These things happen. As I have gotten older, one of the most important things I have learned is that productivity is not a straight line. It's waves for me. Sometimes I'll be very interested and do great work, other days.. I should spend some time managing Jira or something.

Don't beat yourself up. You're not a machine. Address the things that are bringing you down by finding better replacements. Take time to form habits you prefer and let the rest sort itself out. Try to work towards small daily goals.
The tone of the article is extremely negative. Sociopath, Clueless, Loser. And that leads to a generally negative framing of everything and all of the people in question.

The general concepts: some people act as capitalists, some people find meaning in their work and lose sight of the capitalistic nature of work, and some people find meaning outside of work and do so by doing the bare minimum at work and not playing the capitalist game, are valid archetypes, however.
Worth noting that one of these suppliers appears to have been majority-owned by Hyundai itself. The Hyundai subsidiary apparently targeted the families of recent immigrants.
They were released by Levada, it's now been some time that they are being influenced by Kremlin.

None of my friends / relatives / acquintances supports this war (only my GF's mother). That is a piss-poor statistic, but the sad truth is that there simply cannot be any reliable sociology in a country where saying "no to war" leads to criminal prosecution.

I think it's also crucial, that from people who "support this war", most support the image they see on TV, not the real-world atrocities. Most of people who support this war think they are fighting "battalions of NATO soldiers from Poland" and a small group of nazis who threaten Ukraininan soldiers with death if they don't go into battle. For majority it's impossible to fathom fighting with brotherly Ukrainians.
That doesn't answer the question. Blocking isn't a matter of how much data is written, but a matter of when the system call completes. Other parts of that man page imply that write(2) may block, unless the fd was opened with O_NONBLOCK (in which case you'll get an EAGAIN error instead of it blocking).
Cool demoscene vibes.

There isn't a kind of story on HN where we just suspend the guidelines.
Also unlike a video game, the tech-tree dependencies are not obvious. We don't know in advance whether a tech will be a productive avenue of R&D, or if it depends on other unrelated advances in theory, material science, or computer modeling, or was actually completely unfeasible in the first place. I find wind power [1] as a case study representative, and we see similar stories for e.g. fusion, cancer research, AI

This is why I have on multiple occasions told people “I know it sounds stupid but if I’m ever in a coma, do not dare pull the fucking plug on me without an FMRI scan to look for any brain response to the outside world”

I can only imagine how much it could suck to be like this, but the idea of being conscious and realising that I have no way to tell them I’m “in here” while they assume I’m never going to recover and pull the plug, slowly dying of dehydration or hypoxia, that is fucking Nightmare Fuel with a capital N capital F, as in No Fucking Way I ever want that to happen.

I have made it clear on multiple occasions that I don’t care what you do once I’m definitely dead, but if you don’t make fucking sure to the best of science’s ability to check,
… not just accepting the doctor saying I’m not responsive and I’m probably gone… if there’s an afterlife I will haunt them, If not I want them to know how much I disapprove and wish their children and children’s children will look upon the decision to not even check I’m alive with the utmost disapproval.

It’s not fucking hard to check if there’s any brain activity in response to talking or touching or opening eyelids and holding things up in front of them… the alternative feels too monstrous to contemplate. We don’t exactly have dozens of stable coma patients who aren’t already likely to die from other issues related to injuries, etc… it really should be mandatory for stable coma patients to be rigorously scanned to make sure we aren’t accidentally murdering people like this…

Also in case anyone mistakes my phrasing as some sort of pro-life or anti-suicide thing… their body their choise… and I also fully support the right of any locked in person (among many other miserable conditions that also seem fair to allow medical suicide for) to say “fuck it, I’m out, this isn’t living” and be allowed medically assisted suicide, but they at least deserve to choose that to themselves. Hell.. I know I’d want the choice if I was in their shoes. Anyone that thinks someone should be forced to live like that should get their head examined.

Welcome to HN Stripe Support. How may we direct your call to Edwin @ Stripe?
Agreed, they will not attack randomly. They'll attack you fiercely the moment you try to do something right, or something that helps your corporation or a customer in any way that doesn't help them. So only if you are ethical in any way are you in danger.
> MIPS, Itanium, SPARC and POWER all have weak memory models.

This does not seem to hold for SPARC: according to

> https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/weakmemory/x86tso-paper.tpho...

the (strong) memory models of x86 and SPARCv8 are very related:

"We give two equivalent definitions of
x86-TSO: an intuitive operational model based on local write buffers, and
an axiomatic total store ordering model, similar to that of the SPARCv8."

