We're deep in a ridiculous scenario here, but the answer is that, yes, this would result in a safe program, provided that it never calls malloc() from a signal handler (since that would deadlock if the interrupted code had already grabbed the lock/mutex/semaphore/whatever).

In any other scenario, if some execution thread reaches the point where it returns from calling lock() on the mutex guarding malloc(), it must eventually reach the call to unlock().
The wildest cosmic mystery the James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered
> I haven’t seen particularly persuasive evidence that unions can do more than make everyone collectively equal, which implies that everyone in X industry would be paid the same, or based on seniority rather than merit. Not my cup of tea, but I’m also privileged not to have chosen a field suffering from a surplus of labor.

It sounds like you actually have a wildly incorrect view of how unions can and do work. you may want to do some more reading and research. For example, the WGA and SAG unions do not pay based on seniority nor does everyone make the same. They do mandate minimums for certain kinds of work but that’s about it. They also have rules about what the studios can and can’t do.

That being said, it probably does come at the cost of fewer people being able to find employment than the talent pool exists but it’s hard to measure / support that claim considering there’s more actors and writers now than ever before.
Not the OP, but perhaps because they live in a country where the gov blocks lots of useful websites, or they want to see public broadcast material (Eg pbs/bbc) from other countries, or because their ISP sells barely anonymised data to 3rd parts in bulk and on the cheap.
No but that's what defcon was for. Things like a mass preemptive strike don't come out of the blue but out of an ongoing conflict. The idea was that it would be more or less expected.

And ICBMs these days are all solid fueled, I don't think they need much preparatory time.
I think you're talking about doing denormalization before importing data into an OLAP system to avoid subsequent joins. However, this greatly limits the flexibility of data modeling. Moreover, denormalization can be a headache-inducing process. In fact, I have tested StarRocks (https://github.com/StarRocks/starrocks), and it is capable of performing joins while streaming data imports, and the speed is very fast. It's worth giving it a try.
Maybe I should make the obvious reason more explicit. If you have something designed to operate on 120V and plug it into a 240V outlet, there will be safety issues. It might even catch on fire. So the two voltages have to use different outlet and plug shapes for safety reasons. An outlet is not “randomly” going to be one voltage or the other because that would be a terrible idea.

And yes, the 240V outlets are set up for heavy appliances rather than small countertop appliances. Remember, we were talking about washing machines and dishwashers, and the claim that European appliances don’t need to consume hot water because they have 230V circuits. American appliances have 240V circuits and they still consume hot water so that’s not a satisfying explanation.

It’s true that Americans don’t plug electric kettles into a 240V plug. There are a few reasons for that:

* Americans generally prefer coffee to tea. So the tea kettle is usually a lower priority in an American household compared to a British one.

* Stovetop tea kettles and microwaves are both perfectly fine at boiling water. Are they as optimal? Maybe not but it’s not a priority. (Microwaves might be just as fast actually.)

* Electric kettles work totally fine on a 120V circuit anyway. I have one. Is it as fast as it would be on a 240V circuit? No, but it’s not a priority. We probably make up the time difference by having faster dishwashers and washing machines that consume hot water in addition to using 240V power.
A simple excel-like model to understand this would clear up many confused comments.

I'd say there's no issue with writing such code, so long as it's protected by a compile-time assertion.

That said, if you use a variable-width integer type (`char`, `short`, `int`, `long`, `long long`) instead of a fixed-width type (`int32_t` & such) for anything other than passing parameters to existing libraries (including the standard library) I'd say you're Doing It Wrong. If you actually intend to have a variable-width, use one of the `_least` or `_fast` types to make it clear that you didn't just screw up.

His ideas had gained a certain acceptance. That meant is was time to hone, to refine, to heap on the nuance.

While I personally believe in so-called super determinism (really just determinism), an obvious implication is that we don't have a choice in whether we believe in anything, or how we react to anything. Therefore, to the extent that you're able to make a choice about how to behave given that knowledge (which is to say, not at all), you'd might as well choose to behave as if you are able to make choices. Then if you're wrong about free will, you don't act erroneously. If you're right, you never had the option to choose how to act on that belief anyway.

I think the only way this design could deadlock is if a signal handler calls malloc() -- specifically, if the interrupted code on that CPU thread was partway through a malloc() call of its own, having locked the mutex but not yet unlocked it.

In any other scenario, if some execution thread reaches the point where it returns from calling lock() on the mutex guarding malloc(), it must eventually reach the call to unlock().
Yes, that is why I defined it as "This is like a collective action problem."

