I have a question. Is "woke" actually synonymous with cancel culture or "extremism"? because when I became aware of the term it just meant more or less socially aware, particularly to the struggles of minorities. Then I tuned out for awhile and when I noticed it again it seemed to be a pejorative people like Tucker Carlson use to drum up fear that anyone who said their friend was gay in the 90s is going to prison. For instance my father in law frequently talks about how he can't say anything because of the woke people, if I ask him what he can't say he has no answer and if I ask him who's going to hold him accountable if he said it, he can't answer that either - but holy shit is he scared of the woke people.

Anyway when I see people use words like "woke" or "transgenderfication" (of the children, of course) it really tips their hat. I guess my curiosity is did the woke people tarnish the word, or did opposing media re-define it?
Same reasoning applies to C when using inline Assembler then.

I spent time in Goonfleet many years ago and generally did stuff like protect mining fleets. The actual work involved in maintaining access to null-sec space, running stations, etc and being part of a large in-game organization required an almost martial level of discipline from a scheduling standpoint.

It was fun for quite a while but eventually it became like a second job and I moved on.

Yeah, I was surprised by this the first time I saw it recently. Buying crypto (like Dogecoin, for $DEITY's sake!) at some ATM-like terminal... pretending this is a good idea for everyone... they are trying to attract the very least-informed "investors" in existence. And of course these "investors" are not going to real a miles-long Terms of Service that essentially boils down to "you will probably lose all your money, and there is no recourse".

My goodness. It occurs to me (again) that I could be very, very wealthy indeed if I'd only give up my morals. I mean, really, why shouldn't I do that? With a lot of money, I could have some fun times before I die.
Why are we using a 200+ year old document that represented the preferences of maybe 20% of the country to regulate the internet?

That seems so completely absurd, almost like people are turning it into a holy book or fetishizing it.
Will a ‘passwordless future’ gain traction though? I keep hearing the term ‘passwordless’ but right now it’s a niche thing with only techie types early adopting it. I own a Yubikey and use WebAuthn where it’s supported. But only some services support WebAuthn. For this to take off it needs to be ubiquitous and widely supported. Also this article says people won’t be locked out, but if you lose your Yubikey you need some recovery mechanism in place, and not all services support a ‘recovery code’ option meaning you have to contact support, verify your identity with a passport scan and other KYC checks.
Interesting. I’ve never seen their ads.
I think we are going to find out that diet plays an enormous role in all sorts of metabolic diseases in the coming years. Specifically as it pertains to Alzheimer's, increasingly strong evidence is coming out that your risk can be reduced by avoiding excess carbs/glucose, and also by avoiding oxidized foods (in the typical Western diet, usually polyunsaturated fats that have been sitting in a bottle).

Presentations like these are very compelling:

Ask HN: Has anyone used Vultr's managed Kubernetes engine
Vultr.com seems to keep upgrading their services. A while back they added managed Kubernetes. Has anyone used it? Experiences? Good enough for internal use? Anyone dare use it for prod?

Edit: they also just added managed databases, though Postgres is still coming soon. Anyone try this?

Their performance is excellent and we've had good experience with them for internal service hosting for some time now. Never put prod on them except for a Discus forum and a few other things like that.

Zero.

I totally appreciate the value in it, but I'm old and just have a hard time making personal growth in my job skills a priority over time with family. I read more before I had children, and I would read if I was could spend some work hours on it.

I've also seen people who read too much - all their work philosophy and decisions are not based on experience, but on a book they read. I feel the flow should be to: read -> synthesize new info with experience -> test out some changes to your way of working -> decide whether or not it works. But I've seen too much of: read -> declare sweeping changes to the entire team -> read another book.

I think this can be done completely lock free with almost same number of memory barriers as a mutex when writing - read the tail pointer (acquire), append your node using CAS(release), then update the tail pointer with CAS (release).

For reads, start with an acquire read of the tail pointer, which will make all preceding writes to the list visible to you. Then you can read the list all you want up until you hit the node you read from the tail pointer without synchronization.
It's only fear-mongering if you silently presuppose that the regulations of the amount and temperature of water is arbitrary.

I decided to try implement get_gray_xy. I am wondering how you can generalise it to any number of loops and apply it to nested loops of varying sizes, that is if you have three sets and the sizes are 8, 12, 81.

