Why are we shipping software that’s hard on the outside and soft on the inside? We know our customers have employees that will be socially engineered. Heck, let’s not be smug, “we” have employees that will be too.
What’s important is that no matter if it’s 52:48 or 92:8, the losing side don’t lose everything. In the case of NI leaving the U.K., all NI citizens who want to should be able to retain their U.K. citizenship, in the case of the U.K. leaving the EU the same should have applied, and the same with Scotland, Catalonia, Texas etc.

I would be no happier with brexit had the result been 80:20 to leave, but if the 20% could have retained their EU citizenship it would have made things far more palatable.
I'm glad this exists. Now I can follow a guided course into advanced topics at my own pace. I've always wanted to have a career as a Compiler Engineer, but sadly, where I live doesn't offer much in terms of education and job opportunities. Looking at the USA, the job market is overwhelmingly competitive, and I honestly don't know how to get into it. The only experience I have is a course I did during my Bachelor's, and I loved every bit of it.
Yes, but it's changed a lot in 30 years.

Didn’t use an original Macintosh, but I used a Mac Plus. It was pretty typical to turn your computer off between uses. This optimization was very valuable.
Compilers seem a great target for AI. Whole program optimisation using reinforcement learning could be massive, there's plenty of data, and collecting more data is relatively cheap. The course touches on superoptimisers but these don't really use AI. I think a change is coming in this space

I agree. I spent countless of hours on Encarta. The interactive experiences, the 360° maps, even the small quiz games were a beautiful way to learn and discover new things.

Wikipedia has way more content, but not this kind of things. I wonder if there is a way to curate such content in a crowdsourced way, however.
Yeah I don’t disagree. But on the whole I think it gets you a long way towards it without the cons of having two devices for example.

It doesn’t seem hard to attribute 1/5 commit in a PR to another person. Then you publish it, no one checks out the individual commits (because that’s how forges are like in my experience), and it gets merged because the 2,000 line diff “LGTM”.

I don’t really have belief in the processes of these corporate environment unless the auditing is given on a silver platter.

Meanwhile on email: people get an email per patch, where the commit message part has to contain a `From:` line in order to override the email-is-author behavior.

PS: There is a utility to giving commit authorship to someone else. Someone sends me the change through a DM. I commit it. Did I author it? No, so I give that to them. Not an exotic use-case at all of this seemingly nefarious feature.
Doctors are navigating interactions in large parts by database lookups anyway - there are websites where you enter drugs and get a list of possible interactions. Those could be made available to patients too (the one I saw a doctor in my family using is provided by some medical website and softly gated "for doctors use only").

This economic projection-simplification doesn’t sound right to me.

Even if $1M gets you a successful attack, doesn’t mean that the next $1M will. A strong security culture patches up holes and reduces the surface area and damage radius over time.

I agree there’s a ton of snake oil. Most of it is. I agree that actors like Google and Apple also have 0days and will continue to have them. However, there’s still a massive difference between not giving a shit and a strong security posture. Some industries (most?) are in the former camp. They’re the ones who grinds to a halt from WannaCry and friends.
Nice article, fun reading; brings back many memories.

That was the first processor we used for our exercises at ETH Zurich in the eighties. I remember well that there was actually no real introduction and we students were just supposed to know how to program the 6809 on assembler level from one day to the other. At that moment, the students were split into two camps; some of them bought and devoured books about the 6809 to make up for the lack of lectures; others threw computer engineering to the wind and tried their luck with traditional electrical engineering; fortunately, I made it to the former. Shortly afterwards, I started building digital musical instruments.
One major difference is that most people, at some financial burden, can choose to change insurance providers whereas in many countries with universal systems (single-payer or otherwise) the government guidelines for what the national service or insurance providers must pay for or not tends to be more consistent across the board.

For instance, this is a struggle for people in many European countries who would benefit from access to specific psychiatric prescriptions which are either not prescribed except after trying various cheaper options or are not even approved because of the potential cost to the government, while the same drug is often available in the US (ranging from $10-hundreds a month, as is typical in the US). Public healthcare in at least California sounds more comparable to the universal single-payer systems I’ve seen in its relative inflexibility.

Ever heard of the 27 club [0]?

On the night Amy Winehouse died, within an hour of her passing the
media was inundated with wailing retrospectives. All of them had
obviously been produced months or years in advance as often is done
for Royals in expectation of a "celebrity death".