I understand where you’re coming from but the thing to understand is: most startups are incredibly marginal to begin with. If you tilt the field such that the entire distribution is now ~5-6% lower expected value for any given outcome, you can easily wipe out 80%+ of the startups that might’ve been “worth trying” but don’t make any sense now on a risk-adjusted basis. The entire asset class can become unfundable because the same money taking the same level of risk simply generates more returns elsewhere
> They're there because they want to be, and many/most/(all?) could find gainful employment in an adjacent industry or field where they'd have better pay.

This isn't actually true. Occasionally animators can pivot to UI or graphic design, for example, but often times not. Animation is fairly specialized.
> there are trustable sources like BBC

The BBC may have been trustworthy at some point, but that's a thing of the past.

Here's a well known example of them purposely deceiving their viewers in meaningful ways in recent history (sic).

Fortunately they were called out for it:

Note that this trend isn’t always downwards - upgrading from rdna2 to 3 or from intel CPUs to AMD CPUs could result in increased idle power, sometimes significantly so. Things like higher PCIe lane configurations, higher generation/transfer rate, or higher memory channel count/frequency are likely going to represent higher power expenditures at all levels. PCIe 5.0 is a very fast link (a PCIe 5.0 channel is about equivalent to a DDR5 memory channel) and the trend is already upwards in terms of PCIe 4.0 requiring much more than PCIe 3.0. And turning the link speed down doesn't mean you get all the power back either.

(From what I remember, ASPM is sometimes still a mess especially with consumer chips with their own frequency transitions and OC'd fabric/System Agents, and devices don't all wake up reliably all the time and return to high-power state, so iirc the enthusiast advice is "it's only a couple watts, it's a hassle, leave it off". I fear this may become "it's a hassle and it's also a significant power expenditure". I hope it's improved like other frequency transition things. :\)

Also, just in general, the product focus on efficiency varies between vendors. NUCs are quite efficient, because they put a lot of focus into it to win those corporate contracts back in the day. A random minisforum mini pc probably is less efficient than an old nuc. Connectx-5 is much less efficient than connectx-4 even when running at lower pcie speeds. Ssds generally pull much more power than the HDDs they replaced, and pcie5 pulls much more than pcie4 which pulls much more than PCIe 3. Most laptop or other power bricks don't hit 80+ cert and if you are switching off a fancy brick that does, you'll use more. Etc.

Not saying you didn’t look at it, but you have to look at it specifically and newer is not automatically better, sometimes product tiers increase over time too. And it’s certainly always a product-by-product thing. The exact way products are built or cut down doesn't just matter for performance, it affects power too.
The settlers / pioneers thing is one of the oldest tropes in existence.

The truth is there is no formula for generations of employees anymore than there is a formula that makes sure startups are successful, and each type of startup requires different talent at different times and as their markets transition and they transition to meet them.

This is useful for building a framework that facilitates making changes which is beyond important in a startup.

Too often, one sees companies limited by the founding SVP of operations or whatever who was fantastic at 10 people, good at 25, but not scaling well at 100, but they are so locked in you can’t change things. Being able to change things as you discover customer and scaling needs is the real secret: and staying laser focused on serving that customer demand whatever “generations” are required of it no matter what arbitrary management theory you apply.

After all the main reasons companies fail is product market fit failure or a failure to adapt to a changing and maturing market, not whether they cycled through three generations of people or whatever on the way to get there.
Not that old. Only when Impeller was enabled by default last year did Flutter become usable on ios.
> They enumerate three basic liberties: namely, “the freedom to move, the freedom to disobey and the freedom to create or transform social relations.”

This doesn't seem like a practical basis for society. It would seem to permit somebody to wander around, raping and killing, freely disobeying any social prohibitions. On the other hand, it doesn't guarantee any access to the resources that you'd need to survive, not even a bit of land for growing your own food and building a shelter.

It rather means that case operations are locale-specific. This is indeed unfortunate, as Unicode tried hard to split characters that look same or similar but have different behaviors like that, but inevitable because Turkish (among others) is otherwise using normal Latin characters. In the other words, Turkish speakers are unconsciously mixing Turkish `i` and normal Latin `i` in their texts and there is no way to separate them after the fact [1].

