You are right, I was not aware of that!

This way may actually have advantages over vDSO. Maybe you can set up IV and key with the kernel and then let the kernel do the crypto without having to have them in user space memory anymore. That would be a way to reduce risk in crypto applications, as long as you can prevent an attacker who has taken over the crypto app to retrieve the keys from the kernel. Maybe seccomp can help here.

Why not both? - An Asteroid and a series of colossal Volcanic Eruptions.

>According to this well-established fire-and-brimstone scenario, the dinosaurs were exterminated when a six-mile-wide asteroid, larger than Mount Everest is tall, slammed into our planet with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs. The impact unleashed giant fireballs, crushing tsunamis, continent-shaking earthquakes, and suffocating darkness that transformed the Earth into what one poetic scientist described as “an Old Testament version of hell.”

I would compare GPS to something like Starlink which went from idea to activation in 5 years while GPS took over 15.

While of course, Starlink relied on government know-how, given away for free, the speed of deployment was 2-3x.

In the end we’re left with a monopoly service which sucks. But, it came together quick. Why can’t we have both? Fast deploying public goods.

> In terms of server-side development? Async is rather useless on the server side. Can't generate a web page or JSON blob with the results of a database query until you actually get those results from the database.

This is precisely why async (well, cooperative concurrency generally) is useful, whether on a server or otherwise. Blocking for things you can’t do yet is a waste of idle resources. There are plenty of other concurrency models which are also useful, but yielding/suspending when idle is almost always better than not. And the cases where it’s not generally have other problems.

Your PC/laptop is a thing and it takes a certain amount of time to startup. When the BIOS/UEFI hands over to Linux it will boot rather quickly unless you stop it or something is wrong. Do you have a piece of hardware that takes ages to startup? Systemd has a utility to profile and graph the boot sequence by time. It will literally tell you what is happening.

Disorder is a strong term that I don't believe is appropriate in this context. People have different standards for success, but by saying these people are driven by a disorder or imbalance implies that following any ambition is inherently a disorder. It's a philosophy and a way of living, but it's no more right or wrong than Buddhism's notion of eternal peace residing in nonattachment and letting go of things. Chaos exists orthogonal to ambition.
When used this way "all but" means nearly or almost. Another strange English idiom.
What is the purpose of the system of replicators? Does it have one? Is it an end in its own right?

In my experience, people who see themselves as part of the pursuit of the purpose of the system are also able to find happiness even if they do not personally replicate in some obvious biological or memetic way.
I love this article
Seems like the only happy people are retired or wealthy people to me...
My observations is the source.
From experience, your benchmark is not correctly estimating how long a non-atomic increment takes. Run 10000 of them back to back inside each benchmark iteration (atomic and non-atomic), and then runcontested.

You will see that the counter increment is about 2-5 cycles, a few hundred ps, and the atomic is on the order of 10 ns uncontended.

If you then introduce contention and a multi-socket setup, the atomic will slow down significantly. Only one thread can touch it at a time, so they have to take turns.
> Nobody really cares about the 11 year old girl

The reason why I hold the political positions that I do at its foundations has the fact that I care if this is going on in the society that I live in, because I don't think anyone should have to go through that. Or ectopic pregnancies that can't be aborted, etc.

If you think I'm just trying to "score points" you're projecting. I don't support abortion in order to "own the Trumpers" and rub their noses in abortions, I really think it produces a worse society, with more suffering.
In the past, I've found Bezos regret minimization framework to be a great way to figure out if you are making the right decision leading to happiness. Although, there might be a line of divergence for some things between regret minimization, and happiness maximization (e.g. short term pleasures for long-term long lasting gains).

> There is a whole generation of programmers that have come to equate GC with Java's 10 second pauses

Anyone who has ever shipped a C# Unity game know the pain that is the garbage collector. It’s effectively impossible to avoid frame hitches with the GC.

I’ve spent a LOT of time going way out of my way to avoid any and all garbage collects. Which somewhat defeats the purpose of using a GC-based language.

I definitely would say “GC used to be bad but now it’s good”. That tale has been spun for 30+ years at this point!
I'm convinced Cloudflare is a giant anti-privacy man-in-the-middle attack on the entire web experience.

It would be a conspiracy theory to say they were created by a three letter government agency, but if I was running one of those three letter agencies, this is exactly the kind of company I'd setup and control. People just give them their TLS keys lol

If you use a VPN or just like browsing in privacy mode, it will make your life as difficult as possible by having you fill out multiple captchas. And even then, it will sometimes not let you through.

If you're running a website, please stop using Cloudflare.
Then again boredom, is better than burnout, rote that a lot of corporate culture in America consists of, perhaps.
I wouldn't call it a GC. It's more like an arena allocator, with the arenas managed by the OS :)
Unpopular opinion:

Hardware-based attestation of the running software is an important security feature, especially in a world where data leaks and identity theft are rampant. Let's say I'm a healthcare provider, and I'm about to send sensitive medical data to a third party vendor. Wouldn't you prefer that this data only be able to be decrypted by a computer that can prove to the world it booted a clean OS image with all the latest security patches installed?