Amy's career always had the last chapter already written.

I watched the whole agonising show on television. Between each
carefully arranged segment were advertisements for Gordon's Gin,
Smirnov Ice and product placements for all manner of alcohol, gambling
and drug paraphernalia.

The entertainments media literally led her to the Wicker Man [1,2] and
lit the fire.

Edit: good taste requires I add original Edward Woodward version of Wicker Man

This is whataboutism.

Some sort of system which detects prescription abuse should not be deployed over utility poles in low income neighborhoods. It should be deployed where abuse is happening, for instance in pharmacy computers etc.

Also "white billionaire" part is low key racist against blacks. They are "incidentally" whites billionaire criminals, they can as well be black billionaire criminals, unless there's a fundamental difference in criminal tendencies among races.
You can look at some of the videos from the music machine museum that now has the second marble machine and has been working on making it actually work. Basically it was 90% done but missing the other 90%. It was far too unreliable to get through one song still let alone a whole show:

> The belief at Sun that only Sun could make good use of its own technologies, and anything created outside of Sun was trash.

Exactly my impression during the OpenSolaris time.

Every time criticism of Sun's open source strategy was raised, people seemed in disbelief that Sun! could be doing anything bad. They were sacred.

It is written in a general way to catch all problems going into the future. The problem is translating this to case law. Often judges ask the question "Is this bad for the consumer?" If rents are rising faster than inflation with more consumers becoming homeless citing cost of rent while vacancy rates are increasing, the market is bad for the consumer and the country.

That would require removing the zoning restrictions that prevent the construction of new housing.

But here's the rub: if you remove those restrictions, you don't need to change the taxes. Even with current taxes, people will build more housing units, if they're allowed to and they can make money from it.
No. Collusion requires agreement among the parties to not compete. Sure they copy but no one is forcing you to stay at the company or accept the new job offer. You walk to somewhere that does meet your ask or negotiate.

It's collision when companies agree to not compete.
Did you mean to correct the number or the unit? Because a lowercase b generally refers to bits not Bytes already
This course single-handedly became the reason for me to clear interviews at all the compiler engineering teams of MANGA (Meta, Apple, NVIDIA, Google, Amazon) companies when I was searching for my first full-time job while completing my Bachelors. My University's (University of Waterloo) curriculum around low-level computing systems was already par excellent, and of'course I was also contributing to open source compiler projects. But this course really helped me answer some of the toughest questions during my interviews!
It has a more descriptive and clickbaity title too, which I appreciate, and probably why it has fewer upvotes.
I don't have the details behind these numbers, but I wonder if the conclusion is sound? Like, a lot of people who die of sickness die in a hospital. I don't think that means that they are doing a poor job.

That's weird. The map at the top of the article (top left pic under "Worlds Biggest Airport") has the country outlined to show the location.

However, the country they've outlined is Syria, not Saudi Arabia. Wrong country.

Well, I guess this is why The Sun has such a poor reputation for accuracy. :(
Simple: the big players will need to compete again. They can charge high rates but they will face high vacancy in the face of nearby housing units interested in low vacancy.
Ask HN: How to go from a good engineer to a great one?
After about 8 years as a software engineer, I've noticed significant growth in my skills, from grappling with messy code to crafting cleaner solutions, and from struggling with documentation to confidently delving into library source code. I've broadened my expertise across application, frontend, and backend development. However, over the past 2-3 years, I've encountered a roadblock. I find myself unable to progress further or delve into advanced topics. This stagnation has led me to undervalue my accomplishments and feel demotivated about further learning. I often admire individuals who can independently create remarkable tools, scale products from a few users to millions, and rapidly develop and deploy software within a week.

Has anyone else experienced a similar feeling of being stuck? Any advice on how to overcome this hurdle and continue progressing?

PS: And yes I asked GPT to format my question. So that's the reason it sounds robotic, its not bot spam.

I'm not well versed in compiler design or implementation. But it seems to me that the target of compilers (machine code, assembly, etc.) has changed dramatically over time. The number of instructions and options on each successive processor generation seems to offer new optimizations or combinations for compilers.
Because, arguably, vast majority of people - in other words, public opinion, or vast majority of voters - don't understand that healthcare has to ration scarce resources too. Healthcare being a right is a nice, feel-good slogan, but does little to address resource scarcity or system inefficiency.

