> Whenever I try to catch up with maths (in Khan Academy and elsewhere), I always end up in an awkward state where I keep recursively researching less and less advanced subjects because of gaps of various sizes in my fundamental knowledge. It's incredibly demotivating.

Try this course: https://www.edx.org/course/college-algebra-and-problem-solvi...

It uses the ALEKS system which identifies your weak points and brings you up to speed. Take notes during the process so you have something to reference in the future and won’t forget what you learned.

After you knock out the algebra course you’ll be ready for the precalculus course: https://www.edx.org/course/precalculus

The ALEKS system in the Precalculus course will also remediate anything you forgot from the Algebra course.

Hopefully this will help give you the confidence to go after more advanced maths once you finish both courses. Be kind to yourself, math, like anything, is a skill, it takes time and practice.

There was a rare race condition [1] bug in the linux kernel, and they didn't know precisely where it was introduced (which made it difficult to know what to change to fix it). They knew it was introduced at some point between two versions, but there were 52,363 code changes between those two versions. Because the bug was rare, you would have to test any given code change multiple times (thousands of times, in their case) to be confident that the bug was still present (if working backwards), or still absent (if working forwards). A way to do that faster is a binary search [2], or commit bisection.

Basically, you know commit 0 is fine, and change 52,363 is bad, so you run 1000 tests on change 26,180 to cut in half the number of commits that could have introduced the problem. If the bug is still there, then you run 1000 tests on change 13,090; if the bug is not in change 26,180, then you run 1000 tests on change 39,270. Eventually (after 15 or 16 iterations) you'll narrow down the problem to a single change which introduced the problem. Unfortunately code is complicated, so the first time they ran that procedure, their tests didn't find the right bug, so they did it again but slightly differently.

> Its hard to imagine, for example, a 10-way decode on x86.

Uh, why? Instructions start at byte boundaries. Say you want to decode an whole 64 byte cache line at once (probably 10-14 instructions on average). Thats... 64 parallel decode units. Seems extremely doable to me, given that "instruction decode" isn't even visible as a block on the enormous die shots anyway.

Obviously there's some cost there in terms of pipeline depth, but then again Sandy Bridge showed how to do caching at the uOp level to avoid that. Again, totally doable and a long-solved problem. The real reason that Intel doesn't do 10-wide decode is that it doesn't have 10 execution units to fill (itself because typical compiler-generated code can't exploit that kind of parallelism anyway).

In my experience, you gain enough knowledge to set up a new container service in minutes fairly fast. I opt for containers because to me it's the perfect balance of ease of use, maintainability and performance. Managing container orchestration is completely optional too. All cloud platforms offer it as a service.
With serverless I've had more trouble than benefits. It's not easier than containers to set up - often quite the opposite. When (not if) you encounter performance issues, they are either difficult to solve or simply impossible. I have never had this experience with containers.
I think it must be the case that the extent to which a person finds high levels of organization useful is due to individualized brain chemistry / personality. I've put in the effort to organize things in the past and just found that it wasn't very helpful to me. No matter how good my organization was — and I'm sure there was room for improvement — it just didn't end up being worth the effort; the benefits were marginal at best. And I would usually just end up searching through what I'd saved and that seemed faster than navigating some hierarchical organized thing. I also suspect that for some people, the act of organizing itself is really the primary pay off, less so the resulting organization. For others still, the act of organizing is vaguely therapeutic, something akin to tending to one's perfect little garden.

If you force it, you're essentially going to be raising someone who hates programming because "it's that shit my mom/dad forced me to do when I had no interest in doing it, I really wanted to be developing my chess game instead".

I've never liked this idea that x86 CPUs decode instructions into RISC form internally. Before there was RISC, before there was even x86, there were microcoded instruction sets [1]. They were first implemented in Wilkes' 1958 EDSAC 2. Indeed the Patterson Ditzel paper even comments on this:

Microprogrammed control allows the implementation of complex architectures more cost-effectively than hardwired control. [2]

These horizontally microprogrammed instructions interpreted the architectural instruction set. The VAX 11/750 microcode control program had an interpreter loop. There could be more than 100 bits in these horizontal instructions with 30+ fields. Horizontally microprogrammed instructions were not in any way reduced. Indeed, reduction would mean paying the decode tax twice.

There was another form, vertical microprogramming, which was closer to RISC. But there was no translation from complex to vertical.

