being used: that probably requires bptrace foo to figure out what regions are getting swapped, plus deep skills to figure out what those addresses correspond to. I doubt Linux will just tell us, oh, I evicted this text block from the binary. (It likely doesn't know much about what blocks it's evicting.)
The vast majority of people have no idea how dangerous a simple stepladder can be. One day I plucked my 75 year old neighbor off one whilst trying to one-handedly use a chainsaw (that a fit adult would have a problem handling with two hands, so forget about one) whilst holding on to the branch that he was cutting through. It took some convincing to get him to come down. They don't make that particular brand anymore this guy had lived through so much that I don't think he thought what he was doing was dangerous at all, but there really was no way that would have ended well. No safety gear, nothing at all, and a chainsaw so old that it didn't have a chain brake...
Indoctrination is a powerful thing. Perhaps they even believed or wanted to believe themselves.

It takes real effort to push back against the disinformation of the day.
He owes them a credit at the end of the video, which they have received.
Things seeming like they are the wrong size is usually a sign of incorrect calibration for inter-pupilary distance.
If he made a claim against his insurance they might nail him for insurance fraud, with the FAA report to back up the claim that would have a pretty high chance of sticking.
Does the remark about immigrants make sense? The typical immigrant can't be more concerned about fitting in that the typical native. Because the typical native's behavior determines what "fitting in" means.
Some people can’t accept the fact that nothing separates them from a common beggar beyond luck.
That would, at best, get you a 709 ride (reexamination by the FAA to see if you really do qualify to hold your pilot certificate) or mandatory re-training. There is no universe in which the FAA would hear that and just say, "lol, totes, we get it man, planes are hard." Responding appropriately to an engine failure is a required skill for even the most basic pilot certificate and if you can't do it, you have no business flying an airplane.
You have absolutely amazing eyes.

Wow is electricity really that expensive in CA? Our total expenditure on electricity over 20 years is around 20k.

But in CA that site says that their net 20 year savings using solar is 44k-60k. That's insane. Their savings alone is 3 times the cost of our entire electric bill...

I avoid it because of unsafe billing practices. As someone higher up in the comments said, "don't buy stuff you can't afford". The problem there is understanding AWS billing is an industry itself. Numerous stories of people who thought they understood something they didn't. Software bugs resulting in bankrupty.

I have to have billing predictability out of my service provider.

I'm not aware of AWS employment issues other than it being a place to burn you out, but the wearhouse side has had plenty of newsworthy incidents.

Adjusting IPD is really annoying at times. Probably one of the main reasons I pushed for auto IPD in our feature set.
Because it is uncertain if the IP will bring in any money -- because it has not done so in the past so far, has it?. If you can show you're already getting some revenue out of the IP then I think you will have a good chance with the banks. They like existing businesses with existing cash-flow.

Garage sales typically bring in some value or at least the value of the goods is relatively easy to evaluate. Not so with IP.
I agree. I also have spent a lot of time thinking about how to make PCG better. My conclusion is that the key is intent/design. The PCG algorithm needs to first generate the high-level gameplay design/intent and then the context. Instead of just arbitrarily placing things, it needs to place things constrained by what makes sense from a gameplay/fun point of view.
> We have no idea the damage that constant mask-wearing could do.

Pshaw. Many people wear masks constantly. I wear a mask for days at a time when I’m woodworking. Sculptors wear masks while creating their art. Surgeons wear masks for ages during complex operations. My dentist wears his mask all day every day. The guy who paints your house will wear a mask all day. It is simply ridiculous to suggest that we don’t know what mask-wearing will do.

No one cares about averages, and this is not a game of statistics where I'd be interested in playing out the game just because the odds are in my favor.

We don't need to care about the state of "most" strangers when all it takes is one outlier that turns out to be a psychotic.
Why bother with options at all at that point? Why not just go directly to RSUs?
Wanting to be landed gentry is not hypocrisy. ("want to be landed gentry" is your interpretation, but I'll stipulate it for the purposes of this response.)

Note that a significant fraction, probably even a majority, of the 10M prospective Londoners would much rather live in today's "only 14M London" than the "25M London" that you think should happen.

Are these prospective Londoners wanna-be landed gentry hypocrites?

If you have stock to bring in, you bought it somewhere, right? That "somewhere" should have filed forms reporting on your purchase, kept records and stuff.

With bitcoin, a part of !!fun!! from holding non-security assets is all the accounting you have to do. Enjoy it, that's a part of a bargain. That said, other countries like Japan mandate regulated exchanged to keep track of their customers assets, assist with cost-basis computations, etc.

My point being, regulated institutions can make filing taxes easy for most of the people, with unsophisticated circumstances. Usually being an employee of a single business is considered "unsophisticated" enough to not deal with any forms, letting your employer do these things for you. There is no reason why other common life situations cannot be made as easy, like having deductions for mortgage, purchasing securities via regulated brokerages, etc.

If your situation is "sophisticated", then surely you gotta enjoy accounting and reporting then. But that should be necessary only for a fringe percentage of people.

There are externalities to consider that make a later release less likely, too - it was a launch title, to match the pack-in of SMB in the NES and Super Mario World as one of two games available when the SNES launched.

Wikipedia’s entry on SM64 tells me that the N64’s launch was delayed because Miyamoto wanted more time to polish the game. I don’t think a later release would have been possible. This was the flagship title, the system seller. Come play Mario. In 3d.

I grew up with two handfuls of siblings. I may not have kids, but I was the eldest and that... that gets pretty close sometimes; since things land on your shoulders when the parents are unable to pick up the slack. Etc etc.

My mother gave us the 'free-range' approach; but with every adult knowing to report back whatever we were doing. heh. More like CIA free-range. Looking back, I think she made the right choice overall; but maybe could have dialed it back on the community watch part. Not that we didn't get away with anything we shouldn't have, but rather her 'eyes and ears' were really quite bad at passing along what actually happened due to the outside observer effect.

So we would get these situations from time to time where adults needed to be corrected, and of course adults always take corrections from children really well. Always. lol. (Sarcasm for those who are missing it)

Long story short, if you are going to let your kids be free-range, actually let them be free-range. And if you are going to take 'hints' from the neighbors; make sure those neighbors aren't lying asshats.

Just my two cents as the eldest of ... 11? Pretty sure it's 11.
