"It's complicated." Generally, with a regular file, write(2) will complete as soon as the the data makes it to filesystem buffers/cache. The data is probably not on disk when the call completes. This depends on how the file was opened (O_FSYNC, O_DIRECT, etc.) and the underlying filesystem itself. There are many other details at work, like actual file system, memory pressure (there may not be enough buffers), cache in the physical disk device or controller, etc. So the write call itself is "blocking", but the physical writes are (generally) not synchronous with the call.
> Unfortunately, thread-local storage is not async-signal safe.

Doesn't matter, because the signal handler in this case is strictly called "during" invocation of epoll_pwait, so there's no risk of it interrupting the initialization of a TLS object. The usual rules about async signal safety do not need to be followed here; it's as if epoll_wait()'s implementation made a plain old function call to the signal handler.

(Also, since we're talking about epoll, we can assume Linux, which means we can assume ELF, which means it's pretty easy to use thread_local in a way that requires no initialization by allocating it in the ELF TLS section. But yes, that's relying on implementation details I suppose.)

> kqueue EVFILT_SIGNAL

Having recently implement kqueue support in my event loop I have to say I'm disappointed by EVFILT_SIGNAL. It does not play well with signals that target a specific thread (pthread_kill()) -- on FreeBSD, all threads will get the kqueue event, while on MacOS, none of them do. Fortunately EVFILT_USER provides a reasonable alternative for efficient inter-thread signaling.

(I don't like using a pipe or socketpair as that involves allocating a whole two file descriptors and a kernel buffer, and it requires a redundant syscall on the receiving end to read the dummy byte out of the buffer. If you're just trying to tell another thread "hey I added something to your work queue, please wake up and check", that's a waste.)

"If it was just automation, it would still be here - only automated. It's not."

It is though. The U.S. steel industry which everyone thinks is dead, for example, is producing at about 70% of its all-time peak. It's just doing it with 15% or less of the peak workforce. And the current numbers represent about 5% of world steel production - which is consistent with our population, just not with the fact that we once produced the majority of the world's steel.

Why on earth would I ever "make" a bed. The only reason I ever do it is if guests are coming over, and on their bed.

So what if they call themselves an aptitude test? Believing what it says on the label is naive. I prefer to think of it as Jordan Peterson would say: it's a dragon guarding the treasure you wish to obtain. Your goal is to find a way to slay it. Family money can help, but I can tell you from experience that it's not a requirement. Some kids fully devoted themselves to the slaying of this dragon; others had a more "whatever happens, happens" attitude.
I think a likely reason for the Pi marks is that there’s lots of work to be done on the 64-bit OS. They still recommend the 32-bit version even though newer Pi’s have 64-bit CPU’s.

an exemption from a child labor prohibition doesn't equal consent

the Department of Labor has an exemption for children working in their parents business because that's the only way they could get the prohibitions passed, since children cannot speak for themselves on the matter after recognizing that children can't legally consent to anything which is why there are prohibitions on the matter.

what you are writing is a wild distortion of the concept of consent, that many people consider dangerous to harbor.

there is legal consent restrictions (ie. even if someone says okay, its not valid), as well as societal consent recognitions such as when power dynamics are not in someone's favor and some extremes of that we don't allow to happen.

even for things they are allowed to do autonomously, there are age restrictions on that.
I do believe government intervention has many unintended consequences but I'll take a stab at this. How about google search?
It doesn't matter, because these clauses are only relevant when determining the license granted to someone who is consuming the library. If an open source project does that, the following item applies:

"Works in Source or Object form are licensed to You under the Apache License, Version 2.0 if ... you are consuming the Work in for use in software licensed under an Open Source or Source Available license."

So at that point the author of said open source project gets to redistribute the source of the library under AL - and only AL defines what further derived works can and cannot do with it.

This makes sense because the incidence of MS is much larger as you move away from the equator; the incidence at 20deg is half that of 60deg away.

Could that explain the higher incidence among females too? Do males spend more time outdoors?
Not knowing for this particular device, but generally for MCUs?

Install a manufacturer-specific toolchain, often based on some minimally changed Eclipse IDE and gcc, Write your software in as old a C dialect you can, sprinkle some generous helping of assembly in.

To know which registers to use, dig through thousands of pages of documentation, some more, some less helpful. Most functions are just accessible by flipping bits in specific registers.

Afterwards, build the software and flash it with a dongle on it, then run the code.

For debugging, you mostly have SWD or JTAG which allows you to poke and change at all registers and any memory, and stop the code when and wherever you want.

Which is desperately needed, as most MCUs are riddled with weird edge cases and undocumented behavior.

TikTok is no different to Facebook (Meta) and as Facebook has already been fined in the billions by the FTC over this, the same should also happen to TikTok and repeat offenders should also be fined in the tens of billions of dollars.

> A cache miss and going to RAM is usually fast enough that we as software engineers don't care about it, and in fact our programming language of choice may not even give us a way of telling the difference between a piece of data coming from a CPU register or L1 cache vs going to RAM, but that doesn't mean the blocking isn't happening.

Yes, this is the line being discussed, and I guess (historically) I’ve just considered “a cost” without dragging “blocking” into the equation. We know that not accessing memory is cheaper than accessing it, and we can tune (pack our structs, mind thrashing the cache), but calling that blocking is still new to me. I’ll have to consider what it means. And also, does it imply the existence of non-blocking memory (I don’t think DMA is typically in a developers toolkit, but…)?
Same here. You were expected to find your own way home afterwards since the buses were long gone (parents drive you, upperclassmen gives you a ride, bike, walk, etc, so I guess cost of gas could factor in here), but in general none of the clubs cost anything to join.
> You seem to be painting all libertarians as a homogeneous extremist bloc, which is just as fallacious as ascribing minority hardline stances to "all liberals" or "all conservatives". The above describes general concepts that libertarians support, and absolutes such as "absolute personal freedom" are ideologies that pragmatists recognize as infeasible.