A tangible benefit is one that’s visible to a large number of people in their daily lives. The link in my previous post details some of the many costs of cuts to local services. These will manifest as a long term drag on the UK economy, not just a blight on the lives of the affected children. You apparently assume that this damage must be worth it in order to make a particular economic statistic graph nicely. It is therefore clear which of us is in thrall to a particular political ideology. Future economic prosperity requires the current generation of children to be healthy, well educated and well adjusted members of society. Borrowing money now to ensure that this happens in future is one of the best long-term investments a government can make. The real question is not "how much are we borrowing?" but "what is the expected return on the spending enabled via borrowing?".

That said, debt as a percentage of GDP is actually higher now than it was in 2010 when the Conservatives came to power! (This was also true before the pandemic.) See the chart here under the heading “Government debt”: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02...

The author proposes, well, I've no idea really, some form of radical social reform? How would one do that, artificially? Is it even desirable?

> Even just asserting with evidence "nothing can be done, and here's what's in store for society" would be something.

The author makes wide-ranging predictions based in a political moment (these are rarely if ever accurate, realistically).

Honestly, all of the above are, I think, common _failings_ of this sort of article and the author has done well to avoid them.

"real architects" write code and simply hop from one team to the other so that they have a reasonable picture of the overall system and can try to guide all the teams to make harmonious choices and possibly even reach some goal.

This still results in a lot of compromises and problems. Anyhow they should be there talking to the developers in a 2-way fashion so that then end result is not entirely "from on high".

What do you mean by "new, sexual orthodoxy"?

The fact that sex (biology features) and gender (social role) are two distinct things that can be in a complex relation with each other and they try to aknowledge that? Or that people with certain sexual orientations can marry?

I mean what exactly do you mean by forcing those laws "by violence"? Got any examples that showcase this is a widespread Democratic agenda?

Not every decision has to be done with maximum research. That’s usually a waste of time. It’s more efficient to try a couple things until something works and move on (“satisficing”). A key skill you learn over time is why decisions actually matter. But it’s not inherently bad that there’s no good reason for something, it really depends on the context. And sometimes things that had good reasons turn out bad anyway because the assumptions proved wrong or circumstances changed.
You'd need the participants not to know they are part of a study.

They'd need to be in a situation where they believe that the statement of their true beliefs is critical.

This isn't impossible (many studies do use primary sources which were not created for the purposes of a study, and where there was some incentive based on real-world circumstances for them to be truthful), but it is much more difficult and leaves gaps where insufficient primary sources materials addressing the questions of the study are available.

Psychologists are well aware that the current model for many psychology studies, which consists of either asking an extremely small sample of participants to sit in a computer lab at a university for 20 minutes answering questions, or sending out very loosely-targeted emails soliciting participation, are both very inefficient.

But they gotta get published, cause that's how you put food on the table.

> This law was established in my childhood, and as a nominal conservative I support it.

The trouble, there, is that the modern American mainstream right (and to a large extent the right, or at least the far-right, in most developed countries), _is not conservative_; in general it's far more radical, and wants to make far more sweeping changes, than the mainstream left.

There was a fairly long period when the political right heavily overlapped with 'conservatives', that is people who are perhaps overly into Chesterton's fence, but that's largely over now.

> leading to an alien landscape where people are fleeing newly antiabortion states and refusing job offers on the basis of what laws they have to live under.

I would note that that people having to be conscious of repressive state laws isn't _all that alien_; ethnic minorities in the US have moved states based on the laws they'd be living under for literal centuries, and LGBT people have similar concerns (it wasn't even legal to be gay nationwide in the US until 2007, for instance). The difference here is the abrupt _removal_ of pre-existing rights, of course.
I'd wager there are a lot of people who think of themselves as Conservative/Liberal due to mimicry from parents or environment who are actually fairly centrist once challenged. Combined with the fact a lot of people also aren't very engaged with politics to begin with it isn't that hard to see how a seemingly contradictory relationship could actually be quite successful
If you are into it, sure. This is a good question and I can not quite answer it too my satisfaction despite repeated attempts, but here is my best go at. Surround sound gives a larger sweet spot than stereo (that area in the room where you can hear sounds from speakers move about the room as if they were there with you) which will compensate for less than optimal speaker matching and we also get more information to process from those extra channels so our brain can make more sense of what it is supposed to be. This along with surround sound generally being used with film where our attention is divided makes surround sound more tolerant of speaker selection.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable in 3d sound will happen along.

Edit: Should also mention that we get a lot more leeway in general when it comes to film sound since we also have visual cues regarding the sound's location and movement.