Before making conclusions about animator wages being due to lack of this or that, please watch this informative video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iExwO1v_V-s
It covers a point that I am not seeing the discussion here, about the role that anime production committees play in the wages of animators and gatekeeping in the industry in general. This channel has other informative videos on the subject as well.
I find that I'm becoming really averse to this sort of content. It's popular because it has a level of truth to it, but it's a tiny sliver of truth that leaves out a much larger picture. That's true of a lot of quippy, attention optimized content, and I don't think all of it is bad. But I read the responses to this post on X and I wonder what utility it actually provides. It seems like it's mainly acting as a vessel for peoples' feelings and past workplace traumas.
How do I find a startup with a gauranteed 7 figure exit?
People find reasons to kill each other in large numbers even when God is not involved, so why that as your chosen foil to humanity's otherworldly helicopter? It is important to me that people move beyond blaming God for things like this. There are many more, and much more recent as well, examples where if people cared to seek what God thought the entire conflict would've been avoided. For example...where was the dispute about God, say, between the Chinese and the Japanese fronts during World War 2? Or between the Nazis and the Red Army? It wasn't a disagreement about God that resulted in dropping the atom bombs to end conflicts of that scale, unless you would agree with me that the only disagreement was that America kept believing in God and her adversaries no longer did...in which case I'd then just say that fundamentally it was disbelief in God that led to WW2's horrors, not disagreements over which God is correct. God is exonerated in all cases.

This approach would be more respectful of the engineers who believe in God and who also contribute to projects like the space vehicles and probes or other impactful projects, and certainly more respectful of the great names in human history who are remembered for their contributions and noted also in the record for their love for God...

96-98 really, google rapidly ate their lunch after launching in the back end of '98.

I'll grant I remember still occasionally using altavista in 99, but google had very much become my primary search by then, and the same was true for pretty much everyone I knew.

I have a vague recollection of compaq closing it down shortly after buying it, then reopening it after some outcry - coinciding with it changing URLs from being the subdomain off digital.com.

Of course, Lycos, inktomi and others were all vying for attention around then too.

The point of the pi was for teaching computer science in educational settings.

Yep. The world generally felt for us after 9/11, and then the wars started and that really affected public perception. We invaded a country that had nothing to do with it and destabilized an entire region and didn’t find the guy that orchestrated the whole thing for an entire decade. All that along with torturing prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib made us look even worse.

Not to mention it really created an “us vs. them” environment in the American homeland which is still ever present if not getting worse.

I think Bin Laden was counting on “death by a thousand cuts” aka creeping normality and I believe that was largely successful. Americans seem to have partly turned on each other over political differences. People now have an even larger distrust of the institutions in this country. Empathy seems to have taken a sideline. I’ve seen families broken up and almost experienced it myself. People now spend so much time online in their echo chambers and sometimes refuse to even converse with “the other side”. This goes both ways.

With all of this happening I think of this part of Lincoln’s Lyceum Address:

“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
And if the investment pays off, so that the R&D creates revenue in future years after it's already been paid for, then it will result in actual taxable profit in those future years.

It seems like the IRS is trying to speculatively tax unrealized future profits here, and that's pretty unconscionable.

It's enabled for ios by default. Android probably in two more releases if I had to guess. If you were doing a lot of custom stuff you may run into issues with Impeller on some CPU bound tasks regarding tessellation but for a regular flutter app it will almost always outperform Skia especially around previous pain points like scrolling and animation.
They matter but not under the current system. Artists are a rarely paid profession, and there are professional artists out there but there’s now a huge amount of people that will never contact an artist for work that used to only be human powered. It’s not personal for me. I understand that desire to resist the inevitable but it’s here now.

For what it’s worth I never use midjourney or dalle or any of the commercial closed systems that steal from artists but I know I can’t stop the masses from going there and inputting “give me pretty picture in style x”

I just want to address point 1. It's true that the government is a big employer, but most of those jobs have really low salaries and according few working hours. 99% of those people have a second or third job. I find it an interesting system. The government job is their safety net, and acts almost like a basic income, which allows people to be more entrepreneurial. It would be interesting to study the effect of such a system on economic growth.

And I categorically disagree with you regarding your claim that the Maltese depend on the government to figure it out for them. The Maltese are in comparison to pretty much everyone in Europe, one of the most entrepreneurial and go-getter cultures who love to "do it themselves" and "figure it out".
If you want to see governments babysitting their citizens, go visit pretty much any N.W.E country.

What's true about the Maltese is that many have no qualms about bad mouthing their country in front of foreigners, which is also an almost unique trait compared to the rest of Europe. But I notice, it's mostly people who never left home who are the loudest bad mouthers.

Let me just say one more thing. We have one of the most amazing healthcare systems in the whole world. I have lived in all the most modern countries and have in my more than a decade abroad never experienced anything better. I don't know why people don't talk about it more. Probably because it exposes health insurance for the scam industry that it is. For the curious: we have an NHS style system which is amazing by itself because healthcare is one of the things that Maltese people are well trained in and care deeply about, and it's supported by a fully private industry of healthcare providers, which, because they are competing with "free" have comparatively low pricing. Compared to the absolute nightmare that is healthcare in Germany for example, it's an amazing system. I pretty much end up flying home for any treatment because waiting lists are way shorter than anywhere else and the staff much more professional.
