Not really, thanks to cross-compilation. Only a small number of CPUs has really required bootstrapping with direct machine code.

Isn't this bad given that the UK currently operates with a trade deficit?
The largest immigrant groups in Switzerland are from Italy and Germany--countries with which Switzerland has close ethnic and linguistic ties. Same thing with Australia. By far the largest foreign-born groups in Australia are from the U.K. and New Zealand, again countries with which Australia has close ethnic and linguistic ties.

ZFS is great and all, but I'd like to see more comparisons between different ZFS "distros"/forks/versions. Afaik (almost?) all current ones are based on OpenZFS upstream, but it is difficult to find what version of it various distros have used, and what sort of customizations have been added. The main ones I'd be interested in hearing more of are:

* FreeBSD/FreeNAS

* ZFS on Linux/Ubuntu ZFS

* Illumos derivates (SmartOS/OmniOS/OI)
I've found Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) great for that sort of task. Way nicer than kludging something with regexes anyway, and way more powerful.
Presumably, hash indexes are based on hash tables underneath, which don't generally have a stable ordering, even an obtuse one. (Any write could cause the underlying table to get resized, which will cause the contents to get re-ordered.) Perhaps if you can guarantee that writes aren't happening, they might, but I don't think this is generally applicable to most people's use case.

(but range queries / being able to iterate are generally why I prefer btrees, unless I have a good reason. Keep in mind that the O(log n) on B-trees is log with a huge base — it's not power of two. It takes very few disk reads for a b-tree to find its query; it's just not the O(1) of a hash table.)
Editing would be annoying as hell though.
I think that argument can be countered by the prison culture from post WW1 up until the mid 70s. Until the "tough on crime" mantra was paraded around ad nauseum, prisons were largely focused on rehabilitation, not punishment.

Perhaps it was that calvanism somehow seeping back in, but the fact that we got rid of that for at least 40 years means that it's possible we can get back there.
Maybe I'm missing it here, but your points (mostly 1&2) seem to make Google's case _stronger_. I haven't heard about the point that Google let Levandowski sell tech to other companies.

Also Google did their own internal investigation which led to them strongly believing that the theft of important tech and secrets happened.

> The company decided to perform a forensic investigation of Levandowski’s former company computer after a Waymo employee was inadvertently copied on an email from a lidar supplier with the subject line “Otto Files.” The email was being sent to a list of people that Waymo believes were working with Uber. Attached to the email were drawings of Otto’s lidar circuit board.[0]

Seems pretty straight forward

So does this mean that we can put to rest the 'trusting trust' paradigm? As in, use 8cc to bootstrap our way into compiling gcc without using gcc?
>While they cite that the popular vote strongly favored Hilary, they forget why the electoral college was created. To help rural America from being completely ignored while the cities with denser populations sway the votes towards their issues.

This is completely false and baseless. When the electoral college was setup we did not have mega cities that contained most of the population. The Senate was setup to give less populous areas a larger voice. The House is currently setup to give less populous areas a larger voice due to the cap of reps. We don't need every single branch setup to give less populous areas a larger voice, cities currently have extremely low representation compared to rural areas in all regards.
FYI - Abstract

This paper will look at some of the differences between the FreeBSD and OpenBSD operating systems.

It is not intended to be solely technical but will also show the different "visions" and design decisions that rule the way things are implemented. It is expected to be a subjective view from two BSD developers and does not pretend to represent these projects in any way.

We don't want it to be a troll talk but rather a casual and friendly exchange while nicely making fun of each other like we would do over a drink. Of course, we shall try and hit where it hurts when that makes sense. Obviously, we both have our personal subjective preferences and we will explain why. Showing some of the weaknesses may encourage people to contribute in some areas.

Most of the topics discussed here could warrant their own paper and talk and as such some may not get the deep analysis they deserve.