If the vendor wants to install some self-built OS that they trust on their computer and not update it for 5 years, that's their business, but I may not want to trust their computer to have access to my personal data.

Remote attestation gives more control to the owners of data to dictate how that data is processed on third-party machines (or even their own machines that may have been compromised). This is useful for more than just DRM.

Thanks for the info. I don't know the full story behind any particular residential IP proxy service, but I'd previously decided not to use any of them for a startup's purposes.

As I explained to my colleagues, I wouldn't be able to determine, with confidence, which of the services were 100% legit, and which weren't. We didn't want to accidentally get involved with questionably-obtained residential IPs, etc. That would've been antithetical to our business, and also just not how we operate in general.

(The startup provided solutions in the supply chain integrity space. Part of the technology included bespoke Web scraping, to monitor certain venues for naughtiness scale and patterns over time. Because venues were around the world, and because venues had complicating incentives regarding some of the questionable third-party activity in the venue... I wanted the delicate scraping to look similar to normal consumer users who were in the geopolitical region served by the venue. Instead of a residential IP service, I used an (undisclosed) different, impeccable approach, which won't work for all use cases, but did for ours.)

Possibility: We need meaning more than happiness.

For Frankl, meaning came from three possible sources: purposeful work, love, and courage in the face of difficulty.

~ from Viktor Frankl on the Human Search for Meaning: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32283033

Don’t aim at success — the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run—in the long run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.

~ Viktor Frankl
I've knows lots of New Yorkers who think the middle of the country is just backwards uncivilized rednecks, since I'm from New York.
I understand Lewis to be saying that you shouldn't revel in revelations of wrongdoing or cling to them in the face of evidence, because your duty as a Christian is to find a way to forgive even your enemies; that you should hate (his word) the wrongdoing itself, not giving it an inch, but be careful not to needlessly attach it to specific people without cause, or to allow such an attachment to impede your process of forgiving them.

Then, he's not saying that you should, on spec, be skeptical of claims of wrongdoing, or especially generous to mitigating claims. One way you know that's the opposite of his intent is that the essay is framed around the crimes of the Nazis; there is no possible way Lewis is suggesting we should be wary of news stories about the Nazis. Again: Nazism is a backdrop for not just the essay, or Christian Behavior, but really most of Mere Christianity.

This is a thread where really all we have to go on is a story about whether a media claim about wrongdoing is true, or can be mitigated. The quote then reads as an affirmation of the story! The quote would be saying exactly the thing I just said I believe it doesn't say.

But Lewis' quote doesn't apply here at all, unless you not only strip it of its context, but also turn it against that context. Nobody (at least, nobody identified) is reveling in what may have happened at the residential schools, or using it as a device to avoid forgiving any particular person. Our interest in the truth of what happened, and even our skepticism of mitigating claims, is totally independent of our duty to forgive, just as Lewis points out that our willingness to punish (or even kill) transgressors is independent of our duty to forgive them.

I think the whole thing is a lot clearer if you include the paragraph before and after the super-popular "newspaper article" quote.

I'm not clear on how I misread the original intent of the quote! I'm still interested in hearing that. So I'm re-explaining my own original intent in responding to it, but wouldn't want to be construed as doubling down on it.

My personal stake in this discussion is: I think Mere Christianity is pretty neat, and I'm attentive of the ways it gets used in online discussions. I don't know enough about Canadian history to have a stake in the truth of the residential school claims, though note that there is an expert rebuttal of these Quillette claims, from an archeological authority, downthread.

Bhutan famously uses "Gross National Happiness" instead of GDP as a success metric.

I like the idea that at least in web5, the term "wallet" might actually make sense, because the credentials or whatever actually "live" on your own device/node.

Web3 should really use "signet" rather than "wallet." Web3 is all about signing, attestation, and authentication through digital signatures. That's what signets are for, not wallets.

Coinkite recently switched to the term "signing device," but 1) that's lame, and 2) "signet" already exists and means the same thing.

At least with web5, the wallet analogy works.
For how strongly worded this article is, you'd think the author would provide some substance in their reasoning. Reference counting, even atomic, is quite expensive. Not only because it can invalidate the cache line, but depending on the architecture (looking at you x86), the memory model will deter reordering of instructions. On top of this, reference counting has a cascading effect, where one destructor causes another destructor to run, and so on. This chain of destructor calls is more or less comparable to a GC pause.
Super bizarre.

Honest question: if he were an actual author who was trying to write such a narrative, where would authors go to discuss plotlines/character builds whatever?

Without the surrounding context his build a character plot is plausible.

