I played around a bit in godbolt: https://godbolt.org/z/vWPWcGM1P

It seems this is correct, but there are very quick cases where the compiler does not consider a program 'pure'. Even a simple call to 'puts' already is enough to be compiled. Probably because it has side-effects in setting a value for ferror(file) to return.

I wonder if we can find an example of a function that is externally observable to a user, but that is guaranteed to finish. Then specifically i wonder if the compiler can proof that the undefined behavior is guaranteed to happen so it elides the branch, proving 'real' timetravel. That is observable.

You actually might have two different problems.

One is language - do choose English as the lingua franca, and make sure the people you hire speak it well enough. To some extent, you need to hire people you can work with, and it starts with language. If you choose the local language, you just won't be able to hire.

The other one is much harder, and is culture. Basically, what might seem perfectly fine to a Dutch or a French, will sound exceedingly brutal or arrogant to a Brit, and this will lead to a neverending stream of misunderstandings, unless everyone's aware of it.

> What skills

Currently focusing on the cloud.

> Training frequency

Whatever I want to outside working hours (expensed), 10-15 percent of working time for long term training (over months), 100% of working time for short-term training (say a 5 day course).

> How is your next set of skills decided?

By me and my manager. Long and short term trainings need to be approved by manager, but I never heard of anyone getting denied for that.

> Is it personalized?

> Are you involved in the discussion?

Yes, I need to find and register for the courses myself.

> What are the biggest obstacles to your training?

Lack of time. For AWS - corp policies are very restrictive so it's easier to bankroll my own AWS account for training, rather than use company's accounts.

I think shell interactivity improved because everyone just decided xterm was the way to go, which itself was based on VT-102 with some later VT 200/300/400 bits and new inventions added on.

> An important note is that you CANNOT add extra disks to an existing VDEV.

Not true for mirror vdev, but you don’t get the added capacity. You may add vdevs later, however.

Also some good arguments are made for using mirror vdevs over RAID-Z [1]. The extra space afforded by a 1:3 RAIDZ compared to 1:2 mirror isn’t much. Given the performance gain over a mirror resilvering and reduced recovery time, I prefer mirroring.

I have such relationship with mathematics. I really like it and until certain point I was good at it. Then at the university I really struggled with all the abstraction. I did finish my degree in mathematics but with barely passable grades. Yeah I could have spent hours/days after it but that would take away lot of fun and then it just turned into passing exams. There were people who were quite good at it without putting too much effort. So that was kind of demoralizing when you are spending hours to understand something that others did in few hours.

I am not horrible at programming but don't care very much about it as long as I am able to solve problems at work. Interviewing/leetcoding is definitely something different.
>Projects should do exactly the opposite:

My current company does tons of training. The devs are trained in project management, team building, project leading.

Individual team members suggest trainings on a topic, and if enough people are interested they schedule a time and do it. We have book clubs, and regular developer discussion group. All of this is encouraged and on company time.

There are also more extensive multi day trainings and certifications I haven’t been part of.

We also have a monthly training stipend which accumulates.

> Have you considered maybe they hire based on qualifications only and not gender?

If you're only hiring from one specific gender, you're most likely not hiring based on qualifications, or the qualifications you're hiring on include gender.

This at least has been the case with most single-gender boards. Now if you can show that there really are not any qualified women available at all, of course you should hire another man for the job. But I think it's not unreasonable to expect companies to demonstrate that first, and not simply allow them to blindly use it as an excuse for gender discrimination.

> genders have different preferences in work and do not apply for some jobs (not just CEO, but also coal miners have even larger gender imbalance)

True, but there's no shortage of women complaining about a glass ceiling. The women are there for the CEO jobs. I don't see a lot of women complaining nobody will consider them for a coal mining job.

> some people do not want to make the insane effort to become a CEO. Men usually are the one sacrificing a lot for some goals (including life on the battlefields), women tend to be wiser and think if it is worth

This is all baseless assumption to justify gender discrimination. Women sacrifice plenty.