No, libertarians are not like 'liberals' or 'conservatives', they are libertarians, and they believe in an absolutely minimal amount of state intervention. Have you talked to any before? It seems like you read a few books and have some notion of some kind of libertarianism which is not at all what is advocated for by real life 'libertarians'. There is a 'Libertarian' party in the USA and they have candidates and an agenda. You may believe one thing, and call other people's views 'fallacious' but those views are based very much on Libertarianism as represented by Libertarians.

Here are some candidates for the Libertarian party.

No, it cannot run Python. Even MicroPython [1] requires 16 KB of RAM, and probably at least 8 times more flash (code space) than this chip has.

This is an embedded microcontroller, not a general-purpose computer. You program it in C, and poke registers to make things happen.

I hear you about this, but during prototyping one cannot be excessively concerned with did I change the global state enough such that it's better to just start a new REPL (and have to worry about the associated costs)? And if you ask this question a lot, long running REPLs are not a good idea for development.
Show HN: MagiTok, Automatically turn YouTube videos into Tik Tok videos

I'm pretty happy with the general GL experience but some of the features are just useless. I tried out the Sentry integration and found it to just be a worse version of the index page on Sentry, not really any point connecting it to GL. And then other things like deleting old images in the docker registery seems to be just broken to the point I couldn't work out how to delete them. And then the usage quotas were being brought in while I still couldn't clean out these hundreds of old containers.

> High schoolers can walk around unattended. Even a quarter mile, both ways. It's not a big deal. In the summer I often try to get in 5 miles a day of running/walking.

Extremely location dependent. Where I live today, in Virginia very close to DC, I commute by bike and do lots of biking/walking for fun and to run errands. What you are saying about walking around as a means of getting from place to place is just completely untrue in many parts of the United States.

I made a specific point about my ES/MS because of how egregious it was to have them at a half mile's walk away but with unacceptably dangerous terrain, in the very place I grew up. My HS was a couple miles away and, until ~2010 when they built a protected ~800ft long MUP, would have required walking/riding on the highway to reach without a car as well.

The point of that is that if you live in an area like this and your parents work, you are extremely handicapped in what you can do by yourself. You would need a third car to get yourself around and if you cannot manage that then you are completely subservient to your parents' availability and your local school bus schedules for all of your transportation needs. Which has repercussions on clubs, extracurriculars, your social life, really the full range of experiences you can have growing up.

When I was in K-12 my life consisted mainly of school, sleep, and playing video games in the basement. Now that I am in a city and can go wherever I want whenever I want I find I am extremely active and social and have many different hobbies.
IMO nuclear game theory especially around Launch on Warning / immediate retaliation is going to change in the coming years as everyone builds up conventional global strike missiles. Decision makers will be incentivized to at least wait for confirmation before ending the world.

But otherwise I'm much more pessimistic about narrative around "retaliation" because I think when shit hits fan, MAD doesn't just extends to nations trading nukes but eradicating their entire alliance network that can help rebuild as well. US cold war nuke plans on USSR included nuking PRC just in case. USSR was going to make sure Europe was a wasteland that couldn't help wasteland US rebuild. On paper US/USSR had thousands of nukes because you need multiple for counter-force on harden targets. On secret paper, it's counter value your entire rival block to ensure anyone who can be potential threat after, aren't.

Does anyone feel that the Linux API (and so the kernel) is slowly getting more and more complex and cumbersome?
In my experience: The UX, performance (objectively: not just in terms of CI speed, which is poor, but Largest Contentful Paint times for most user-facing pages on gitlab.com as well as the average API response time figures for e.g. listing issues are also poor), stability and "community" (I'm thinking of third-party apps, integrations and marketplace for reusable CI components) is strictly worse than GitHub.

Basic accessibility features for colour blind users lagged behind GitHub for years, making it difficult for me to even review diffs and work out what had been removed/added. In the end, I think the customisation feature only got shipped because an external company opened a merge request - and parts of it still fail WCAG AA today.

There's no longer a gap when it comes to GitHub and GitLab in terms of CI support, and I really don't think some of the e.g. Kubernetes integration functionality justifies picking it as the canonical location for an organisation's code.

Recently they've had to start to cut back on storage limits (and had to 180 on deleting repositories to try and free up space), which casts doubt in my mind on their financial stability.

Really though, I'm just fed up of having to put up with using it day-to-day, because clients I work with decided it would be great to pick it X years ago when GitHub wasn't as feature-rich. I now look at companies who cheap out and run self-hosted GitLab/GitLab.com with some suspicion, and question why they're not using the de facto standard tool for the job. I look at it the same as if I found a Java shop that didn't use JetBrains' products for development, it's a red flag.
If the company framed it as a homeschool plus internship, there would be no issue for them.
When was Meta fined for secretly building a system to track the whereabouts of specific individuals?

You may be thinking of Lundy et al v. Meta Platforms, in which they were not fined but agreed to a civil settlement and denied they were doing what was claimed. In that cases, it wasn't even alleged that they were trying to make the locations of specific individuals available for human analysis.
And yet Facebook is still going (just like their competitors), so clearly the fines weren’t enough.

In the last 2 years GitHub has improved massively while GitLab seems to have only hiked prices while not improving much on the reliability and general UX sides. I don't personally have any issues with them putting quotas on all the stuff that used to be unlimited because I recognize things have to remain sustainable, but to justify these costs, the service has to feel rock solid like GitHub does.