Were either of those real possibilities on Jan 6th? Did the people charged even think they were?

It was quite clear, even to them I imagine, that they didn't have "a force that can actually perform revolution".
You dismiss a lot of modern technologies as "unnecessarily complicated", you advocate for reinventing the wheel coming across with a very "I know better" attitude.

For example you create your own bundler, when modern bundlers are very mature and good.

For example you dismiss SSR as unnecessary and then basically roll your own. You dismiss modern frameworks out of hand then list performance improvements they can make for you (e.g. keeping state in html).

Your last two performance improvements are about not taking drugs???

I'm really pro people doing things themselves for fun and all that but this article and you comment comes across as so arrogant and condescending whilst also seeming to show ignorance (or at least willful dismissal) of exactly where modern JavaScript development is at, and present it as state of the art performance improvements.
That's not what the op is asking for, iframes are in their own self-contained context.
Former HFT dev here. Know fundamentals: sources of performance issues = things that eat/waste CPU cycles, things that reach too far down the memory hierarchy. Usually the latter. E.g. L2 cache to RAM - order of magnitude slower; RAM to disk: 4+ orders of magnitude slower.

Things that eat CPU: iterations, string operations. Things that waste CPU: lock contentions in multi-threaded environments, wait states.

You can usually build a lot of the understanding from first principles starting there. Back in the day we had to do this because there wasn't much by way of readily available literature on the subject. Actual techniques will depend or evolve based on your choice of platform or version.

E.g. 20 years ago, we used to create object pools in C++ at load time to avoid Unix heap locks at runtime. This may no longer be necessary. 15(ish?) years ago, JNI was used when the JVM wasn't fast enough for certain stuff. This is no longer necessary. 10 years ago, immutable JS objects were thought to be faster because the JS runtimes at the time were slower to mutate existing objects than to create new ones. This too, may no longer be true (I haven't checked recently). Until very recently, re-rendering with virtual DOM diffing was considered more performant than direct, incremental DOM manipulation. This too, may no longer be true.

Not sure how it would have any concerns greater than importing JavaScript files.
Your information regarding push seem outdated - both statements are NOT true. Since iOS 16.4 you can deliver push notifications even when the PWA is not actively in use. You need, however, to have the website added to the home screen (=PWA install in iOS world). I use both features on lockmeout.online - which core functionality is based on delivering push notifications on the lock screen. You need however to give permission/configure lockscreen notifications as with any other (non-PWA) app.
Do you have some papers to back up the claims that price fixing doesn't work?
Addendum: never forget Amdahl's Law. And never forget Knuth's full quote:

“Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.” - Donald E.

Makes sense from that perspective. Thanks for taking the time to clarify
As another anecdote, I found relocating to Germany rather straightforward. There definitely was paperwork to be done, but it was well defined and easy enough to file (even if it was old-fashioned as Germany tends to be with bureaucracy).
The biggest reason is because it is a recent ambition.

The US Navy on the other hand had to fight the Philippine-American War in 1899.

There is also no point in talking about forces in separation. There is a unification with the air force.

To me, to really understand the US Military, look up the B-2 spirit videos on youtube and look up the 4.5 megaton explosion video on youtube.

The full fleet of B-2 spirit have about 116 of 4 megaton explosions. These are 1 megaton bombs though so they have 400+ of those. 400 megaton bombs being dropped by an invisible UFO.

Then force projection to do what? Invade the US? We have enough guns to arm every man, woman and child in the US. It is estimated there are 12 billion rounds of ammunition sold in the US every year.

It is fun to talk about these things in the abstract but all out war with the US is basically delusional. The PLA has done an amazing job of catch up but to surpass the US you have to become the most deadly unified force that has ever existed. That is no easy task and Americans love war. There is not that many years in America's existence that it was not involved in war in some way.

It's "par excellence", and it feels weird in that sentence structure anyways. A better way to put it would've been "my university has the low level computing systems curriculum par excellence".

I, unfortunately, take a bunch of prescriptions and had literally no problems over the last week. I even had a new prescription sent to pharmacy, filled, and processed by insurance.

I’m sure this is bad for those affected, but the prescription market does not seem “hamstrung” to me.
