> Static linking gives you better instruction cache utilization as you are executing local code linearly rather than going through indirection with more boilerplate.

No, it does not, it worsens it.

For example, «strlen», if it comes from a dynamic library, will be loaded into the physical memory once and only once, and it will be mapped into each process's address space as many times as there are processes. Since «strlen» is a very frequently used function, there is a very high chance that the page will remain resident in memory for a very long time, and since the physical page is resident in memory, there is also a very good chance that the page will remain resident at least in the L2 cache, but – depending on circumstances – in the L1 cache, too. A TLB flush might not even be necessary in specific circumstances, which is a big performance win. It is a 1:N scenario.

With the static linking, on the other hand, if there are 10k processes in the system, there will be 10k distinct pages containing «strlen» loaded into memory at 10k random addresses. It is a M:N scenario. Since the physical memory pages are now distinct, the context switching will nearly always require the TLB to be flushed out which is costly or very costly, and more frequent L1/L2 cache invalidations due to «strlen» now residing at 10k distinct physical memory addresses.

P.S. I am aware that C compilers now inline «strlen» so there is no actual function call, but let's pretend that it is not inlined for the sake of the conversation.

Whether it finds what’s defined as misconduct (or not) is irrelevant. It’s dragnet surveillance: there are inevitably false positives ex picked up.

When I was in high school in the 80s, there was a designated outside area that was the student smoking zone. The school newspaper office was over it and we would occasionally fire paperclips at them with rubber band slingshots. We talked about but never actually did throw water balloons down there, mostly because it seemed likely to result in violent retribution (the paper clips rarely hit their marks or garnered any reaction if they did).

One of my teachers smoked in his classroom during the lunch break and when we came into the room (we had him right after lunch), the room positively reeked of cigarette smoke. Young folks today have no idea just how wild the twentieth century was.
> I think both routes are fine.

I think we need both, and thus why we have things like capstones and whatnot. And I see no problems sending students to good bootcamps for that matter. But see, particularly software engineering is much more than tools, languages, and whatnot. And as for CS, for instance the lack of proper education about ML, statistics, and math in general is behind many of today's problems, I'd argue.
The good routes have lots of competition. Although you can probably bump the average ticket price up a bit for non-economy class. Also you'll get significant revenue from freight.
Yes and Bluetooth.

In those cases it's not used to make detection harder though but to be more resilient against interference.

> The point is that you've got a choice.

Supposing I want to release a free, personal hobby project, app that uses some private APIs in iOS, to solve some long-standing usability or feature-gap within iOS, then no, I don't have a choice: I don't have an option at all: I can't release it in the Apple-run iOS App Store becuase it uses Private APIs, and I can't release it in a third-party App Store as a free app because I can't afford the "Core Technology" fee (despite paying my $99 annual fee to Apple, which they said (back in 2008) pays for the platform, SDK+DX) - that leaves me only with Cydia as my only option and a significantly reduced audience.

-----

Actually, this whole debacle has me wondering - does this mean that Apple thinks they have the right to shakedown developers in the Cydia ecosystem for their "Core Technology" fees too? If so, it's going to be hilarious to watch them try to actually do that; and because they'll be unsuccessful, does that mean that other developers (using something-other-than-Cydia) can tell Apple to pound-sand as they have no moral-right to the rent they're seeking?

>"so the invasion was justified on that basis"

Bullshit. There was nothing in the resolution that called for war. The most it had said was in tune of - you must comply and if you don't we will report you. No particular enforcement.

the resolution is here - https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N02/682/26/PDF...

>"it was never firmly established as illegal"

Really? It was an act of aggression. It is illegal by definition unless the UN had explicitly decided otherwise which I believe it did not.
Some company?
I think it's perfectly reasonable to complain about unequal enforcement.

My workplace has a "smoking area" dedicated to drug use, and allows "smoke breaks" for the sole purpose of consuming said drugs. We have places called "bars" that exist for the sole purpose of taking drugs in public.

Are we actually giving these students equal opportunities to consume it legally, or are we saying "you're a prisoner for 8 hours, and we're going to abuse that authority to deny you any access to your perfectly legal recreational activities during that period"?

If we're going to crack down and say kids should go 8 hours without drugs, shouldn't we be OK enforcing that on the adults in the workplace, too?