Wikipedia says graycodes can be found by num ^ (num >> 1)

a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
b = [2, 4, 8, 16]
indexes = set()
correct = set()

print("graycode loop indexes")
for index in range(0, len(a) * len(b)):
code = index ^ (index >> 1)
left = code & 0x0003
right = code >> 0x0002 & 0x0003

print(left, right)
indexes.add((left, right))

assert len(indexes) == 16

print("regular nested loop indexes")

for x in range(0, len(a)):
for y in range(0, len(b)):
correct.add((x,y))
print(x, y)

assert correct == indexes

This produces the sequence:

graycode loop indexes

I think that the fact that our society was mainly designed (or evolved) to maximize the profits of the people in power as opposed to peoples wellbeing plays a huge part in depression.

I have never understood the chemical imbalance theory anyway. Surely there needs to be a cause of a chemical imbalance like an auto-immune illness or something. Why hasn’t the focus been on the cause?

If your ft4 is very high or you have low levels of hgh, there is a cause. What theories to they have for these issues with serotonin?
Thanks for your comment.
In principle, you are right.
It's a tiny optimization.

When the VERY FIRST ASYNC operation is inflight the cache is immediately loaded with a Promise, which blocks all other calls while the FIRST async operation is in flight. This is only relevant to the very FIRST call. That's it. After that the promise is pointless.

As for the Promise failure you can just think of that as equivalent of the value not existing in the cache. The logic should interpret the promise this way.

I think this is fair. On the other hand, I think the flimsy arguments ("Just write better code..." and "Modern C++ doesn't have these issues..."), the mole hill matters of taste ("Egads!

"sandboxed-execution: Bazel also runs every action in a "sandbox". You can think of sandbox as being akin to a lightweight container. All the declared-inputs are mapped into the sandbox, and the generated outputs are closely monitored. This is done for each action. If a dependency is missed in the input specification - that's a build failure."

It's built in to the Mercurial CLI, whereas tab autocomplete is an additional feature to the user's shell. Thus, by default, every user will have access to the Mercurial shortnames, while only users with autocomplete enabled in their shell (or with autocomplete available for their shell) will have the autocomplete available.

Also, autocomplete is still an additional keypress...

That's an interesting perspective, which I've seen a bit, but I think I've experienced the opposite as well, and I wonder how common it is.
If everyone has shared basis of reference for something, then you can move on and talk about other new things!

For instance, most of my friend group watched CGP Grey for a while, and we don't debate how to choose a movie or restaurant anymore, we just choose one quickly via either approval or veto voting.
Or online someone mentioned XKCD 927 and then we can discuss the finer points of the new standard instead of just how it's going to replace all the others (for instance, instead of saying Matrix is just the chat protocol to unite everything else, talk about how it's an eventually consistent graph replication protocol and how that differs from XMPP's point-to-point system).

It feels like this shared culture and background can serve the same purpose as like shared education in math, literature, and history - to provide ground knowledge and references as a jumping off point to discuss more in depth, or with more nuance.
> Why are we using a 200+ year old document

Because it’s worked. The alternative, opening up the entire system of government for debate, simultaneously, continuously, predictably tears itself apart in a generation. (That or you wind up with an unwritten Constitution only the elites can decipher.) The Constitution isn’t sacred. But it’s far from worthless as a basis of our society.
It's macOS magic that requires HFS/APFS and doesn't work at the POSIX layer. It would not work for my use case, no.

An alias is like a hybrid between a symbolic link and a hard link. Like a symbolic link, it's its own file type whose contents point to the original, but like a hard link it points to the original using its ID, not its path. So an alias works even if the original is moved, but it does not increase the original's link count and is its own distinct entity in the file system.

I never was formally diagnosed with autism but the signs are obvious as it was also noticed by family and friends. The paper is academic and not vulgarized for the general public but if you take the time it is really worth it, specially the part about perception.

The way some histories tell it, Git didn't win because it was better than Mercurial but because GitHub arrived on the scene and exploded in popularity. Had GitHub been HgHub it's possible that we would be programming in a Mercurial dominated world with Git having been "the other" that fell by the wayside.

