Right; I could do it using nothing but standard C features in C source files, by defining some C compatible assembly language routines. The compare_swap primitive can be an external function, e.g.:

bool cmpswap64(uint64_t *location, uint64_t if_old, uint64_t then_new);

Code that relies on the header doesn't have to process anything compiler-specific. FFI could be used to bind to that function from non-C languages.
I honestly don’t know, but I’m guessing an expert 2022 3D game developer is around here somewhere. :)
richard lyons' textbook "understanding digital signal processing" has a nice treatment of spectral leakage issues and choice of window functions.

i think it may even discuss the integer multiple issue you speak of with nice illustrations of the "wrapping" effect.
The fees on these contracts, and the selection of the contracts, is such that you're essentially playing the "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller" game. That's a bit of a silly game to play when the risk free rate of return is 4%-5%.

Eg, to meaningfully hedge against tail risk of hurricanes I'd need to put in so much money that I might as well just buy some bonds with the principal and self-insure.
Yeah I suspect the “it all tastes the same” comes from people who never drink it.
Software development is the only field I can think of where the making of the tools of the trade is wholly encapsulated by the field itself. Maybe blacksmithing. In such an environment, it makes sense. We make our own tools, and for the most part the most powerful of those tools end up being given away for free. To other people who both use the tools, and have the capacity to improve them. Who then give them away for free.

It is not a coincidence that software development tooling is one of the only fields that has has been thoroughly eaten by open source. It's because the user-developer circle is complete. A mechanical engineer probably doesn't have the skillset to improve the CAD program they're running. A software developer probably has the skillset to improve VIM.
Safer languages can protect from some kinds of bad design. Some kinds of incoherent design become simply impossible to express. (For example, using a structured language with function calls instead of goto means a function always returns to the same place where it was called from, so a whole class of possible designs - most of which were just mistakes, but a few of which were efficient implementations - becomes impossible)

Most people don't vote. But I agree that downvoting can be an emotionally charged action - completely devoid of reason.

I tend enjoy downvotes that have no reason because they validate a touched nerve, but some will give a reason as to why they downvoted and open a dialogue. Thats a gold feature of HN I think.
Here's a good article on it: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/03/nasa-inspector-gener...
Wagner Vineyards in upstate NY has ice wine for $30/375ml, $27 (12+) and $24 if you join their club (cult?). Depending on the exchange rate, that can be about 20 Euros.
No one is asking for “perfect security”. We all agree with you, that is impossible. What many security professionals want from this product is a stable network transport tunnel with well-defined attack surface. We understand defense in depth, which is why we disable ssh authZ in tailscale, for example.

Now imagine you are an enterprise user of tailscale, you diligently elected not to trust it with login to your boxes, but you still got pwned because of “taildrop”, a feature no one on your team uses, wants, or knew was enabled.

Software vulnerabilities happen at a rate that highly correlates with size of attack surface. The attack surface here is pretty clearly too high (bad “defense in depth” as you say), and I hope they provide mechanisms in the future for disabling all this bloat, otherwise offerings like zerotier will eat their lunch.

I played EotB about 2 years ago for the first time and stubbornly did it the old fashioned way with groh paper.

Definitely recommend anyone trying it out to use The All-Seeing Eye to automap instead.
First, 300mm is not the real measure in practice for the common use case.
PTP is often used to distribute GPS time for things that need it but don't have direct satellite access, and also so you don't have to have direct satellite access everywhere.

For that use case, 1ns of inaccuracy is about 10ft all told (IE accounting for all the inaccuracy it generates).

It can be less these days, especially if not just literally using GPS (IE a phone with other forms of reckoning, using more than just GPS satellites, etc). You can get closer to the 1ns = 1ft type inaccuracy.

But if you are a cell tower trying to beamform or something, you really want to be within a few ns, and without PTP that requires direct satellite access or somet other sync mechanism.

