> Privacy is often inconvenient. Understanding is inconvenient.

You're so right. What else?

- Safety is inconvenient

- Growth is inconvenient

- Success is inconvenient

- Long term happiness is inconvenient

We could write a very, very long list of all the good things in life
and find, at root, that they are "inconvenient".

That's why I consider the word convenience to be the modern form of
the Greek work Thanatos, which is the "death drive" toward atrophy,
stasis, forgetfulness and rigor mortis. Living is "Inconvenient", and
because everything worth having costs something, convenience is
"anti-life".

But that's a lot of beard-stroking philosophy. A more interesting
question for hackers might be:

"Exactly when did we become the arse-wipers of the world, coddling
everyone in "convenience" lest their delicate brows produce a bead
of sweat or their minds be troubled by a moment of doubt?"

Here's a quote from Digital Vegan pondering the writing of De
Tocqueville:

Political scientist Alexis De Toqueville writing in his 1840
Democracy in America [DeTocqueville35] questions the perils of
convenient systems so perfect in their pampering and coddling that
they render life pointless. Of what today we would call cybernetic
governance, he writes:

`` That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and
mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like
that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood;
but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual
childhood: it is well content that the people should
rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For
their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it
chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that
happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and
supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures,
manages their principal concerns, directs their industry,
regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their
inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care
of thinking and all the trouble of living?''

One option would be to go into BIOS and see if there's some way of just locking your CPU to one of the lower clock speeds. This will give lower benchmarking numbers of course, but at least they should be fairly stable. (in Linux, it also often possible to tinker with frequencies while the system is running).

Even on a desktop this sort of thing is sometimes necessary, for example my CPU has different clock speeds depending on how many processors are running, so I have to lock it to the all-core clock if I want to see proper parallel speedups.

This might be annoying for day-to-day usage (although, CPUs really are insanely performant nowadays so maybe it will not be too bad).
As I prepared to travel to Bruges, I tried to take a few precautions to avoid detection. I planned to fly from Washington to Paris, then pay cash for a train ticket to Bruges. I hoped that would reduce the digital evidence of my travel.

I love that movie, too, but wouldn't it make more sense to fly into Schiphol with a Brompton and pedal up to Haarlem to meet the source? It seems like it'd be a lot harder for the FBI guys to track you, and it'd be a lot quicker, too, and you'd still get to see the canals and old cobble streets and buildings and all that.

The lectures and assignments for Oregon State's CS475 (Parallel Programming) are all available online. [0] There are lectures [1] and a project [2] about SIMD. I really enjoyed the entire course as a survey of parallel and high-performance computing. The full course covers multi-processing, multi-threading, caching, SIMD, GPUs (CUDA and OpenCL) and MPI. The projects are in C/C++ (along with OpenMP, CUDA and OpenCL). FYI, I think the last two projects use some large research GPU bank that you have to have special access to use, so you'd be out of luck on implementing the projects for those.

Makes sense in principle, but who would ever trust James Risen after his reporting on Wen Ho Lee?

I mean let’s see, Taiwanese person is going to spy for mainland China? Really? And the evidence for this is that blueprints not available to the suspect, generated well downstream from where the suspect works or has access, are leaked to China… Right, let’s sensationalize some bs theories in the NYT even though there is nothing there, at the expense of a man who, oh well, is Taiwanese, so who cares? Not James Risen.

Might be a matter of statistics: All countries you mention are significantly smaller than Germany, i.e. have fewer companies, so the chances of you encountering a (fraudulent) German company when doing business in the EU are higher(?)

When writing multithreaded code I need some visualization of where everyone could be. It's expensive invariant management.

There is a partial order that is fine and there is a partial order that is not fine. If we could define the orders with a sorting function and apply them to events in real time that would be perfect.

In effect my partial order cannot overlap your partial order. This is the grounds of the YATA algorithm.

Happens before relation is really powerful. But it needs to be visible to other processes.
Do we really assume this will not cause 2nd and 3rd order effects? If we do, I can't find any mention of this in the OP, nor does a cursory google search reveal anything related.

The cost to yourself is the same. However, the benefit to others varies drastically.

I think EA is on firmer ground when the boundary has already been set. Let's say you have $10,000 that you've already decided goes to charity. (Suppose it's in a donor-advised fund.) What is the best way to spend it? EA says that it matters how you spend it, that you should try do at least as good job at this as you do choosing an investment when you invest your savings, that it's a hard problem, and that there should be charity advisers to help you make a good decision.
The other thing I remember about 80's compilers is a lot of the vendors wanted to drink your milkshake too. They had licensing fees for every unit you shipped. Basically meaning they wanted a cut of your gross revenue.
Another company in a similar space, although focused on tidal currents is Minesto.

