OH! I remember what this sounds like! This sounds like Brexit! People I spoke to said “it could go the other way”. Not only was it an impossibility, it was a prayer that the entire country could get lucky.

PGO can be used in such situations, but the profile needs to be checked in. Same code + same profile -> same binary (assuming the compiler is deterministic, which is tested quite extensively).

There are several big projects that use PGO (like Chrome), and you can get a deterministic build at whatever revision using PGO as the profiles are checked in to the repository.
I also thought "hang on a minute. Pompeii? As in volcano Pompeii?" but apparently the city was never flooded with lava, but rather ash, which was cooler than would melt iron (still fatally hot though).
When there is no experimental evidence for black holes, it makes perfect sense to be resistant/skeptical to new type of objects with solutions involving infinities (singularity). Whether that's being irrational or not is up to debate. I'd say that's a good prior when there is no data (as there wasn't at the beginning of 20th century).
I remember making shape tables manually in high school. Talk about a trip down memory lane.
Yeah.. old ruby have interesting build system. It first build miniruby with is
single selfcontained binary having all core ruby functionality. Then, it is used to run some more .rb build scripts to finaly make fully functional ruby.

Actyally that miniruby is pretty usefull. For basic stuff. Also, its very easy to build static ruby containing all extra stuff you care about, like Win32 API for example.

I myself have custom ruby binary on Win32 (Cygwin) with GRX library added in, So I can do basic graph stuff directly from ruby :) That stuff is written in it:

Not an answer to your question, but some insights from an employee who sees it as my mission to hack every system.

As an employee, my approach to peer feedback to make sure that I write every piece of feedback ever provided about me by peers, in exchange for them either writing their own feedback or my offering to spend an hour writing detailed praise for them.

In 5 years, as far as I know, no piece of peer feedback has not been written by me.

Plenty of the comments have appeared word for word in my performance reviews. Entire paragraphs lifted to be used as part of my overall review. So some of it just seems like lazy management.

How is X doing? They have repeatedly crowdsourced that answer. Perhaps out of laziness. Perhaps out of ignorance.
I don’t know that I’d want to share my order history with an unknown website. Would run locally if that was an option.
This is the weird thing. I heard it a lot and I don't know if people just over-exaggerate or maybe I'm just forgetting things quicker, but I don't have that. I come to the code after month or two and it is the same as if I came a week or two.
I also don't feel ashamed of it.

I also got compliments of my code in the past.

I do try to make my code readable and avoid being clever. Basically my rule of thumb is that if I need to write a comment about block of code what it does, then that code is too complex.
The country ran just fine before 1984. Some would argue better, though I couldn't say if they were right.
This is not actually the case. The problem was you were transporting CSV often using a mechanism that used control characters at the hardware level. Using those characters often would have unpredictable results when storing, retrieving, and transmitting data.
Not very comfortable with how much that sounds like downplaying the effects. It would be the largest disaster in all of human history. For reference the estimated strategic nuclear arsenal of the United States is about 820 megatons and the largest US test detonation was 15 megatons so an impact of this size would be on par with or possibly worse than an all out nuclear war between the US and Russia. God knows what kind of effects that kind of blast would have, it would probably kill half the US population on impact and light the entire east coast on fire. No idea what would happen to the rest of the world after that but the supply chain “disruption” alone would mean millions starving and without fuel or medicine.
They exist so that typists can insert random characters that look similar to what they actually meant to type. This has a nice income-generating effect for developers who know how to handle incorrectly encoded data. I make good money fixing data processing pipelines written to expect utf-8 only to be given something else.
> Construction is faster than it was before the 2007 Housing Crisis. Both of these factors should have drastically reduced housing costs, however, prices are still 40% higher than they were in 2020

You were corrected on this above and chose to repeat it.

Concluding price from supply only is nonsense. In your interval, the population and real incomes rose. They rose faster than new housing formation, particularly in the cities which have a homeless problem.

Maybe interestingly, my experience has been the exact reverse of this. Craigslist is the only place I get legitimate responses to my listings, and Facebook Marketplace is where I get people who try to pull of these scams, or people who want to pay half of the price I list. I wonder if it has to do with the types of items being sold?
We've had trouble selling on Facebook marketplace. On craiglist, if people don't like your list price they just ignore you. On facebook people can start flamewars in your posts or harass you directly.
Some speak perfect conversational Hebrew in a standard Israeli accent but switch to an Ashenazi/Yiddish accent in biblical or liturgical contexts. Pretty cool actually.
I agree with you, the author should take an L for on that. Trying to handle errors the right way is an exercise in frustration for printf debugging. it's solved by using a debugger but sometimes that's not available, and passing Result<Option <String>,Box<dyn Error>> or whatever around in exactly the right way to error handle is just difficult. I figured it out eventually, but compared to, say, Python there was a steep learning curve. Some people will be able to scale it, others won't. Personally I think that's okay, not everything has to be python easy. Gatekeeping doesn't have to be bad. the real ass awkward reality is that not everyone has that type of reasoning skills to actually get it, and gatekeeping people out because they don't and can't get it doesn't have to be a bad thing. We shouldn't be surprised when someone complains about that though.
I am honestly very glad for people who took omega-3s and who experienced a benefit. For me, though, next time I’m a mouse and I want to drink more sugar water and stay in the middle of an open box vs. the edges (all that was demonstrated in the article, as far as I can tell), I’ll be sure to take some omega 3s. Until then, I’ll keep taking the prescription antidepressants that actually allowed me to get through a PhD program and hold down a job afterwards.

