I think I found OP's cv, if anyone is interested in seeing it https://read.cv/ncropp Also his WiLine employee card: https://www.signalhire.com/profiles/nicolas-cropp%27s-email/... (funny, last year<Aug> he was listed as tier3 tech, maybe he fudged a little, or the company was unaware of his skills "shadow IT talent"..lol. Please be nice guys, could be any of us out there in the cold. Here are my suggestions OP,

Seeing how you are in Oregon, choices may be smaller, but, it all depends what you wanna do. A)get a job which affords you free time and energy (yes, a boring desk job where you twiddle your thumbs)...use the free time and your free time to make your skills crowd ready!!. A couple of certs and reach out to the colleges that the NSA is certifying/approving for cyber-training to either get certification from them or full fledge degree (some college should be able to gvie you credit for work experience). B)If you want to stay on the ground(non-cloud), find and old school fortune 1000 company in an eare you want to live and target them with your resume, but tailor your resume to their needs (look at their website, query their MX/DNS/etc, look at their website code etc. In my humble opinion, a package like this will keep you marketable for a few more decades <skills package> Network/WEBSITE/MTA/pbx/hvac/timeclock/CCTV/BIOMETRIC-ACCESS-CONTROL/CYBER SECURITY/ASSET-INVENTORY control </skills package> These are skills/technologies that 99 percent of fortune 1000 companies NEED. And I bet you very few have all these skillsets in one person, and it is doable at the server/platform management level, not the menial manual level of inventory control and badge scanning level.

As for access to the humans in the company, do what we've seen in the movies, you know, where the aggressive intrepid protagonist waits for the ceo or manager at the elevator, or follows him to the restaurant. I realize this is 2024 and you might end up in Jail, but I'm talking about the cyber version of that. I just did a lil web snooping and I got your resume link, I'm sure you can do the same and get linkedin of the hiring person, or the ceo if you prefer. Anyways, the idea is that youresearch the company, find their deficiencies, or maybe you spot a new project in their latest Q report and you see something you can help them with, so your letter goes, "hey yo chief, Here's my bag of skills, also in your latest Q report you mention you guys are expanding in shipping, I can setup a fleet monitoring system for you"

Best of luck buddy, go after the unlisted job vacancies now buddy, or better yet, fabricated your own opening.
What if you want to decide if x<y when actually x==y? Then your comparator doesn't halt.
Perhaps I was just lucky but I did both. In my primary school years I spent the long summer days of the long summer holiday tramping the fields, building dams in streams, catching newts, frogs, tiny fish in my hands, getting muddy to the eyeballs, in the evenings I read everything I could lay my hands on. At breakfast I read the back of the cereal packet if nothing else was available.

The great unwashed voted for whom Murdoch told them to, especially Queensland.

Queensland is also the biggest predictor of Federal election outcomes.

It’s been this way since the early 90s, but ramped up in the 2010s.

The period of 2013 to 2022 was the time we should have been slowly building back the calibre of our public sector that Howard had dismantled from 1996-2006.

Murdoch ensured this wouldn’t occur, though.

I’ve become extremely cynical about the nature of the Australian character; this is best exemplified by the original text spurring the phrase “The Lucky Country”.

Australia is a beautiful and lucky country, filled with people weak of character or substance.

We are effectively the halfwit-run mine for the rest of the world. We manufacture nothing. Innovate on little.

It sounds awful, but we haven’t suffered enough. Our identity is only half developed, and our past is largely shameful.

I love my country, but we need to be better and try much harder to be better people. We need to do what we can, not just what is easy.
Yeah that's another way of putting it. What do you think about it?

Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25, Section 1:

> Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Human rights generally represent a much higher standard than the minimal rights protected by national constitutions.
I love the Steam Deck for exactly these reasons.

Money is an abstraction and that is where humans interpretation starts to diverge. I think that may be this problem in a nutshell: abstractions are always leaky, and they leak in different places for different people.

