Yeah malloc is user space code, but it will do a syscall like sbrk to actually get memory from the kernel.

The default malloc in glibc does not pad the values given to sbrk, so you have to do a syscall for every 4k chunk of memory (the pagesize). So unless you do lots of very small (<<4k) allocations, you call sbrk pretty often.

You will also page fault when you access the new pages, and this traps into kernel code again.

So yeah, you are technically correct that some allocations may be fast because the memory is already available and mapped. Allocations, on average, are still slow because it involves context switches to the kernel (potentially multiple).

TLDR: you make it sound like a syscall within malloc is rare, but many/most allocations will trigger a syscall.
Could you explain how you did this? I'm curious what mine is sending.
I think the most common advice is to break your wanted tasks into smaller steps and just do the first small step. then do the next. If you feel yourself looking for an alternative focus, break the steps into smaller steps and do the first one.

One of the primary reasons to procrastinate is to do something perceived as more enjoyable or easier than some nebulous task -- by thinking of the tasks you need to do in these small almost trivial pieces it can make the trade off advantage for alternative timewasters seem less fruitful. Plus you get the reinforcement of completing those small chunks.

> You can own multiple pair of shoes, and even have one stay at the office, same for pants.

This hints at another counterpoint: it's not just yourself you have to protect from elements, but also whatever it is you want to transport with you. Like those extra shoes. Or electronics. Or groceries. Etc.

Waterproof bags probably exist, but I can't say I've seen them available, or used, by anyone at all.
I'm a bit mixed for analytics and privacy matters.

On one side, I prefer consent, limiting the amount of analytics made on me and I don't like giving my behavior for free.

On the other side, I work in a Tech startup and we need to know what users are doing / thinking. It is so important to iterate and grow quickly.

So it is the kind of stuff where I would like it to disappear, but at the same time I am a bit digging my grave.

Standard email marketing best practice is to use this to see if the recipient is opening emails. If the recipient doesn’t, the sender should auto unsubscribe the recipient. Blocking tracking pixels means that the “good” email marketers will keep emailing until a manual unsubscribe event happen.
A subscription model where you know the exact terms is less exploitative than a fixed cost where it’s not even clear if the upgrade is sticky or not (as is currently the case for Tesla.)

I don’t get the “it’s not a service” argument. It’s not relevant. There’s no ongoing cost with many software licenses either. It’s just a business model.
I take your point, but if the driver in front is a "big truck that cover the view," then that is all the more reason not to pull into the other lane! This is probably the most dangerous time to attempt this sort of merge.

>What if the driver is constantly breaking and accelerating?

I've found that there are two general strategies that work well in this situation.

- Simply increase distance and wait longer to catch up to the driver in front of you. This accounts for their bad driving.

- Modulate your speed using the car in front of the car in front of you. ie, focus on the 2nd car in front of you. They're likely driving with the flow of traffic properly and won't constantly be accelerating and braking. It might sound unintuitive to focus focus on a car other than the one in front of you, but this can actually be more safe: You've made enough space between yourself and the car in front you to avoid an accident, and you're better prepared for when the actual braking will occur.
Have you tried, or are you just speculating about me being delusional?

As I said in my comment, I actually do this, and surprised myself with how practical it is in all but the absolute worse weather (there are about 7 days per year where my bike won’t work, but generally that means that it is dangerous driving conditions as well). I live in rural Canada. I’m no stranger to riding in snow, rain and darkness.

I could equally say that it is delusional to allow minimally trained civilians access to multi ton vehicles with limited visibility, built in devices intended to distract powered by explosive liquids. But that system works as well.

Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts
Author here. This site lets you put in a username and get the users with the most similar writing style to that user. It confirmed several users who I suspected were alts and after informally asking around has identified abandoned accounts of people I know from many years ago. I made this site mostly to show how easy this is and how it can erode online privacy. If some guy with a little bit of Python, and $8 to rent a decent dedicated server for a day can make this, imagine what a company with millions of dollars and a couple dozen PhD linguists could do.

