> In this case, a function of 0 arguments and a function of 1 trivial unit argument are visibly different even though their total effect on the state is the same. After all, we're talking about theory of computation and so it better be able to handle computations as they are actually performed at the low level, too.

You don't have to push anything for the unit values on the stack though, their representation doesn't take up any space. Just like if you're passing a big argument (like a large integer, or a struct passed by value) it might take multiple registers or a lot of space in your stack frame, there's no 1:1 correspondence between arguments and stack space.

> you want to special-case handling of unit so that passing it as an argument would not touch %rdi, and assigning a unit to a value should not write any registers

This shouldn't need to be a special case though. For each datatype you have a way of mapping it to/from some number of registers, and for the unit type that number of registers is 0 and that mapping is a no-op.
Data folks would do well to find some good visualizations (from the Economist or New York Times) and recreate them.

They will learn a lot from doing so.
Wow, this couldn't be further from the truth. It might be true for DJs playing "main stage" style EDM (poppy mainstream music) but for most electronic subgenres – especially techno – the crowd absolutely expects the DJ to be a superb crate digger and pull out new and deep tracks they've never heard before.

No one goes to a techno club to hear rinsed tracks; they want the DJ to show them music they've never heard before. Before the digital age, people would go out to see touring DJs specifically for their collection of rare records that no one else had and you couldn't hear anywhere else. This is still true today in the more underground scenes. It's the opposite of cookie cutter.
Nice. The "edit" portion was very clever!

Now write a short, trite comment.
>= (well, reference is hiding the fact that it’s not the literal string/object but a reference to it, a number is just the number).

>For a reference, using = will assign a new value (not change the original)

what I wrote was regarding only strings, so I'm not understanding - it seems you are saying the same thing I said? But maybe I'm wrong about how the actual strings are stored.
It was a better lie when "the people we robbed and killed totally deserved it" was about Kulaks. Seriously it is the same victim blaming bullshit to absolve a government of thieves.
Case in point, I suppose. Oh well.

Edit: Please, keep editing your posts. And also deleting your other crummy response about me being "attention seeking". Really not sure why you feel the need to continue to be an asshole.
> if you adopt multi-argument/multi-valued functions you simply never encounter this problem

Sure. If you have multiple return then unit values become a lot less important because you can just have a function that returns 0 values. But most languages, especially C-like languages, do not have multiple return.
Relatively few shares will be on the open market. If these few shares are sought after (bought by Google), the price will go way higher as more shares are bought out by Google. It's possible to mount actions where things are kept "quiet" and "hard to notice" (See Hermes vs LVMH a few years ago in France) - but even then it can fail (it did). Overall no, you can't buy the whole company at anywhere close to the stock market "market cap". It "works" when the acquirer gets control (enough shares to eventually vote out the current board leadership.)

What sometimes does work is to make a formal offer to buy all the shares that are presented, at some price quite a bit higher than the current market price. Sometimes that works. Occasionally that works for very little above the current market price.
Reread the source. We were aiming for quote, the "systematic destruction" of urban industrial targets. To be clear, that quote is coming from the released documents, not the site covering it. We were explicitly targeting population in each and every city, alongside other non-military targets.

A "dummy" silo does not mean a fake silo, though those may also be used, but simply a silo without a live weapon. Silos are cheap and be constructed extremely rapidly. Beyond dummies, there's also the issues of them having already launched their payload, hardened against attacks (which does not mean immune), and so on. Then there's also the nuclear triad in that weapons will also be coming from the sea and possibly from the air as well.

The goal of this obfuscation and deception is not to avoid masking how many weapons you have, but rather to prevent the enemy from being able to meaningfully disrupt your nuclear retaliation capability; in other words - to protect yourself against a nuclear first strike. In modern times it's unlikely either side believes they can significantly disrupt the opponent's nuclear retaliation capability (unlike in the past when strikes would generally have come from the air and had far lesser range overall), and so it simply makes much more logical sense to optimize the damage caused by your own strikes in pursuit of your opponent's "systematic destruction."
There's a good arguement that backgammon and bridge are better training for real life because of the mixture of strategy and randomness.
> The one that scares me the most is that the Russians have hidden ones pre-positioned in our 40 biggest cities or so.

I find it hard to believe you seriously consider this, even in the absurd world of MAD-driven decisions.

