I'm not convinced these 2 things are connected. He can still be critical, he just can't harass anyone.
GCC was originally written by Stallman, and greatly improved through the late 80s and early 90s, in part IIRC by a number of hardware vendors who thought it was a better way to get a high quality compiler than paying Whitesmiths, MetaWare etc.

BSD could have become fully free with the portable C compiler (pcc) but in the early 90s it only supported the VAX and Tahoe (CCI Power 6/32) architectures, and I don't think would have been a good foundation for a modern compiler. Various folks had hacked versions of pcc in the 80s to support other architectures, but the code didn't go back upstream.

Without GCC, there's a good chance that the entire FOSS ecosystem wouldn't exist.
Leniency “as often as harshness” was the claim. Not just leniency.

I worked in managing bug bounty programs at a previous job. If there is one thing I have learned it's that blog posts like this are heavily skewed towards making the problem seem much larger than it is. It's what gets the clicks, so it's not a surprise. It makes dealing with penetration testers and bug bounty participants really stressful and frankly, annoying.

Our policy was that we would be happy if someone were to discuss bounties we paid out for, but we wanted the discussion to be fair and accurate. It did not ever really feel like it was mutually beneficial relationship. I don't miss that work at all really lol.
Windows does that to me every few years when I try it. Something in getting set up (forced Microsoft account, aggressively pushing Edge, forced updates that reboot my machine) that makes me bail. Now that I don't work for a company that uses Zoom, there's nothing for which I need Windows at the moment.

You can own guns in the UK, but few people do as there is no need. There is a shooting range no far from me, but it's simply not poplar here. I guess that why the US has approximately 160 times the gun death rate of the UK!
Improved Validation with Generics in Go
Unless you are building your own custom kernel (ie gentoo) CPU specific optimizations are not worth it as they are worse for any other CPU even if the code is still run. Most software never had those micro optimizations applied, because most software wants to have one build that runs any many different CPUs, but if you want to make an exception it is still possible with compiled code.

While you can write those micro optimizations for each CPU by hand, they not worth the human cost except in very rare situations. In most cases of course you can't measure the difference, as only a couple CPU cycles are saved.
they are poised to be increasingly adopted by corporations

Hopium addiction is a terrible thing to see. TELL YOUR CHILDREN!
I operate under the assumption that all phone conversations, video/audio calls, and even in-person meetings at someone’s home or at a third-party establishment, such as a restaurant, are being recorded.

In countries like Japan, Canada, and presumably the United States, among others, whenever I contact a government agency, telecommunications company (TELCO), or any business utilizing third-party call centers—especially those that route calls through agencies in the Philippines—I consistently hear the introductory disclaimer that “this call may be recorded for quality assurance.”

As someone who is not a native English speaker, I appreciate the one-party consent rule, especially when conducting interviews with candidates who are fluent in English (as they often speak rapidly) or those whose native language is not English (as many may have a pronounced accent). Even when our communication is good, having a recording allows me to avoid the need to take notes in real-time and instead I can concentrate more on the candidate. I believe this approach makes interviews into more of a conversation and less of an interrogation.

When it comes to video recordings, I always ask for consent from all parties involved. However, for audio recordings, I’ve typically adhered to the one-consent rule, at least in the countries where I am currently located (Japan←→Canada), whether I’m the one recording or being recorded. Having said that, after reading the article, I think I’ll change my approach by explicitly seeking consent from all parties in future calls, mostly as a gesture of respect.
Yes I was wondering how they turn it on to understand the customers better?
And I’m not unhappy they solved it in some other way, it just confirms the market demand.
I can see a world where something like this works, if you implemented some caveats.

- It has to be a low monetary amount, like a couple of bucks at most, though even this is tricky. People aren't willing to sheir their account details (for good reason) with any random entity, and a CC number gate will also block many well meaning reporters. It's probably the trickiest part here to justify (though presumably many Reporters want to get paid at which point they'd have to provide these details anyways, but oh well)
- Refunds for well intentioned bug reports that get denied, so if you send blatant spam you lost out on the 5 bucks or whatever it'd cost you, but if you're making a legitimate report that wasn't accepted for whatever legit reason, you get it back. Makes it so incentives are still there, though I guess this can be abused (not like it's not already)
- Fee waivers and a whitelist system. After all, if you've sent in multiple reports and they turned out to not be spammy, then you deserve the benefit of the doubt to freely send in reports. This can also be extended to a chain of trust in the wider bug reporting ecosystem, which encourages people to stick to a "main" account where their identity and reputation is established

Though I still expect lots of people wouldn't like this system, and for good reasons as well. Not sure what a perfect system would look like though, to be honest
Even if this is true, which I agree it is, it’s still a 100x more painful than writing a programming language and compiling to RISC-V. That also gives you the benefit of compiling to multiple arch’s
Sure. Like many other athletes. I'm sure folks back in the day going into combat used every advantage they could as well.

