It is important to separate the hardware and the language. The article is about Swift and it doesn't matter what the hardware guarantees exist for 32-bit loads and stores. The is the compiler's job. If the language doesn't guarantee that a particular action will product an atomic 32-bit load or store than it may be compiled to something different.

This is why it is important to tell the language what you mean. Even in C non-atomic access don't have these guarantees. It may seem pointless because in 99% of cases that "non-atomic" store compiles to the exact same instructions as a relaxed store. But that is just because you are getting lucky. The language doesn't guarantee that and with the atomic store the compiler is well within its right to emit something different (like two stores, spilling dirty values, ...).
That's not what I am asking though...

I am asking about reading content that is not available through any free means, and pirating it in order to read it instead of paying for it from the author.
Statistically, I'm thinking the group being able to have "life changing money" in their thirties or forties is quite small. Likewise, making reliable income from a passion in the area of arts, music, is only for the few.

It doesn't mean that you shouldn't try, I'm just saying we need advise for the rest of us. If you're not in that 1% group that will make it big at a young age or can retire early, I propose the pseudo-retirement.

I'm middle-aged and slowly but surely optimizing my expenses. Paying down the mortgage. Optimizing the energy use of our home. Going from 2 cars down to 1. Buying extremely durable goods. Cutting useless daily expenses.

The idea is to bring expenses down to such a manageable level so that much less income is needed to keep everything going. Somewhere in the age range of 50-60, we pseudo-retire. We switch to a simple job nearby.

We're in our forties and could already make it on 2 minimum wage jobs right now. We still have a lot of room to cost optimize and if we really stretch it, 1.5 minimum wage jobs in 5 years is on the table, as well as 1 minimum wage job in 10 years. Quite likely we'll go for 2 x 3-4 days/week jobs, but even 2 x full-time would be fine.

The main motivation for this strategy is the very high retirement age (about 70-71) by the time we get there but also to get out of our demanding, stressful jobs. They're frying our brains and sanity.

> Mr. Nashiri claimed that in 2013, he was subjected to 'rectal feeding' and sodomized with a broom handle by prison staff.

> In 2014, the Obama administration released a 500-page document that detailed some of the CIA’s ‘black site’ program. The document confirms that rectal feeding is a method of torture used by prison staff.

I don’t consider rape, anal feeding, and everything else to be “force feeding prisoners who are hunger striking”.

Adding onto what the other commenter said, these sort implementations are practically all hybrids, containing multiple sort algorithms. In fact ipnsort uses optimal sorting networks as part of its small-sort https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/bf90e294.... And for example vqsort benchmarked in another one of my writeups uses a bitonic merge network to combine smaller blocks created from optimal sorting networks.
The keywords are tokenized, the line number is converted to a 16bit integer, leading spaces are stripped (which is why some "formatted" BASIC uses ":" as the first character in a line, like the following), everything else is kept intact.

10 for i = 1 to 10

20 : (arbitrary number of spaces) print "hello"

Off the top of my head for ios - push notifications, offline use, optimized storage options (local storage not cleared after 7 days of no use), app-like ux (no browser controls), home screen icon for easy access, background audio (sound while app is closed).

The real advantage is for devs who can build an app that feels like a native app, but with one codebase for distribution across OSs/devices, not having to pay the apple/google tax, and not dealing with app review.
> Maybe if you don't consume a lot of YouTube it's not that valuable to you

I'm in this bucket. I think for YouTube my no-brainer price would be around 4.99 or so. Even if it just gave me like 20* hours ad free or something.

I do pay for Twitch Turbo (£11.99) however, I've almost always got a stream open. At least YouTube ads don't run over the top of content, haha.

If I am not mistaken, when Marc Andreessen was building the Mosaic browser (1993-ish) he and his co-founders contemplated the monetization model for the web. Since micropayments were not possible, the only obvious choice was ads. In this sense, reliance on advertisement as the primary way to monetize online businesses is as old as www.

Texas, maybe? If the power grid goes down because of excess AC usage?

Yes, I read that people have been living for 100s of years (pre-AC) through temps regularly hitting 46 degrees, but see also the response on wet-bulb temps and survivability. 46 degrees for 5 days straight without AC (as in, backup power is gone...) and I think we'll see some losses.

> But instead you can reframe the argument.

Why would someone argue with you about what they like? You’re assuming that they are dumb and that you are smart. That’s a bad way to approach persuading people.
Thank you! This victim-blaming nonsense is so infuriating to see. As long as people are willing to be dishonest, this same thing can happen in any area where spaces are designated for certain people. The argument the parent is making is essentially akin to "maybe they should have changed the dress code if they didn't want people being raped" instead of blaming rapists.
If each block contains the hash of the previous block, then I think that it is a blockchain (regardless of if there is multiple authors or only a single author). A git repository is a blockchain, too.