This is a totally biased talk from two different perspectives.
Don't worry, snowboarding gets really easy really quick. If you'd snowboard for a week straight, you'd already be able to go really quick without falling and looking pretty cool along the way. The issue is most people only do it at most 3-4 days a year for just a couple hours, so it looks like it took them "years" to snowboard decently.

I don't think cars are a good example. Cars last much longer and with far fewer significant problems than they used to. A car made in the 1970s would maybe last 100,000 miles, if it didn't rust out first. And it would likely have one or more significant problems in that time (transmission failure, major engine problems, etc).

A new, mass-market quality (e.g. Honda) car made in the last decade will easily go several 100K miles if given basic care, and will probably not have any major problems or be showing much if any rust in that time.

FWIW: it's not hard to obtain hardware that works with Linux-libre. My main machine is a Thinkpad X200S where the restrictive Lenovo BIOS has been replaced with Libreboot, allowing me to install a WiFi card from Tehnoetic (using the Atheros driver).

I have a couple of other machines and only one of them has reduced functionality when using Linux libre (e.g. the on-board Radeon graphics chip needs nonfree firmware for higher resolutions).

Guix and GuixSD makes it easy to use a custom kernel package, so you can choose to use a blobby kernel, if you can accept that.

The point of a type system is 100% guarantees. Honestly, if it fails at that, I'm not sure it becomes useful at all for correctness (it may still be useful for operation overloading).

Now, of course, nearly all systems have many properties that you don't want to enforce by the type system. Proofs are hard work, better do them only where it's easiest or really important.

Yet, most times I hear the phrase "static typing zealots", it comes from somebody that does not have experience with a good type system and is thus completely unable to weight off the work of constructing your types and the one of getting enough tests to be sure your program works.
If you keep following that logic then the UK isn't being democratic either. Its bad for our province, its bad for our neighborhood, its bad for our street, its bad for our house, its bad for me, but you still have to follow it. The line has to be drawn somewhere when there is a government.

Drawing the line at a country level as opposed to an international level is a perfectly valid opinion to have, but I don't think its right to call the UK a functioning democracy and the EU the opposite
Mass 3D printing an item that can already be manufactured through e.g. injection moulding or assembling standardised parts is never going to be efficient at scale. That's not what it's for. Where 3D printing excels is at producing one-offs or short runs, immediate production (no time consuming buildout phase manufacturing moulds and setting up production lines), on-site or mobile manufacturing, or making designs that are not amenable to traditional manufacturing processes such as objects with complex geometries or internal voids.

Okay interesting, thanks. Not just me, glad to hear this.
Prison labor is mostly out of fashion, isn't it? Not that many chain gangs anymore. The ones I do hear about are usually doing dumb things for the government instead of "manufacturing and retail."
> I normally think of any recursion as some kind of descent into deeper levels. Maybe I'm being biased due to awareness of stackframes being a common way to implement recursion.

You can write bottom up algorithms using recursion too. It still technically goes down first, but does the real work on the way up.
I think they have more to gain here by winning the lawsuit even if they have to write off their $250mil investment.

The problem with modern vechicles is that automatic transmission--still. At around 135,000 those sensors, those plates, that OD unit just start to wear out. ... but when it's the Over Drive unit, or the transmission needs a rebuild ...

I don't think OD units are a thing on modern cars anymore. That higher top gear is just going to be another gear inside the transmission. Indeed, on FWD cars with a transaxle, there's really no alternative because it's all a single unit.

Feedback needed: Social app for restaurant lovers based out of friends tips
We've purchased a few, and wanted to develop practical applications for someone in the field looking up materials and conversing with support. The truth is the new Skype beta is already a lot better than the things we've built. It's actually pretty sweet, because even the person who's not on the device can see what the person on it sees and can place holograms and access shared files and such.

