Well, of course, the Return Address Stack (RAS) predictor maintains its own call stack and you need to understand how it works. However, there's a subtler way to break it: recurse too deeply. The RAS only has a fixed, small, and implementation dependent length. If you use deep recursion with non-trivial control flow (in particular multiple call sites), then the RAS will starting missing once you return from beyond that limit.

Another consequence of the RAS is that co-routines switching is more expensive than they might appear at first. RISC-V has encoding hints to mark call(jal)/returns that are actually co-routine switching but the full cost can't be avoided.

I listen to hours of podcasts each day (dog-walking, walking, running etc) and am fully immersed in the Apple ecosystem, but the Apple Podcast app is a turkey. Shallow feature set, bugs that never get fixed and an environment that doesn't evolve. It's software that can only be developed by a company that hates its user base. Ugh. I've been using and loving iCatcher for years [1].

> You could sign up to allow Apple to host your show and its audio (for a cool $20/year). In exchange, you could charge a subscription fee to your listeners... If you host your show with Apple, the only listeners you can have are folks with the Apple Podcasts app... The audio will be protected with DRM.

The author presents this as "audacity" and bad... but doesn't it make perfect sense? If you're charging a subscription fee then it makes sense that the podcast lives in a walled DRM'ed garden. Also, if Apple is hosting it for nearly free ($20/year is nothing), why would you expect Apple to make it available to competing podcast apps? If you post something on TikTok it doesn't show up on people's Facebook feeds.

Apple isn't taking away self-hosted RSS podcast feeds. It's presenting a separate paid subscription experience within its Podcasts app. No "audacity" about it. If you don't want that as a creator, don't use it.
My name is Patrick Bateman.
I'm 27 years old.

I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine.

In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches.

I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the icepack, I use a deep-pore cleanser lotion.
In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser.
Then a honey-almond bodyscrub.
And on the face, an exfoliating gel-scrub.
Then I apply an herb mint facial masque,
which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.
I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol,
because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older.
Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
I believe WA state already has this.
Looks great, but I ran into an issue I'm hoping you can help with. I copy/pasted the very first example from the blog and it doesn't compile. I also have been unable to find the documentation necessary to get past the problem.

It's the example that reads the files in a dir and makes an Excel table, and it fails on line 16, which reads `(excel.Selection as Range).WriteTable(files, "myNewTable");`.

The error is `Argument 2: cannot convert from 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<<anonymous type: string File, long Size>>' to 'QueryStorm.Data.ITabular' | `

I can't find docs for WriteTable() [even after finding those gitlab repos that contain QueryStorm docs].

I think anyone trying to run with this, will need access to docs on the API.
It's becoming less and less common, even for desktop applications - which is why I thought this warranted some congratulations
You mean System 1.0? The designers of Mac OS X did have access to the power of a G3 and millions of colors :-)

It's a very interesting question, and honestly, I don't know how good it would have looked. I know what a lot of websites (including Apple's) looked like when designers had access to full color, bevels, drop shadows, etc. They looked terrible. I think those technological limitations—no color, almost no RAM, no hard disk—are one reason the original Mac GUI looked as good as it did. There just wasn't room for anything else.

That said, the primary reason why the first Mac OS was so tasteful was because Susan Kare is an excellent designer, and would probably not have made the mistakes I described above. (The Lisa had all those limitations too, and an extremely similar feature set, but if you compare the Lisa GUI to the Mac's, it looks a lot rougher and more inelegant. Kare was not involved with the Lisa, and it shows.)

So who knows. I'd love to see someone reimagine the original Mac OS using a more contemporary design language; would be an interesting experiment.

(Also, if you meant Bruce Horne, he was a software engineer; he wasn't involved with the visual design as far as I know.)
I like doing this with scientific papers, so I have a conversation about it.

perhaps make max executive pay+benefits proportional to the lowest full-time salary+benefits with a maximum ratio? The spirit of such legislation would be that executives should then seek to increase salaries of their workers in order to then increase their own.