> I have always viewed racism as very much linked to the person's intent

Certainly this is one of the most critical factors. I'd argue that this is critical in being not racist in the first place, since it is easy to misinterpret actions. Not to say that how it is received doesn't matter, but that we're in a globally interacting community and we're bound to step on one another's feet, so it is important to recognize that not knowing the dance is not the same as intentionally attacking nor that not knowing the dance is inexcusable in the first place. As this would need to go both ways and then we'd all be at fault. We should try to learn at least.

But I do want to push back a bit, and I think this connects to the prior point of the statistics. I do think it is possible to be unintentionally racist. Just like you can intentionally harm someone and you can unintentionally do so. In either case harm is still done, right? But it is with good reason we distinguish these in our legal system.

The world is much more complicated than it used to be, and this is the burden of advancement. As we advance, lower order approximations are no longer sufficient to solve problems, so we must become more nuanced, more forward thinking, and we must slow down so that we can move fast. The burden of our advancements is that we are now the gods who destroy cities without even knowing what we have done. The same way a butterfly does not know the hurricane it creates, because it's the interaction of its actions combined with so many others. But this does not change the end result. A more connected world means that our actions have more paths to travel through, and thus can do more. The question more is if we'll deny this or if we will try to do better. Maybe it is impossible to live without stepping on cities, but even if that is true, it doesn't mean we shouldn't try to look where we step and minimize the damage.

So what I'm saying is to me it didn't sound like they were trying to deny the correlation of whatever they were studying had to do with race, but rather that we've advanced as a society enough that correlation is insufficient. And at least in this domain we've recognized how it is easy to fool ourselves with data. Because I'll tell you, most people fool themselves with data, including experts. The difference is the expert always reserves some doubt. Most people confuse what data analysis does. It doesn't answer questions, it can't. Instead it eliminates potential answers. If you remember this, doubt is a natural consequence. If you don't, you'll always be the fool, lying to yourself.

> Ownership is very natural for humans (2 year old already declares “it’s mine”).

The idea that something a two year old does is a suitable basis for the foundations of society as a whole is both hilarious and terrifying. Two year olds are tyrants.
Can we stop the misuse of "rent seeking"? It just confuses things.
Sure, just trying to explain it to US ;)
This is absolutely not what I'm seeing. Travel is at an all time high with crazy amount of traffic jams, every weekend. Restaurants are full, parks, museums.. full. It is almost eerie just how everybody is going out and about like there is no tomorrow. I reduced my friend circle willingly, otherwise they would keep nagging me about doing stuff together, but I currently want to spend time on my own projects.
The western world could do that by locking in pre war percentages of good exports to ALL countries. As in selling on to russia risks starving your own needs.amount limited export is feasable,easily monitorable and effective. Its also political suicide in most "democratic" governments controlled by the economic caste, which just cant imagine they could propell themselves towards a world where there influence is rapidly fading.
PRC fought US+UN (Nato typo) in full scale war in 50s, to stalemate, while PLA was dramatically inferior vs gap now, and when PRC didn't have nukes, while US did. So not only did they dare to fight US on much worse odds, they did so not deterred by nukes, which US planners mused about using. Shedding blood with several nuclear powers isn't nothing, there's simply no country more willing to challenge other nuclear powers / be less deterred by nukes than PRC on security issues.

IMO US global war experience doesn't amount to much relevant in peer war, in peers backyard, against peer whos spend last 20 years soley fixated on countering US. IMO most don't realize how meagre current USN (and general US posture) is in IndoPac relative to current PRC size and what PRC has in threatre (everything), and how extra meagre 7th fleet in indopac is, CVN76 (carrier group) + desron15 (destroyer squadron) is like 10-20 ships depending on deployment. Last few years PRC coast guard messing around in Senkakus, dozens of incidents every year that should on paper trigger US defense obligation, but nothing from US. USN hasn't been credible deterrent for a while. US not sending carriers through TW straight for years, current US planning has carriers operate out of PRC backyard during shooting war to hopefully figure out way to do standoff strikes. Assuming they're not sunk before that. Or assuming they can operate more than a few days since PRC missiles can hit most replenishment sites/fleets. For reference invading 90s Iraq took 5 carriers group + regional basing + french selling out Iraqi air defense. Eisenhower carrier / CVN69+DDGs aren't exactly defeating houthis right now. Current PRC is like 80x larger than Iraq then by population, 100x larger by gdp, and 100x+ more industrial output. Current one year PRC ship building is outputting cumulative US 5 year WW2 which is proxy indicator for other domains (like munitions). USN formidable against PLA 10-15 years ago, but that's also how long PRC took to close gap which they are likely to extend.
It's the other way around.