37C3: The impact of quantum computers in cybersecurity [video]
I was just popping in to make a similar comment. Fortran is probably doing the heavy lifting for most of the entries here, you might as well show how much your language-specific overhead is by including it.
I don’t know if anyone else noticed, and I’m not sure whether this is intentional, or maybe the dev found it too hard to do well in browser-based games, but it seems like most of his games don’t sync the sound with actions happening in the game.

For example, in Pac Man, the dots chomping sound seems like it’s just a repeating sound that is toggled on and off, vs. actually syncing with the timing of chomping the dots.

Also, if you check out his other web-based games [1], you’ll notice the same thing — the actions (by tapping) cause a sound that is just repeated at a pre-set rhythm that doesn’t sync with when you tap.

It’s subtle, but can actually have an adverse affect on the performance of the game. I often use sound feedback as a way of timing, and when this doesn’t match what I’m doing, it can definitely throw me off my rhythm.

The Timber Test game [2] is a perfect example of this, particularly on the later levels where you need to cut the log into equal fractions, but the sound timing is always the same, making beeps in unequal intervals.

Unfortunately it doesn't. The newest and hottest way to do this is to either use bespoke matmul from System.Numerics.Tensors or at least using Vector<T> for SIMD (which is trivial and not "the last mile" optimization it often seems to be).

The Virtual Card Read-Punch
The problem is that an unsophisticated user doesn't necessarily think like that, and could come to the conclusion that it is not a big deal to leave his workstation unlocked while going to fetch a coffee, after all, well... "I have a password manager, and to have access to it, it requires unlocking". Then some colleague calls them for an ongoing meeting so they can share some insight about some question that was raised in the meeting and so on.

A far-fetched scenario? yes. But if it can happen, it will happen.

Fixit: An Unreasonably Effective AI Error Fixer for DuckDB SQL
Right, I know there are differences. Easiest consideration there is that caches are probably never walking to root pointers. They can choose to work on individual entries with no regard to the rest.

My point is not any different than how you design your kitchen/house. Things that you use all of the time, you have up front. The more often you use them, the closer they are to where they are used. Same for general storage.

Why would cache not follow the same pattern? In each "bin" you can go with LRU or Sieve, but having multiple bins makes a ton of sense. And it looks a lot like the way that GC works.
About ten years ago I sensed that the internet between unpoisoned social networks, Wikipedia, and other sources of genuine information hitting the masses before the MBAs became internet aware, was the golden age. People were overall generally more aware of things than they used to be.

But that has sharply regressed.

Coincidentally or not, it seemed to start the slide with the iPhone. Perhaps it was the true entry of the masses without the barrier of the desktop PC.
Buying bandwidth from github for LFS blobs seems the wrong approach to me, assuming this is some hobby project.

No it wont lead to anywhere. They will just get rid of the NYT bits of the corpus, then settle or just flat out not care if they lose. Transformers are relatively easy to train they arent GANs, the bottleneck is hardware and OpenAI has those bits sorted out.
On top of the collective punishment and other war crimes committed en masse, the aim to make Gaza unlivable for the people living there has been repeated by several Israeli politicians by now and even more importantly matches the actions of the IDF.

Are you implying that genocide has necessarily to do with wanting to exterminate a so-called "race"? It does not. From Wikipedia:

> In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group.

The category of "Arabs" is therefore irrelevant. And moreover that's you counting people as that monolithic category, not the affected individuals doing it. How great "Arabs" have it somewhere else for whatever irrelevant reason doesn't help a person in Gaza, or justify crimes against humanity on them, just because they're "also Arabs". They are individual persons with names and all that.

When last did you go through a round of job interviews?

The world seems crazy about algorithms as a must-know thing to get a job.