The problem with wind vs. water is the extreme harshness of the environment.

Not likely we will ever see anything like that in the renewable field.

Risen said the NYT killed his story about the CIA, which was later published in his book and caused the Obama administration to subpoena him for his sources.
Just to point out, we would be harvesting a lot more than we use because of inefficiencies in capturing, storage, and transmission strategies. Also note that the amount we use is lower than it would otherwise be if we had access to more energy, industry is energy-constrained.
You can still buy music in physical form, so nothing has been lost. If you like that method, you can still do it.

Most people don’t, however, because it is much cheaper and easier to stream. Clearly what we have lost is not worth the price to maintain what we had, or people would still be buying music instead of streaming.

I cringe when I look at this. Everything was sooooo primitive back then! We've become spoiled with programming languages like Rust, C# and Python, almost all of which are free to use.

I sometimes use a calculator at work when sketching and estimating an idea, and when checking my detailed work. It's an extra layer of defense against a mistake, but I never rely on it.
Most US companies will hire remote "inside the USA" but not outside the USA due to potential foreign tax and legal liabilities. While the USA might be good for the reasons you listed, hiring remote full-time employees can be a legal minefield. If every employee is a contractor then that introduces its own legal issues in the USA.
I'm using cargo-limit crate for "cargo lcheck", "cargo ltest" or "cargo lclippy" to show errors before warnings before clippy warnings. You're right that "cargo check" gives the same priority to warnings as errors, and it's annoying.
I fully agree. I wish more intro-level documentation had this kind of easy to follow and progressive level of detail.

All too many things like this either dive straight into the deep end inundating you with superfluous details when all you want is a primer, or provide so little information as to be nearly useless.

Not sure I understand the question but the two tools company started with were (1) visualizing control flow graph of a single method/function (2) extracting hierarchical components from directory or package structure and relationships between them (imports, includes, calls etc). The ones that ended up being used were byproducts of the “compilers” that we had to implement: finding logical errors and security vulnerabilities based on control flow and data flow analysis (pretty much what conventional compilers like clang and gcc do for code generation and optimization).
Absolutely. You could just literally stop showing up one day, it is the company’s problem at that point. 2 weeks notice is expected, and giving less is considered a bit of a betrayal, but it’s perfectly legal. As much as like the idea of having the security of a contact, being forced to work honestly seems kind of strange to me.
You’re still missing the point of “hypothetical”. It’s not a word I’d gotten around to learning the German for before writing this comment despite moving to Berlin in 2018, so as you’ve indicated you’re from the Balkans, I’m wondering if you know what I mean by it?

I’m not asking you to judge the likelihood of two things, nor their consequences, I’m asking you to tell me if you think they are equivalent. Does A=B, where A is a 10% recession, etc.

> Russia produces enough food, that we (=rest of europe) have problems if they don't export

False.

Russia exported €1.8 billion agricultural products to the EU last year:

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/ATAG/2022/7292...

The EU agriculture sector is about 1.5% of its $US 17,000 billion nominal GDP, i.e. $US 255 billion nominal, which at current exchange rates is €237 billion, or to put it another way, what it gets from Russia is 0.75% by value of what it makes itself.

I’m old enough to remember when the EU’s biggest problem was colossal over-production of food, and it’s agricultural policy being called a market-distorting subsidy.

This is also backed up by EU countries having access to more food per person than Russia. Not that it matters because both are about 1000 kcal/day higher than actually needed: https://ourworldindata.org/food-supply (because, in case you skimmed over the bit at the top, hypotheticals about what constitutes “equal harm”).

> they also have enough oil/gas, that again, we have problems, if they don't export it

Yes (hence Hungary realpolitik), but not insurmountable problems, and we should be moving away from those fuels anyway even without this war.

> they also have most of the raw materials available locally plus a lot of companies that produce everything needed for basic infrastructure.

Define “basic infrastructure”.

Then ask yourself why Russian tank production halted.

> have gas to export/sell to them to be able to pay for all that stuff.

Not on the scale they need to keep their economy running.

> pay more and you'll get workers to do the work for you.

Vets are licensed. The number required is greater than all of the ones in the UK.

As for crops, the farmers have tried this and get basically no takers. Can they try again for even more money? Only if the supermarket are willing to pay more for the food, which requires the customers to be willing to pay more for the food, which they can’t because too many are already short of money.
Any nonsequential problem can be divided into sequential subprobolems.

