I wouldn't say XDP is an alternative to DPDK. XDP severely limits what you can do as you insert code inside of the kernel. DPDK exposes the NIC to regular user code so you can do what you want. XDP is useful when you want to modify what the kernel does with packets before they go to their destination application, DPDK when you want to do whatever with the packets without sending them to any other application.
Apparently I'm just shy of being fugly and look seven years younger than I am. Which is kind of damning with faint praise, but in a dark room when I'm barely awake? I'll take it.
I don't just want to live, I want to understand why many things still seem to operate so irrationally in terms of cost. vs. value received.

I actually appreciated the unique perspective, and the experience, and don't care that it is not statistically validated, since the point is to stimulate thinking.

It suggests a few aspects to look into - an overly litigious society, crappy systems, an insulation of patients and doctors from the costs of treatments by insurance intermediatories etc...

I used this to make automatic birthday messages based on the birthday’s calendar.

Since the contacts app syncs with the birthday calendar, it’s easy enough to map names to phone numbers.

I have been using Blackbox for more than a decade now. What I think sets it apart from other window managers and light desktops is that it looks good out of the box: professional and restrained, which is the way I like it. It is also fast and efficient. Other windows managers and light desktops look kind of amateurish to me. I find it strange that software with nice looks is often bloated and inefficient. Designing texts and widgets with proper size, alignment and spacing, and choosing nice colors won't make the software slower.
Some critique from a seasoned kernel exploiter https://twitter.com/d_olex/status/1544008208641306624:

"You have at least two race condition bugs in your code: manual traverse of ActiveProcessLinks without locking the list, and same issue with process objects you're working with. Correct approach: use appropriate kernel functions to reference needed _EPROCESS in error safe way."

And https://twitter.com/d_olex/status/1544013068388433920:

"Seriously, never ever touch nt!PsActiveProcessHead list with your own code, nt!ZwQuerySystemInformation() with SystemProcessInformation info class can do it for you without any risks to catch BSoD ... and if you want direct _EPROCESS pointer for your fuckery -- it's better to obtain it with nt!PsLookupProcessByProcessId() and free it with nt!ObDereferenceObject() call at the end."
Would something like the Linux kernel randstruct plugin, make this kind of escalation code more complicated? Suspend your disbelief and assume that every windows user compiled his own Windows kernel on installation :).

Ask HN: What's your workflow for personal learning?
I really want to build my own queue of articles, videos and podcasts etc that is like my own personal curriculum of things I want to learn.

I want to be able order the queue though into a logical order and work through it sequentially. Both reading articles or listening via text to speech when on the go.

I use Pocket currently to save articles and listen but it doesn't have the ability to order the queue.

My problem is I always jump around just reading the latest things I saved or come across rather than building myself a stricter curriculum and sticking to getting through it in a logical order.

Does anyone else do something like this to structure your personal study and how do you do it?

Cheers!
Yeah that is my plan. I'm leaning on arch and debian + xfce.
If CUDA feels bad, there's this cross platform API called OpenCL. It's even possible to generate OpenCL from C++ without directly writing kernels with Boost.Compute, and I wouldn't call C++ an esolang. And if you're fine with nVidia, there's stuff like Thrust and cuBLAS. It's true that it's not taught, but again optimization isn't interesting for computer scientists, software engineers are taught it's evil and physicists are supposed to just read a book and get to work.

I think distributed computing is OK because it again enables things that would be impossible with a single computer, no matter how huge.

Wow that is pretty.
Oh, absolutely. It's the lack of quiet successes that is notable here. Like Linux, or apt, or nginx, or Python, or at least a popular Python module. Or anything, really.

After two decades of consulting in the software industry, you belong to a certain professional network. People love to talk, even if they won't always name their customers. I know people using formal methods and verification, in niches of the industry really, but have no indication that TDD is utilized for any big flagship products where it really matters.

I'm sure there are a few highly blogged about industry stories somewhere, but there's a world of a difference between those and a long time success in software development as a whole. There were high profile books written about Rational Unified Process, for example, and ~ nobody uses that anymore.
> Kubernetes (the operating system of the cloud)

The post just loses credibility after this statement. Yes, Kubernetes is important, but "operating system" is a clearly defined technical term. Using it arbitrary on something that is clearly not an OS to achieve some sort of an off-topic emphasis effect undermines the credibility of the content.
My impression is also very different. Preteens losing their mind over korean bands like BTS and big on japanese anime, due to the internet. The same all over the world.

I published a paperback book in lithuanian: "Tinginio manifestas", about positive parts of laziness. I just spammed the heck out of my blog mailing list :-)

Wasn't the best promotion, but I did manage to sell out half of the printed books (~500/1000, book readership in Lithuania isn't huge) this way.