Built large scale projects? Built production teams that can tackle any problem? Deeply understand the process of delivering value quickly without defects?

Doesn't matter. Show me how you would do a binary search. Show me that you know the whole API for our weird stack. Show me that you know how to do a systems design on a white board of a webcrawler or twitter.

Once you've done that you can do one-liner bug fixes on this legacy system that breaks routinely because we have no idea what we are doing.
I don't expect to buy another Chromebook after I found out mine had planned obsolescence. After a certain date it would no longer update.

Yes, you are technically correct on containers. However, macOS does have native support for Linux VMs (via the Hypervisor / VM frameworks) and then that Linux VM guest has native support for containers. So essentially macOS still provides a gateway to something akin to WSL on Windows, and that’s how tools like podman and docker work, via a Linux VM. (I am over-simplifying, of course.)

Yes, that's what groups campaigning on issues do, something we allow in democratic and free societies. Asking questions? How terrible!

Funny how a corporation can be relentless and aggressive in its expansion with no regard for other parts of society though.
> I suspect this will be like the claims recording music would kill off musicians since up to then music was live. If anything, it expanded music by making it available cheaply and easily to more people.

Err. It expanded the music industry. It did not expand music. Arguably, it killed music just as people feared. All the money and attention is focused on the top 1% artists who make 77% of the money[1], while other artists have to also get a "real job". The only reason many of my favourite artists make music at all is because they're subsidized by the Canadian government[2].

Think about the effect on innovation when every local garage band with a fresh sound has to "compete" with U2 and The Rolling Stones (and their multi-million marketing budgets). This is the kind of consolidation that the likes of Walmart or Amazon can only dream of.

> That's an extremely narrow definition of the community in my opinion

It is extremely narrow, simply because that's the narrow definition that's relevant here. The gp was discussing whether or not it would be used - the people responsible for the decision to use it are... the people in the community making said decision.

This isn't a subjective debate on the definition of the word community. This isn't about excluding people on merit. It's just literally a discussion of who's going to make or break adoption.

I'm not sure what point you think you're making talking about users caring about coreutils - ultimately that depends on those users being engaged in the decision-making process.

Alpine is btw an excellent example - one can make a good argument that that example supports adoption of this Rust rewrite. The only point I was contributing is simply that Android is an extremely bad example to use in such an argument.
Social media addiction is a meme (in the technical, mind virus sense), gambling addiction isn't.

I don't know if this is what the study authors were thinking, but I see it as a bit like not taking people's word for it that they're gluten intolerant.

One of the inspirations for Rust, as I recall, was Cyclone: https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/

Which was/is a "safe" dialect of C; basically C extended with a bunch of the stuff that made it into Rust (algebraic datatypes, pattern matching, etc.) Though its model of safety is not the borrow checker model that Rust has.

Always felt to me like something like Cyclone would be the natural direction for OS development to head in, as it fits better with existing codebases and skillsets.

In any case, I'm happy to see this stuff happening in Rust.
I wonder how that would compare to randomly evicting something.

I don't understand why all the arguments around frontend stacks on the web are treated with such dogma - it's a tradeoff space! You can send JSON, HTML, or whatever, but it depends on _what you are building_. The decision about what tools to use is nuanced, and difficult, and most importantly vastly depends on the context of what you are trying to accomplish.
Doubtful. As a privacy advocate of 15+ years, pretty much nobody cares about privacy. When you describe to them in detail how invasive their Amazon products and twitter/facebook are, they get very uncomfortable and don't like it, but they just continue to buy/use those products so it really doesn't matter. I've had people (not on HN but fairly tech literate) say they use Apple for privacy reasons but then had major misunderstandings about that (i.e. they assumed that an app on the app store must be privacy respecting because Apple reviews them, or that Apple themselves don't collect lots of first-party data, etc). So I doubt AI is going to make a big difference.
RISC-V is a real free, worldwide standard for a modern and good enough ISA, and that changes everything, namely "moving forward" is not going to be the same than in a legacy context with those locked, non free ISAs.

Preprocessing does matter because it would be pointless to get rid of the compiler complexity to get instead preprocessing complexity.

For instance x86_64 assembler fasmg has the most powerful preprocessor out there.... because the assembler is actually written using this preprocessor language! So it is very easy to "slip" and to end up using excessively this prepropressor to actually write assembly code which is not an assembler!