Simply put, for it to be even remotely likely would require that none of these devices had as of yet been discovered, nor the intelligence nor logistics surrounding them been compromised or otherwise intercepted.

Consider that if such a situation were to be true, and uncovered, that the only possible responses would be either immediate action to have them removed, immediate retaliation, or allowing them to exist. In the first two scenarios, the weapons are no longer relevant, whether because they’re removed or war has started. In the final scenario, we’re functionally at the same place as we are with the traditional nuclear triad, albeit far closer to the precipice due to reasons made clear in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

All of this to say, the challenges, costs, and risks of enacting such a situation, as utterly ridicule-worthy in their totality as they are, can perhaps be hand-waved away by pointing to other Cold War era events. However, to argue this has actually been done, despite the entire lack of any strategic benefit, and the immeasurable net loss of position and risk to the Russians that results? Come on.

I did look at their financials - 77% gross margin with 30% revenue growth. Much higher than “commodity cdn” can command. If they cut marketing and r&d they’d be bagging half a b a year in profit but they are investing in growth as they should because it’s working
It’s funny how different lives can be. I’ve never been part of the corporate world, been self employed basically my whole working life and my blog is not even a thought when it comes to work.

Oxidisation in the context of CPU fabrication sounds pretty bad, I find it hard to believe it would have no impact on CPU stability regardless of what Intels PR team to say while minimizing any actual impacts caused.

Edit: it sounds like intel have been aware of stability issues for some time and have said nothing, I’m not sure we have any reason to trust anything they say moving forward, relating to oxidisation or any other claims they make.

On the login to the first timesharing system I used, it would prompt for your password, then type eight M's, W's, and X's on top of each other (on paper, of course, since this was using a Teletype terminal), so when you actually typed your password the characters would be printed on top of those already obscured lines.
ZFS Snapshots + Sanoid and Syncoid to manage and trigger them is what people should be doing. Unfortunately, booting from ZFS volumes seems to be some form of black art unless things have changed over the last couple of years.

The license conflict and OpenZFS always having to chase kernel releases often resulting in delayed releases for new kernels means I cannot confidently use them with rolling release distros on the boot drive. If I muck something up, the data drives will be offline for a few minutes till I fix the problem. Doing the same with the boot drive is pain I can live without.
Fair, I have no idea if it confirms the size, though maybe the specific speed of the gas helps with that. Mostly it's evidence that there is a black hole, but it's not supermassive, and a stellar-mass one probably wouldn't have enough effect to be noticed.

I mean it just varies from person to person and region to region. It doesn't change the fact that someone offering a wage well below market will never find anyone who's suitable as a mid level engineer, no matter the market. On the flip side, someone (like the author) who's waiting for a high paying executive position may struggle to find a position, even if it were a particularly strong job market.

I'd also argue you shouldn't jump on the first job you see. I was once offered 60k for a job in Austin, and if I had moved there to take such low pay it could have ruined my career. You should be thoughtful and reasonable about the roles you take

openSUSE honestly is so criminally underrated. I've been using Tumbleweed for a few years for my dev/work systems and YaST is just great. Also that they ship fully tested images for their rolling release is just so much saner. OBS is another fantastic tool that I see so few people talking about, despite software distribution still being such a sore point in the linux ecosystem.
Everything is securities fraud, so a payola consortium pumping Wiz through funding rounds sounds bad. Wiz is great, so the question is if they are > $23B great, and how they got there. And more so, why would a gov prosecutor bet on this case over others, or a private investor who has shares & reputation at risk.

OTOH, maybe The Honest Services Statute where CISOs violate their fiduciary duty by prioritizing security/risk budget & focus to a VC paying them. I don't see most impacted companies making this public vs a warning or voluntary resignation.

It clearly happens a lot, but the only successful prosecution I remember was at Netflix: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-netflix-executiv... . A funny thing is the VC is doing all this semi-officially: many but not all of the illegal bits go away - the gov has less to prosecute on when everyone files their taxes accurately !

Well you can't run your internet backbone at all unless you want to connect it to the internet. For something like a network of traffic light controllers, traffic sensors, variable speed signs, traffic monitoring cameras, ect... You either need to connect it to the internet, or some sort of incredible large intranet that would be distributed over such a large area as to only marginally reduce the attack surface. Unlike say a power plant, where all of the controllers, and all of the systems they are controlling can be contained within a single facility.
You don't play by checking all possible moves on every turn like a machine. It's mostly intuition based, but it takes a while before it develops.