Total lies: the current bankruptcy CEO says that balance sheet accounts for hundreds of millions in a company called LedgerX (IIRC, out of memory) which FTX.us acquired with... Money fraudulently siphoned from investors and customers.

So the money used to buy LedgerX (and which LedgerX still partially has) should at some point be seized.

FTX.us is insolvent too.
I'm on hold with lastpass enterprise support as I type because upon reviewing our account we found a super-admin that is 'blank', no text appears but it has been granted policy access to all shared folders.

Tipping is a scam business owners pull to underpay their workers at the direct expense of only the customers who aren't assholes. As a system, tipping fucking sucks and is unfair.

But please remember that the service worker you are considering tipping or not is not the one who put you in this situation and they are also getting a much worse deal out of it than you are. Not tipping will not matter at all to the person who controls the payroll but will matter to the person who relies on the tip as an important part of their income.

If you hate tipping, agitate for living pages. Don't just tut-tut at wait staff.

Honestly, having spent half of my career at small companies and occasionally screening resumes... I'd say this is great advice for joining a small company.

More importantly, if you're directly applying to a role, or you're applying through a recruiter, it's useful advice.

I generally follow these practices, too, and I'm quite happy where I've landed.
I spent large parts of my life with System 7/8/9, but looking back on it now, you'd have thought Apple would have designed a better italics...
Thanks! We might build a code step or something similar to write a basic JS function to have a custom action/trigger but not sure when it will happen because our main focus is to allow our users to build automation without writing any code at the moment.
When I make rclone releases I usually spend an hour or two taking the git log, removing irrelevant stuff and rewriting messages to make them make sense from a users point of view.

I then take that and try to pick the top 3 or so items for use in the summary.

I then rewrite the summary condensing into a tweet.

It's a lot of work!

Massive? Head count is back to like it was on 2021, for all of the major tech companies.
I can't say I've noticed a real change in food but it's a small sample size as I don't eat out on a very regular basis.

In terms of the percentage people who dine in or get out at least sometimes numbers seem to be pretty much back to pre-pandemic levels.
Of course, death.
Rust does the same thing as C++ here. Note that rustc is pretty aggressive about using the LLVM lifetime intrinsics to allow for stack coloring (i.e. reuse of stack slots as necessary).
Perhaps enabling them to censor the feed is one of the primary reasons for the acquisition. I can't imagine it was that expensive, considering the likes of whom might take issue with the data being public.
I'm surprised they wasted the time and effort to test this instead of just deducing the outcome. Most human jobs that we think we can solve with AI actually require AGI and there is no way around that.
Oh yeah im not surprised to hear that, Ive just known one or two people who've been in similar sized companies as analysts, and while the underlying table structure was a nightmare, the data model they dealt with was pretty clean.

But with that in mind, thats because theres a major pipeline of people and processes to get the data to that point, and it meant that there could sometimes be significant delay on new KPI's as they had to be cleanly worked into the model, and it of course didn't represent everything.
Managing lead-acid sensibly in my experience means never letting levels go below 40%. Temperature too I suppose.

I didn't know they could last as long as LiFePo though. Is this really true?

If this is true, why don't we just use more lead-acid batteries then?
Interestingly, the basics of concealment in battle are shape, shine, shadow, silhouette, spacing, surface, and speed (or lack thereof) are all the same techniques the marines used to fool the AI.

The boxes and tree changed the silhouette and the somersaults changed the speed of movement.

So I guess we've been training soldiers to defeat Skynet all along.
Attack surface will increase regardless of implementation. It is another point that can be attacked, one that did not exist before.

I kind of wish most TOTP implementations (apps and/or desktop software) would support exporting all of the current data in an encrypted file format, a bit like KeePass has .kdbx databases with your passwords and other information.

To me, that feels like the missing piece in my mostly-offline way of managing credentials and backing them up - I could throw the KeePass database and this TOTP database (presumably both protected by passwords) in a VeraCrypt container (also encrypted) or something similar, put that on an SD card and then store it somewhere in case of hardware failures or other factors like that.