Second,
I'm not sure what you mean by special. Expense is dictated mostly by holdover and not protocol. It is true some folks gouge heavily on PTP add-ons (orolia, i'm looking at you), but you can ignore them if you want.
Linux can do fine PTP over most commodity 10G cards because they have HW support for it. 1G cards are more hit or miss.

For dedicated devices:
Here's a reasonable grandmaster that will keep time to GPS(/etc) with a disciplined OCXO, and easily gets within 40ns of GPS and a much higher end reference clock i have.
https://timemachinescorp.com/product/gps-ntpptp-network-time...

It's usually within 10ns. 40ns is just the max error ever in the past 3 years.

Doing PTP, the machines stay within a few NS of this master.

If you need better, yes it can get a bit expensive, but honestly, there are really good OCXO out there now with very low phase noise that can more accurately stay disciplined against GPS.

Now, if you need real holdover for PTP (IE , yes you will probably have to go with rubidium, but even that is not as expensive as it was.

Also, higher end DOCXO have nearly the same performance these days, and are better in the presence of any temperature variation.

As for me, i was playing with synchronizing real-time motion of fast moving machines that are a few hundred feet apart for various reasons.
For this sort of application, 100us is a lot of lag.

I would agree this is a pretty uncommon use case, and I could have achieved it through other means, this was more playing around.

AFAIK, the main use of accurate time at this level is cell towers/etc, which have good reasons to want it.

I believe there are also some synchronization applications that have need of severe accuracy (synchronous sound wave generation/etc) but no direct access to satellite signal (IE underwater arrays).
The article quotes a paywalled article about perf changes and an investor letter. While the writing might be on the wall, this article is just gossip
"Let that sink in..."
> For most movies from the 80s and 90s it's not like you're going to notice a difference going to Blu Ray or UHD streaming.

Complete crock of shit. Movies from the 80s and 90s were usually shot on 35mm - DVD quality does not begin to extract the detail nor the dynamic range in these films.

It’s not a subtle difference.

And if bitstarving is an issue it’s usually going to be DVD. No amount of encoder magic can overcome MPEG-2 inherent shortcomings.
> But above $50 or so, you're no longer paying for higher quality, per se.

You can't walk into a grocery store and buy a tree-ripened banana no matter how much money you're willing to pay. This is sort of the proper way to think about high-end wines, as a vehicle that enables one to do something like this, but obviously with grapes.

Using OP25[1] with RTL-SDR[2] dongles to implement scanners for trunking P25 radio systems on a computer. And as a sidebar to that, listening in on geographically remote public safety radio systems using Broadcastify[3]. It's basically the old "radio scanner" culture, but taken online and distributed worldwide. People listen to all sorts of stuff, but given my background as a former firefighter and former 911 dispatcher, my main interest is listening to public safety dispatch stuff.

That said, another commenter below mentioned modern "phreaking" and how it's become more radio centric... and while I won't admit to doing anything illegal, let's just say that there's some interesting stuff you can do / look at / listen to these days, especially with ubiquitous and inexpensive SDR hardware and related resources. See the recent story[4] about the KrakenSDR[5] passive radar stuff, and some of the papers that are out there about P25 security flaws, some of the automobile hacking stuff that's RF based, etc., etc. There's a fascinating world out there buzzing around on invisible electromagnetic fields... and you can tap into it with a $30 dongle and a Raspberry Pi (or your PC).

One of my other interests is retro-computing. I bought an Atari 800 to mess with a while back, and I've been dorking around with some stuff related to building a Z80 based retrocomputer for a while. Sadly that latter project doesn't get many cycles of my attention these days but when I have a free minute here or there or need a distraction, it's something I can play around with.

And last, but not least, I do still enjoy spending a little (very little) bit of time on MUD's[6] and IF[7] games now and then. In terms of MUD's, my current favorite is Avatar[8], and in terms of IF games I've been picking at Battlestar[9] for a while now.

Mark Fisher's writing had a lot of impact on me as a young adult and my personal politics, as had a lot of the people that came out of the Warwick ecosystem, but I really think this particular piece has not aged well.