Also there are levels to this game, the range of players that is fun to play against is kind of narrow, outside of that you either obliterate or get obliterated.

Ask HN: What do you guys think of the current job market in tech?
Many of my friends with varying range of experience 5-9 years, have been looking for a job.

Almost all of them have been looking for a job since past 6 months.

As of now all of them are not employed since last 6 months or so.

Earlier these same people used to get offers left, right and center.

HR people were ready for interviews with them even at mid-night. And now, those same people won't even get replies from anyone.

And they all have varying tech, some in Django, some in React, some in DevOps, some in pure python, some in frontend. etc

Also, I know for a fact that these people are not bad at interviews, I've worked with them, I've seen them interview at other places. I've seen them grab those jobs and be good at what they do.

I am wondering, is the job market that bad ?

I thought it was bad only for freshers, but it looks like that everyone is struggling.
Peradventure is a good word. Do you have to be a lawyer to know it?
You lost me at "clean currency". No such thing.
The thing I find most interesting, every time something like this gets posted here on HN is that in the comments, depending on the day, dozen or hundreds or even thousand of people post some permutation of "hey, I feel the same"

And that makes me smile because on the one hand people keep repeating that blogs are dead, but on the other you're all proof that it's clearly not the case.
No I don't -I live in a different universe to you:

% (uname; cd /usr/ports; ls -d */ascii)
FreeBSD
zsh: no matches found: */ascii
% which ascii
ascii not found
%

It's the same on OSX and debian by default doesn't install that command. If you live inside a POSIX/IEEE 1003 system and want to know the ascii table reliably then the command I run is the one which works. If your distribution doesn't ship manuals by default you have bigger problems.

Do you have much of an opinion on why you went with Restic over Borg? The single Go binary is an obvious one, perhaps that alone is enough. I remember some people having un-bound memory usage with Restic but that might have been a very old version.

I wonder if this rejection is related to the CrowdStrike incident. Are they expecting or already experiencing a significant influx of new clients? I'm unsure if their services overlap, just curious.
How do you get to the actual book / tweets? The link just takes me back to the forward...
I think it depends on your perspective and prior experience with people.

There are a lot of people that dont engage in the rat race even when food, health, the material conditions of their children depend on. It seems like most people want a base level of UBI to be better than the conditions they have from working now. It also seems like the expectation for UBI is often even above the average US income of $37K, and that would be if there was no additional salary left to be had from working

Based on this, I empathize with anyone of median income or higher who feels like they are struggling to get what they want, and UBI would be a huge dead weight, likely preventing them from getting all of the things on their lists.

I assume my list would go down the drain to support a UBI policy.
In Taiwan, Life in China's Crosshairs
Well they didn't notice it for a good while, so it's really hard to say how much impact it had.

And at a certain point if you barely believe anything they say, then you shouldn't be using their statement to get mad about. The complaint you're making depends on very particular parts of their statement being true but other very particular parts being not true. I don't think we have the evidence to do that right now.
Of course, I think the guy I responded to edited his post.

Poker is a mathematical game with mathematically fixed odds. Real life is different in that there is a considerable amount of room to tilt the odds in one's favor.

No. Most fundamentally because secret deterrents are, by definition, unverifiable.

Disagree. Profit is not the same as greed, and corporations regularly make decisions that are not profitably in the short or long term.

Look at the rise in DEI! As soon as rates went up, a lot of that started getting cut. That strongly suggests it was an unprofitable decision. So why was it made?
I doubt it since this would be seen as a hostile takeover. They would then issue more shares in response to the takeover attempt.

> their representation doesn't take up any space.

One of the way to represent them doesn't take up any space. But if you want to e.g. have a generic function of e.g. (T,U,V) -> V type (that is, with no monomorphization in your compiler) then either your units have to take space (otherwise the layout of (unit,int,bool) is different from (int,int,bool) and the same), or you'll have to pass around type descriptors when invoking generic functions. Which many, many implementors of static languages rather wouldn't do unless absolutely necessary.

Instead of old-school installing agents to run on your VMs Crowdstrike style, with all the maintenance, performance and crash-the-world risks that entails, with Wiz you can clone your EBS volumes and examine them for vulnerabilities at your leisure.
