[PSA] Firefox has this built in already: Hold Shift while right-clicking. Been a while since I tested on a fresh profile, but I don’t believe this requires any preference tweaking or about:config stuff.
I can write SIMD code that's 2x the speed of the non-vectorized code but I can also rewrite that same SIMD code so that 2x becomes 6x.

Point being, not only that you can get 2x on top of initial 2x SIMD implementation but usually much more.

Whether or not you see SIMD in the codegen is not a testament of how good the implementation really is.

IPC is the relevant measure here.
Oh wow, I haven't thought about refcounts on mutexes

There is no need to rebuild lumber framed houses every 30-50 years. What gives you that idea? My house is 30 years old and in great shape. There are 100+ year old wood framed houses all over the US.

Water is the primary enemy of wood, keep the water out and wood frames houses will last generations. Modern pressure treated lumber lasts even longer.

While I agree with you that anyone worried about privacy was a bit short-sighted to use 23AndMe, it's the same deal with everything, everywhere. Your favorite social media platform surveils all your posts/pictures/videos and is probably training an AI model on them by now, even though when you signed up for Friendster in the 1940s all of today's AI developments were distant sci-fi fever dreams. Outlook and Gmail feast on your emails. Your car is sharing everything you do with the manufacturer and the dealer and probably the government. Your washer is using up huge amounts of data for some reason, and you likely didn't even set up the app it has for reasons unfathomable.

Data is money, so of course companies will pull out every stop to harvest it, monetize it, deprive you of control over it, and ransom you with it.

It sounds like the difficulty for source-based distributions comes from trying to do an in-place upgrade that makes incompatible changes to the ABI. So changing to an entirely different distribution would be at least as disruptive (though possibly less time consuming) as doing a clean install of Gentoo using a new ABI.

I'm not sure I understand how this helps. You still need to support the parameter so that folks can pass information through the login state (for deeplinking, among other use cases). Which means you still need to process it and therefore are committed to either being noncompliant with the spec or providing functionality that is limited to 2005 sensibilities.

Request for app: smart RSS client that understands editor's publishing choices
Essentially I am looking for a smart RSS client; can you recommend one?

RSS readers work well to track simple blogs that publish in a "stream of consciousness" fashion (that is, one idea after another, roughly in the order that they are thought up by the author).

News sites (think BBC, the Economist, foreign affairs, the Atlantic, etc) are a different beast... they publish a lot of content all the time and it's not all equally important. The top stories linger on top of the home page for a long time, while minor ones either get pushed to the bottom or leave the front page quickly altogether.

I think there's value in the editor's judgement of their own content, so I'm looking for an app that understands and keeps track of it in order to make it accessible to the user. For example I'd want to ask "what were the 10 stories that lingered on the front page of the bbc the longest in the last week" or "all stories that made it to the top 2 spots in the last 3 days" or some combination thereof.

Do you know of any such app? (Or do you want to build one? I'd certainly be a paying customer!)

Thanks!
My HP Warranty RMA Experience
TL;DR: I bought a computer last year September, it broke down this year January. I have been working with HP since then, by waiting for parts to come in or having HP certified third party technicians come to my apartment 5 separate times. HP sent me 3 seperate computers, all downgrades that I returned except for the last one, and now HP has closed my case, despite me sending in timestamped photos and offering to video call. I was yelled at and told to appreciate that I got anything at all. My PC was $2,700, somewhere in the process I was offered $1,500 and I declined. I spent many hours over the phone with HP, I have a tight schedule and a wife who hates when I waste time with HP saying I'm fighting a losing battle. I had to stop working my online video editing job and instead pick up overtime at the hospital I work at, 13 hour shifts per day. Someone else on the Linus Tech Tips Forums made a similar post named @Pickletickler9000.

at the source level it does, but when you have compiled libraries it breaks.

