You do understand that critical thinking is literally the point of journalism, right?

In 2022, I'd certainly give the same directive. Our industry can and should be held to account, just like any other seat of power. (Because that's what we are now, whether we like it or not.)
I agree. The signal/noise ratio on HN is much better than many other sites.
Google for Intel hardware prefetcher and you'll turn up some info.

Re: benchmarks. Not likely exactly what you're looking for, but the GigaUpdates Per Second benchmark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giga-updates_per_second) is sort of the most-pathological-case of pointer jumping where the jumps are random. Prefetchers don't do well with that (for obvious reasons) - they tend to work best when there is some pattern to the accesses. Linked data structures often live somewhere in between - they may start with good, regular stride patterns, but then over time as elements are added and moved around, it turns into a tangle of spaghetti.

Edit: I should add more. While prefetchers do exist in hardware, they're a bit of a murky subject. Sometimes they speed things up, sometimes they do so bad they slow everything down. They can be very workload dependent. And to top it off, hardware vendors can sometimes be a bit opaque when explaining what their prefetching hardware actually does well on. It's probably safest to not assume your hardware will help you when it comes to tangled pointer jumping code, and if you can avoid it via a different data structure it's probably good to do so. That said, other data structures may entail other tradeoffs - better cache usage for lookups, but potentially more expensive insertions. As usual with data structures, its a game of balancing tradeoffs.
What did anyone expect? Everyone's been getting smoke blown up their ass for years now by 'revolutionary' app makers that did very little except skate around regulations and make speculators money. The entire industry looks sleazy no matter which way you cut it. My only surprise is that the editors felt the need to say anything.
Every element of the list, from its own point of view, is another list.

I can personally attest to the fact that if your uninvited assessment of vulnerabilities reaches the level of gaining unauthorised access to computer systems - i.e. if you find something and check it works - you are technically in violation of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

It's very easy to forget such laws exist because 99.99% of cybercrime goes unpunished - but that's for small victims, with hard-to-find attackers who are likely beyond the police's jurisdiction. If the 'victim' is an important government department, and you are within the police's jurisdiction, you could be one of the few people to actually face punishment - unjust though that may seem.
Last month I was interested in WebOjects & went back & watched Jobs present on it. That kind of history being lost to society, obliterating how time has moved & passed on, is anti-civilization.

This post needs a fact check.

Title is inaccurate. False & misleading.

Users tagged post with links to opinion articles for "more information", to stymie Musk.

This is the exact problem that Twitter has had and hopefully will be fixed. If we just call something fact checked and then toss some links in, the poster is discredited...?

This means nothing and doesn't prove he has said anything untrue or false. It says some people think there's other reasoning. How is that a fact check?

A ring-buffer based queue is mostly better than a linked list but it is not necessarily the best. The typical STL deque implementation [1], with all its complexity, is usually faster than a ring buffer.

IMHO, you are using a different meaning of the word 'critical' than the tweeter.
Yes, if it were any different they would need to register as lobbyists.

A disinterested yet divided electorate illustrates how well things are going since people focus on major differences with minor significance rather than sweating the details of minor differences with major significance.
Emotions, rather than logic. Irrespective of party, for a sadly large portion of voters. Not everyone in every party, maybe more in some parties than others (I don't have any data for that, this is just a theory / supposition); but even for whatever party you the reader is most aligned with, there will be some who blindly follow that party and do not think for themselves.
There are multiple tiers to Starlink (residential, RV, boat, plane, …). I don’t think Ukraine gets the most basic plan with limited bandwidth and meant for stationary dishes.

If I understood correctly some are used as a backbone for their internet infrastructure and some on the field on moving vehicles. The $110 plan wouldn’t cover those use cases.

Connecting to a webserver using HTTP is not a criminal act, under any colour of the law. If you have a listening port open to the internet, you are inviting connections.

Picking pockets is stealing; this is more like saying "Hello!" to someone who is standing in their own open doorway, and observing their response.

I don't think there's anything in the article about this programme providing server operators with reports. They're not trying to save operators from themselves.

More like self fulfilling prophecy. The clique preferentially favors doing business with each other causing their businesses to perform better.
It's wild that HN, forum that seems disproportionately in favor of unregulated speech should feel uncomfortable when a newspaper chooses a critical editorial stance.

You agree that, by your own lights, editorial stances of newspapers are none of your business, yes? Free speech, yes?