You left out your "a largest prime." If N were indeed the largest prime then there would be no larger prime to divide into N!+1 and make it composite.

I can't find the paper I'm thinking off. But as far as I know the newest clinical research concludes that the benefits of ketamine are temporary and aren't helpful as a permanent treatment. They can be very helpful in treating acute depressive symptoms which can help other treatments like CBT to work tho.
Just waiting for that batshit bounty law (in Texas) to spread to other states. Basically, any citizen can sue anyone if they suspect aiding or abetting an abortion. There are seemingly no recourses either, for the defendant. If successful, the plaintiff can be awarded up to $10k - therefore a bounty law.

So by that logic, you should be able to sue the owner of a website - as long as it is within the state, because they're aiding and abetting a person with her abortion, by providing the knowledge?
Yeah all those people with their degrees in constitutional law should be banned from congress! /s

To make a claim that lawyers can't be useful at all at running a country really requires a citation at least... Large associations of people are going to have a lot of different skills so to say that there aren't ~500,000 competent teachers / lawyers / consultants in a population of ~3 billion (claim is about the entire west) seems a bit of a stretch.

There are at least some engineers in China that aren't competent [1] so _just_ because somebody is an engineer doesn't mean you'll have a good outcome.

Seems like an open and shut free speech case, to me. But they’ll find new ways to get around “inconvenient” things like this, no doubt.
Why it was a theory in the first place?

Everyone who felt depressed knows it is caused by life conditions. Of course, chemicals can help. Chemicals can make you very happy. Under a dose. But implying that happiness is just a state of chemicals in the brain is a path to existential void.
Don’t discount the successes of a short term efficacy. Depression is a deadly disease. Sometimes a short term efficacy can be the different between life and death.

Usually depression is treated with a mix of drugs—such as SSRIs—and psychotherapy. I think health officials are completely aware of the long term effects, and that is why the treatment is most often multi-faceted.

I'm not arguing for no Government. I'm arguing against Government intervention in the economy. I disagree on many points though (I have seen the Vox article before - I don't have much respect for Vox as it is very biased, so I tend to ignore it, just like The Guardian or Fox News).

"Because the government isn't, (or at least shouldn't be) beholden to short term interests in the same way those other classes are".
A Government is made of people. "Shouldn't" doesn't mean "Isn't". You need to convince me that it "Isn't".

"Companies will happily destroy everything around them, poison and impoverish entire nations if not reined in, just to turn a quick buck."
I disagree. What's the point for investor to make money and then die of pollution or die in a fire. Yes, there are bad apples and stupid people, but you can't design a system that prevent people to do things because there are some bad apples. Look at the big tech, they are mostly investing voluntarily to reduce fossil fuel dependency. Of course if there is a market failure that really can be solved by the Government and that would otherwise kill us all, then I'm in favor of (indirect and market based) intervention.

"People are extremely short-term, local thinkers in general."
Disagree, people have different plans, some shorter term some longer term.
Also why would they have short-term thinking in the market but long term thinking at the election?

"A government, under the purview of democracy, is needed to try to balance these things out and help a society actually operate"
Very likely so. Although there are some ANCAP proposals I find interesting like the one form David Friedman, I'm not convinced it would work in practice.
However my ideal Government doesn't balance anything (I don't think it actually can without making more harm than good). It instead define the rules and what constitute private property, but it doesn't decide how to allocate these resources. That would be left entirely to the market.
There would be no point in him starting from scratch with a new identity. It wasn't the game he liked, it was the notoriety. Most people in EVE Online at this strata aren't even really "playing" the game, its all metagame at that point.
While not an absolute proof of an absolute security model of a concurrent (interrupt-based) CPU as its first primary focus is baby-step ensuring a secured proof using a sequential CPU model (with a few omitted features, I’m guessing a cache of any level amongst others that I couldn’t notice), this definitely paved the way toward solid theoretical proofing toward hardware security in general.

With this Herculean task being accomplished, I do see further automated HW security proofing on lesser CPU architecture (FFA, sequential embedded microcontrollers such as motor controller, RF controllers, power level monitor, etc.).

Seems like the next generation of HW security proofing is caching (if not done already), context switching, interrupt, and multi-CPU.

Any error above is mine and mine alone.

We live in interesting time.