The data was already free. It was posted to the internet for anyone's viewing pleasure.
In my opinion the cover letter should explain why you applied to this offer.
Your cover letter adds nothing, it basically repeats some of your resume.

What made you apply to this one and not others (of course you probably applied to other positions, but not every position so surely there must be some reasons)? Is the domain of interest to you? The tech stack? The people? The opportunities? Anything besides "it pays money"?

And if the only reason is money, then why this one and not a lawyer position, or CEO, or whatever pays well. Surely you must feel that some of your experience/skills match well with the position. Describe those, but don't just repeat your resume. Add a bit more meat, focus on a project you've worked on that fits. Explain what you liked about it. If you don't have a lot of experience in a domain, but it interests you, say so. Explain why your lack of experience is not a problem (show a project where to had to quickly get up to speed on a new tech, ...). And so on.

It doesn't have to be long, a couple of sentences about your motivation, a couple of sentences about how you fit, and that's good enough.

Still composure, and the appropriate course of action is still to evaluate your options and choose the best one, even if that's the best option out of a list of bad options.

Unless you think that panic will induce the driver to stop accelerating, I suppose. Though I think the closer analogy would be "you're a passenger in a car with a brick on the accelerator and no driver", because I don't think there's any person or coherent group of people who actually control the global economy (in the sense of "control" where they can make sweeping changes that go against local incentive gradients, and have those changes stick).

This is the reason why I refuse to pay for any work travel expenses with my credit card.

I once worked for a company that had a similar travel process. When I was asked to travel, I insisted that my VP have his assistant schedule and pay for everything. When I arrived at the hotel on one trip, the hotel asked me for a credit card to pay for the booking. I stepped out of line and called my VP to have him fax his card info to the hotel.

I understand this wouldn't work for everyone but I think it's ok to question the policy and see how much flexibility there is. In my case, I was able to avoid taking on personal liability for my employer's expenses by pushing back and working with my VP to find a solution that I was comfortable with.

> I am asking about reading content that is not available through any free means, and having to pirate it in order to read it.

Reading it is legal.

Distributing torrents is not though. That is the part of piracy that is illegal. The illegal part is when you create and distributing copies.

Copyright law has nothing to do with reading stuff that you have not paid for.

Instead, it is about the illegality of creating and distributing copies.

That's why it's called "copyright" law. Because it is about copies.

It is not "readright law".

No, there is nothing illegal about reading something that you havent paid for.
"To be fair" because neither "it's documented" nor "it's undocumented" capture the state of things. I'm highlighting why someone would consider the API not fully documented to make it easier for others to see mrguyorama's point of view, even if I disagree with it. In other words, I'm steelmanning their argument, since I think it was poorly put forward.
It's the molecular emission spectrum of PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) plus a blackbody. Both of these are known quite well to atmospheric scientists. The only thing to fit was how much of each to add and what the total flux normalization was.

(The blackbody is a smooth single hump, while the PAH spectrum are the jagged atomic and molecular lines coming from quantum mechanical effects, which have discrete energies.)
I experience that when I try to google for technical problems I'm having at work, but otherwise searches still go pretty well for me.

I just had to google a bunch of races that I wanted to run. The top result was always the event's own web site.

When I google some news, relevant news articles always come up.

The last search I did was for how to display a ket vector in LaTeX. The top result was the StackExchange article with the right answer.

From what I see, certain domains seem to be targeted for exploitation. Programming questions seem to be high up on the list. I wonder if that skews HN readers' perceptions.

I recently stumbled into a couple of YouTube videos on turret design for tanks.

* What actually IS an “Oscillating” turret? https://youtu.be/46k7uhPHpLY

* What happened to Rear-Mounted Turrets? https://youtu.be/g5DOf2eZW3Y

At 4:24 in the rear mounted turret video it touches on the aspects of modern transmission.
No, it literally is GNU/Linux, with glibc and coreutils and everything.

I've been! To that and the creation museum, run by the same group. Boy it's an experience, as a former Christian that had to come out of the closet. There's like... a willing suspense of disbelief that one must accept for pretty much any of the pseudo-science on display to seem even remotely plausible. (Among other things they really don't seem to like carbon dating.) But then, there's entire crowds full of people moving through the thing, talking about it among themselves and with their children, presenting it as though it is obviously factual.

It's... an interesting place to be sure. I recommend visiting once if you're near the area, just for the sheer absurdity on display. If nothing else, it's good to have your convictions challenged once in a while.
I stay loyal to two hotel brands - Hilton and Hyatt for the most part.

The very reason I don’t use third party portals is because it’s always a hassle when you need to make any changes.

Last year I booked a week at the Hilton San Francisco Financial District for a hybrid work/personal trip.

We arrived late that night and we were not impressed. We went downstairs the next morning, shortened our stay to that one night. Paid it and moved over to another hotel - the Hilton Parc 55. This would have been much more of a headache if not impossible going through a third party portal.