Everyone says 'both sides' but that's not actually the case, is it? Shoe, meet other foot.

Note that this (and the article) describes an intrusive linked list. Extrusive linked lists (like you might see in a class library or CS 101 project), where the node structure is heap-allocated separately from the data that it points to, have very few practical advantages over vectors, which is why standard libraries are increasingly defaulting to vectors even when the class is named "list".
As any generalization this one too is, of course, incorrect.

In the real world of application development when choosing between Vector and LinkedList the answer is almost always Vector. There are, of course, certain problems where LinkedList is always the correct answer.

However for all problem that have chosen either Vector or LinkedList as their container of choice a super majority should choose Vector.

I just checked on my account and I have 126 published reviews on Amazon. I can recall around 10 that were denied, about half of which seemed "OK, that's fair in retrospect" and a modest edit and resubmit got them published. The other half of the denies I couldn't really figure out and just ignored (some of which were solid product, 4 or 5 star reviews).

I have several 1-star reviews among the published.

> "Do you want to repeal suffrage?"

> And naturally, most have no clue that has to do with women's voting rights, and asking to repeal them.

“Women’s suffrage” is the right of women to vote. “Suffrage” itself is simply who gets the right to vote. “Repeal women’s suffrage” has a very clear meaning, “repeal suffrage” is vague and unclear what is being repealed. Women’s suffrage? Universal male suffrage? (Once upon a time, most men couldn’t vote, since they didn’t meet the property qualifications.) Abolish elections altogether? (Use sortition? Introduce a dictatorship?)

People aren’t stupid to be confused by a confusing question.
>Cancel culture is a circumvention of democracy and justice. No trials, no votes - just a handful of loudest, most reactionary people stamping their feet and screaming until they get what they want.

Yes, we call that a free society. People have the rights of freedom of expression and freedom of association, and are allowed to exercise those rights without government intermediation. Those rights even allow people to try to influence other people's behavior, or put public pressure on them in order to attempt to enforce social norms or push a political agenda outside the realm of voting or a court of law.

>Yes, free speech allows cancel culture to exist, but that in itself doesn't make it good.

So you don't believe in free speech, you just believe in freedom for the speech you agree with.

Cycle detection in (currently) 44 languages. Most (all?) use Brent's algorithm. They're operating on an iterated function but converting most of these to detect cycles in a linked list would be straightforward.

I guess you can delete data from a blockchain by having a rollback.

The etherium blockchain also is much more than a "block chain". But it is still very much a solution in search of a usecase.

Digital money is the only area where a blockchain is a sensible choice from a technical point of view, that I know of. Although I am entirely unconvinced that bitcoin or etherium actually are even close to a viable interpretation of digital money. Say what you want about paypal, it isn't distributing my payment details publically.

...though Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, and 2000, and the original release of Visual Studio 6, are all absent because of the Sun lawsuit, which prohibited all distribution of Microsoft software that contained Microsoft's opinionated Java VM - and all "J++" tooling. This even extends internally: when I was working at Microsoft I had to get special-clearance to have an admin-asssistant get me Windows 2000 burned to a CD-R so I could run Windows 2000 just so I could take screenshots of an obscure Office 2000 product for a presentation for a meeting that got cancelled. It would have been quicker just to RDP in to my home VM server and booted off my own pirated Windows 2000 ISOs lol.
Why do you think the userbase would be superior? Twitter, like most social media platforms, prioritizes controversy. Pot-stirrers are the ones who get amplified. Why should we trust an incredibly polarized userbase to somehow lack bias?

And unlike the last time we had inflation where only 10% was caused by coorperate profits it is currently 50%.

Rasing rates may not be the optimal solution although probably the quickest way to make an impact.

The thing no one wants to hear but probably effective would be a heavy tax on coorperate profits (targeting specific industries, e.g. Oil) and unrealized capital gains made during the inflation.
For values of "now" >= 2007, yes.

Last I checked this was very much a gray area. I’d expect at least a long investigation into the amount of work and testing put into validating that the self-driving algorithm operates inside reasonable standards of safe driving. In fact, I expect that, as the industry progresses, the tests for minimal acceptable self-driving safety get more and more standardised.