Yes. It doesn't say anything like what you were saying. I have commented on it elsewhere in this discussion.
I'm reasonably certain the authors are aware of alive2.

The problem with using alive2 to verify LLM based compilation is that alive2 isn't really designed for that. It's an amazing tool for catching correctness issues in LLVM, but it's expensive to run and will time out reasonably often, especially on cases involving floating point. It's explicitly designed to minimize the rate of false-positive correctness issues to serve the primary purpose of alerting compiler developers to correctness issues that need to be fixed.
But if you are the number 1 tennis player in your country in some objective sense, can’t you build a coaching career out of that?

My bugaboo is people who list things for sale and fill $1 as the price in the structured data, and then in the description reveal the real price they are asking. All just so when I filter by price their listing still shows up.

You can manually flag things but it feels like whack-a-mole, and I don't know if Craigslist actually deletes/punishes posters who get flagged for this reason.
It's a very common scam to send a cashier's check for an amount + some extra, where you are expected to cash the check, keep the change, and return the amount. Later, the check will reverse, having been caught as a fraudulent check, and you're left on the hook for the entire original amount of the check.

Those characters were "control characters" and used for streaming data over serial, parallel and other devices. Control character could cause some real surprises when you used them.

An irrational belief is one you did not come to through reason.

Irrational doesn't mean bad or wrong. It just means it did not come from a rationale. Many beliefs we have are presuppositions which we demand strong rationale for changing, despite not needing similar rationale to arrive at the presupposed belief.

Believing the earth is flat because it looks flat is an example of an irrational belief practically everyone holds until taught otherwise. Some people hold onto the belief even after being given good reason to abandon it. We call that irrational behavior.
Ehhhh I see what you mean…but I definitely think it’s useful to say to new people who know much less about this than you do “put the subject over here. It’s a rule.”

Then, some of them will progress to the point where they discover that there are no Thirds Police and have the accumulated judgment to frame their subject in a truly thoughtful way. :)

It’s like describing the world in terms of “three primary colors.” It’s wrong…in a useful way.
We did printing with heads on specialized form paper. If you wanted to change the font you opened up the printer, took out the head, and replaced it with a new head. The character set standard defined how the head was physically manufactured. You want all the printers in your fleet to produce identical output.

In 1985 "OS Support" meant picking up the phone and talking to the vendor directly.

> Seems like sociopathic behavior to me, which these professions tend to attract.

given how cheap is to say hello, and maybe get some advantage from this in the future, this is not very smart sociopathic behavior.

But this maybe be result of culture differences: some people grew up in culture where work is work(with all protocols, like saying hello to coworker), and personal life (interhuman behaviour) is something separate.

>> Instead we’re stuck with broken replacements like CSV.

> ASCII separators are equally as broken. How do you represent a string containing the record separator in a record-separated file?

ASCII separators may not be perfect, but they're certainly less broken than CSV. With CSV, you have the pervasive problem of how to represent a common, everyday character in the file. With ASCII separators, you only have the problem of representing an unusual, untypeable
character, which is much less troublesome.
> the C example ... by definition strings cannot contain that character

They can, only some functions stop at the first zero:

char s[] = "gogo\x00gogo";
printf( "%d\n", (int)sizeof( s ) );
You act like the choice is either having a small official repo plus PPAs or a small official repo plus AUR, when the context of this thread is a comparison is with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed which has a large official repo (plus PPAs in the form of other OBS repositories if you really need them, but you almost certainly don't). A large amount of software that an Arch user has to use the AUR for is in the OpenSUSE oss repo that is supported officially and "tested" when snapshots are released (though the amount of testing varies with the software, of course).
> There is a charity run homeless shelter in the town where they were camping on public grounds.

That "charity" is a religious organization which requires all residents to abide by strict "Christian values" including immediate abstinence from all drugs (even nicotine) and sex, attendance to multiple daily sermons, etc. while also working for the organization.

The group filed a brief with the court arguing for the ruling we got, stating that people were choosing to camp on the streets instead of go to the shelter as if that weren't an indictment of their offering that they believe a significant portion of their residents were only there because they would otherwise be arrested and not because it was actually a better choice than being on the street.
In the case of forced vaccination, it's a reasonable comparison, as it violates several item of the Nuremberg code.
Some places did force vaccination, and even where it wasn't, there were plenty of high profile figures calling for it.