I’ve also increased my stay by a day before arriving and the published price had changed. I called the hotel and asked them to extend my stay by one day at the original price - no problem.

I was a customer of the hotel, not the third party portal.

In my specific case, I am Diamond with Hilton and Globalist with Hyatt. I would get no status benefits or points for going through the portal.

That incident in S.F. I mentioned? When I changed hotels I got an upgrade for free to the “fitness room” with a gym inside the room.
Google can ban you from their services permanently for any reason.

What I did was move to my own domain. Its hosted with Apple, but that is not important, I can always move it.

I changed most places to use my domain, for the rest I set up a forward from Gmail to my own domain. Then I did a Google Checkout so I have all my mail locally.

I moved from Google search to Duck Duck go and now partially to Kagi and AI.

Gmail is very sticky, but the hardest Google services to leave was a) Android and b) Youtube. Android meant buying an iPhone and I still haven't found anything that competes with Youtube.
Yes, the US armed the Talibans and made them strong, and then gave them Afghanistan to in effect enslave the women and oppress the people there.

It’s hard when you’re trying to trick them. But show someone a genuinely better product and you don’t need to convince them of anything.
No, it’s really not. Maybe you’re thinking of Spotify whose goal is to get everyone to subscribe to premium, but YouTube’s cares much more about completely cornering their market and has no problem sustaining itself with ads. Why would they purposefully design their app to annoy the vast majority of users?

One surprising fact about Linux pipes I stumbled across 4 years ago is that using a pipe can create indeterministic behavior:

https://www.gibney.org/the_output_of_linux_pipes_can_be_inde...
Scott Aaronson addresses this. Uncomputable does not mean unsolvable by humans. It just means there’s no axiomatic system powerful enough to enumerate all the busy beaver numbers. Rather we’ll need axiomatic system A for the first few, then B, then C, etc each more complicated than the last.

Ex: we already know BB(745) is independent of ZFC, any more powerful system should have its own independence limit, etc.

source: page 6 here https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/bb.pdf

Since BB computing code is halting problem solving code, it goes back to my point about “one finite program to solve halting for countably infinitely many TMs and inputs” seeming intractable compression-wise. On the contrary, maybe countably many BB computing programs for each countably many BB number would be doable.

I never was defending it, they said they were shocked that humans were capable of doing what was done at Guantanamo. I was just saying that there are some other historical events that will really surprise them.
> A company i worked for wanted systems to have no more than 2ns of time drift between each other, in a network of +10 devices.

At that point it's surprising they didn't just deploy a local "time network", with a single master clock distributing time via length-calibrated coax. Approaches like that are really common in television studios.
I'm trying out Orion by Kagi: https://browser.kagi.com/

But I would also consider Waterfox: https://www.waterfox.net/

They're WebKit-based and for MacOS/iOS/iPadOS only, so they don't get max points for browser diversity, and I can't run it on my Linuxes. As far as I understand, they plan to target more operating systems, and to target the most popular add-ons for other browsers.

I'm not satisfied until it supports an OS-agnostic (non-sucky, no thank you 1Password) password sync and works on Linux.

I hope they'll grow into a worthy alternative to Firefox, because Firefox is going down.

One review of alternatives here scores Waterfox at the highest, but I think I prefer if a company is behind it:

Instead of a knee-jerk reaction to spending money on a particular solution, think about the problem.

Most things of significant mass are in stable orbits or they wouldn't be there for very long. Regional sats like the one from Dish are in GSO way away, so they don't really matter. The problem is that Dish didn't have a disposal plan for this satellite. It's mostly when operators create clouds of junk, especially fragments from unnecessary collisions that cross other orbits, that pose a threat to lives and property. It's good to require operators to have a deorbit or parking orbit plan.

The biggest threat is LEO-crossing MMOD, which is why crewed craft have hundreds of Whipple shielding configurations to choose from for a given application.

This isn't a problem in need of solving in such a deliberate, costly, and arbitrary manner. Instead, the solutions are holistic: don't create debris that poses a risk to LEO, have a decommissioning plan for GSO objects, and protect what needs protecting by defensive spacecraft design.

Edit: The Kosmos 2251/Iridium 33 collision was reckless operation by the Russians leaving space junk in LEO.

I've listened to Sara talk about this a couple times. It's basically about approaching chemistry and biology from the perspective of a physicist/computer scientist where everything is about information.

The idea is that the possibility-space of molecules is combinatorially vast, even for nature itself. If you can identify a sort of kolmolgorov complexity for molecules (assembly index), the ones with high complexity are indicative of intentional, non-random processes like life.

One of the key differences here from prior approaches is that the definitions they've chosen are computable and universal, though I haven't gotten the same impression of universality and utility from their papers.
Let's Encrypt and similar services will allow you to do exactly that though...?