That doesn’t answer the question of who’s responsible when an accident happens and someone gets hurt or dies - but then, there was a time when animals would be judged and sentenced if they committed a crime under human law. That practice is no longer deemed valid, maybe we need to agree that, if the self-driving car was built with reasonable care, accidents can still happen and it’s no one’s fault.
Nice job if you can get it!

True, but when the corporate entity makes revenue, you basically decide to either keep it as a profit, or reinvest into the company itself. You would assume that reinvesting means the company is growing and so is worth more.

It's at odds with it, but so are many other data structures found in the standard library. The solution is usually to use unsafe { } inside the data structure to allow for those criss-crossing pointers (while exposing safe, checker-friendly interfaces to the outside world)

Sharing so much information about a company you work for publicly may have been considered a fireable offense. Gives hackers a lot of insight on how to infiltrate a company and what their weaknesses may be.
> the lack of very specific context in this case is nowhere near a blatant manipulation

I disagree. First of all the increase wasn't Biden's administration merit and that's one blatant lie.

Then if the social security benefits have increased only to keep up with inflation, to celebrate this as positive is clearly misinformation. Those receiving the benefits are as poor as they were before, while society as a whole becomes poorer. Nothing to celebrate here.
Comcast, Time Warner, ATT, all the mobile providers have been doing this in the US for years. It makes sense to me to do this for something like Starlink that has actual limitations based on spectrum/physical availability of chunks of metal hurtling around the planet.
It might not be immediately obvious that this can happen, but in practice, this scenario happens very frequently, because if you free a node and then malloc a node, you're very likely to get the same address back with most memory allocators.

Clearly his tool was designed and intended to download emails to explicitly take it off the corporate computer. What point is there in releasing a tool for downloading documents ON the corporate computer ("wanted to save some important documents before potentially losing access") when you entirely lose access to that corporate computer in case of termination. This in combination with the cartoons and other rebellious antics as noted in his blog posts I'm not surprised he got fired.

There is no "data" that would satisfy you if your intuition is so completely erased that you need some sociologist to tell you this.

Taste is a manifestation of beauty and beauty in all forms is universal and hypnotic and skill-independent. Babies, animals, 80 year old grandmas, all incapable of executing, all still respond to beauty. Beauty instantiates itself in different "tastes" of the day, maybe, but there is no act of beauty that becomes ugly over time. There are buildings from across the world 500 AD we consider beautiful and even try to emulate today. Execution has very little to do with this; you don't need to be a bricklayer to appreciate the pretty brick building from 16th century London.

The people who are most incapable of having good taste are generally not the unskilled people - those actually instinctively orient themselves to beauty when they encounter it - far from it, it is the seething subset of lesser skilled people who resent their inability to produce something of beauty and respond crabs-in-a-bucket style by taking true beauty down a notch. It is pompous art gallery types that will try to persuade you that the signed toilet bowl is "akshually art", worthy of being preserved in museums next to Caravaggio.
You're joking right?

"I made an extra test that wraps matrix4x4 in std::unique_ptr."

And that is your test? One piece of code? Not even presenting disassembly? Who the hell knows what your compiler wrought in response to your "std::unique_ptr" and "matrix4x4" ?
Seems to have worked fine to make the Pentagon anxious to get the negotiation done rather than sit on the whole thing for as long as humanly possible (what I’d expect as a default from a bureaucracy of that size):

> “Negotiations are very much underway. Everyone in our building knows we’re going to pay [SpaceX],” the senior Pentagon official told CNN, adding that the department is eager to have commitments in writing “because we worry [Musk]’ll change his mind.”

Whether this was a deliberate negotiation strategy or a simple case of Musk being Musk in public, I can’t tell.
Suing Twitter
That makes sense if you think of things in purely monetary terms, the money was skimmed off and given to the 1%.

It doesn't make sense if you think of it in terms of the supply and demand of goods and services. If demand exceeds the capacity of society to produce and import, we get inflation and full employment. The US has had modest to high inflation and high employment for most of the last decade. So clearly there isn't an excess of goods and services, because if there is, sellers undercut each other for market share which keeps prices down.

The money going to the wealthy through capitalist exploitation is mostly removed from circulation, see the marginal propensity to consume. It ends up in the stock market, or bonds or such. Taking money out of circulation is deflationary and makes the rest of the money more valuable; fewer dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services means lower prices and more purchasing power.
If you're trying to find faults with a claim, then using one of those extremes seems completely appropriate. They will be the only ones motivated to do so.