The primary sources, both chronicles, are cited in the article, reproduced in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (a series of edited Medieval texts, known for being carefully edited). There could be issues, of course, like the original authors of the chronicles making up the stories, but this isn't just a baseless Wikipedia hoax.

The Chronicle of Reinhardsbrunn, at least, does make specific mention that the nobles fell into a cesspit (cloaca) and died miserably by suffocating in the filth (sceno suffocati miserabiliter interierunt).
That smells like a good opportunity to set up a mock http server that implements enough of the Actions API to trick the runner into executing the job as if it was a push event

You shouldn’t be on roads that are heavily trafficked by fast moving vehicles with this kind of vehicle in the first place.

I own an electric Ranger (not Highway legal) for around my place and it fills a real need. There is no need for airbags or anything of the like on it. I didn’t even bother purchasing it with a windshield. The biggest threat to me in that vehicle is the dense vegetation and steep hills I often drive through.

I think there is an expectation around safety levels of different kinds of vehicles. If I buy a car that is capable of going 100mph, I expect it to have features that will help me survive a crash in those conditions. However, a motorcycle is a completely different kind of vehicle with different expectations. I don’t think a reasonable motorcyclist expects any thing remotely close in safety to that of a car despite also being able to reach the same conditions.

I honestly believe that the grandparent comment didn't have such intent in mind.

However, even though OP likely didnt have such intentions, I agree with your overall assessment of what would happen. If their proposal was implemented on scale, it would have naturally ended up in a situation that you are describing. And for that reason (+a lot of other unwanted second-order effects others have mentioned), I am definitely not into the idea of such zoning at all.
Why would a court of law have to be involved? This is a Congressional investigation. Nobody is being charged with a crime.

Ie, price inflation.
It will be nice when the cheaper cars are actually cheaper in a useful way. Here, a new Leaf is $45k vs a new Corolla is $25k. The breakeven time on that for my driving patterns is several multiples longer the life of a car. (Not even taking into account that my house would need thousands of dollars of work to be able to practically charge an EV.)
Almost 100% of fatal bicycle accidents involve a vehicle. In urban areas where cars are banned or unable to navigate, the cycling death rate is basically zero.

It's sort of like a market failure. It's in everyone's best interest to ride bicycles, but since we can't individually control what everyone else does, it's in our best interest to ride automobiles -- thus continuing the safety issue.
Well those types of campers are already in the US without freedom to roam so its not like the situation would change at all.
They certainly tried, and attracted the attention of the Department of Justice in the process. See the Microsoft antitrust trial.

Internet Explorer was a dominant browser for a while. It came bundled with Windows, and Gates thought they'd use it to embrace and extend the Web, like they'd done with everything up to then. Netscape's browser share quickly went to zero.

There were other browsers, though, and the end result of the legal actions was that MS had to allow you a choice. The Internet public was not as compliant with Gates' designs as the PC public had been, and "web standards" became something they had to live with, rather than being able to set them.
> Once they figure out how to animate this stuff, it puts the movie industry out of business.

I'm also intrigued about the potential of AI-generated animation.

However, I don't think the industry would be "out of business", but rather they would simply evolve into a new phase. The established movie industry will most likely have access to the most expensive and performant AI models to make short and long form animations, which would be time and cost prohibiting for hobbyists.
> If you need to install a whole host of mostly static dependencies, GitHub Actions support running steps in arbitrary Docker container. Prepare an image beforehand, it can be cached too, now you have a predictable environment. (The only downside is that it doesn’t work on macOS and Windows.)

Actually I use a similar workflow for some of the other projects that I have to work with, keeping everything CI agnostic. I incrementally add various types of dependencies to the container images where the application will be built.

