Do C compilers for those platforms transparently implement this for your char pointers as GP suggests? I would expect that you would need to do it manually and that native C pointers would only address the same words as the machine itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-ion_battery

The sodium-ion battery (NIB or SIB) is a type of rechargeable battery that uses sodium ions (Na+) as its charge carriers. Its working principle and cell construction are almost identical with those of lithium-ion battery (LIB) types, but replace lithium with sodium.

You can buy a car with this battery type already:

It looks like Nio is going to use solid-state batteries from 2024 onward. That seems pretty tangible to me. BMW and Ford are said to be working on integrating batteries of this type, too. No miracles necessary.

They're agreeing with him that he is the infallible Dear Leader, pretty much. The Musk following, at this stage, is a full-blown personality cult; what Musk is actually saying/doing is rather beside the point.

> because nobody won't be able to afford new cars.

Wait, what? The price differential is not that significant, there are also cheap new EVs, and driving a 30 year old car with EU fuel prices and mandatory technical maintenance costs won't be a much more affordable option, and there are pollution laws like Paris which ensure that older, more polluting cars can't enter city centers. If new cars become more expensive, it's likely to cause some limited decline in usage, but saying "nobody won't be able to afford new cars" is useless hyperbole.
I'm enjoying the downvotes :)

The original game from 1988 was actually called 'Digger', not Boulder Dash (although it clearly draws inspiration from BD), and it was quite legendary in the East German computing scene, because it was one of few very well designed and polished games on the KC85/3.

Not woken up in terms of all of human history, certainly not. Woken up since the 80s? almost definitely. The difference now is the scale at which bias and intentional influence operate.

For the record I’d much rather everyone be taught to think critically as a baseline but that’s simply not happening and to not call out bias or intentional influence is to be a bystander (something I choose not to do).
I'm still patiently waiting for future digital mixing consoles to do all processing in software on inexpensive x86 or ARM processors. Currently due to latency and reliability requirements all DSP work is done on dedicated chips or FPGA which brings up the BOM and engineering cost. They often have a small ARM/Linux module which is used for the displays and network control.

The CPU tech is here today, and modern general purpose processors do a good job of handling low-latency audio. Someone just needs to put all that together in a unified and stable package...
Speed brings value. Loading dash without optimizing it carries a huge weight. Weight can slow down users. Users leave the cart before completing a purchase.

Lodash is engineered to deliver “perfection” and performance, to an absolute fault. Try `import {unary} from 'lodash'` and tell me how big the bundle gets. FYI unary should be `fn => x => fn(x)`.

On the other hand, copy-pasting actually-useful utilities like groupBy from some random site defeats the purpose of npm. Luckily there are sane Lodash alternatives like Just:

… yet somehow a district court found no reasonable claim of discrimination, and the appellate court upheld that finding.

Imho, this article is an example of how the NYT has gone off the rails with their agenda-based spin on reporting.

The article flat out says the following:

“Harvard said that the plaintiffs’ expert, Peter Arcidiacono, a Duke University economist, had mined the data to his advantage by taking out applicants who were favored because they were legacies, athletes, the children of staff and the like, including Asian-Americans.”

All of those can influence the personal rating positively.

This lawsuit is an attempt by anti-affirmative action people to end affirmative action. They are using Asians as a figurative cudgel to beat other minorities, and this saddens me.

Fwiw, I think affirmative action is not without flaws and could be improved (e.g., I struggle to see why Asians aren’t given affirmative action status at these universities similar to how Asians have this status with the federal government — there has been and still is oppression and discrimination against Asian Americans), but I think there are large swathes of the country that are still in favor of this policy.

I wouldn't do it now, for several reasons.

1. Mainstream news and other sources are talking about how the risk of myocarditis may have been underestimated; and that there is a potential risk of long-term damage in the months or years after vaccination.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/myocarditis-covid...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33594175

2. Pfizer, in particular, has been guilty of more fines than any other pharmaceutical company, setting the record for most fines in both quantity and size. Canada in 2010 lambasted them as a "habitual offender" in 2010, with the US assessing the largest health care fraud settlement in US history in 2009.

As for the other vaccines, the J&J shot was withdrawn due to risk of causing TTS or blood clots.

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavi...

Moderna meanwhile is in a big lawsuit versus Pfizer over the mRNA technology. The COVID-19 vaccine is Moderna's first and only commercialized vaccine. Note that Moderna was founded in 2010 on the mRNA premise, so to call them "new and inexperienced" in the vaccine field in comparison to Pfizer and J&J wouldn't be inaccurate.

https://hbr.org/2022/09/moderna-v-pfizer-what-the-patent-inf...

3. We know now from a study in Denmark that mRNA, rather than being localized to the site of injection as initially believed, may circulate in the blood for up to 28 days post vaccination - or longer, because the study did not continue after 28 days for subjects. This was very unexpected and the consequences, if any, are unknown.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/apm.13294

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34876961

4. We now know in a study from The Lancet that previous COVID-19 infection is actually just as good as vaccination, if not superior, at preventing re-infection. Meaning that, if you have already had COVID-19, vaccination may have very little benefit, and depending on the above circumstances, may be more risky than beneficial.

There. I don't need to cite Project Veritas, or argue about the quality of data in VAERS, to make a case that right now, caution is warranted.
On a similar level, from a purely linguistic point of view the initial instruction should be "read all the questions before answering any of them". Any pedant could have great fun arguing that reading a question before answering it for the set of all the questions did fulfil the brief of "read[ing] all the questions before answering them"...
I mean we went through the Steve Jobs era of product visionary and apparent asshole extraordinaire. I think the average EQ of startup founders is increasing and employees have far less tolerance for horrible bosses. So with more options comes more opportunity and the power of assholes in charge decreases.