Keeping things in sync: derive vs. test
Sure, performance is more interesting, but it's significantly harder.

With code size, you just need to run the code through the compiler and you have a deterministic measurement for evaluation.

Performance has no such metric. Benchmarks are expensive and noisy. Cost models seem like a promising direction, but they aren't really there yet.
Thanks for the reply! That's actually less than I would have guessed.
Yeah, I think it's tricky to know how most sysadmins could make good decisions about this information, especially when misissuance is likely to be less than 1% of 1% of all CA issuance and automated renewal is working properly. Warning fatigue is a pretty big deal here!

Also, we made Certbot randomize the subject key by default every time it renews, so you have a huge amount of churn in subject keys, so you can't just say "oh, well, this public key has been used for a long time, so it's probably correct!". Every subject key is typically new and is unrelated to every previous subject key.

I hope that won't turn out to have been a poor trade-off. (We thought it was good to have more turnover of keys in order to reduce the impact of successfully stealing or cryptographically attacking one.)

> why not?

Because no ordinary object, i.e., object made of ordinary matter obeying an ordinary matter equation of state, can be that compact. It's not possible.

Solutions like the "Bardeen black hole" adopt a different equation of state in their deep interior, something more like dark energy, which is not any kind of "ordinary object". That is the only way to have an object that compact without an event horizon. The missing piece in such solutions is how that kind of equation of state could arise as a result of something like stellar collapse: that is where some kind of new physics, possibly some form of quantum gravity, might be needed.
I think a better title for this article isn't "Diversity Was Supposed to Make Us Rich," but "Once Again McKinzey is Peddling Bullshit."

I agree with many of the assertions... Diversity is the right thing to do. And it certainly seems you should hire the best people, regardless of skin colour, ethnicity and gender. And if you limited your CEO search to white males between the ages of 32 and 43 who played college football and who are 6 foot of higher and judged to be "hot" by modern standards and hoot out motivational slogans as if every developer was motivated the same way every salesperson was, you're going to limit yourself to an un-naturally small field from which to draw your candidates.

But... it's important to note that the promises of wealth for DEI hiring didn't come from academia, corporations, employees, organized labor or politicians. It came from a company that, while admittedly hiring bright people, tends to downplay the importance of business context and emphasize the importance of focusing only on those things which are measurable while ignoring Goodhart's Law (When a measure starts to become a target, it stops being a good measure.)

My experience with McKinsey consultants is they almost destroyed my business. Brilliantly smart, they used their intelligence to justify policies dependent on only those things they knew how to measure. If they couldn't figure out how to measure it, it didn't seem to matter. Fortunately, after their policies lost us our three premier customers and a nearly 60% loss of revenue. After ditching McKinsey and organizational repair, the company was able to recover, but not before selling the company at a discount and layoffs.

Please don't blame the concept of "Diversity" for McKinsey's idiocy.

> It is normally not a necessary feature of a compiler to be determistic. A compiler should be correct against a specification.

That sounds like a nightmare. Optimizing code to play nice with black-box heuristic compilers like V8's TurboFan is, already in fact, a continual maintenance nightmare.

If you don't care about performance, non-deterministic compilation is probably "good enough." See TurboFan.
Congress can actually legislate the right of agencies to interpret the gaps in the laws back into effect - by passing a law that explicitly gives agencies this power.

Just like congress can legislate abortion laws rather than leaving it to judicial precedence.

Fundamentally there’s nothing wrong with the position of supreme court to push the responsibility of lawmaking back on congress.
The eruption was a violent explosion with molten rocks flying around. Some of them probably hit the city and some of them contained lots of iron would be my guess.
I figure we could get a Falcon Heavy filled with rocks or something launched in a hurry. But, I did the math, and like you say, all we could do is watch.

Assuming the standard asteroid density of 2000 kg/m^3 [1], a 260 m diameter asteroid has a volume of 4/3 * pi * 130^3 = 1.84e10 m^3. Falcon Heavy can lift 16818 kg to a transfer orbit to Mars [2], which I assume is basically what it can do to reach an asteroid coming at us. A normal speed of space probes (without gravity assists) seems to be about 25,000 mph = 11600 m/s. Thus, it has a momentum of about 1.95e8 kg*m/s.

Assuming we hit the asteroid perpendicular to its motion, transferring all our momentum into transverse velocity, that is 1.95e8 / 1.84e10, or approximately 0.01 m/s. To ensure a miss, it would need to travel the whole diameter of the earth, 6.378e6 m, which would take 6.378e8 seconds, or about 20.2 years, which is the amount of time before impact we would need to hit the asteroid.

We would probably have more success hitting it head on. Since the earth is moving at about 3e4 m/s, we only need to delay the asteroid by 213 seconds. The minimum speed of an asteroid impacting Earth is 1.1e4 m/s, so we would need to move it backwards 2.343e6 m. This allows us to hit it slightly later, only 7.3 years ahead of time (in the best-case scenario). Assuming it could vary by a factor of two, we would need up to about a 14 year lead time.
