> The problem with platform threads is that they are expensive from a lot of points of view. First, they are costly to create. Whenever a platform thread is made, the OS must allocate a large amount of memory (megabytes) in the stack to store the thread context, native, and Java call stacks. This is due to the not resizable nature of the stack. Moreover, whenever the scheduler preempts a thread from execution, this enormous amount of memory must be moved around.

There are a few issues and inaccuracies in this statement.

While it is true that platform threads can be expensive in terms of resources, the claim that the OS must allocate "megabytes" of memory for the stack is an exaggeration. The actual size of the stack depends on the operating system and the specific implementation, but typical default values range from a few dozen kilobytes to a few hundred kilobytes, not megabytes.

The statement implies that the entire stack is moved around when the scheduler preempts a thread from execution. This is not accurate. When a thread is preempted, the operating system saves the context of the thread, which is a relatively small amount of data, including the values of the CPU registers and the program counter. The stack itself is not moved around during this process.

It is not correct to say that the stack is "not resizable." While the default stack size is set by the operating system, many programming languages and operating systems allow you to specify the stack size when creating a new thread. However, it is true that once a thread has been created, its stack size typically cannot be changed.

What incentives do automakers have to provide you with a secure product? "Old-school" key ignitions work perfectly fine, so why were they replaced with the obviously-flawed dongle?

How complex would a device have to be to not be trivially defeated by a replay attack? How do you get both ends to reliably communicate without requiring an always-on internet connection in both the dongle and the vehicle to sync timing or some other state? What do you do when the manufacturer no longer exists or doesn't want to pay for servers to enable people to drive "old models"?

Right thinking people can also disagree on what is a false-positive. I remember a dialog between two people about one such thing. The summary is:

1. No improper behavior occurs currently because of the item flagged

2. However, reasonable changes to other parts of the code could cause the problem to occur

3. There is an obvious way of rewriting that avoids #2.

One person argued it was a false positive because of #1, while the other argued it was a true positive because #2 and #3 combined means you definitely want to change the code...
On the other hand, if I have some working C dependency which I never intend to modify (owing to its complexity or stability), plopping the autogenerated Rust code simplifies your build step.

1. None of the issues I listed affect traditional CDNs though.

3. Why would the people running a peer have cheaper access to servers and bandwidth than a company specializing in that business? Everything about this business should have huge economies of scale (buying hardware, system administration, transit/peering).

The only situation where I can see a distributed model winning out is if the entity running the peer does not pay for resources but gets them with fraud or theft, e.g. paying for cloud servers with stolen credit cards.
The Federal Reserve is literally an example of the banks self-regulating. Look up the story of Jekyll Island. The problem is, the banks’ idea of self regulating isn’t the same as yours

And don’t think that handing more power to the federal government would be any different. Take a look at what a revolving door there is between banks and regulators, particularly during crises. Geithner, Paulson, Mnuchin, Bernanke, Bob Rubin, Larry Summers, etc…
Not higher fees. The FDIC will use a special assessment like they did in 2009. This special assessment was 5 basis points last time. 5 cents on $100. Hardly a major expense to pass on. Banks are highly competitive and those that do pass on the assessment will lose customers to those who eat the 5 basis points.

The problem employees have is that they cannot sell their shares because the company is private.

If Stripe was public, considering they would be a big player, buying and selling shares would be instant on your favourite platform/bank.

However you look at it, missing the previous favourable window for an IPO is a huge mistake.
I thought I was clear in saying that life in itself might not be enough?

Why would you say something "everything has life worthy of living" why? I actually disagree with this statement. Animals like pigs or dogs or humans are not just living beings, they also have complex mental processes. Did you know pigs are very much aware of deaths in their close families? These are complex animals that feel both physical and emotional pain. I'm sorry you think domestication has turned pigs into walking meat but that's simply not the case. So it's not difficult to justify the ending of lives of bacteria as opposed to pigs, but it is much more difficult to justify the ending of the lives of pigs as opposed to humans.

And I think you really haven't been able to justify your human exceptionalism, instead you simply attack me as if I'm supposed to convince you that this is not the case simply because you "feel" that it's right. And that's my point, you have a dogmatic belief that you're not willing to even challenge.

Obviously I get the instinct of human exceptionalism, but instinct does not make for good reason. Should we allocate half of our hospital resources to animal shelters? I mean, how about we stop eating meat instead? How about we stop the mass consumerism we are trapped in? We don't have to sacrifice the well being of humans to improve the well being of animals. Well, we might have to sacrifice some comfort, because the way we live is simply unsustainable.

I think this depends on the person.

I love -Weverything. I turn off two warnings by pragma in headers (-Wpadded, -Wc++98-compat), but other than that, I make the code obey all of warnings. This means things like explicitly marking unused arguments, marking pointer casts with a void pointer cast (with an assert to ensure alignment is okay), etc.

But my code will build cleanly everywhere. That's really nice.