> Between safety on modern CPUs and supporting 40-years CPU I would choose the first.

I don't know what you mean with "modern", but x86 was first introduced in 1978, 1985 for 32-bit, and 2003 for 64-bit, for example.

There may be a water purifier somewhere running in a 1995 x86 box that still needs to be maintained.

> Safety is the requirement for desktop, mobile and server

There are several degrees of "safe", and I don't mean just "a hacker stole my data".

I am sure you hear about internet services crashing all the time. A failing service could be a safety issue too. And no, they are not written in C. There are entire companies living on providing redundancy and watchdog services. Often companies just go with "I don't care if the program crashes, we put another server up, just keep developing new features in whatever safe language we are using".

Strictly technical-minded people hate to hear this, because they want to think that becoming a good photographer means mastering the physical and measurable, wheres that just makes you someone who's good at shooting technically correct pictures, that's all.
By this measure, underexposed, blurry or grainy picture are never good photos. And yet, any great photographer understands perfectly that value of technical mistake as well.
>Again, you seem to fundamentally misunderstand how compilers work in this case. They largely don't "encounter" UB; It's optimization passes are coded with the assumption that UB can't happen

Which is as wrong as coding GCC to assume --hlep can't happen.

It will happen and you need to deal with it when it does, and there are reasonable and unreasonable ways of dealing with that.

If you don't understand my --hlep example how about:
Int mian () {

What should the compiler do there? Same rules apply should it reformat your hard drive or warn you that it can't find such a function? There are reasonable and unreasonable ways to deal with behaviour that hasn't been defined.

If I put in INT_MAX + 1 it isn't reasonable to reformat my hard drive. The compiler doesn't have carte blanche to do what it likes just because it's UD. It should be doing something reasonable. To me removing an overflow check isn't reasonable.

If you want to have a debate about what is reasonable we can have that debate but if you're going to say UB means anything tlcan happen then I'm just going to ask why it shouldn't reformat your hard drive.

‘Publishing is not a crime’: media groups urge US to drop Julian Assange charges

Two interesting paragraphs (to me at least):

«Analysis by left-leaning non-profit Media Matters suggested 50 of the top 100 advertisers — accounting for $750mn in advertising in 2022 — had paused or announced their intention to pause spending since Musk took the helm, and a further seven had reduced spending to a trickle. Those 50 advertisers accounted for $317mn of Twitter’s $5bn in revenues in 2021, Media Matters said.»

The top 100 accounted for less than 20%? Wow. The other key paragraphs is IMO this bit of culture shock:

«It is unclear if and when brands will return. “It’s hard to have criteria [for returning to the platform] when Musk manages by tweet and something changes on the platform every day that causes advertisers concern,” said an executive at another advertising agency.»
'Piracy killed the Dreamcast' is very commonly put around, and it was incredibly easy for a contemporary console (literally just burn a CDR, no hardware modifications required), but if you look at the attach rates [1] for the console, they are comparable to successful consoles. Pirated games still needed consoles to be played, so we would expect a much lower attach rate than normal if this was a primary factor.

Ultimately, it was almost everything else going against the console. [2]

> or they are just that much worse at flying under the radar.

At least some of Russia's operations are likely less covert and more "look what we can do". They're not _really_ trying to hide; if you're trying to produce political disruption, then "look, this political disruption was caused by semi-deniable foreign interference" makes for even more political disruption.

Remember Guccifer 2.0? That was a GRU operation, apparently unmasked because the GRU officer 'forgot' to use a VPN (thus leaving an IP address which literally belonged to the GRU in some logs). And, I mean, it's _possible_ that that's what really happened, but it seems far more likely that it was deliberate.

Nitpick: 'collimated' is a technical term for a beam of light where all the rays are exactly parallel. When using 'collimated' in the article, the author means 'focused' or 'narrow' - as in, the focused beam of light emanating from a spotlight, which spreads out slower than an omnidirectional light, but isn't strictly parallel.

You'd think that an article titled 'Photography for geeks' would take some care to get the technical terms right!
