The null pointer optimization is documented in many places, here's one official instance I published in 2015: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/repr-rust.html

There are many random details of a language that are "important" and they get documented all over the place. If it was all under "THE REFERENCE" and was a 500 page PDF, would the information actually be more discoverable? How would you even know to look up what you don't know? Are you going to read the reference cover to cover before writing hello world?
Look where? Even China takes 10 years to build a nuclear plant.
I called this a data grab from day 1 and stand by that. The amount of fellow iOS developers I've had argue for the "convenience" is astounding. There should be a settings toggle to control the auto-reenable behavior.
Growth was like 50% last year. They're just coming back to earth in a post pandemic world. In fact growing revenue at all now that people spend so much less time on their computer seems like a huge win to me, now they just need to control costs.
I liked your original comment, not because I agreed or disagreed with the utilitarian angle, but because it raised the most interesting emotional aspect of this story. Thanks for making it.
I have since seen a number of voids named Toothless. Some of them weren't even bitey (which seems like false advertising to me).
Of course! We all know who 'runs' those companies, who is the prominent face of those companies, who has repeatedly made very public (and often dubiously factual) pronouncements about the exact technologies and products at the center of the investigation, who has all their net worth tied up in these companies, who has been an outspoken critic of various government agencies (and relatively politically active), and also happens to be very publicly buying a hot button social media platform right now.

Completely unrelated to Mr. Musk, I'm sure.

The update at the bottom is kind of interesting. All browsers are equally fast, which makes sense because wasm should speak directly to the hardware more easily than javascript.
What they’re doing by removing different types of sensor is -simplifying- the Tesla system design and bringing it closer to human senses (ie eyesight alone).

Apparently Hacker News thinks humans are safer than Autopilot. So why wouldn’t we advocate a highly advanced vision-based model in cars, rather than a complex, awkwardly synchronised fusion of different classes of sensor?

Take LiDAR, for example. Some claim it’s superior to Tesla’s vision sensors. But LiDAR can’t detect colour, so how will it read traffic lights? Its model of the world will have to be synced up to a camera vision-based model of the world. Syncing two 3D (4D in fact) models precisely is a pretty tough problem to solve. Complexity becomes a risk in its own right.
Complete anecdote, but my dad and I would play games like Zelda growing up (fond memories). Not sure if that's why I like puzzles now, but it definitely fits with the problem solving involved in software engineering. Or the two are completely unrelated.
This it's all true, and all frankly awful. I refuse to take part in apps that do this and implore you all to do the same.
The way RSUs are calculated (dollar amount to shares at time of hiring) he'll be able to convince new joiners just fine. Holding onto current employees would be the challenge - assuming he wants to hold onto them in the first place.
That statement is about a national security review. What Reuters report do you think this disputes? Reuters reported on an investigation claim made by others in court:

You are right, though of course no single person is the authority on what the ultimate moral truth is, so this is perhaps a non-operative statement when it comes to governance.
> The trials weren't designed to detect anything except reduced PCR test positivity i.e. infections.

> They didn't attempt to determine what a "severe case" was because that distinction was invented only after the falling effectiveness made it necessary to do so

I'm sorry, but you're wrong on both of these points. From the Moderna phase-3 trial description [0] on clinicaltrials.gov:

> Primary Outcome Measures:

> 1. Efficacy: Number of Participants with a First Occurrence of COVID-19 Starting 14 Days after Second Dose of mRNA-1273

If you look at the trial protocol, there is no regular PCR testing (except for at the start of the trial and at administration of the 2nd dose). Only people who have two or more symptoms are tested. This means that the trial is only meant to test efficacy against symptomatic infection (also known as "CoVID-19," the disease, as opposed to the virus, "SARS-CoV-2"). From the scientific paper[1] on Moderna's phase-3 results:

> Covid-19 cases were defined as occurring in participants who had at least two of the following symptoms: fever (temperature ≥38°C), chills, myalgia, headache, sore throat, or new olfactory or taste disorder, or as occurring in those who had at least one respiratory sign or symptom (including cough, shortness of breath, or clinical or radiographic evidence of pneumonia) and at least one nasopharyngeal swab, nasal swab, or saliva sample (or respiratory sample, if the participant was hospitalized) that was positive for SARS-CoV-2 by reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) test.

