Long term there is a huge market for server-oriented CPUs that can compete with Intel Xeon, which currently has a near monopoly in the server market. Note that a lot of companies are already working on this: Ampere (ARM), Amazon (Graviton3,

In some trite sense what you're saying is true, but if autonomous vehicles are widely available and cheap they'll drastically reduce vehicle ownership rates, which will help improve the status quo for most of the problems you list

How would you use the "derived personality" to identify those that you would get on well with? Even if you can come up with some kind of meaningful distance metric, it's definitely not clear that that's useful for matchi

This is incorrect. For one thing, you're going to need to overload all the operators that mutate the integer in place, e.g. operator++, operator +=, operator -=, operator *=, shifts, etc. And those checks can be quite expensive. For ex

The most notable new feature is the rewritten command substitution parsing code, which calls the bison parser recursively. This replaces the ad-hoc parsing used in previous versions, and allows better syntax checking and catches syntax erro

With regards to his recent rating increase, Hans' rating increase is not completely unprecedented but it's still very rare. The issue isn't that he's a mid-2600s player, or even that he's increased by 200 points in

Placement new is kind of niche but it's not as rare as you might think, especially if you consider cases where you're using it through some other abstraction. For example, in C++ std::shared_ptr is implemented as the the object yo

Do personal projects in some other lower level language you're interested in. Keep a personal blog and write about what you've done. Then apply to companies that are interesting to you. Obviously you will likely have to apply for

Generally new features in protobuf are just new features, so if a new feature is added then the worst case is the documentation will be out of date/incomplete for a short period of time. For the most part the "constraint tightenin

That is part of it, but it's not the full story. In earlier multi-core CPUs each core was basically its own chip with its own resources that could operate nearly fully independently from the other cores (although not completely indep

25mg is not a small dose if you're actually measuring the psilocybin rather than the dried weight of the mushroom fruit. The exact psilocybin weight ratio depends on the strain of mushroom, but typically dried P. Cubensis is about 1% p

Don't the Google Cloud docs (that you linked to in your post) explicitly say how to handle this issue? They say that you need to add a "Vary: Accept-Encoding" to your response headers if you don't want to cache the gzip

This is all correct and I'd also add that ld.so doesn't need to have any special knowledge of glibc (or the kernel) in the first place. From the POV of ld.so, glibc is just another regular ELF shared object that uses the same feat

I'm still surprised by the $10k payout given the disclosure timeline. For example they indicate that on 2022-05-04 there was a "conference call between Quarkslab engineers, Google Android Security Team members, and a Titan enginee

I don't have any links but the way I would recommend doing this in production is a replication topology like A -> B -> {C, D, E, ...}. In this notation A is the master database, B is a replica of A, and {C, D, E, ...} are all rep

Obviously YMMV but my team is at least 75% Linux laptops, so my experience doesn't match yours at all.

A sufficiently smart compiler can obviously do any optimization that we can think of, but in practice the kind of optimization described in this article is very difficult to actually implement in an optimizing compiler. The CRC algorithm li

The idea that you can have an alternate ISA that's designed for high level languages like lisp with fast pointer tagging and garbage collection is a myth that isn't really supported by the history. A huge reason for the demise of

I don't know about the GNSS pipeline specifically but I used to work at Cruise, and most things at Cruise are written in C++ (although there's a smattering of Python for data/ML code that runs offboard).

That's fine if you're talking about languages you use infrequently, but if you can't declare and populate an associative array in the main language you're interviewing in you shouldn't be surprised if your interview
