This is what Microsoft Research's Singularity OS did, with the language being C#. Their argument was that the MMU's address space isolation was a 30% Unsafe Code Tax so even if C# was slower than C if they could get the slowdown to less than that it was still an overall performance win.

I'm pretty sure the discovery of Meltdown/Spectre and similar speculative execution attacks would completely wreck this model. The fix for those exploits has been to make the isolation barriers even stronger but if you don't have them at all you're wide open. If you had such an OS but then had to split it back into separate address spaces you've now lost the performance gains and just have a slower OS that is harder to develop drivers for.
The point is the same here though - electric cars don't have them, so it'll die out just as quickly (the fall off being even more precipitous). It'll be more missed here than in the states, where it sounds like it is already nearly gone.

I’m south east too, the last few years the lawn has gone yellow - but this year seems … extra crispy?

I don’t remember the garden at my parents going yellow and crispy 20 years ago.

The “covid heatwave” still had water in some streams, but this year they look positively parched.

There’s a large bucket in my garden in the shade, this year it is dry - it usually has water in it

I grew up here and in nearly 40 years I don’t remember it being this different

What is terrifying to me is that I have been sharing this planet with people who are not willing to change anything to their mode of life and won't even vote for parties that actually care and want to do something about the issue. Because those are also the parties that are for a better redistribution and allocation of resources. And I know the rich would rather rant all day long in their newspaper mouthpieces about communist dictatorship rather than being taxed/renouncing to take the plane for all their trips. The idea that I am going to die by starvation because someone liked to play golf and prefers driving around in an air conditioned metal boxes in concerete and tar hell is killing me.

My first car was actually an "automated stick" VW Bug (1972), which had a stick shift but no clutch. You simply let off on the gas to change gears, and I think there were only three gears in addition to neutral and reverse. I moved on to two manual transmissions after that (a Merkur XR4Ti and a Taurus SHO), and have since stuck with automatic and can't imagine going back.
The Nim language compiles Nim source code into C as an intermediate step.
Note that the time is for both insertion and lookup, i didn't actually check lookup alone, just how general "use" compares between the two.

Pure lookup is

std version: 8563ms
custom version: 1660ms

(i.e. std version is ~5.1 times slower, again with the preallocated buckets - without preallocating the buckets it is 15298ms)

That puts lookup to ~24.8ns.

> I think you could do around 6ns per lookup (maybe less?) without changing the hash algorithm, using huge pages, reordering the lookups, or dropping the requirement that it be a hash table.

Yeah, considering this is just a "set of 32bit numbers" i could just as easily use a bitmap - a simple implementation with a bitmap array had it at ~6.3ns per lookup - but the discussion was on hash maps/sets and i wanted to keep it as close to the article.

I'm not sure what you refer to with "huge pages" though. Can you elaborate or provide some info?

Also about reordering the lookups you mean changing the order of the values i check? I wanted to have a random lookup since this was a test for how well arbitrary lookups would perform, this is why i generated a file with unique random numbers ahead of time.

How the Physics of Nothing Underlies Everything
Oh wait, I did correctly remember that $20 was JSR in 6502 assembly.
Maybe not in this case... but generally, it appears to be true for most extensions.
The link says "Jet aircraft and turbine-powered, propeller aircraft do not use avgas, but instead use fuels very similar to kerosene, which does not contain a lead additive."

So I think the reply was accurate.
"and we have seen time and time again that they're fishing expeditions which achieve nothing"

You sure about that? There are at least eight Trump administration individuals convicted of crimes because of those "fishing expeditions", with many more under indictment. And there are others that are still in contempt of congressional subpoenas.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-bannon-associat...

And I think it's been made really clear that you don't get permits for "fishing expeditions" easily. It needs approval on many levels, including judges and magistrates installed by both parties.

Funny thing, these "fishing expeditions" have been deployed against Democratic officials but come out with way less indictments and convictions. How many hours of testimony did Clinton sit down for over Bengazhi? 11? Did that result in anything? Why not?

Oh yeah, and she showed up when subpoenaed.

The party of "law and order" needs to put up or shut up.

(PS: If this search of Mar-A-Lago was an abuse of power, Trump is more than free to release a copy of the warrant which shows exactly what the FBI was searching for. Let's see if that happens.)
Tried to get a new manual transmission car in the US this summer for my daughter in college. She learned to drive on a manual. It would be a great anti-friends-borrowing-her-car feature.

Totally agree. One damning aspect of Tornado is we know it was used to launder money. Criminals used it. This was publicly reported and certainly known to the Tornado team.

If you know your product is being used by criminals to do crime and you respond by shrugging your shoulders, I’m not sure what the expected outcome is supposed to be other than getting dinged.
But wouldn't that specific demand sort of... demand that the prices lower accordingly?

Incredibly high rate of money laundering in relation to the entire flow of cyrpto.

You should know comparing traditional fiat against crypto doesn't make sense.. But I guess I'm the one who's ignorant.

Literally I think different people work differently and that’s ok. I think managements true challenge in this isn’t creating conformance with a standard but ensuring individuals can work in the environment and mode they work best.

Truth is a neurodiverse person will not feel as stressed when working in their home environment and will be considerably more productive. The marginal benefit to the extrovert being able to interact with that neurodiverse person in an office is relatively small, and much less than the impact on the neurodiverse persons productivity. By allowing people to organize along their preferred mode and management working hard to facilitate that environment the aggregate productivity gained by simply letting people be happier in their day to day life will swamp the frictions between the two styles. Nothing makes productivity happen better than a human who is comfortable in their environment.

