> What is the point of giving stock priced on the vesting day? It has no chance to go up or down between the grant and vesting date when it is sellable. It would be the same as a cash bonus with an X year delay.

An excellent question, somewhat epitomized by the late Mitch Hedberg’s joke: “I think a gift certificate is a bad gift. You take money that is good everywhere…” Same here, it’s no better than cash, only it’s a PITA to convert it to cash if you want cash.

That being said, there are a few scenarios I have seen that fit the pattern:

1. Some companies have an ESPP program where some cash is deducted from each pay and placed in escrow. At regular intervals, the accumulated money is turned into shares at market value, and the employee receives the shares. There is usually a modest discount involved, e.g. 15%. If the employee sells the day the shares vest, they harvest 15% of the value less taxes. Or the employee can HODL, as they see fit.

Even without a discount, some employees may prefer an ESPP to making their own investments in the company stock. There is the convenience of having the money deducted at source, many people find that an easier way to save than relying on discipline.

2. The company is cash-poor and pays some comp in stock because they have shares in their treasury. One can understand why some companies would want to do this, without agreeing that employees would prefer this to cash.
I don't think the nitty gritty details of the AGPLv3 matter much in practice. Those details matter most to the sort of organizations that fear lawsuits and consult with lawyers, and such organizations will likely not use AGPLv3 licensed code at all.

AGPLv3 is thus a de facto 'hobbyists only' license, and hobbyists by in large don't go around suing each other; generally they just make good faith efforts to respect each others licenses and maybe use social ostracism when somebody steps over the line. Since hobbyists don't take their community disputes to court, the technical legal minutia of the license doesn't matter to most of them.

Why not limit the height of the columns so they fit on the screen, and wrap around to new columns lower down? So when you reach the end of the rightmost column, you scroll down the page and continue reading at the leftmost column.

I don't get it.

If you give something away for free, you should not expect money for it. If you license it for anyone to use, you should not be surprised if some of the users end up being big companies. By choosing to give it away, you have chosen to give up control of what happens.

If you want to sell software for money, then do that. If you want control over how it is used, choose a license that gives you that control. But don't just give things away for free and then complain about what users do with the freedom you willingly gave to them.
Author is John Stewart Denker. Nice to have this site as the MIT courses based on this back in the day (example: http://web.mit.edu/13.021/13021_2003/Lifting%20surfaces/lect...) are pointing to a defunk site. Fantastic content, thanks for the submission!
This is a neat idea. I think it could be a tool that really shapes the workflow for a programmer and the way we think about writing code. Think about it: we have this loose correlation between a module and a text file. But you could conceptually put two module’s worth of concepts into one file. Or split a single module between two files. That looseness leads to code that is hard to understand and manage. If the UI you use forces you to work on one unit of the program at a time you are much less likely to create the Monster Function of Doom or 1000 modules that don’t do anything but provide indirection. I think UI usability may suffer a bit but a well designed IDE of this sort could really transform how we think about software architecture.

I'm not. They're one of the biggest vectors for the centralization of the entire internet. You're right to be critical of every single thing they do.
Amazon gets and deserves a lot of bad press, but to me it’s no different than any other huge company with lots of blue collar workers. Apple, google, meta, and many more tech companies manufacture hardware products in overseas factories with awful working conditions, but I don’t see people boycotting working for those companies nearly as often as Amazon.

Mysticals report indicates much of it does come from wider instructions, because it can saturate the core easier. Zen 3 was front end bottlenecked, so on Zen4 running AVX512 it can more often hit 4x256.
The new instructions are useful and some help perf, but mostly only for pretty specialized stuff. Masking is nice but I think people really exaggerate the improvement from it, vblend was only 2 cycles.
> “It felt very much like a direct attack on the movement we’ve been building to get girls coding."

That's because it explicitly is such an attack:

“What we are attempting to do is balance legitimate academic freedom with what could be literature/materials that are too activist in nature, and may lean more toward indoctrination rather than age-appropriate academic content.” [Emphasis added]

The problem here, of course, is that activism is very much in the eye of the beholder, and so banning books on the grounds of being "too activist" effectively give you license to ban anything you want.
Interesting.

We use just a handful of SaaS services and are very happy.

Rather than adding services and increasing surface of failure/attack we focus on picking good partners.
Yes, this is a very good point. In my experience from, uh, several decades ago, it also felt like a lot of math educators watched (and showed in class...) Stand and Deliver way too many times and the only message they took away was "we should teach everyone calculus!"
It doesn't, you can run this on $150 GTX 1060s if you're willing to wait a few moments. The interesting angle here is that there is a consumer segment of hardware (gaming GPUs) that can be used to drive cool artistic experiments. I think for most people, even non-gamers, getting dedicated acceleration hardware is not any more expensive than an entry-level analog synthesizer.

Why would these books not be important?
Because reading the reviews it's seems that the book is (and I quote) "great resource for those who identify as nonbinary or asexual"

So yeah... this book not being important and > "Girls Who Code" is JUST a book that aims to introduce women to software development." IS just a figment of your imagination.

Your favourite word processor creates machine readable XML to an open spec, which can cleanly separate style from presentation through styles, much like TeX does. You can build documents entirely from the keyboard as code, or use Python or build your own higher level tools.