Then, later on from clinicaltrials.gov:

> Secondary Outcome Measures:

> 1. Number of Participants with a First Occurrence of Severe COVID-19 Starting 14 Days after Second Dose of mRNA-1273 or Placebo

So you see that the idea of preventing "severe CoVID-19" goes back all the way to the formulation of the trials in early 2020.

And more detail from the scientific paper:

> A secondary end point was the efficacy of mRNA-1273 in the prevention of severe Covid-19 as defined by one of the following criteria: respiratory rate of 30 or more breaths per minute; heart rate at or exceeding 125 beats per minute; oxygen saturation at 93% or less while the participant was breathing ambient air at sea level or a ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen below 300 mm Hg; respiratory failure; acute respiratory distress syndrome; evidence of shock (systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure <60 mm Hg, or a need for vasopressors); clinically significant acute renal, hepatic, or neurologic dysfunction; admission to an intensive care unit; or death.

When Germany is de-industrialised due to the lack of cheap energy making its products uncompetitive, Mercedes-Benz will possibly go under as a main-stream car-maker.

I don't reject it based on age. I reject it based on the fact that the people in question were largely slaveowners who led a revolution because the government of Britain was trying to muscle in on their tea smuggling operations, who thought that phlogiston existed, who were deists, who have nothing to teach us today.
Depends on your definition of "high-end", while I personally stick with Mikrotik and Juniper gear a TP-Link TL-SG2008 is only $70 and gives you 8x1GbE ports and support for 802.1x just fine. For wireless you'd use WPA-Enterprise, which is pretty common on most consumer grade routers (for some reason), readily accessible on anything you can install OpenWRT on, and then on prosumer stuff like Ubiquiti AP's.

There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.
iPhone user since 2009. I used Siri for about a month when it first came out because I really liked hearing a British man's voice said "SSSSHedule" to me instead of "skedule", but then I learned it was sending all audio to the cloud and noped out.
Discarding all the moderate users seems like a design flaw. A possible effect on cognition is a fairly natural question for regression.

Maybe you saw it in the text but, "This threshold was selected as it exceeds the American Academy of Pediatrics screen time guidelines, which recommend that videogaming time be limited to one to two hours per day for older children."

The thought process I can sort of imagine is that the tests are fairly costly and the hypothesis they're testing is that more play than the official recommended limit should decidedly give detectable impairments to cognition. (Seems they could have rejected that, if they'd had comparable groups in the first place. Now I'm not sure what it says)
"There's a lot of interest in this. We heard those reportings, those reportings are not true, so we'll leave that there. The national security review, that is not true and I really don't have more to say on that piece, on Elon Musk and what he's choosing to do and not to do, I'm not going to say more from here".

Which... sounds exactly like what the person you are replying to was saying.
I'm an avid iPhone user but have never had the need or the desire to use Siri.

I suggest people do what I do, load a profile that disables Siri - easily created using the Apple Configurator tool (under "Restrictions" untick "Allow Siri").

N.B. I've never looked closely under Settings on the phone itself, there may well be Siri off option there ? But I just load profiles as I find its easier for hardening.

Frankly, I'm vexed by the trends as well, but from the opposite direction - I liked when South Texas was the backwater and Austin was a weird little city, but I don't think there's any going back. My property taxes sure aren't. I'm just hoping that I can make enough to retire somewhere cheaper and cooler in the summer eventually.

I played MD recently again, including all the DLCs. It was not unstable or buggy at all. I played under Linux, but am not 100% certain anymore that I played the Linux version and not the Windows version via Proton. In any case, maybe something to test next time you play it.

There is only one DLC I'd call excellent though: A Criminal Past. The others sadly are not great. Desperate Measures might be included now, but is just missing content from the main story, suffering by it being not integrated properly and it saw clearly less design work. System Rift saw even less, it's made cheaply - but not not fun and at least a story of its own. And then there is A Criminal Past, better than some parts of the main game, the only one I'd absolutely recommend.
>This is nonsense. Money is very real because it’s an abstraction for materials, goods, services, etc.

Abstractions are by definition not real.