So If I was writing a story about an internet nerd who was writing a story about an internet nerd who was writing a story about a guy with super skills like matt damon meets john westwood (john wick+clint eastwood)... uh... where would I look. Asking for a distant relative, they live in canada you wouldnt know ~~me~~ them! THEM, you dont know them.
Hardly, info from the front outside of Twitter propaganda channels has shown otherwise.

Fact.
Well, that code is module without any context (ie: connected to nothig), it just have 2 inputs (clk and rst), and an "output" with the current sum, after it reach the desired value it keep stuck there (until reset).

So as the simulation code shows, it just tick the clock (with the "yield" statement) and read the "output" register and print it.

Of course you could connect this "Project Euler 1 accelerator" to a CPU, a SoC or whatever, or just connect LEDs directly to "output"
In OCaml, a common convention is often to use functions with names like int_of_float (or Int.of_float), although it is also likely that (e.g.) the Int module will have a to_float function too. I write a lot of OCaml and it still trips me up from time to time.

The other solution in a procedural/functional language is to write code closer to the evaluation order, e.g. with a 'pipeline' operator:

let myoklch =
mycolor
|> lin_proPhoto
|> lin_proPhoto_to_XYZ
|> ...

or with a 'fluent' interface in an OOP language:

let myoklch =
mycolor.to_linear().to_XYZ().to_D65().to_OKLAB().to_OKLCH();
Objective-C stores the retain count in the tops bits of an object pointer. The hardware it runs on has been specially tuned to make atomic reference counting faster.

I hope you can appreciate the perverse irony of this remark.
Useful for command line testing of different malloc implimentations, real time system responsiveness via pv, and/or help tuning system internet buffers (aka tcp/ip).
An automatically resizable buffer for vi-pipe would be helpful for command line malloc implimentations test via dd & pv commands.
Isn’t that more to do with when GPS was deployed. Doing things early is harder and takes longer, even more so when you’re first. Comparatively Starlink has fewer novel problems to solve.

If you’re going to compare the two you need to control for confounding factors.
Not saying you're wrong, but here's some of the claims that the article makes about the advantages of antimony Schottky vs n-p silicon solar cells:

> In the 1970s and 1980s, scientists investigated Zn4Sb3 for use in photovoltaics and concluded that the material’s “obvious advantages are apparent simplicity and relatively low temperature of the preparation procedure.” [23] The melting point for Zn4Sb3 is 570 degrees Celsius, while it’s 1,400 degrees for silicon.

> Silicon modules are sandwiched between two laminate encapsulant layers (usually EVA, an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer). These layers are essential to ensure module service lifetime. [1-3] To recycle the silicon – the most valuable component of a solar panel – these layers need to be separated, but burning them also destroys the modules. Silicon cells can only be recycled by a combination of thermal, chemical, and metallurgical steps. That is an expensive process with an impact on the environment. [...] In contrast, the solar cells built by George Cove were entirely recyclable. They required no protective layer and did not even contain solder.

> Schottky cells do not require a high-temperature phosphorus-diffusion step, which ordinarily creates the n-layer of the p-n junction in silicon today. This alone reduces the energy input into the solar cell production process by 35%.

... and a point that maybe that efficiency of Schottky cells (irrespective of composition) hasn't really been explored:

> Scientists also reached 17% experimental efficiency for a graphene/silicon Schottky cell, up from 1.5% ten years earlier.
I’m a big fan of the title track for Hejira too. Great album!
> Everyone I know is scheming for the future. They’ve got big goals [...] people don’t seem to think too much about the specifics of what would happen after their goal is achieved.

Most people I know seem to have so many goals and projects that there is no danger of them running out of things to achieve.
I think the answer is corporations — but with a different culture.

Social purpose corporation with crowdfunding and transparency seems like it would accomplish much of what you want.
Yes. you can.

But if you ever have an emergency where you need to modify the kernel cmdline, your firmware needs to provide an interface to do that, which many don't. Using a bootloader is safer in that regard.
Precisely!

Also, as Kevin from The Office brilliantly put it, “Why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick?”

"'Aforementioned' drives nuts. It pompous; it redundant. “The aforementioned usage is …” becomes “The usage is …” - no ambiguity. Cut it. If not say “aforementioned” in conversation then no write. If no, don't."
Would having all data produced by a DID being verifiable mean that I could stop any nugget of information coming out of that producer from reaching me just by a simple computation?
I actually don't disagree with you. As I mention in the article:

> I cannot say how much freedom it will take. Arguably, some of the new features will be “good.” Massively reduced cheating in online multiplayer games is something many gamers could appreciate (unless they cheat). Being able to potentially play 4K Blu-ray Discs on your PC again would be convenient.

However, I'm more worried about the questions the increased deployment of technology will bring, such as will Linux users be doomed to a CAPTCHA onslaught being the untrusted devices, or worse. Important questions that, unless raised, risk us just "going with the flow" until it is way too late.
Frankly, your (or any individuals) observation is utterly worthless to this discussion unless you can demonstrate some type of relevant expertise.
