oiaohmvZS1: Just because you have the data sheet of the Microcontrol does not mean you have been given all the documentation.   https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/sandsifter  Its like running sandsifter here on x86 processes and finding stacks of not publicly documented op codes.Nov 03 09:00

oiaohmschestowitz: that there was on github before Microsoft took over that is from  2017.Nov 03 09:02
oiaohmThe reality that x86 cpus had hidden non documented instructions was known before we had meltdown and spectra.Nov 03 09:02
CrystalMathschestowitz: i mean Trump really hasn't been acting like a republican at all, abortion is still legal, and now marijuana is tooNov 03 09:03
oiaohmsel4 also has a hardware validation process and boy did a lot of arm chips fail.Nov 03 09:03
oiaohmvZS1: basically Microcontroller datasheet is not good enough you need to be able to validate that the documentation on have been given is in fact right.Nov 03 09:04
vZS1oiaohm: > There's still hardware to worry about.Nov 03 09:05
vZS1In case you missed itNov 03 09:05

oiaohmDoing sel4 stuff validation you go right down random sample destructive chip inspect.Nov 03 09:06
oiaohmAlong the way you find a lot of horrible.Nov 03 09:07
oiaohmopcode documentation missing like that every 1 in  a million operations the opcode is going to do something different to expected has turned up.Nov 03 09:09
oiaohmvZS1: I agree there is no such thing of absolute guaranteed security.    But there are a few things that will basically cook you ass 100 perecent of the time.    One of those things is trusting that a vendors datasheet is 100 percent truthful.Nov 03 09:10
oiaohmMind you it may not be intentionally wrong it can be basic human error.Nov 03 09:11
mjg59Things like Spectre demonstrate that the datasheet is not adequate for thisNov 03 09:13
mjg59You can be 100% truthful and still not provide complete informationNov 03 09:13
oiaohmIntel x86 cpu documentation before spectre was proven by tests like sandsifter to be not 100 percent truthful.Nov 03 09:15
oiaohmMeltdown on particular platforms you could say is proof a truthful datasheet may not be good enough.Nov 03 09:15
oiaohmpowerpc if you read the datasheet carefully before Meltdown it documented the meltdown problem.Nov 03 09:17

vZS1Data structures, in general, should be designed for humans first. React, Flutter, etc are all cost management tools; they allow a company to hire monkeys to build pretty user interfaces for applications. That's about all they're good for.Nov 03 18:12
vZS1I subscribe to Knuth's principle that programs, in general, should be for humans to read first and computers to interpret later.Nov 03 18:14
vZS1Look at Bash and AWK. After all these decades, they are still relevant because they solve real problems in a way people can interpret easily. They operate on very simple data structures and you can do just about anything with them together.Nov 03 18:17
schestowitzwhere did knuth say that?Nov 03 18:17
schestowitzI find awk hard to read personallyNov 03 18:17
schestowitzperl even harderNov 03 18:17
schestowitzwithout proficiencyNov 03 18:17
schestowitzbash is universal enough in the syntax sense and cli, so if you do sysadmin stuff and know basic constructs, then you're fine following examplesNov 03 18:18
schestowitzwhen incorporating awk I often just copy-paste a block in, as I can barely construct one myself, except the very basic kindNov 03 18:19
vZS1Let us change our traditional attitude to the con-struction of programs: Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.Nov 03 18:23
XRevan86vZS1: Let's call it functional programming.Nov 03 18:23

vZS1Same goes for HMTL and XML. smnthermes was on the money with the shit-storm all these frameworks cause.Nov 03 18:26
vZS1That's why I'm such a big fan of Raku. The language is meant for people.Nov 03 18:27
XRevan86schestowitz: Let's go with that, yea.Nov 03 18:27
XRevan86vZS1: I don't really agree, because Raku allows unnecessary variety that complicates the syntax.Nov 03 18:28
MinceRif "Programs are meant to be read by humans and only incidentally for computers to execute" then it's no problem at all if they're full of bugsNov 03 18:28
XRevan86Would be great if lawyers had the same sentiment.Nov 03 18:29

DaemonFC[m]So almost 101 million in so far.Nov 03 19:36
DaemonFC[m]Count will go up because states have to count it if it arrives by election day although some let it arrive days later if it was postmarked by election day.Nov 03 19:37

DaemonFC[m]I didn't get mine for so long that I just canceled it out and voted in person.Nov 03 19:46
vZS1Those postal votes might just be the deciding factorNov 03 19:46
DaemonFC[m]Probably.Nov 03 19:47
DaemonFC[m]I voted all Democrats straight down the line and for the progressive tax amendment in Illinois.Nov 03 19:47
vZS1I remember reading about the Reps always trying to make it hard for people to voteNov 03 19:47
vZS1Which makes senseNov 03 19:47
DaemonFC[m]The progressive tax would raise $1.6 billion per year for the state while reducing our state taxes (me and Mandy) by about 0.2 percentage points.Nov 03 19:47
vZS1If they can make this postal voting thing a common occurrence, it might just change the entire landscapeNov 03 19:48
DaemonFC[m]In some states, all voting is by mail.Nov 03 19:48
DaemonFC[m]Oregon and Utah have done it for a while now.Nov 03 19:48
