I see almost every other person vaping now, instead of smoking. Hell I'd see people vape in the office lol and its both men and women doing it.

Maybe in 50 years people will realize hey that was terrible for our health! They will stop doing that, and replace it with some new vice :)

Ahh the human condition.
This seems like one more problem of policing individual behavior instead of solving the infrastructure problem, by say, having the Post Office run a free bank for the under-banked [1].

If your first two statements are correct I can't see how the third can't be.

If we choose our password from only ~24 chars then you can get the same effect of 100K iterations form just 4 more characters, or ~1 more dictionary word.

That doesn't seem excessive

Good answer. I'll also point out that RAM was expensive in the olden days, so you wanted your instructions to be as dense as possible. It made sense to have one instruction do as much as possible. It also made sense to have instruction lengths ranging from 1 byte to 4 bytes or more like the 8086, even though that made decoding complicated.

Also, for the original question, you really don't want to program in microcode directly, as it's kind of a mess. Micro-instructions expose a lot of ugly hardware details. Moreover, it locks you into a fixed architecture and you can't upgrade, because the microcode will change.

Unless you're on the Equifax blacklist. Journalists who wrote anti-equifax articles tend to find their way there, as do ex-girlfriends of upper management. And conversely women who do NSA hookups with a VP or above tend to find their way onto a whitelist that boosts your credit score by 150 or so - it's considered an unwritten perk of the job.

(The above is purely speculation, I have no idea whether any of it is actually true, but honestly, why wouldn't it be?)

Sure, don't abolish tips, just make it not the norm. Or rather return the custom to fine dining. We're all just upset that we're being asked for tips at places like McDonalds or takeout. That's just a push back to feudalism
Decoy Effect in Marketing
Apple does support Wine on modern macOS, with specific segmentation support to run 32-bit apps in that environment.
My argument is that I’m already paying $48.25 per check and don’t particularly care about the restaurant’s cost structure.

Passing wages (and in SF health care) onto me feels about as petty as an attorney adding “$5 for pens” into a $4000 invoice. I’m still sore about that 3 years later.
Yes, the effect of a tipped minimum wage is that until you make it up to minimum wage in tips, the tip makes no difference in your take home pay. It only makes a difference after that, and if it can be sustained on average over all hours worked.
Drivers will avoid these as they interpret it “I’m going to stiff you”
Most startups don't have the time or bandwidth to support entry level jobs. They need to get stuff done and done fast. You'd be better off finding a larger org (or "startup" that is in the scaling phase, high 100s or 1000s of employees), where you can get good mentorship. ymmv

Ah yes, there are many bargains to be had on Amazon if you just read the reviews in depth. Like you mentioned, a lot of bad reviews because the manual is confusing, etc even though the product is great!
I suspect smoking was banned in the lifts but, much like the ashtrays that still exist in airplane bathrooms, it is better that one exists for rule breakers than a fire is started because someone decides to drop the butt on the carpet and stamp it out.
Smoke in bars could be so thick it would sting your eyes and your clothes would reek after you left.
In an American retail or grocery store is my business transaction between me, the store and the cashier?

What's the difference between a server and a cashier? One walks between point a and b instead of standing in place? How much should I tip a cashier; 20% of the cost of my groceries?
Not the OP, but some schools of buddhism, e.g. gelungs, describe two types of meditation: static and dynamic (my own terminology). The static one is sitting still and sharpening your focus. The end goal is the state when your mind naturally snaps into this fully attentive state - samadhi. But that's a weak result, and dynamic meditation is ability to retain this state no matter what you're doing or even thinking. That's vipassana. There are decent books about the history of buddhism and dzogchen that explain this better.
I don't think I've ever tipped at a fast food restaurant; even the fancy ones.

No, grocery stores aren't restaurants. The difference is restaurants elect to establish different terms.
You can't just leave the space unprovisioned in general. It's a crapshoot weather the drive will automatically over-provision using the unprovisioned space. I've never personally seen one that does this. With samsung, crucial, and other major brands you need to use their proprietary tools to change the over-provisioning percentage (before doing any formatting/creating partition table).