The strangest concept for modern software engineers is that it had to ship bug free and it could never be updated with firmware patches. Shipping under those constraints brings a certain level of focus not experienced in modern design.
In hindsight, I wish I’d included the disclaimer that I have creative pursuits (of the ineffable variety) which leverage creative tools in the more literal sense (not AI, not purely random either). I don’t mean to disparage the entire class of machine-generated creation per se.

But I do think that there is an important distinction between incorporating it in some form into a person’s expression, versus being the whole of the expression. Even if that incorporation is mere curation, at least that imbues some semblance of meaning, to someone capable of experiencing meaning.

And perhaps that’s a snobbish perspective. Maybe it deserves reexamination.
The autoformatter does it based on indentation, but when writing code the editor just inserts it when you open a block (after your cursor), same way } is added when you type { in other languages.
Source vs binary compatibility. Using typedefs like off_t mean you usually don't have to re-write code, but you do have to re-compile everything that uses that type.
I mean, a frenzy of talent was applied to breaking the sound barrier, and it broke, within a very short time. A frenzy of talent was applied to landing on the moon and that happened too, relatively quickly. Supersonic travel also happens to be physically possible under the laws of our universe. We know with confidence that human-level intelligence is also physically possible within the laws of our universe, and we can even estimate some reasonable upper bounds on the hardware requirements that implement it.

So in that sense, if we're playing reference class tennis, this looks a lot more like a project to break the sound barrier than a project to break the light barrier. Is there a stronger case you can make that these people, who are demonstrating quite tangible progress every month (if you follow the literature rather than just product launches), are working on a hopelessly unsolvable problem?

It does work, the problem with ABI changes is that when you change it, you have to change it everywhere at the same time. By default there's nothing stopping you from linking one library built using 32-bit off_t with another library built using 64-bit off_t, and the resulting behaviour can be incredibly unpredictable.
The health hazards of space may be entirely treatable or preventable, with enough research. By no means in the human body any kind of barrier to exploring space!

There have been so very few space denizens, the science is in its infancy.

Space travel itself could be changed. For instance, a rocket to Mars may swing the habitat in a circle at the end of a miles-long wire to create artificial gravity. To those that claim 'acceleration is different from gravity', take your physics course again.

And people can be changed. It took a special kind of person to live at high altitude, and on an island with periodic feast-and-famine, and on a 2000 calorie rice diet, and in a crowded city, and on a submarine.

We can imagine (and often have in science fiction) a person built to crew long space missions. And we can imagine space missions designed for humans. Right now it's all in early days.
This is sort of what I was thinking. I remember when Ahold bought out that family. That left Weis Markets as our last family owned regional chain.
They make it easier, but just at a source code level. They're not a real (and certainly not full) abstraction. An example that'll be making it obvious: if you replace the underlying type with a floating point type, the semantics would change dramatically, fully visible to the user code.

With larger types that otherwise have similar semantics, you can still have breakage. A straightforward one would be padding in structs. Another one is that a lot of use cases convert pointers to integers and back, so if you change the underlying representation, that's guaranteed to break. Whether that's a good or not is another question, but it's certainly not uncommon.

(Edit: sibling comments make the same point much more succinctly: ABI compatibility!)
Yeah, the problem in general with type aliases is that they're just that, aliases, not proper types. This means that they leak all the details of the underlying type, and don't work for proper encapsulation, which is what's needed for being able to change what should be implementation details.
There's also the tides, and variations in the tides with 2nd and 3rd order effects on gravity. Absolute references based on variable references is ugly!
Did he fear what would happen, or propose extrapolating the current experience as a cautionary tale? Meanwhile Huxley presented a world where we voluntarily pursue ignoble goals. I don't think we're criticizing him as much as mourning we appear to have palced the yoke upon ourselves.
By that argument, all bytecode is open source, because it has to be run in some other environment, and you can technically modify it if you want to. Open source is supposed to refer to the human-interpretable elements of the code. E.g., kernel modules that are technically formatted as C code but contain non-human readable firmware as values are still considered "binary blobs" and not part of the free/open source kernels some distros ship.
Thanks. Having a good average profit over a player's bets gives you a head start, but (a) the amount of their bets, (b) the number of players, and (c) their loyalty all determine your gross profit. All of those are factors you have to work on.