Why are we holding these students to a higher standard? Why are we spending thousands of dollars on enforcing the rules for students, and nothing on the rest of society?
So 0.08-0.09%?

> I guess it gets back to equilibrium with outside temperature in a few hours once AC is turned off.

I've been in houses where we shut the windows as soon as possible after sunrise, as temperatures started increasing, and the house never caught up with the outside temperature - it was cooler all afternoon, cooler until sundown. No AC needed.

I think that tactic might work well generally. Just let in the cool air at night, shut the windows and trap it. At least you can save a good part of the day's AC. It's obvious, free, and simple, but I never see it discussed.

This is a cool technique, but it will cost you more TLB misses, which are pretty expensive. For most software, you can get it to run 10-20% faster just by reducing TLB misses by 99% using 2MB pages. I speculate that the reason this is not often done is that the feature is basically unusable on Windows.
Far and away the greatest opposition to abortion is religious in nature. Certainly other groups might oppose it for varying reasons but they are an extreme minority.

I would even venture to say that those other groups oppose it in part because of cultural effects of religious ethics infecting the rest of society.
Agree completely. We shouldn’t invest much effort in finding violators or enforcing statutes that prevent no real harm.

So rather than introducing the equivalent of chewing gum bans like Singapore did, let’s move on.

> The state was created by western powers less than 100 years ago

That's not entirely accurate at all.
There was indeed a UN decision to partition the land and to acknowledge Israel, but no one was enforcing it. The Arabs and Jews were left to battle it out in a horrible war. Jews were facing the real possibility of a second extermination only 3 years after the holocaust (I don't think I'm exaggerating the consequences of what defeat would have looked like had the Jews lost that war).

The British policy towards Jews in Palestine was not consistent at all, and at a certain point they sided with the Arabs and banned Jewish immigration to Palestine - even at the height of the holocaust.

I think there's a context gap here. They are referring to congress on average. But the median congress member does not beat SPY. The distribution is highly heterogeneous. Even just looking at number of transactions, half of each party's transactions are performed by a single member of that party.

So to translate:

> Congress consistently outperforms professional traders

to

> The average performance of members of congress is higher than that of professional traders.

This does not mean a specific member outperforms a specific trader. Though there are specific members who consistently have a performance level that is higher than top traders. Which should beg the question of why these people have such high "skill" levels. This also does not mean there aren't congressional members who lost money in the market (there were 19 actually).

It is racist to zero in on a specific ethno-religous group and say that they in particular are unable to maintain a functioning democracy accommodating of certain minorities. It is the sort of crap that colonial Europe did to justify the horrors of the colonial period.
Smoking wasn't banned on planes till 1985. You had smoking and non-smoking sections, but they were only separated by a curtain, same with restaurants.

Edit, it was even worse:

> In 1988, airlines based in the United States banned smoking on domestic flights of less than two hours, which was extended to domestic flights of less than six hours in February 1990, and to all domestic and international flights in 2000
So now it's right on to a woldwide class action with all the claimants who went through the process of loosing an account with all the lost media and history and emotional damages due to "computer says No" ? I know a few people who would love to jump on that.
You make it sounds like this is a victimless crime, but it is not. It creates a nuisance for other people, and possibly even a health hazard for some. For example, many workplaces and elevators have signs prohibiting wearing perfume and cologne, yet according to your argument, it's all a totally legal substance with no secondhand effects on anyone else.

I'm a rep at a big SaaS firm - no one says "OTC", whatever that is. It's OTE. Also, literally no sales org would ever weight an AE's comp more towards base and a VP's comp more towards variable - everyone is on a 50/50 split, and if anything the VP would have more guaranteed comp. No discussion of RSUs or options? Furthermore, I have never in my life seen a plan that withholds the final quintile of variable comp - that sounds horrifying and no experienced, high-quality rep would work at a place like that.

Jason Lemkin's blogposts and videos on sales compensation are way more accurate than this.
MCAS isn't an issue from a software perspective; it does what it's supposed to do, the issue was that its existence was not communicated to pilots, somewhat intentionally, out of a misplaced assertion that the 737-MAX should not require any additional type rating (i.e. to save money). In other words it was a business management failure.

Why is it so hard to understand that market pressure will affect you indirectly.