This where management should be expending their energy - figuring out how to make it work rather than figuring out how to cajole people into being unhappy.

Some of us use the same phone for years, until it loses OS/security updates. My current phone is 6 years old. By the time I upgrade, my current phone will not be able to run current authenticator or bank apps, which will target an iOS version above the last one supported by my phone. So no, my old one is not "good enough" unless I upgrade more often than I'm comfortable with.
I'm glad you're finally talking to an actual one. Many people call themselves one who haven't actually thought much or read much about it.

If you want a book written by another actual libertarian, "Free to Choose" by Milton Friedman is a good start.

The neato thing about libertarianism is it doesn't have to be perfect in order to work. Since nothing about human societies can be perfect, this is fine feature. The more libertarian a country is, the better it runs.
Great read, I am stealing this concept and implementing it in someway. People are lost here in details, obviously the central point of this article is how to stay on top of communication with your spouse with busy lifestyle. It doesn’t have to be notes, may be you can go for daily walks etc. Point is to not let relationship become stale and boring that after 20-40 years of marriage you may not know much of how life went. May be some people do not want to be very involved with wife and just marry to have kids. Either way points in this articles are great, thanks for sharing.
I have driven manual since I could. In italy it is still the norm to have a manual. Automatic transmission are becoming more and more popular with hybrid/EVs.

I also feel, for some reason, that there is also a stigma around automatic transmissions being less reliable (when I actually think it's the opposite).

I would change my manual for an automatic in a nano second if I could.
Let's not forget the benefits either. Reduced redundancy is _good_ (as long as nothing fails in the chain, ofc). It enables society to make more, for lower costs. And it works remarkably well, overall.
I'm generally not a fan of paternalistic license clauses, but I dunno, I think I could get behind an open source license clause that prohibited click-through user agreements.

The US didn't mandate deletion of their Github account. The US isn't punishing them – you can tell because they didn't put them explicitly on the SDN list.

I don't remember the norm being "desktop apps which started in an instant 20 years ago". Or 30, for that matter. Do you have any data for that? E.g., when I think back over launching Photoshop over the decades, I remember loading screens all the way through.

My take is that launch times are on average better but still not great. And I think that's because something else that's constant is that programs first get written for the convenience of the programmer, and then optimized until people stop complaining about the speed.

The waste of resources bothers me too, of course. But on the other hand, computing resources have become radically cheaper while programmer time has gotten much more expensive. While at the same time, writing software had gotten radically more complex. So I suspect me getting bothered here is sort of like when my grandmother, who grew up in the Great Depression, got bothered when I didn't wash and reuse aluminum foil.
Just because something that superficially resembles a topic (AI risk) was talked about in fiction does not mean it isn't worth worrying about.

They probably consider Moët far too cheap and plentiful today, since even poor people can afford Moët. Once the droughts get worse and more regular and Moët production dries up to a trickle, only then will prices reach a level where it can become a truly desirable drink.
i've been driving manual for the last seven years pretty much exclusively and i used to think that, but ive certainly found myself in all sorts of unsafe driving predicaments where i end up revving out the car, shifting with my left hand, shifting with food in my hand, etc.

In the last few years ive made a point to reduce distractions while driving and no longer do this stuff, but the point being, once you get used to manual - you find a way to be dangerous driving it haha

If you're going to post an unpopular opinion, I think the only way to avoid downvotes is to at least make your comment interesting or novel in some way. Merely saying "I don't like X" is neither.
Added to that, I also think it's because a car just holds less headspace than it used to. Stick shifting fits in car culture, when a car is more than just a tool. People have emotional attachment to a manual transmission, not rational.

Cars are basically appliances now. Who, apart from a narrow slice of demographics, really cares about their car? It's kind of like a washing machine in that way.

I did like the article, it accurately describes what we're losing. Driving is just much less an analog experience now than it used to be.

> Use correctly std::unique_ptr<T> has no measurable impact on performance compared with the equivalent non-smart-pointer code.

One wart of unique_ptr (and other smart pointers) is that it cannot be passed in a register when used as a function parameter, at least with the System V ABI used on Linux.

Also, the caller is responsible for destruction and there is no way to specify that a function always "consumes" a unique_ptr so the compiler cannot eliminate the destructor code: https://godbolt.org/z/sz79GoETv

Of course if the compiler can inline the call or at least controls both and can clone the function with a custom calling convention then that doesn't have to be a problem. But it still sucks that even something as seemingly simple as a tiny wrapper around a pointer does come with a cost.
With Vodafone, I just login on the website and swap the esim. It’s ridiculously straight forward and you can set a sim pin that works across devices so even if someone were to steal the login and try to take your esim, they still need the pin to unlock the sim on the device.
> cannot anticipate the need to upshift or downshift

I feel like this is a red herring. How often does the computer fail to correctly upshift or downshift in such a way that it affects, say... mileage?

I find that when I drive my vehicle (an automatic transmission Mazda CX5), if I am using the "fake manual" (tiptronic), I tend to drive at a slightly higher rpm. I will sit at 2¼k rpms instead of the computer's preferable 1¾k rpms. I can assume from that that I am indeed burning more fuel (if only marginally)