Substitute "human heart" by "a culture of isolated cells of human heart growing on a petri dish". Not the same thing.
It kinda work, but not in a source based distro. If you can atomically rebuild @world with changed definition of off_t, then there will be no problem. But source based distro doesn't rebuild @world atomically. It rebuild one package at time, so there would be inconveniences like libc.so has 64-bit off_t, while gcc was build for 32-bit off_t, so gcc stops working. Or maybe bash, coreutils, make, binutils or any other package that is needed for rebuilding @world. At this point you are stuck.

So such upgrade needs care.

Any sufficiently large corporation possesses the resources to gain trust by portraying itself as the 'nice guys,' unlike the others, which is often convincing enough to fool many.

The conviction that every corporation is inherently evil or can turn evil at any point in the future never seems to fail, but many people just aren't that skeptical.

glibc specifically has support for the 32-bit and 64-bit time_t abi simultaneously.

From the post:

The goal of a website like this isn't to get a job. I don't like being ghosted and if companies stop ghosting, that would be great. That's it.

For me, personally, part of the value a site like this comes from knowing how much time to invest into an application. I currently put a lot of time into my applications. I write cover letters. I'll do pre-interview assignments they ask of candidates. It would be nice to know how serious a company is about hiring before I spend my time with someone who has no interest in hiring me. That would be nice.

> The site has the obvious problem that only “ghosting” reports get counted, but not successful interactions.

I do think this is a really good point. Right now, just reporting on the number of bad interactions will bias against companies with a lot of interactions.

> With so many people applying for jobs, and using bots and AI to do that, and then using employers for practice interviews, it seems inevitable that employers will put less effort into follow-up.

This is just stupid. It's your job. Do your job. Ghosting people is indecent. Just because _some_ applicants are awful people isn't a free pass to be indecent to every applicant. Do better.
I have a very hard time believing you actually study “strategy/tactics/politics/psychology/warfare/operant conditioning etc” and also came up with that particular list of book suggestions.

One is from a straight up fraud.

Another is based on an series of interviews with the man who is widely known as the single worst leader the CIA has ever had because he was so paranoid and ever since they got rid of him they have spent every moment warning against ever having another person like him in a leadership position again.

The other I don’t know but seems to be really aligned with this same ultra paranoid worldview but has nothing to do with actual professionals.
I'd argue you're half right.

Yes, it is a good recommendation if the customers have an IT Department.

But I'd argue you're missing the other half.

It's an even better recommendation if the customer is using M365, Google Workspaces, or Apple Business Manager, without an IT Department, since they don't need an IT Department at all to get effectively the same benefit as SSO.

After your initial setup to accept OIDC as the SaaS or PaaS, neither you nor the customer have to do an "integration" to support additional customers of Microsoft, Google, or any other OIDC provider you add. You could let your customer validate an email domain to ensure their sign-ins are theirs, but other than that, once you support OIDC with their provider, nobody has to do anything.

Something on the order of 80% of SMB in the U.S. are on O365/M365 by some measures, and judging from startups here, every tech startup thinks everyone's on Google Workspaces like they are, so that's the other 80%. :-) Toss in socials if you are B2C instead of B2B, and of course Apple IDs if you are targeting users by "wallet share".

You get the key benefit of SSO while your clients do not need to integrate one by one. And...

> Use an open source identity provider or pay someone to do it for you.

Or, don't do that effort at all, use what's baked in and just take the win.
That's the gist of it, yes. The big advantage atom interferometers have over classical IMUs is that they do not need to be recalibrated every so often. They are thus often called "drift free". That still means that you need to compare your position with a reference after a certain time, but the position uncertainty is much lower and only determined by the error accumulating from integration, not due to the instrument itself degrading over time and introducing systematic errors. The reason here is not really "quantum magic" but rather the fact that the reference for the measurement is a laser beam which can be controlled with remarkable precision and accuracy.