Personally I think that TOTP is great and while there are plugins for KeePass for example, most people will opt for using various apps which don't always let you fully be in control of your files. As for cloud options - they are easy to use, of course, but personally that feels like a major risk, which the LastPass breach somewhat confirmed.
A signed append only log, distributed with webtorrent would provide provenance and distribution. This would allow for not having to have dedicated infrastructure for collection.

One could also use USENET and get rid of the garbage will killfiles.
Good question. I have no idea. (That's why I said "or something" above, eh?) I know almost nothing about unions, and I don't work for large corporations.

(FWIW, I mostly worked for startups, but I did try the corporate thing for a couple of years, mostly for the experience. What I decided was that corporations are not bad, in fact I'd say they are mostly a huge improvement over previous forms of large-scale human organization, but they're not for me. This isn't a judgment thing, it's a matter of personal taste.)

edit to add: I started a non-profit mutual benefit corporation a couple of months ago to pursue a simple tech stack w/o the overhead (pun intended) of being a for-profit startup. It's way too soon to say whether it will work or not, but at least I'm living my values. :)
How to create animated UI editors for landing pages?
I've come across these cool animated code editor UI components on many companies landing pages.

See for example https://stripe.com/

How are these created? Are there any tools that allow these to be animated components to be created?

Thanks in advance
> on the basis of mountains of backbreaking and incredibly impactful work

I can spot (maybe unintentional) ambiguity from a mile away. Whose backs were broken, and who did the work.
I have an Argentinian friend. Brilliant guy with a lovely family. He has a senior level big tech job. Vacations around the world with his family. Drives fancy cars. Currently building a beautiful new home.

He is also fair skinned, blonde and blue eyed - as is his family. He objectively looks "white". Why does it matter? Because in the current DEI world, he and his children can mark "Hispanic" or "Latino" on all forms (I may be wrong here on whether it is both).

His children will therefore benefit from many advantages granted by DEI benefactors. Lost in this crazy DEI calculus is that this is a wealthy family.

This service doesn't give podcast hosts a way to retrieve their own material. It doesn't inform them that they'll be completely locked into Apple's service. If creators were aware of this upfront, then sure, I'd say "just don't use it" too.
Ask HN: Pre-Seed Startup, where should we post job openings?
What sites have you found where job-searchers self-select to be employees at an early stage startups? Have you found that early employees at a startup tend to have significantly different motivations than a typical SMB / established company employee? How can we optimize our process to find these people?
See, this is a fair criticism, and founded.

Note also how similar it is to FTX - it's bad actors pretending to champion principles they are actually working against, whether unwittingly or otherwise.

The part I would disagree on, is where you yourself seem to be uncertain, with a contradictory stance of labelling "bad" actors as "good".
> If you do put a "skills cloud" on it, be ready to talk about them all.

Go a step further.

Only put items in your “skills” cloud that WANT to be asked about and can deep dive. These skills should be things you hope the interviewer will ask you about.

If you can spend the whole interview talking about points in your skills cloud then it should be a slam dunk.

Hello-world.rs: Memory safe, fast, configurable hello-world written in Rust
I know, I googled it. I just hate articles with an acronym in the title without bothering to explain what this damn acronym stands for.
I think that the days where hand tuned assembly language outperform compiler generated code are largely behind us (let loose the contrary anecdotes).

Compilers and microprocessors are way more complex than they were back in the 80s or 90s, and compiler engineers know way more about how instructions are actually executed than the vast majority of programmers.
Our work switched from Slack to Teams after an acquisition, and I can confidently say that Teams is just complete garbage compared to Slack.

- The interface is laggy

- Scrolling back in long messages is buggy, it often skips around and loses its place

- No built in "whiteboarding" tools in screen sharing

- Teams will often keep ringing on my phone for up to a minute after I picked up a call on my laptop

- Sometimes I can't click reactions on messages. I click the emoji and nothing happens

Overall, it's just poorly made software. It feels like something that was made by a couple of interns in their spare time, not a keystone product from a multi-billion dollar company
Do you not know what DEI initiatives at large companies are and what they do? And did you know that there is a case in front of the Supreme Court where it was proven that Asians were disadvantaged in admissions due to their race because Harvard wanted to increase their percentage of black and Hispanic students?