> things might get better in the future but for now we have to implement it another way

There's several possible answers.
1) For the issue you pointed to, that we cannot have arrays of N vectors, it's a reasonable workaround to instead allocate an array of N vectors' worth of elements, and trust the compiler to elide unnecessary Load/Store. This often works using clang, and would avoid having to manually unroll here. I do prefer to minimize the amount of compiler magic required for good performance, though, so typically we're unrolling manually as shown in that code.

2) If there are compiler bugs, typically the workarounds have to stay in because in the open-source world people are still using that compiler years later.

Automatically detecting when things get better is an interesting idea but I am not yet aware of such infrastructure.
Congrats, sounds like a valuable service (saving people's time). Is it available online or still in development?
They say. For now…
It's not a "bad" language, others are more suited for "public" development where you want others to read the code someday. Where expressing your intent to the computer is all you need, Perl is still unmatched, I think. When you need to please a wider audience then other languages have been found more popularly palatable.

Be careful regarding taxes and "Betriebsstätten". If you are living in Germany and your company management is mainly operating in Germany you are liable still for local taxes ("Hinzurechnungsbesteuerung"). There are also special rules depending on how much of the company stock you own. Also you may have to register a "Gewerbe" in certain cases if you are doing business in Germany (e.g. selling something) from a foreign entity.

So in a bad case as majority owner you will then have to do the taxes and other admin topics in the country of your company AND in Germany and you'll always have a special relationship with a curious tax office.

So the only way to have really a startup in a non-German jurisdiction is to make sure that your management decisions (and usually also some infrastructure) is set up there.
That's poor reasoning for multiple reasons:

- Krita also crashed on me when Ubuntu 18.04 was recent.

- Most Krita crashes are on startup, before I do anything.

- GIMP never crashes on me with heavy usage. In fact, few graphics manipulation apps crash on me.

- Finally, like I said, Krita crashes often on the latest macOS.

I think the "blame" is entirely on Krita. That said, I'm patient and understand software has bugs; Krita will be stabilized eventually.

> Although Brown says "imperfect-information games" here, he actually means a specific type of imperfect-information games: the type where the opponent's strategy is not fixed. We're talking about games where your opponent can change their strategy in order to exploit weaknesses in your strategy.

This isn't really the central problem of imperfect information. Consider that in a perfect information game, your opponent will also adjust their strategy to exploit weakness in your strategy. So if it was the central challenge, why does it happen in both? You can rule it out as what he was referring to, because it doesn't discriminate between the two types of games. The central challenge in imperfect information games is you have to play with respect to your information set, not the subgame you are in. So the policies and outcomes of other subgames influences the expected value of the subgame you are in. In perfect information, the only game in your information set is the subgame you are in. So you only have to play with respect to the subgame. That is what makes perfect information different from imperfect information. It discriminates between the two game types.

>It looked like shit the last time I used it (~2019) especially as your classes get more and more functions built into it. I also can't imagine how shitty it looks for codebases that have a significant coupling problem.

That's the point, right? Visually representing the complexity of the system. I've used IntelliJ to do this before to show why modifying certain behavior was so slow and error-prone. In that case there were 3-4 classes with heavily overlapping functionality because, surprise, in the past there were multiple teams contributing to the same codebase that all did their own thing.

The Intercept and James Risen have almost no credibility left with anyone who has payed attention to their devolution over the years, culminating in them forcing Glenn Greenwald's hand in resigning, funnily enough over the now known to be true Hunter Biden laptop story. [1]

Risen has long been a mouthpiece for military industrial complex CIA-esque talking points, and nobody should trust anything he says. I wouldn't be surprised if this story is some strange cover for him designed to make him seem like a "real" journalist, but even in this story he admits he used this dubious lawyer frequently. He says he doesn't know when the lawyer started informing on him, but an educated guess would say he always was! Was the source ever even real, or a honeypot in the first place? (source didn't go to this meeting why?) Risen fails to do even fundamental reporting on how he got the information in this story (he obtained audio recordings... how?!)

Risen says this lawyer gave a masterful performance to the FBI. Risen could at least try to do the same when trying to blow smoke at the public. This story makes no sense and Risen should be considered useless as journalist.

For what it's worth, I've been reading The Intercept since it started and he was always raked across the coals in the now disabled-unless-logged-in comments for methods like this since he came over from the NYT. The Intercept itself is now barely even a shadow of it's former self.