The series started by 1 manufacturer with the prefix SN54/SN64/SN74 for military/industrial/commercial grade ships. Other manufacturers made compatible clones with other starting characters than SN, and 74 proved much more popular than 54 and 64. So the whole ecosystem became known as the 74 chips.

Technological advances made the 74 series obsolete qua speed and power usage, so center characters like HC/HCT made improved variants with functional or full backward compatibility.

I'm not sure but assume the 4000 series to be an equivalent but incompatible family that 'lost', much like vhs vs betamax.
> Is there some reason a cryptographic algorithm developer must track the latest release of a compiler?

Tracking the latest release is important because:

1. Distributions build (most? all?) libraries from source, using compilers and flags the algorithm authors can't control

2. Today's latest release is the base of tomorrow's LTS.

If the people who know most about these algorithms aren't tracking the latest compiler releases, then who else would be qualified to detect these issues before a compiler version bearing a problematic optimization is used for the next release of Debian or RHEL?

> Logically, therefore, must we not also expect CPU designers to
also forego changes that could alter timing behavior?

Maybe? [1]

> freezing all compiler development

There are many, many interesting areas of compiler development beyond incremental application of increasingly niche optimizations.

For instance, greater ability to demarcate code that is intended to be constant time. Or test suites that can detect when optimizations pose a threat to certain algorithms or implementations. Or optimizing the performance of the compiler itself.

Overall I agree with you somewhat. All engineers must constantly rail against entropy, and we are doomed to fail. But DJB is probably correct that a well-reasoned rant aimed at the community that both most desires and most produces the problematic optimizations has a better chance at changing the tide of opinion and shifting the rate at which all must diminish than yelling at chipmakers or the laws of thermodynamics.

Yup. At the end of the day these logic-bomb-esque mechanisms are unpreventable and just a cat-and-mouse problem.

There should be a way to battle this outside technical measures, like a crowdsourced group of real distributed humans testing apps for anything malicious.

> If export controls continued unabated over that period, I imagine we’ll have seen a fair amount of on-shoring of former supply chains.

That's been the trend across the past several administrations.
Thanks. So an ore with a high aluminium content that also has some amount of e.g. iron (I read that as an example in another comment?) would be worse than an ore with much less aluminium, but where everything else is "more different". Or where it actually does contain a multitude of metals that would be inconvenient in an alloy, but that happen to be bound to different "carriers" that are easy to separate before splitting the molecules. Interesting. Really makes one admire the geological processes that gave us those convenient ores.
> when Microsoft Word came along, people obviously preferred it, even if it was slow and crashed all the time

I am sure it's "overdetermined" but why -is- that?

I'd call it the "tragedy of the losing better option": When two alternatives exist and, often, the lesser/worse/worst wins. You find that all over the place.-
I find pretty much all fruit and vegetables to be rubbish in Scotland. The only exception is the couple of things grown here. Which is baffling given if you fly for couple of hours you can get fantastic produce everywhere.
> generally shorthand for the IEEE 754 Floating Point standard

Yes, generally, but that is just a social convention. There is nothing stopping you from doing floating point in base 10 rather than base 2, and if you do, 0.1 becomes representable exactly. It's just a quirk that 1/10 happens to be a repeating decimal in base 2. It is in no way a reflection of a limitation on computation.
This is dead wrong, and a very dangerous mindset.

All modern C and C++ compilers use the potential of UB as a signal in their optimization options. It is 100% unpredictable how a given piece of code where UB happens will actually be compiled, unless you are intimately familiar with every detail of the optimizer and the signals it uses. And even if you are, seemingly unrelated changes can change the logic of the optimizer just enough to entirely change the compilation of your UB segment (e.g. because a function is now too long to be inlined, so a certain piece of code can no longer be guaranteed to have some property, so [...]).