It seems bitter and in a way and anticipates a lot of the cultural grievances that are now being talked about all the time, so it's prescient if anything, but I think in reality he's just bitter that his focus on class and disregard for 'moralising' wasn't going anywhere.

He's way too harsh on the critics and way too generous to his friends, in particular what he's saying about Russel Brand here has aged horribly. Looking at the rabbit hole Brand is going down these days the criticism of him wasn't wrong.
Ok, but what exactly is there to salvage in a company who converted cash to magic beans?
A corollary to this is a restaurant selling the wine that they acquire for the lowest price at the mid tier price to maximize profit.

A diner choosing a wine will most likely eschew the lowest price option, and obviously the highest price option will be out of most people’s reach, but customers will “spring” for the mid priced option.
Elon seems to have no interest in building Twitter's ad business. I wonder if the lenders will have the courage to try to salvage their investment. At this point, what's left might still recover most of the debt, but even that likely gone in a year.

I've been into retro PCs lately, specifically from about 1995-2002. I started with a 200 MHz Pentium MMX gifted to me about a decade ago. Recently picked it back up and discovered there's a lot of fun to be had. For example, it was somewhat recently discovered that AMD K6-2+ CPUs are just one zero-ohm resistor move away from becoming K6-3+ CPUs with the full L2 cache unlocked.

I also am experimenting with Slot 1 boards. They were originally designed for Pentium IIs but with the right combination of VRM, BIOS support, slotket adapter, and CPU and pin change mod, some boards can run the last Pentium IIIs (Tualatin). It's a lot of fun and experimentation.

Rice paddies represent another important methane producer.

But 63% of methane production comes from Fossil fuel industry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_emissions#List_of_emis...

Food is a pillar of what defines humanity, thousand of years of culture, agriculture, traditions.

Is housing fake? Most people can tell a $100k house from a $700k house, but there are exceptions. For instance, viewers who are not experts in the San Francisco Bay Area region of housing often could not tell whether this house (https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Francisco/261-Minerva-St-94112...) or this house (https://www.redfin.com/TX/San-Antonio/4924-Appleseed-Ct-7823...) is the most expensive option.

Some commentators claim that certain housing experts have "preferences" (or "things they like"), but several studies that concealed the exteriors of housing from participants showed that university undergrads unblindfolded for fifteen seconds could not judge whether they were inside of a townhouse or a single family home!

TLDR - wine is not fake. Some people like different things and are willing to pay for it. Article is pretty fair but underemphasizes diversity of preferences. Don't buy expensive wine or an expensive house just because it has a fancy label unless you know it has some feature that you care about. If it does and you can afford it, then sure, go have fun.
There are about 150 good computer schools in the US producing 400 employable graduates on average in the tech industry, total of 60000 engineers. 60000+ H1Bs come every year. H1B is a necessity because the need is too high. H1B is not replacing US workers.

The engine was completely reverse-engineered for the C64 (after first gaining expertise by creating an iOS version), and the project seems to have been in progress in some form or another since 2006.

Based on the news I've read in Indie Retro News, it actually sounds like the art is completely done from scratch. (which makes some sense, given C64 graphics quirks/limitations). Though the exact art process hasn't been revealed, art duties were split amongst a few notable C64 pixel artists who have explicit credit for their contribution.

So, near as I can tell it's 100% reverse-engineered from scratch.

> I'm sure there are people that can identify different tastes. I question whether or not those tastes are a sign of objective quality, or just something they've been conditioned to think of as good.

I think my professor meant "objective" in the sense that someone with a trained palate will agree with others who have a trained palate. I.e., they're not just saying, "well this tastes good to me." Experts are generally consistent between each other about what tastes good and what tastes bad.

Of course this doesn't necessarily mean that these preferences are objective in a God-given sense. And from what I could tell it does seem that different subcommunities have their own preferences. Californian wine tasters seem to prefer bigger and bolder flavors than French wine tasters, who like subtler flavors.

The thing about champagne is it produced using the traditional method [1]. As long as other sparkling wines are also made using the same method, they can be quite good.
