Well the current ToS say: > YouTube reserves the right to discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time. So this, the notification, and the ability to appeal seem like significant improvements.

You would attribute programs and services written in Go, that would have been worse in another language, to Go's success.
756.
by dooglius 7y ago
The title is a bit confusing, actually means things they attribute Go's success to.

This looks like more of a case of glibc not working well with one particular combination of options. I don't think libc really holds anyone back considering it does still expose a syscall wrapper.

I disagree, anything not written in inline assembly can potentially lead to the compiler modifying the stack which violates the assumption.

posix_spawn is a wrapper around fork/do some setup/exec which is the most common way fork is used. Also, fork is normally implemented as a wrapper around clone FWIW. > I don't think he even understands the concept of progr

by dooglius 7y ago
Not a very good article IMHO. In addition to not explaining things well, it doesn't discuss posix_spawn or clone which are much preferable and more extensible ways to launch processes.

> Accessing a char value as if it were a different type just isn’t allowed. Is this still bad if you have the proper alignment (by attribute or implicit placement in a struct), or have it wrapped in a packed struct? There's a lot of

The problem/mystery is more that the double-slit experiment and other quantum phenomena are always presented in a hand-wavy way where it's not clear how it derives from the mathematical formalisms.

So what happens if you plug your laptop into a docking station that has its own backlight? What if a new laptop comes out that has multiple backlights (perhaps of different colors)? In both of these circumstances the assumption that there i

You would just prove that it is equivalent to a simple specification of the axiomatic system.

I don't think that fully captures it, Google is an advertising company, and so its incentives are all out of whack. For instance, Google probably benefits from having the top results be slightly less useful as that makes the ads at the

I wonder if Allen considered that there might be a reason people chose to use C, it's not as if they were forced into it. "Something where experts can really fine-tune without big bottlenecks" is not a requirement specific to

Most of that is the refrigeration system needed to keep the device cold enough, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_refrigerator

That's true, if you pre-sample you can beat the test. Is that the effect you think the calibration is having? > Once you lose coherence, you have to re-calibrate I didn't realize this, where did you see that?
771.
by dooglius 7y ago
There's no "answer" to precalculate, it's drawing from a distribution. Could you calibrate a non-quantum circuit to have a distribution passing the test? Supposedly, this is not possible even given arbitrary pre-computat

by dooglius 7y ago
Even if the calibration process "cheats", why should we care? It's not like being practical is the goal. After the calibration is done, you still have a device that can do something believed intractable on classical computers

EDIT: I was mistaken about BSD not being considered Free Software, rmusial below explains the situation much better. Better examples of the difference are given in the link he provides.

It's the other way around, "Free Software" is a subset of open source

As a developer, you do some builds on your local box, so it's really up to you what filesystem you use.

Well, that's not entirely true, even if two random bits are independent, xor-ing them only gives you one random bit. What actually happens in Linux is that each new input of random bits gets pushed through a cryptographic hash, before