Nowaday I would also use Google/Facebook ads. It would cost a bit, but it should still be profit. (With an added bonus of using those ads as self promotion for your name, useful for your later books.)

I remember reading a book a while back that mentioned that the luxury shops in airports don't make any money and don't expect to make sales. They're there to make you see Armani handbags for $2500 and think 'Wow, Armani must be a really luxury brand to have $2500 handbags on sale!'.

This then makes you more likely to later buy an Armani t-shirt for $80.

The store in the airport is there to make you think the brand is glamorous, to convince you of its mystique, not to sell things.

With 8Mb the speed was OK for me and most PC XT at the time were not perceived as slow for office or industrial usage.

Need help to grow a practice exam site
hi all, i have developed this site with practice questions for a few certifications. Some questions are drafted by me and some submitted by users.
for some premium questions there's a small fee that gives you access for a few months.
i am starving for ideas on how to promote the site and increase it's reach. The content is good (i believe), i also have heard some good reviews from people saying that the practice questions helped them succeed in the exam.
Any ideas are welcome.. also if anybody wants to get involved to help/grow the site, please reach out to me.
FFMPEG is a phenomenal tool. If you are open to building your own, I would recommend a workflow using FFMPEG for transcoding your raw MP4 files to HLS or MPEG-DASH. You can then maintain simple movie metadata (pull info from open movie data sources) in either files or a simple database. A shell script can generate your static pages and you can serve them from a simple web server.

HLS and MPEG-DASH can be played in HTML pages using a video player library such as shaka-player.

The key to making this useful is searchable metadata.

I think for most people, in most places, ovens are more common than pizza ovens, but the observation that 'In America ...' kind of emphasises my point that not everyone's in America (or more specifically, the subset of North America that is the USA), so assumptions around uncommon temperature units are ill-advised.

One hundred percent agree (or 144/144 if you prefer) that pizza should be cooked hot & fast. I'm aiming for 90s, though I've yet to get the air / floor temperature balance just right, and typically end up around 180s at best.
This year's Fields Medals should be of great interest for this crowd: most of the winners study concepts very familiar to computer scientists, while their methods touch upon the deepest, most intricate areas of pure mathematics. From sphere packings, prime numbers and lattices to percolation theory to information complexity to point configurations and much more. They are studied using representation theory, matroids, automorphic forms, real algebraic geometry and probabilistic methods among many other tools.

All this is very exciting for me as well, since these Fields medals reflect almost perfectly my own aesthetics and research preferences. Great year!
Might it simply be the social setting that makes it work in a class and not with your own kids? At a work offsite I'm happy enough to choose between a walking tour or a brewery visit as mandatory fun, but if I'm the same city with my wife we're probably gonna do something different

How does sandboxing kill modding? You still can modify anything inside the sandbox, the running process just can't escape the sandbox. (Meaning any damage is mitigated, or more controlled) By a sandbox, I don't mean we should lock our systems behind a jailed garden like consoles do it.
> If you look at (the very few) recent nuclear projects in western countries, you will notice that a) they take very long to build (longer than to bridge any gap from gas and coal and longer than we have due to global warming),

That's not always the case, and it's mostly due to regulations which we can revisit. There is a ton of regulatory overhead on nuclear that is based on nothing but fear. More importantly, we don't have any other option to substitute gas and coal in ANY timeframe if not with nuclear.

> they are way more expensive than (over-provisioned) solar/wind PLUS energy storage to make renewables "stable", even when not fully factoring in implied state-guarantees (nuclear is still uninsurable and thus dependent on heavy subsidies that are almost never accounted for by advocates + the problem of longterm storage has also never been solved and is not covered by most cost calculations)

Let's unpack this a little bit. Yes, there is no solution for long term storage, but it is also not a huge problem. Even if all our energy came from nuclear, we could safely store all waste produced from it in a very small space. Again, compare it to the alternatives: the waste from coal and gas is released in the atmosphere, causing thousands of direct deaths due to pollution, and potentially billions due to climate change.

Now for the first part. Nuclear is not heavily subsidized at all - renewables have way more subsidies, and let's not even talk about coal and gas -, nor is there any issue getting it insured except cost. In fact this is a major factor in how costly it is, because nuclear providers usually have to contract private insurance [0].

> the energy companies don't even have enough trained/experienced staff left to extend the life of the last 3 german nuclear power plants.

This is a German problem, not a global problem. And in the time it takes to get these plants running, we could easily train staff. Again, not an issue except cost.

> Just ask yourself why China, where "irrational" nuclear fear plays no role at all, never went full-on nuclear (~5% of chinese electricity comes from nuclear and even with all planned new projects it will be max 15% by 2050). The reason is they did the math....