Your example of signed integer overflow is particularly glaring, as this has actually triggered real bugs in the Linux kernel (before they started using a compilation flag to force signed integer overflow to be considered defined behavior). Sure, the compiler compiles all signed integer operations to processor instructions that result in two's complement operations, and thus overflow on addition. But, since signed integer overflow is UB, the compiler also assumes it never happens, and optimizes your program accordingly.

For example, the following program will never print "overflow" regardless of what value x has:

int foo(int num) {
int x = num + 100;
if (x < num) {
printf("overflow occured");
}
return x;
}

In fact, you won't even find the string "overflow" in the compiled binary, as the whole `if` is optimized away [0], since per the standard signed integer overflow can't occur, so x + 100 is always greater than x for any (valid) value of x.

Here's the link I found more informative:

I think this is missing them point of p5js. Khan Academy has brilliant kids courses on p5. A bright first grader can learn it.

P5 is not designed to solve the same problem as D3. It's for creative coding. It's what kids did on Logo, BASIC, or an a graphing calculator. For that, is brilliant.

It's for a weekend playing making digital art.

It's for teaching math and physics.

It's not something anyone could, would, or should use for any production code. You can't do a11y, i18n, responsiveness, or a million other annoyances that come with real-world coding. It's not a work framework.

It's there for FUN.

(And if you have kids and the to help them out, it's absolutely better than Scratch; marginally slower to get going, but no ceiling)
Actually looks quite interesting. syntax looks like:

fun
| is_sorted([] || [_]): #true
| is_sorted([head, next, tail, ...]):
head .<= next && is_sorted([next, tail, ...])

is_sorted([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
is_sorted([1, 2, 30, 4, 5])

a bunch of ways to express blocks, pattern matching and macros. The class facilities also look very nice. other than some indentation it doesn't feel pythony at all (which for me is a good thing!) more like an Elixir feel (cute syntax for some great concepts behind) see https://github.com/racket/rhombus/blob/master/demo.rhm
ITER hasn't been the "International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor" for a very long time now. Why does it keep being called that? Even Wikipedia uses it correctly. I don't understand where people keep pulling that term from. Even high-profile publications like Scientific American keep using the old term.
Most fractal functions don't have a well-defined derivative. If the length of the fractal curve increases indefinitely as you zoom in, the concept of a local slope is not meaningful. More direction changes appear as you zoom in.

Yes, there are gamified learning apps like this. Some of the more well-known ones are Simply Piano, Yousician, Skoove and Synthesia and various clones but just searching "piano" on iOS app store gave me longer list than I cared to scroll through.

The nice thing is that you have to learn to play without looking at your hands because your eyes are fixed at the screen. The less nice part is that especially with Synthesia style it is difficult to play without the app.

Great questions.

1) Our visits are all text-based visits done asynchronously. These visits are easily handled in parallel unlike video-based visits. Generally visits lasts anywhere between 2 to 20 minutes.

2) Ad revenues depend on the industry. For instance, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and health insurances will all have different monthly pricing where their ad will be shown for every visit.
Yes it will get cold, but paradoxically it will also get much warmer. Mote extreme weather is what's going to happen. I know this was probably sarcasm, but more co2 means more energy in the system, and more extremes.

Yeah I remember seeing this years ago, and feeling like it was the future. Now it barely feels like a robot.
Uh, no. As I said up top, I didn't come up with the idea:

In the 2000 presidential election, independent candidate James Soon
proposed a European Union-style relation with mainland China (this
was echoed by Hsu Hsin-liang in 2004) along with a non-aggression pact.
In the 2004 presidential election, Lien Chan proposed a
confederation-style relationship. [1]

It seems to me that maybe your dismissal of the CCP making concessions towards unification in general fits the notion of a "know-nothing outsider" much more than what I wrote. Both China and Taiwan have long held that there is only "One China" and that they eventually belong together.