So, to anyone else trying this, make sure to do it before you create the partition table.
And video games and porn.
> Also, some customers seem to think that the screen froze at the very end because it didn't ask for a tip.

Haha, I think that's totally reasonable of them. As a consumer I would appreciate a notification informing me that I couldn't tip, no matter how much I thought they deserved it.

Edit: I wanted to add that there are a lot of places we're not expected to tip at whose employees deserve it just as much as the ones working at the places we are expected to tip at. Tipping culture may be out of control, but a lot of times people deserve a tip for providing exceptional service. That's our way of validating them and saying, "you're going to make it."
FB messenger is largely used in US. In non-US countries everyone uses Whatsapp.

If they drop whatsapp to combine both of them, it will have quite serious effects and completely ruin the whole 'thing'.
>But in this context as an analogy it's seeing a poor starving man eating a rat to survive. You basically want to take the rat away from him and shout "don't eat that! 'Someone' should give him a chicken!"
>Unless you immediately offer to be that 'someone' personally you're not fighting for his good. You want him to die.

Let's analyze your argument shall we, with some historical context - first let's make the man poor, force him to starve through colonial theft from his family, then refuse to pay him to right the historical theft (oh no, it would reduce our standard of living, we can't have that!), then oppress a local group (like women or minorities) and when they ask to be paid a fair amount (equal pay for equal work), tell them - do you want to take the rat from the starving man??? Funny how it's always one group of oppressed people that must make sacrifices for other groups of oppressed people, never people like kuboble or ninjagoo.... noooo our standard of living mustn't be affected, we can't have our taxes going up.

>Unless you immediately offer to be that 'someone' personally you're not fighting for his good. You want him to die.

Did you offer to be that someone? Or is that all on me? You're happy to let the starving man go ahead and eat the rat as long as you don't have to do anything?
I disagree, I prefer the service in EU - I like the bare minimum. I hate in the US when they take your order as soon as you arrive, they check every 5 minutes if you're OK then whip away your plates as soon as you finish the last mouthful.
And less resilient.

If your notebook is destroyed (e.g. dog eats it, fire, water damage, et al) then all your passwords are gone. With most good password managers you can actually backup and store a copy of your vault data locally.
I don't think anybody skipped "notify the police". He mentiones police was informed multiple times about incidents with a car.

They just didn't bother to do anything until the guy was served to them on a silver platter.

Even after police was given plates of the guy (seen on two consecutive days) they said, you must be wrong, car's from Yorkshire, as if the main feature of the cars wasn't that they can move from Yorkshire to wherever.
My advice: have a maturity standard for services. Ensure they meet a certain standard before they are handed off to the SRE team. Until the service meets maturity standards to qualify for full SRE support, the team that engineered the service is frontline support. If the service maturity regresses, primary support reverts.

Here is our yardstick:
https://gitlab.com/dreamer-labs/tsc/service-maturity-model

This shares the burden of the interrupt work. It's still interrupt work, and it still slows down someone's velocity, but because it punishes the service designers for their poor design decisions, those get better over time and the overall quantity of bugs goes down, not up.
Vaping is almost harmless compared to how many diseases smoking tobacco causes and how much it makes a person stink and how much it makes buildings stink and how the tar builds up on walls.
I've listened to the politics podcast for a number of years and follow the site moderately closely during election season, yet I don't feel like I'm a "fan". To steal the words of Steve Jobs, fivethirtyeight.com is a feature, not a product. There is only so much you can say about polls and data-based political analysis and for me it's not enough for a daily, or even weekly, visit to the site. Likewise the podcast tends to get repetitive—there is only so many times you can say "time will tell" before it begins to feel repetitive.
So I used to smoke, and also smoked cannabis when I was younger. One thing that fascinates me is the new-found legality of pot in the US, and in particular some of the paraphernalia that's come along with it.
I see that Seth Rogan has a company which sells really nicely designed ashtrays and things, and I find it kind of "nice" that companies are still designing and selling things like this, even though they seem like a relic of the past now.
Princeton's COS 226 covered this topic quite well when I took it. It was a good intro to both algorithms and DS content, as well as practical skills for leetcode style questions.