It's worth noting that they are talking about a single Pure disk pack for one of their arrays. Their disk packs include NAND, a bunch of RAM, some NVRAM, and storage device controllers all in a hot-pluggable module. This isn't something you'd buy and install into a PC, it's a part number for a Pure array, presumably FlashArray//C ("C" being "capacity", which is Pure's line of capacity optimized AFAs).

It’s probably the right place to ask the question, but not the best way to put it.

Any single positive/negative comment you’d get from here has zero value for you for so many reasons.

how can you extrapolate from a few examples? How can anyone know for sure if any _long term_ side effect has anything to do with a specific vaccine?

Those are just a tip of an iceberg making the original question kinda pointless. With all due respect.
Lodash gets so many things wrong I’d rather not see it in most projects. I appreciate a good utility library for JS projects but my go-to choice has to be Ramda[1]. Every function it exports is curried and works great with pipe which enables me to write highly reusable and composable functions in pointfree notation. I have never been as productive with lodash, and I find the functional style easier to read

I never stated there was anything wrong about loving drama. I said I don't love drama.
I worked at a Kroger in high school and I learned this fact then. A lady was assembling a big display for s’mores supplies (Hershey’s, Reese’s, brand name marshmallows, and some graham crackers). They paid for a premium spot in the store right next to the checkout lanes since it was near Fourth of July and they wanted to maximize sales.

Even the placement on store shelves is paid for. The prime shelf space costs more than the bottom shelf, for example.
x86 is byte addressable, but internally, the x86 memory bus is word addressable. So an x86 CPU does the shift/mask process you're referring to internally. Which means it's actually slower to access (for example) a 32-bit value that is not aligned to a 4-byte boundary.

C/C++ compilers often by default add extra bytes if necessary to make sure everything's aligned. So if you have struct X { int a; char b; int c; char d; } and struct Y { int a; int b; char c; char d; } actually X takes up more memory than Y, because X needs 6 extra bytes to align the int fields to 32-bit boundaries (or 14 bytes to align to a 64-bit boundary) while Y only needs 2 bytes (or 6 bytes for 64-bit).

Meaning you can sometimes save significant amounts of memory in a C/C++ program by re-ordering struct fields [1].

M68k was byte addressable just fine. Early alpha had that issue though, as did later cray compilers. Alpha fixed it with BWX (byte word extension). Early cray compilers simply defined char as being 64bits, but later added support for the shift/mask/thick pointer scheme to pack 8 chars in a word.
> Ex. in Poland most doctors are hired in multiple hospitals at the same time.

Genuinely curious how does this work? Do they get paid per the number of hospitals who hired them? How do they go to work? How do they know what hospital to go to?

PS. My wife is a doctor, and I had to live through what I described. So, none of that is invented, it's just what I see happen to her and to her colleagues. To make this more concrete, she was an attending in emergency department and wanted to switch to radiology. In her case this resulted in the full 4 years of study on top of about half a year of just showing up in the hospital and tagging along with the radiology team. (This was in Israel, one of the central hospitals). One of her colleagues was a transfer from internal medicine (also an attending), and he was doing 3 years of study to get into radiology. Another was a Russian emigrant doctor with about 10 years of practice from a hospital in St. Petersburg. He was also doing a 3 year of residency.

They also had two people drop out of the residency just during the year my wife was there (before she gave it up), and that's out of a group of six residents. One was a Brazilian emigrant, who eventually decided to go back to Brazil and another one was a guy who was an Israeli, but received his degree in Romania, which was cheaper, I guess. He just couldn't pull it up, and eventually was let go from the program.

The Russian guy was also on the verge of leaving due to some bad blood between him and the head of the department. The head was actively trying to sabotage him and make him leave for god knows what reason. The Russian guy though, despite having some sort of a chronic illness was spending multiple days in a row w/o leaving the hospital.

I mean, back to my original point: I saw nothing that could come close in the programming world. And the fuss people here make about home exercises is just a sign of being way, way overly privileged compared to the majority of the workforce. By which I don't mean to say programmers should suffer like everyone else, rather everyone else has to get better conditions. It's just of all people, presently, programmer should probably show more comradery with other paid workers instead of complaining about their own issues.

Oh, this was really common in Soviet radio, military and especially aircraft and space industries.

1. Domains are guaranteed to be unique. We have global registrars and global DNS, its not possible to have duplicate domains..

2. Don't utilize a domain that is shared by lots of people. There is also lots of DNS tricks (TXT records) to "pin" a user to a domain or whatever. If the domain is shared (for example a company website), you just add a TXT record denoting what private key is allowed to do things. Heck you could setup fine grained permissions per key via txt records.

2. Yes they can expire and that situation is detectable. How is this any different than twitter or another service allowing re-use of a deleted username?
> you're essentially saying (or it is being interpreted this way by many) "Do the time, it worked for me!"

I’m not saying that. I’m saying doing the time isn’t equivalent to abuse. The facts and circumstances matter, e.g. who is doing it, how often it’s required, and what everyones’ stakes are.
floating point error. BCD guarantees you that 1/10th, 1/100th, 1/100th, etc (to some configurable level) will be perfectly accurate, without accumulating error during repeat calculations.

floating point cannot do that, its precision is based on powers of 2 (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and so on). For small values (in the range 0-1), there are _so many_ values represented that the powers of 2 map pretty tightly to the powers of 10. But as you repeat calculations, or get into larger values (say, in the range 1,000,000 - 1,000,001), the floating points become more sparse and errors crop up even easier.

For example, using 32 bit floating point values, each consecutive floating point in the range 1,000,000 - 1,000,001 is 0.0625 away from the next.