"Our x86-TSO axiomatic memory model is based on the SPARCv8 memory model
specification [20, 21], but adapted to x86 and in the same terms as our ear-
lier x86-CC model."

"We have described x86-TSO, a memory model for x86 processors that does not
suffer from the ambiguities, weaknesses, or unsoundnesses of earlier models. Its
abstract-machine definition should be intuitive for programmers, and its equiva-
lent axiomatic definition supports the memevents exhaustive search and permits
an easy comparison with related models; the similarity with SPARCv8 suggests
x86-TSO is strong enough to program above."
"The Office" we're talking about here is not a syndicated TV show with a new episode every week; it's a British mini-series. You're likely referring to the US version of "The Office", which ran for 9 seasons and was wildly different from the British show (the showrunners attempted to clone the original but discovered that David Brent's character suited Ricky Gervais far more than it did Steve Carrell, and course-corrected to a different kind of show.)
It’s literally illegal to not be “in support” of the “special military operation” if you are in Russia. No poll could possibly be accurate.
On the contrary: this is free market end game. A market that is not for sale is not a free market.
I can't stand the tone of this video, so couldn't watch the whole thing but skipped through, and afaict it's debunking the idea that people ever really did this in battle? Not that the stunts in the video are fake?

Kind of a misleading thing to say it's 'thoroughly debunked' when it's very clearly for entertainment and just says they're 'myths'.
Does anyone have an good intro tutorial for writing a language server in, say, C for some simple language? I find most of the docs a little too inscrutable to follow for just a bit of dabbling.

Poor OpenRISC... Not even mentioned when they talk about RISC.
What he's saying is that it's only a US company in the legal sense and that they're not necessarily operated with "American values".
Unfortunately this level of fidelity relies on the user having effectively zero agency or ability to do anything or move anywhere outside of the tight boundaries of this area.

Still impressive! But probably not terribly compelling for anything other than pure looks.
You're confusing a few details, he was a CIA employee and he was almost certainly guilty. You should read through the court transcripts, they basically recovered logs showing him doing it on his workstation and managed to narrow it down to the leak on the basis of a typo in a command that existed in the logs and in the copy of the dump sent to wikileaks.

He spread a lot of FUD in his defence though, so if you don't pay attention and bother to read the court transcripts you'll walk away with the opinion you have.

For the record, he was barely computer literate-- they made their living writing programs that basically just inject DLLs and copy files. I'm probably being a little untruthful calling him border-line computer illiterate, he has a bachelors in CS or similar, but he was just a basic programmer and not some sort of super hacker or exquisite computer all-star.
This is the saddest part... from bribes to lobbying (legal bribes, a true WTF in it's own sense)...

Criminals are going to bribe, sure, undestandable.. but people, government employees, who should be working for 'us', the taxpayers, are taking bribes... the punishment for them should be a vastly higher than for someone just offering a bribe... and somehow, (usually) nothing ever happens to them... maybe someone loses their job, but that's it.
I don’t think the person you are replying to was saying child slavery was ok, just adding more info on they sometimes get away with it.
Another counterpoint - I greatly appreciates knowing just how bad things can be, sometimes for no reason. I am sure I am not the only one.

There's a gamut of actual reasons things go wrong, which I also learn from these "support tickets" and the associated comments. So also thanks to everyone who helps clarifiy what kinds of risks make problems more likely.
I think even without taking fully remote work into account. Using small offices in small cities is an untapped market of employees.There are plenty of 500k - 1M person cities that could support an office of 100-1000 engineers well. I don't see much benefit in these huge 10k, 20k+ office complexes when people still end up doing meetings on zoom because it takes too long.
No. After seeing devastation, the population would demand to escalate.
Yes, I saw that too, there’s just so much in there.
If you're incarcerated, you've forfeited a lot of other rights too. That's by design, and I happen to have the "extreme" opinion that incarceration should be punishment[1] rather than a cushy lifestyle. I 100% support forced labor (not cruel treatment or abuse) of the incarcerated.

[1] To clarify: there should be an element of punishment (in the form of forgone rights), but there's obviously more to it.
> run like independent kingdoms, staffed with people from other countries with their own restaurants and dorms so the workers are never exposed to the outside world

I find this incredibly interesting and somewhat surprising, can you substantiate the scale of this problem a little bit more, or link 3-5 map locations?
See this is interesting to me. I tend to agree with you and I think I would be in the de-escalate camp.