So yes, there is an advantage when a company or a school specifically sets out to bring you in because you have the right skin color.

As far as racial discrimination in society (institutional racial preferences), my take on it is that race should never be used as a factor in hiring, sentencing, admissions etc. Individual racism is what it is. If I walk down the street and someone calls me a cracker or says they hate white people or whatever, that sucks and is unfortunate but ultimately you can't do anything about it because people will think how they think. It's the institutionalized racial preferences that do the most harm, and those need to change.

> I’ve literally had someone whose job it was to read resumes for their company straight up admit to me that they throw resumes with black-sounding names straight into the trash.

Oh yeah? Which company? That's highly illegal so I'm assuming you informed the boss and filed a complaint with the EEOC right?
It's worth distinguishing between two completely different types of "servos": RC hobby servos, and industrial-type servos which are robustly built like steppers but significantly more fast, accurate, efficient, and powerful. They are hard to find in Nema 14/17 sizes but not impossible.

RC servos typically have an analog or PWM signal interface. That would usually not be accurate enough for an industrial servo in positioning mode. Industrial servos, like steppers, have a digital interface which might be a serial format or STEP/DIR pulse train. Some drives will accept a -10V to +10V analog signal for velocity or torque control mode.

Anyway, here are some Nema 14/17-sized industrial servos with online pricing, which might be what you're looking for?

https://en.nanotec.com/products/2262-smart-servos-motors-wit...

Sadly it seems to be the case. I'm at -4 karma at this point for my comment above. This forum has literally become a Gen X version Reddit.

You cannot generalize every commodity and every 'poor country' like that. There are cars in Colombia that are less expensive in Colombia, and some that are more expensive in Colombia, than the U.S.

Similarly, I was shocked to find that scotch whiskey is actually cheaper in Colombia than the US, and it's the same product. The market is more competitive because discount liquor (especially rum) is decently good quality and reaaally cheap. It's also hard to sell someone a bottle that is half their monthly salary!

Of course, this doesn't hold for anything (and I frankly have no idea how supply chains work), but my point is that it's not as simple as made out above.
"Fucking over others for personal gain" is actually not a "base element of human nature"! Plenty of other cultures are more altruistic, more about raising everyone up.
How interesting. The first two assertions would imply that you model candidate fit as a pure product of the dimensions you have. i.e. if any of the dimensions are absent then the candidate isn't a fit.

Well, the difference is that my candidate fit model is not a pure product. It has some sums in it. Your teammates at my org will be people like that.
I'm in a DAN A4 (still using 1080 FE), but it seems like 40XX generation cards will never fit. Cards got so big they're almost the same size as the whole case!
To be fair, stock price for large profitable big companies has almost nothing to do with investment money. When someone buys a stock, the company doesn't see any of that money.

The real driver is shareholder returns. The shareholders would rather make more money than provide more jobs / run a charity.

Maybe you were saying the same thing, but the companies don't see the new investor money, other investors /owners do

Of course I do but I watch stuff with my fiance, the idea of putting an exercise bike in the living room with her would likely not go down well.

Likewise, in 10 minutes you can watch some short youtube video. The point is not that you can sweeten the deal of the 45 minute work-out to make it more bearable, the point is that when faced with 10 minutes of exercise vs 45 minutes of exercise, 10 minutes is a much easier pill to swallow _and_ is infinitely better than 0 minutes.

Yes. An NaN in IEEE754 has all 1’s in the exponent, and then the high bit of the mantissa determines whether it’s quiet or signalling, but then rest of the mantissa is/can be a “payload”.
He's the CEO,he's there at the wishes of the board who in turn are accountable to shareholders. The metrics he's judged by unfortunately are not long term but rather quarterly reporting, as long as these numbers look good and the share price reflects it, they'll keep him there. This year we've obviously seen a decline from the frothy peaks and this mass layoff is likely the consequencenof that.
It's a common occurrence in that share price growth is conflated with CEO performance when in fact the general market is responsible for it.