You can check out the Syllabus for the course as taught at Princeton here[0], or take the Algorithms I and II courses on Coursera[1] which cover ~2/3 of the content but have video lectures.

Today I ordered a physical item from an online store.

The checkout page asked if I wanted to tip the employees, with buttons for preset percentages, and an option to enter a custom amount.

I considered aborting my order.
TLS callbacks are a relatively common trick used by packers/obfuscators. AFAIK, the only other code that can get executed before the main entrypoint of the PE would be the entrypoints ("DllMain") of its imported DLLs.
I'm always put off by a server hearing my American accent and insisting / guilt-tripping that I add a tip, thinking I'm a tourist in Sydney...

Yes I do tip sometimes, but only if the service has been fun / great. So off-putting when a place tries to squeeze a tip if they think you don't live here.
I'm a small scale collector of historic and antique maps with a collection of about 20 maps. The earliest map I own is from the 17th century which I treasure because it shows California as an island. Most of them are of the United States, primarily the west. I find just looking at these maps immensely satisfying in a way digital maps can never be. I consider them works of art.

Agreed the inequality is a problem. However making people who serve wealthy people the highest paid is a bad solution.
The Perfect Mark (2006)
I'm not advocating for the abolishment of tipping (I explicitly stated this btw), but I am against its expansion and an economic system where bribery is required for an employee to take home a living wage. If we had a social standard where everyone was making at least a living wage then I have no problems with you wanting to depart with extra cash. No one here is really advocating for making tipping illegal, we just don't think it should be used to supplement income.
I never made that connection, but I think you're right. Had I been earning double I probably would have adjusted to a non-graduate-student lifestyle and been reluctant to return.
> How the fuck does ext4 [...] still have problems with this?

I'm increasingly realising that most of the code out there isn't tested anywhere near as well as we think it is. Most programmers stop when the feature works, not when the feature is bulletproof.

I've been writing a database storage engine recently. It should be well behaved even in the event of sudden power loss. I'm doing "the obvious thing" to test it - and making a fake, in-memory filesystem which is configured to randomly fail sometimes when write/fsync commands are issued (leaving a spec-compliant mess).

I can't be the first person to try this, but it feels like I'm walking over virgin ground. I can't find a clear definition of what guarantees modern block devices provide, either directly or via linux syscalls. And I can't find any rust crates for doing this programatically. And googling it, it looks like many large "professional" databases misunderstood all this and used fsync wrong until recently. Its like there's a tiny corner of software that works reliably. And then everything else - which breaks utterly when the clock is set to 2038 because there aren't any tests and nobody tried it.

I half remember a quote from Carmack after he ran some new analysis tools on the old quake source code. He said that realising how many bugs there are in modern software, he's amazed that computers boot at all.
I think tipping waiters in restaurants, at the end of a meal is fine.

It's the request for a tip at practically every cafe or donut shop, where a person is simply pouring drip coffee or placing an item in a bag, for to-go/carry out, which gets to me. Or the expectation to tip for a re-fill of a coffee mug, at a cafe. It's not service-- it's dispensing a product.

I am starting to wonder how much baristas make, for example, if it's $10-$15 per hour, plus 15 customers per hour (x$1-$2 tip each)... that's potentially $50-60k+ per year. Which is more than many teachers and healthcare workers make-- people with degrees, training, and who provide a skilled, emotionally-involved service.
I've started leaving bad reviews for restaurants who a semi-agressive on asking for tips. Its becoming the worst part of the experience.
This annoys me too. I've submitted map feedback (holding and tapping 'Report a problem' on the map) before but who knows if that could make much of a difference. I assumed the route numbers are more of an American thing (although your comment seems to imply perhaps not)? We have them here but nobody I know here in Australia uses them or knows them, apart from major motorways. Maybe the other routes are used by truckers? Normal drivers though I would think only care about the street names.