What's real about the money is the political and legal power (enforced by actual people) that allows you to exchange it with goods.
facebook and tiktok serve completely different niches, as much as mark doesn't want to admit it. Tiktoks network is billions of people, facebook still controls the "social" network. That may be less important as people transition to online personalities, but I don't see the demand for an actual social network of real life friends/acquaintances going away anytime soon.
How is the alternative not?

Tiktok is a national security threat; orange-man-bad isn't a staple in any useful political discourse.
I was under the impression that most robo dialer's calls originated offshore with spoofed numbers that appear to be within your area code. It's possibly not though, like if someone is taking advantage of targeting a specific carrier's numbers from outside their network but I don't know. That might require the carrier to forward the calls. There are other exceptions for robo calls the callers could be using for themselves.

If the robodialers are actually doing this inside of the US we could probably find who these people are. I imagine the majority of calls are made by a few scaled up calling operations. That's what previous arrests for this suggest. Although the technology is catching up and I have been getting fewer calls.
I agree, but I think this predates Obama. More like post Reagan US? Maybe post Clinton?

> Well, I've been trying for about three years, but to be fair I'm a pretty slow programmer so you may have better luck.

Well, your own link proves it, doesn't it? Kotlin has nominal subtyping, contravariance, and generics, therefore its type system is undecidable.

> I think it needs to be a generic type in Kotlin for this to work, because otherwise it will dispatch to a single method.

That's the whole point - the type system has to decide which overload to dispatch it to at compile time, which it can only do by performing an arbitrarily complex computation. I ported that code directly to Kotlin and it doesn't compile but it "should", which, well, I don't know what you were expecting or what you'd accept as proof when we've already got an academic paper that proves the point.
This equal rights principle is implied by "all men are created equal" and both parties would support the explicit amendment, maybe for different reasons. The red camp wants to end "affirmative" action, while the blue camp wants to affirm rights of minorities. I guess the wording of the amendement is what would cause a fight.

The original claim I replied to was talking about the possibility of Tesla getting sued for delaying multiple times the release of a product that's in active development (and thus being unavailable). I don't see how the discussion about a product that the public has no access to "killing people" is relevant at all.

podman-compose is indeed a separate script. I had some bugs with that, but it might be fixed now.

I feel like I have the opposites of an addictive personality.

In the same vein as GP, the validity of an idea is independent of whether the people who held them owned slaves. If you don't own slaves but think the sun rises from the west, you're still wrong.

Besides, if the only things to be learned from history are those from whom you deem morally clean, I'd wager there's precious little left at all.
I don't see how the abuses in the current system make it less chaotic.

sophisticated tradecraft has this air of magic to it. it's subtle and it fools you, it breaks our abstraction of "this device does X" by making it do Y, exploiting the details of the mechanism we gloss over.

another example is the Pegasus spyware, which surreptitiously assembled a Turing machine out of PDF decompression logic in iMessage. or the Thing, an old Soviet bug with no electronics, just passive bits of metal that reflect and modulate an RF beam.

there's probably many more examples of clever tricks that stayed secret, and are forgotten to time.

End-user workstations are way different than operational hosts. The workstations themselves are not "serious" because they don't necessarily need configuration management, compliance monitoring, centralized user management, operational metrics monitoring, yadda yadda yadda. The service which builds those workstations' custom images is operationalized and does need all this. I'm not a Windows shop. There's no Windows in my datacenter. That's reason enough to use "non-native" processes for building Windows images.
In reality the US Constitution [as practiced] = US Constitution [the words] + Supreme court decisions + Legislature rules + enforcement + de facto practice/assumptions*.

This article focuses just on the first, but we can tackle the others too

Supreme court decisions -> discussions of court reform

Legislature rules -> e.g. discussions of ending filibuster

Enforcement -> Reducing secrecy in government (most places where the US government is just outright ignoring the constitution depends on secrecy)

de facto practice -> all this hand-wringing about "norm breaking" really boils down to some assumptions. We don't have a well developed conversation here, but generally these things should be codified.

Interesting thought. Or more likely, I'd guess, spy agencies might recruit existing Big Tech company employees who have access to sensitive and desirable things. That's usually how it happens, reportedly, when American security clearance holders get caught doing bad things: they aren't deep cover agents who spent years working their way into position, they approached or got approached by foreign agents because of their position.