For example:

1. common base image (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, or something like Alpine, or maybe RPM based ones)
2. previous + common tools (optional, if you want to include curl or other tools in the container for debugging or testing stuff quickly)
3. previous + project runtime (depending on tech stack, for example OpenJDK for Java projects)
4. previous + development tools (depending on the tech stack, typically for pulling in dependencies, like Maven, or npm, or whatever)
5. previous + project dependencies (if the project is large and the dependencies change rarely, you can install them once here and the changing 5% or so later)
6. previous + project build (including things like running tests, typically multi-stage with the build and tests, and built app handled separately)

Compared to the more "common" way to do things, step #5 probably jumps out the most here, I do a pass of installing all of the dependencies, say, every morning, or hourly in the background, so that later when the project is built the CI can just go: "Hmm, it seems like 95% of the things I need here are already present, I'll just pull the remaining packages (if any)." Clean installs only need to be done when packages are removed, which is also reasonably easy to do.

Though the benefits of this aren't quite as staggering, if you use a self-hosted package repository like Sonatype Nexus, which can cache any dependencies that you've used previously and make everything faster on the network I/O side. This only doesn't hold true when actually installing the packages takes up the majority of the time (e.g. compiling native code), in which case the above is still very useful.

So, an example of how the stages might look, is as follows:

Builder: Ubuntu + tools (optional) + OpenJDK + Maven + project dependencies + project build (and run tests)
Runner: Ubuntu + tools (optional) + OpenJDK + built project from last image (using COPY with --from, typically .jar file or app directory)

Of course, things are less comfortable when you don't have all of your app's dependencies packaged statically but need them "on the system" instead, like Python packages or Ruby Gems, but then your builder and runner will simply look more alike.

For my own personal stuff I also use a slightly simplified version of this, about which I wrote on my blog here, the drawbacks included: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/using-ubuntu-as-the-base-fo...

Good presentations generally don't do this.

Distributing handouts/printed slides is a symptom of a culture of bad presentations (bad as in a waste of everyone's time), just like paragraphs of text on a slide that the presenter reads verbatim.
It's a minor thing I know... but the man's name is Eugene Victor Debs and it's usually printed as "Eugene V. Debs". So the "V" stands for Victor and not "versus". The title makes it seem sorta like a lawsuit "Eugene vs. Debs".

Mycelial sheets are formed of filaments (hyphae) that have grown as a result of a spore / multiple spores growing, which are 'fruit phase' of the fungus.

The mycelial sheets are rendered 'inert' through one of an option of processes (for example baking it).

A clearer visualisation of the materials here: the mycelial sheets used in research / production are as to spores as a plank of apple tree wood is to apple seeds.

When you're working with the wood you do need to be cautious of the dust, but you don't need to be concerned about apple seeds sporadically appearing.

That's an interesting idea, and probably better then what I had imagined—that the arrow keys controls in what direction the tile that goes into the empty space moves. (The very fact that it's kind of hard to explain shows that your idea is probably better.)

Corner crossing seems like something that could be solved by saying "where two corners meet there must be an easement xx meters wide to allow the public to cross". I can't imagine any reason why the private landowner should be allowed to put up fencing and signs that block the corner.

In cases where the only way to access a parcel of public land is through private land then an easement should be created. If a road or trail can't be built for whatever reason then a sign with an arrow should be the rule.
They should remove children from the dataset instead imho. This title doesn't really make it clear what the real issue here is. I thought they were worried about violent images until I read the tweet.

Yeah, it's something I heard about someone checking before taking their kids to a movies. I think it's great, since the age rating doesn't tell you enough to be able to choose what your young children should be exposed to.
> I feel like a lot of the comments here are focused on HN

And I've been downvoted for it. Yes, it is not the problem. But why not accept the design could be healthier? aren't this what hackers do, design better systems? what is better that healthier?

HN is not helping alleviate this "mental-health" related issue because:

- The high throughput of "anything goes" (i.e. no categories) posts may push some to try and be always watchful to catch that "needle in the haystack"

- The very-short half-life of threads will draw people to want to always be on, to "hop on that fast discussions train" in time.

- That Karma system will trigger, for some hardcore users, an unconscious continuous urge to get more of it.

People with "issues" are very vulnerable to these kinds of "games". But it is not a binary thing : IMHO We are all to a variable degree affected.

There I said it.