It frustrates me to no end how hard it can be to see the names of streets in Maps, it's one of the most important things!
I got asked for a tip at an automatic car wash, because the guy was there wouldn't let me put the card into it myself, he wanted to push the touch screen buttons. I looked at him and said no. I hate tips, they aren't tips any more, they are subsidized payroll. I almost never eat at sit down places any more. Pick up orders? No tip. I will tip for a pizza delivery though, it's the one time I feel like it's deserved due to the hell they go through, but it's the exception not the rule for me.
> If you show the full price with taxes upfront, that's an astonishing level of integrity.

It’s funny, what you see is what you pay doesn’t require an astonishing level of integrity in much (most?) of the world, it’s just standard practice; instead, tacking on hidden fees not on the price tag would be unthinkable.
Agreed and I think people underestimate the amount of metadata the WhatsApp servers see. It includes:

- all numbers in every user's contact list

- the membership of every group

- the sender and recipient of every message

- when every message was sent, received, and viewed or played

- the dates and times that every user has been present

- the type of every message sent (text, sticker, video, voice recording, poll, etc.)

- the size of every message sent (to the nearest 16 bytes)

- the date, time and duration of all calls made between users

And probably other metadata too. Basically everything except for the message content.

The client also uploads crash dumps (along with a copy of the log output), and periodically sends usage statistics too.
The forever dictator/billionaire trope is rather naïve as I think that societal changes related to technological improvements are extremely difficult to predict, and in this case they could be more profound that what some sci-fi authors imagined.

Dictators are only a problem because the population let them take power.
They could not do anything or even stay in power without population consent, especially the aristocracy/priests caste of this particular society.

Dictators/Billionaires themselves are in practice only a very small part of our power distribution issues. (really the very visible but small tip of the proverbial iceberg)
Once I started playing around with different system clocks and understanding their design, I realized that there's a lot of opportunity with bugs when writing system software related to clocks. One interesting bug that I have made myself a few times is to get the current epoch time in seconds, add some duration and consider that new value to be a timeout expiration that you can safely compare to the current clock value. It may or may not be obvious that there's several things that can go wrong here and instead implementing your timeout as the expiration to some existing system call is almost always a better idea.
"beginning to"? This has been around since the early NT days, basically as long as DRM (and thus anti-DRM) has existed. Microsoft's reaction? Nothing but occasionally changing the syscall numbers.

It's true that you can run any industry with tipping, but that's not really saying anything interesting, because you also demonstrably can run industries without tipping. I like tipping for the power dynamic and because I'm "helping the working class"; I get the logic of it, and am fine playing along.
a line item veto makes sense in the case (as the name implies) of line items of a budget bill, deleting budgetary line items. It was initially intended to fight pork barrel politics.
If it were a question of learning...When you ask AI art programs for a sunset, AI does not produce a sunset, it pulls imagery from its data bank. It may manipulate it, filter it, add to it, but the image itself was created by somebody, whether by hand or by photography or software. AI is learning to pull imagery, manipulate and collage it, not create it. If the AI companies contented themselves with supplying there own imagery to manipulate I would not mind, but stealing from any artist that has ever had their art on a web page is really not ok. AI is not learning to paint or draw like 'so and so', AI is taking existing created imagery and regurgitating it. If you feel comfortable stealing from original content creators...
As another Australian, tipping and tax are the worst part of traveling to the US (other than maybe the toilets....). I don't really mind what the final price is, but I really would like to know it up front without having to do a bunch of calculations, which vary depending on which state I'm in.

The US faced a dilemma: Post civil war, many people didn't want to pay freed slaves for their labor.

A combination of tipping and converting jobs that were typically held by blacks to unpaid positions provided a solution. It became popular despite attempts to ban the practice.

Today, tipped workers in the US are paid, but have a lower minimum wage than normal workers.

FWIW: Because I abhor the practice, I always tip 20%. If service is sufficiently bad, I tip 20% and never come back.