Yes, they did. Which is why in China 10 years ago nuclear energy was only 1% instead of 5%, and 10 years before that it was 0.1% [1]. And they plan to double it to 10% by 2035 [2]. In other words, China is the perfect example of my point, not yours.

But let's address the elephant in the room. What is your proposed alternative to nuclear?

Cassandra is horribly inflexible.. you cannot use where conditions in any fields other than the PK (assuming you're not going to use ALLOW FILTERING for all your queries) and if your data isn't going to grow beyond baby size where allow filtering is okay, then you probably don't need a whole distributed java app running. Just do sqlite or newer local file storage dbs etc.

SQL has earned its place due to the expressiveness and flexibility .. you may hold your opinions but you'll hardly find anyone who would take 'SQL is overrated' seriously.

In 1981 I (mostly) happily paid full price for Microsoft BASIC for Heathkit HDOS. In 1995 I was one of those fools lining up at midnight for Windows95.

In 1996 I had just about finished porting my primary consulting project from VB3 to VB4... when VB5 came out and changed everything again. That's when I realized I had been taken for a ride; I cancelled my MSDN membership and began exiting the Microsoft ecosystem for Linux. Haven't touched a Microsoft or Apple product for over twenty years now and life is good.
>"to use a tool the way it was intended you had to adjust to use the tool as it was intended to be used"

I sure wouldn't call that a _bad_ UX. As with any tool you have to adjust to the tool or make your own unless by some miracle someone shares your particular idiosyncrasies.

>"modifying tool makes it different from your co-workers tool"

Yes, but that is a big plus instead of a minus. If your co-workers asks how to do something you can just give them the content of the alias. I also alias `git` as `g` in my terminal. Is that going to cause problems for my co-workers? No.

Unless you are training a complete-fresh-out-of-school-junior the "new guy" should already know how git works and in either case that sounds like homework for them more than anything else.

Although this article is well-written, I'm not convinced that he was "lost," or that he didn't really like math, based only on a few anecdotal stories. Furthermore, the article says that "he dropped out of high school to become a poet," but please note that, a number of students drop out of high school in South Korea to fully focus on the college entrance exam, in hopes of getting into better universities. This is not uncommon at all. And sure enough, he got accepted into the best university in South Korea, majoring in astronomy and physics. One of his classes was even taught by a Fields Medalist. If this is his definition of "being lost," I'm not sure if I'll ever be found.

Actually since the sheet music boom of the 19th century, which is how a lot of 19th century composers made money. (There's still some money in sheet music, but not much compared to other income sources.)

What's changed over time are the economies of scale involved in distribution. Engraving, printing, distributing, and selling paper sheet music was fairly labour intensive. Pressing and distributing vinyl/CDs was also non-trivial, but the marketing leverage provided by radio made it a more profitable business.

Streaming is a low overhead business in comparison. There's some up front cost for the infrastructure and UI, and small continuing costs for hosting, but it pretty much runs itself. As a de facto monopoly there's a limited need for marketing.

Instead marketing costs have been outsourced to the artists - which is a fairly new thing.

It's often said that it's never been easier to make and sell music. In fact it's never been harder to market music. Having a home studio is irrelevant if you can't create exposure and convert it into sales.

The big record labels can do that, viral breakout artists can do it (but often not for long), but the big money still goes to artists with a mass media profile. (For example Kate Bush becoming a top seller again after placing a single on Stranger Things.)
Haha. Now you got me thinking.
Interesting for sure. The first time I done it, I had a beauty score of 5. I then put glasses on and got better lighting, and got up to a 7.

It kept saying my age was 18-20, but I'm 32.

Finally it kept predicting my BMI as 30+, even though it's 22.5.

So it was interesting, and a pretty cool tech demonstration, but it wasn't too accurate for me.

Many businesses currently have severe supply issues. Prizes for computer chips are 100 times higher in some cases. The situation is a bit better now but many could not produce as much as they wanted in the past quarters. Now many businesses run extra work shifts because there are massive back orders. My company could send sales into holiday until mid 2023, they currently basically sell stuff that doesn't exist...

But computer chips are just a small part, inflation is mainly driven by energy prices right now. Germany's economy is also heavily globalized and any conflicts or reduced global trade will hit the economy pretty hard.

Still, exports totally were just reduced by ~ .5% while imports increased by 2.7%. But these small percentages already create an imbalance.
It gave me an attractiveness of 9.5, and 5-10 years younger than I am, which has actually given me a big boost of confidence. How strange.
It would make it a lot harder, either way - depending on the struct, you could possibly use heuristics to guess where you have to look. Either way, I don't think this would ever be possible for Windows. A surprising amount of legitimate software actually depends on these being the way they are (mostly Antivirus software that you don't want on your system in the first place, but they exist nonetheless).
I got a 7.4, but it went up to 8 when I changed the lighting. I wonder how much is based only on the face