Now even if that group is in the minority, how large of a minority would it have to be to at least question the 'guaranteed immediate strategic nuclear retaliation' assumption in our models and plans?
Wake me up when it plays .s3m too

The concept of broken windows started in the 1980s and according to a recent paper it's not effective.

Here's an npr article showing that the effects in nyc were overstated

> I assumed there is a limit on the amount of buffered and not yet committed data, and when that is cross the call would block until more data is flushed to disk.

There is. It's tunable through /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio. When there is that much write cache, application writes will start to writeback synchronously.

There is also dirty_background_ratio, which is the threshold at which writeback starts happening in the background (that is, in a kernel thread).
It is very relevant since decommissioning a nuclear power plant requires building new fossil-powered ones, or reopening mothballed ones. Renewables + storage simply can't replace them completely yet.
To the casual eye those are two distinct issues. Child labour is like a child protection thing, and labour protection is like a commie socialism thing.

I’m no expert, but these things are historically intertwined. The fact that we even have laws against child labour is a product of 1930s labour organizing.
anything is worse than death as the dead don't suffer, by all currently available evidence.

but yeah, this one is definitely the absolute worse thing that could happen to someone, and let's not forget it is entirely man-made, given that fully paralyzed people are being forcefully kept alive by some f*cking sadist of a pro-lifer...
That doesn't make it ok, does it?

At what point did I say it was OK? You're railing against a comment that agrees with your position.
At a high level it's about doing as little as possible.

Don't allocate memory.
Don't re-layout ui.

He implied way more though :/ is that enough to justify a court case, no idea, but that's way more than enough to break his whole career.
> So why doesn’t anyone get central air conditioning? Because nobody else has it.

I suspect it's the same reason I myself don't buy it: it's only useful a couple weeks a year typically where I live.
I hadn't realized it before today, but Jerry Pournelle (a science fiction writer) pioneered here (with two groups, not three, which is an advance in understanding.)

"Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people":

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization."

> There are thousand of cases of minors sending nudes and causing legal investigations.

Do you have any evidence of this?
I really appreciate this because it's effectively the same advice as the "it's on you, stop complaining, stop feeling sorry for yourself, etc" stuff, except it's not at all condescending or demeaning, and it has more specific useful steps. I'm no longer in the rut I was in mid-to-late pandemic but this seems like a useful attitude for other areas in which I feel stuck.
That's like torture. That's awful.
There is outrage - just not enough

Just skimmed through the article, since I'm just here to testify that the most important revelation for me on writing APIs was that you can put and epoll_fd in an epoll_fd. This allows the API to have e.g. a single epoll_fd that contains all outbound connections, timers, signalfds and inotifys mentioned in the articled. Then the e.g. daemon using the APIs can have an epoll_fd per library it is using and just be sitting in the epoll_wait loop ready to fire library_x_process() call when events arrive.
Rao's article is definitely about the American version. Look at the character names and post-season 1 plots referenced.
Before the first await result1 the coroutine objects are in flight.
Thank you, I love Gabor Maté, I mean I'm sort of attached to him for being such a kind person, and I love hear him talk. I didn't know his book also touches on MS. Just got the audiobook, thanks!
Re: register windows. I disagree: code size wasn't the killer here, it was how DEEP the stack got. If your architectural register window spilled at 4 deep, then calls 3 deep were fine, but if you had a set of code attempting to iterate over a tight loop which had 8 calls deep, you were in [performance] trouble.

Another divot: asymmetric functional units. Some versions of Alpha supported a PopCount instruction, but it only worked in a single functional unit, which made scheduling a pain, esp. if you had to write in assembly language.

I'm not convinced that AVX 256 and AVX 512 are useful for non-matrix operations. Most strings (more importantly, parsing bounded by whitespace) are much shorter than 512 bits (32 bytes). In English, I cannot come up with many words longer than 16 bytes (some place names, antidisestablishmentarianism, chemical compound names, and some other stuff)
Some say that the old stories about the vikings (and others from other cultures) clearly weren't true or weren't even possible, but examples like this shows it is easy to wildly underestimate what is possible.
Doesn't Rogue Legacy 2's upgrade system mostly solve this issue? You'll eventually outscale the early game enemies and bosses, even if you're not very good?

I read upon accessibility recently and it surprised me how much of it was about simply making the game easier - aim assist, invulnerability, story mode... specifically for gamers like you.
Nevermind that you’d have about 10-15 minutes from launch of the inbound missile to get out of the urban center you inhabit, get to your plane, take off, and get 20 miles away.