Monopolies are harmful to even those who will never step outside Apple's walled garden... The mere threat from the EU, and anti-trust hearings in the US has already benefitted you by reducing the commission from 30% to 17% for apps with revenue under $1M.
Israel is the one who's going to build it. See, the approach is the following: eliminate Hamas, then start a sort of deprogramming the society, similar to what was happening in Germany, with local specifics of course. Such an approach will take years, but the goal is to have the same effects as in Germany.

It's possible to provide food, water, services while keeping a close eye on the Gaza population and ensuring the idea of peaceful cohabitation is dominant. The economy will slowly - or even not so slowly - rebuild, and that's a part of the demonstration of possible and beneficial, from some positions, approach.
Can you go in to more detail about that? Are any larger pages usable on windows?
It's kafkaesque. This happens when part of a system cannot successfully communicate with another part of the system to resolve problems, whether that's unintentional or design.

I’m seeing a lot of people suggest your POV about it being a small business is invalid in some way.

I worked in non-profits, founded a few, and had several social entrepreneurship startups over two decades.

You are completely correct and almost all successful non-profit leaders would agree with you. There are differences, yes, but those are mostly additional challenges like volunteer management.

Generally you could ask for advice of Board members or directors of other non-profits. You’ll learn quickly that large non-profits are competent fundraisers. Small ones may be competent problem solvers, but they are plagued with all the problems of small organizations in general. They are not good at fundraising.

Fundraising is a long climb, almost entirely a marketing challenge, and requires an organic appeal to High Net Worth Individuals.

If a non-profit is not a successful fundraising organization, it must be an effective organizational one. Sometimes you can just outwork the problem.

Your experience as a volunteer is not unique and you learned a valuable lesson - the real problem most non-profits struggle with solving is how to function at all.

Sometimes the cause and the community around it makes it worth it. Not every cause needs a well organized institution to coordinate action that makes a difference.

But if you serve on the front lines you quickly learn the shocking degree to which that is not the case. If you serve multiple non-profits or speak to other super volunteers you learn it is common.

I don’t mean to be negative, many people do have a great impact through non-profits. But in general, the non-profits that are small and thrive (even if they struggle) are run by a deeply passionate founder who is constantly loaning it money and fundraising over holidays.

Just like you wouldn’t offer to help a non-profit without some level of skill, I’d suggest giving yourself the gift of finding an organization with leadership that has the skills to lead.

It’s so easy to get lost in the drama instead of directing the precious hours you have to give towards the reason you are volunteering in the first place.

Good luck!

> you can enable root access

One may be able to get root, but the resulting system isn't very useful. Many apps query Google's attestation and integrity APIs to detect this and then refuse to function.

Basically it's a thing of the past.
> ISIS was defeated in Iraq by a U.S.-led coalition

Yeah and who defeated them in Syria? There were two coalitions. French/US led and Syria/Iran led.

> The PLO was willing to negotiate and Hamas is not.

In 2014, in a meeting in the UAE post war, Hamas encouraged PLO to reach a political arrangement with Israel on 67 borders. Then in 2017, ratified their charter again to make that point clear. In 2021, Hamas offered to join the PLO and conduct elections, which almost happened only for Israel to not let East Jerusalem residents vote.

> subsequently started a massive civil war

US and Israel encouraged a coup by Fatah by arming and training the Presidential Guard in opposition to Hamas.

> Israel and Ramallah have not

Israel has razed Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nablus just this past month with over 50+ dead.

PA is a puppet with bare minimum control over economy, trade, and security of its own people.

But realistically, you don't hire 35 developers; you also need designers, product managers, engineering managers, etc.

> I would say it’s because the Haskell community is too arrogant and pretentious.

That by itself is only a cause. What's the effect, what's the symptom of this attitude, what are the practical observable results? Gatekeeping? Rude forum responses? (I know OCaml partially suffered from that and they can be fairly elitistic; when you ask something fairly normal nowadays like "what's the preferred package manager?" or "how do you build a project?" is sometimes met with smartass responses like "what's a project?")

> Rust is a breath of fresh air.

I feel the same, the community is extremely pragmatic. I've met a few a-holes but they were a very, very rare exception. 99% of everyone I interacted with was just like me: they were looking how to get the job done AND write idiomatic and efficient code.