Sure, I would feel comfortable letting AI tools have access to the real world. Why not?

Hallucination is a human concept which doesn't apply here. But we already allow humans who experience hallucinations and other mental disorders to have access to the real world; they are only locked away if they commit crimes or meet strict criteria for civil confinement. This very HN thread is already full of ignorant, delusional people posting total nonsense. This is not a serious problem. How would an AI tool be any worse?

Some of the commenters here appear to be concerned that an AI tool could call an API that would cause damage. That is a misplaced concern because such vulnerabilities will inevitably be exploited by malicious humans anyway, so it hardly matters if an AI tool finds them first. And AI tools are owned by people or corporations who can be held legally responsible for any damage. Like if your dog escapes from your yard and bites someone then you're going to be in trouble.
This shouldn't be a downvote.

No press did due diligence here. Literally the only people who got thrown under the bus were the honest ones who came forward, and ones who were dead.

MIT delayed until the story was no longer hot, and released a boring 60+ page report, so the press apparently didn't even bother reading it.

Google has discontinued the Glass Enterprise Edition
It's the same mistake the Mozilla team did. They completely disregarded the Windows platform. They didn't include Administrative Templates, MSI installers, and didn't integrate with Windows system settings properly such as Root CA trust lists.

OpenSSL feels like the same kind of "Linux fanboy" group that refuses to acknowledge that there is an entire ecosystem out there used by billions of people.

Not having official, digitally signed packages available on their own website is disrespectful to the millions of Windows system administrators that are forced to scrounge around the web looking for official packages.

Instead of one OpenSSL guy spending a few hours setting up a build pipeline in the cloud, scores of administrators have to go find C++ package managers, install C++ toolchains, and "build their own" OpenSSL instead.

This is one of the many reasons I steer clear of OpenSSL. This is a team that infamously wasted time maintaining support for big-endian(!) AMD64 processors, a platform that never existed, but apparently can't find the time to build a couple of DLLs for their second biggest user base.
Yes, there is no API on iOS that allows most of the things listed in the article that apps can use even it tried to use non documented APIs.

That head start has had a huge impact on the ecosystem too. Random libraries (ex: Google.Cloud.PubSub.V1) have first class, mature support for async and streams. Compare that to Python (and I'd have to assume Python is much more popular on Google Cloud) which only recently got async support and it's still kludgy. This really applies across the board for anything web related.

JavaScript/TypeScript is probably the only ecosystem with comparable async support, unless you count golang which achieves a similar result with different ergonomics. I'm still on the fence on which I personally prefer.. I can see the appeal of not having the async logic pollute the callstack, but at the same time the magic[1] way golang handles i/o seems antithetical to its philosophy of being simple and explicit (for example, with respect to error handling).

Isn't a big blocker in this space the fact that when you can hide behind a digital license to use a copy of the game the potential that you may, at some point in the future, be unable to deliver a copy of that game to the consumer isn't a big issue?

I had thought that electronic goods dealers (e-books, steam, whatever) had some issues with actually selling goods because of the fact that a sold good needs to continue to be accessible even if their platform becomes too expensive to operate at some point.

I wonder if we could shift the definition of sale to something more reasonable access-wise in the long term and come up with a reasonable path for resale since, with a third party host like steam, infinite transferability isn't really feasible - there are technicalities around account registration and the like that would need to place some limits on your right to resell the item.

Yeah, honestly the answer is still Github. I entered this industry in 1998. I remember why people don't like Microsoft. I avoid Windows like the plague and have for many years. But Github has never been anything but good for developers and open source, and that hasn't seemed to change. Microsoft can afford to fund stuff like this for developer goodwill alone, and spends much more than that already for that reason. Its not the greatest model imaginable for the sustainability of open source, but there is absolutely no indication as of yet that it's a really bad one. I mean, who the hell wants to go back to sourceforge, even before it was bought and turned into a cesspool?
I think this is effectively costing Stripe nothing. I'm skimming over a lot details, but they're taking equity that is owned by employees and transferring that to other investors.

It's a way to keep employees happy since they've decided it's not a good time to IPO and they have a lot of employees with thousands or even millions of dollars locked up in illiquid stock.

Halting all Senate activity should be a consequence of of the filibuster. It increases the negative consequences of using it, something that is desperately needed. Right now there is basically zero cost to filibustering anything, so it happens all the time and tons of legislation isn't even proposed for debate since it's not the worth the hassle when senators know bills will just be filibustered anyway. If using what is supposed to be an extreme tool came with more consequences senators would (hopefully) reserve usage for more extreme legislation. If using the filibuster angered other members of your party who have worked hard to move bills through the legislative process there would be a lot more pushback to using it every time there is a day in the week.

The 1972 2 track rule has made it far easier to sustain a filibuster since there is little to no pressure from other minority members to compromise or just move on. The 2nd track allows just enough bill movement to prevent backlash from more moderate members.