You’d basically need a helicopter with you at all times, and realtime ICBM alert data. Not impossible, but not available to average hundred millionaires.
There is nothing that makes hypersonic reentry vehicles uniquely difficult to intercept, I'm not sure why anyone would assume that. The US considered this a solved problem in the 1980s.

As for the US being "behind", the US was developing and testing endo-atmospheric hypersonic missile platforms as far back as the 1980s. Russia et al designed hypersonic weapons with significantly compromised terminal guidance performance, a compromise the US will not accept in operational systems. Terminal guidance is the hardest technical problem when designing long-range endo-atmospheric hypersonic weapons. That the US is starting to move these systems toward production after 30-40 years of research suggests that they've solved the problem of terminal guidance to their satisfaction.
In the US just about every refrigerator sold now has an ice maker built-in. As someone who loves ice-cold beverages and crunching on ice cubes I’d have a hard time without it.
The correct solution to this is to make closed-source software illegal.

If everyone has full access to all code, then it's not possible to plagiarize in secret. It's open for everyone to see and to call out.

Then you don't need software licenses anymore.
Well, what exactly does "sustainable" mean?

If you take climate change as the impending complete disaster that some people see it as, it would kind of make it hard to sustain any ongoing development when it finally hits.

Overfishing should be clear enough; run out of fish, and civilization hits a major setback that makes it hard to sustain whatever we've been up to.

Gender equality and education access might be a bit more indirect, but at least so far our civilizational development has required a general upskilling of the population as a whole. And if you think that people are being excluded from that, then well a lack of additional people to upskill will turn into a blocker sooner rather than later and again make it hard to sustain that development.
I would also like to know...
Is it?

I think true free marketers are about fair competition, and few would argue that legislation is necessary.

Allowing one company to benefit by illegal behaviour distorts the market and thus goes against the principles of free markets.

I hadn't heard of tailscale before this, but this system is what I have always wanted for my devices. I just finished setting this up and it works amazingly well. Now I've got samba/nomachine/syncthing restricted to the tailscale network with aesthetically pleasing device names. Better security and I can roam now.

This is awesome stuff.
You said you don't believe there is some sort of corruption but were open to more info that would prove you wrong.

Yet when I am looking at a project that me and a couple of guys could do over a weekend then be told its going to cost enough for modest person to retire. I don't need extra evidence. I know immediately that corruption is at play. There is no honest answer that ends up at 1.7mil. Sure you will get a mile long list of "explanations" that are all part of the corruption. That pile of money is going into bank accounts at the end of the day and that's all there is too it.

How can a person not see this?
yeah same, games should allow to adjust difficulty or do it automatically.
I have zero problems with labor being part of a prison sentence, if done well.
Regarding the dopamine hit, I decided to cut my coffee consumption to once a week back in May. (Also basically quit Twitter, though that was both positive and negative stimulation, so maybe it doesn't quite apply here). I knew I took it as an escape from difficult parts of work. It sometimes worked, it helped me power through stuff in the moment, but I had a hunch that it somehow was holding me back in the long run. Good to hear a similar thing echoed here. Perhaps my decision is paying off now.
> Losing the ability to relax and the feeling of self-control, over-indulging in endless feeds of videos, games and services that further drain the energy that I so crave to return. To a point where it feels more like an addiction, with my body now responding with physical discomforts and a relapse of anxiety that I have not felt for years.

This is the core problem in Stolen Focus by Johann Hari, probably a bunch of other books too. It's an unfair fight: you vs the behemoth companies that produce the addictive feeds. Worth a read IMO
Come on. I hope you don't think that not failing to call out nonsense when your inaction will make other people get defrauded is the same as literally being killed by a trolley.

Why even reply on HN? It may be adverse to your wellbeing in the future, and doesn't confer any particular benefit to you today.
I despise remote/wfh articles for this reason on HN. At this point - some ML script could do a better job creating new comments than what people on HN could.

Everyone has to share their 10,000th anecdote about why work from office killed their pa and remote work - in the particular version they are experiencing - is the messiah.
My theory is that some people get really attached to the language and take criticism to it personal. See the comment above where someone says 'I feel compelled to defend the honor of my favorite language'. It does get cult-like at times, which is too bad as adressing the failings instead of ignoring them would improve the language and increase adoption.
What makes you so sure that people are coming here as a last resort, and not just as the easiest and fastest way to get a higher up to look at their personal support ticket?