I perceive the problem differently. Google Fi has demonstrated that it's possible to arrange service agreements across providers that offer consistent, predictable, relatively low costs for people that travel frequently between countries. If there was another couple global-scale competitors to Fi I'd wager we'd see competition squash the prices down even more. But at the moment, when I step off a plane or drive across a national border it's an experience basically equivalent to driving across states here in the U.S. I've used it in 4 continents and about 20 countries now and it's pretty much instant.

The problem of course is that Fi is U.S. based which brings a few extra headaches with it for people who want the service but are based overseas, or for expats living abroad for a long period of time.

There's no advantage from a security point of view, but much disadvantage because the VPN is end-to-end encrypted between your phone and the VPN server. This is not; the mobile network has access to the plaintext traffic.

The advantages of this that I see is better/easier management, you deal with a nice web interface/API and (if needed) competent customer support people rather than monkeys.
Also, why do people convert movies to torrents and put them online? Why do people volunteer for their local community? Why do people write open source software?

Actually, Zen 4 implements true 512-bit registers.

See the other thread on HN, which points to
https://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=614191

It appears that Zen 4 implements around 192 registers of 512 bits. However, the latest Intel model (Sapphire Rapids) implements more 512-bit registers, around 332 such registers.

For most operations, Zen 4 has the same execution units as Zen 3, it has not expanded them to 512 bits, but the execution units of Zen 3 are enough to match the 512-bit throughput of the Intel CPUs. The only exception is that Zen 4 can do one 512-bit FMA and one 512-bit FADD per cycle, while the most expensive of the server and workstation Intel CPUs have a second 512-bit FMA unit, so they can do 1 FMA + 1 FMA, instead of 1 FMA + 1 FADD. The cheaper Intel CPUs with AVX-512 are worse than Zen 4, because they can do only 1 FMA, not also an FADD, like Zen 4.

On the other hand Zen 4 implements a true 512-bit shuffle unit, while the current Intel CPUs have only 256-bit shuffle units, slowing down the shuffles that must cross the register halves.

As tested at that link, while there are a few cases when Zen 4 has slower implementations for some 512-bit instructions, in many cases the AVX-512 implementation in Zen 4 is better than in the current Intel CPUs.
About books on gender roles: People are going through puberty at 14, and this is when questions about gender come up in a very pressing way. If you're trans, you might be disturbed by these changes and want some background information.

So it's actually correct for books about gender to be in the school library. I can't endorse a particular book ("Gender Queer"), of course -- is that a real example?

Usually the school librarian will be another check point on who has access to these books, if the library is open to a wider age group than, say, middle schoolers.

This kind of "just asking questions" -- singling out this particular category of book -- does carry special weight in the light of things like the coordinated campaign targeting Boston Children's Hospital. Why the extra scrutiny?

This post doesn't adequately explain how MDC isn't broken: if my PGP implementation gives me unauthenticated data, then I am not doing authenticated encryption no matter what might be smashed onto the end of my ciphertext. Folding authentication into the correctness decryption phase is the only secure and misuse-resistant way to do authenticated encryption; PGP fails to provide either.

We can nitpick about the factuality of the "16 bit" claim or the truncation attack (which I believe GPG has since fixed), but neither directly contradicts the above.

> Note that since PGP addresses offline non-connected media it is simpler to directly authenticate the material. So the sort of thing that is being described here as "authenticated encryption" is not usually relevant[2].

Okay, but you just pointed to this property as a "huge footgun" in age. Why is it a footgun there, and not in PGP?

Besides, this is entirely ignoring actual use patterns: age is intended for offline file encryption, while PGP is used in all kinds of online channels and directly advertises itself as a "toolbox" for any purpose.

> Would it care about devs using multiple languages, switching back and forth, or people coming to C++ from other languages though?

I'm not sure where we'd draw the line, and "nobody can reuse a reserved word that any other language uses unless they're conceptually identical" seems completely misguided. If you're using multiple langues and switching back and forth, it's your responsibility to know those languages. I use 5 languages frequently, "switching" at least several times per day. I'm a grayhair, so maybe I'm taking my experience for granted, but this seems like an unreasonable burden to put on language designers.
> Writing is important because with it we can overcome our natural memory limitations.

Very interesting. Is the theory here that by writing things out on a page we are then able to manipulate the ideas in our head without the usual limits of our working memory? Working memory is still limited but because all the information is so nearby and within view we can quickly put things in and out of our working memory so its limit doesn't impede us as much?

You might want to actually read the constitution before you spout off non-sense.

>The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Depends how you interpret the Fourth Amendment.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
> Nothing in the constitution says anything about spying on citizens being illegal. Moreover, you have no right to privacy.

Um, it does. The 4th amendment:

> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Edit: and I don't think the Constitution or Amendments have anything to say about classified documents, nor national security. (After all, it was written at a time when there was fresh memories of a foreign army marching through America. There was no 'national security'.) I wouldn't be surprised if that whole bureaucracy gets ruled unconstitutional at some point.

This is absurd. As an educator, there is no excuse for banning books like this. To get the best thinkers in tech, we need to welcome everyone into tech, and these kinds of book provide on-roads for non-traditional pathways (i.e. representation matters).