I don't think it's geared towards interaction. You can connect any bluetooth device to it, because it's just a Windows 10 machine, but it seems unreasonable to expect the user to be sitting down with keyboard and mouse or to assume they have some kind of gyroscopic mouse. There are some cool games that show what's possible, but data visualization seems to be a huge possibility. At least until they standardize more forms of input.
I've found that eliminating processed foods has cut down on my sugar intake dramatically without specifically focusing on it.
My first project ever as a professional programmer was writing a recursive descent parser - in 1981, in Fortran, of Jovial language code. Of course there were no other choices. Thankfully today you can avoid writing your own, though sometimes it still pays to write it by hand.
Not OP, but I can say from personal observation/experience that while not 'small', Uber has increased taxi use in the general sense in Texas cities that are so car-centric and-or sprawl-like that traditional taxi services were never really popular (Houston, Austin, Dallas, etc) - having more drivers available in an ad-hoc manner has made the dispatch time much more reasonable (minutes vs a hit-or-miss scheduling ordeal of ~1h) and so using taxis (e.g. Uber) as a viable means of transportation, especially for things like social events, is much more common than it was before. I suspect the same is likely in similar places where 'everyone has a car' and the geography is very spread out.
I haven't seen any evidence, even anecdotal, that you can _damage_ yourself from too much meditation, in a way analogous to an elite athlete.

Bad technique can lead to problems like depersonalization, and people can get something like an addiction to jhanas - but as far as I know elite meditators simply get more and more "enlightened". In some cases this may lead them to join a monastery or become a hermit, but whether this is problematic depends on your point of view.
You're right that the electronics are cheap but they're still the first thing to break since they take quit a beating. They might last 30 years in a vacuum but not in a washer.

If you're willing to live without a lock or spend a few bucks for new parts then you can keep your machine running perpetually but you basically have to buy an old or commercial unit for the availability of parts.
Is your theory that absent subsidies no one would prefer an Uber over a taxi? Because if not, presumably Uber could just raise prices and hunker down for 10 years. (Assuming they survive lawsuits and assorted revelations) Is their another clock that prevents them not just from not just growing, but existing?
Yea I was pretty much blown away by the difference between the Bloomberg feature in last week's Businessweek and the blog post that was submitted here earlier. Paints Levandowski in a MUCH better light with sources and high level interviews.
It's that, plus a number of other things:

- Rust is low-level enough to write sanakirja, which is pijul's database backend, in a clean way, without having to decode/re-encode tons of things from disk all the time.

- Types! A sane (as in "mathematically sound") type system. That sentence is easy to misinterpret if you've not written actual programs (of more than ten lines) in functionnal programming, but types are essential for a program several dozens of thousands of lines long, in total. It basically means that we could refactor our code many times without fear.

- Rust's community is awesome. I had never seen anything like that before.

- Support for threads, both low-level and easy.

That said, Turing-complete programming languages won't prevent anyone from doing stupid things, by definition. I'm not sure about the particular focus on parsing: non-parsing tasks also required a bit of thinking.
Perhaps you could explain this more? It seems to me that many first-world countries regulate much more than the United States (ie single payer or similar) and have lower costs.

For example, Boca Raton in Florida is a wealthy area that had no taxi service until Uber. You literally had to get a limousine to go somewhere. Now its simple and cheap to get an Uber.

No, at least not in the sense of an anthropomorphic God who is a "big grey-bearded guy in the sky" who actively meddles in human affairs, created the universe with a word, etc. Now if you fiddle with definitions such that by "god" you basically just mean "the fundamental laws of nature" then sure.

Why? Because I have seen no evidence for any typical deity/god. And to the extent that there are questions that science can't yet answer, adding a "god" variable doesn't add any new information, it just moves the goal-posts and adds complexity.

And as for religions and their purported knowledge, I find that generally they allow for no testable / falsifiable predictions, or when they do, attempts to verify their predictions pretty much always fail. Also, religious texts like the Bible contain things that blatantly contradict established science or are otherwise absurd and unbelievable.

And while I'm a science skeptic as well, to a point, science and our knowledge of the natural world has enabled real, tangible outcomes like steam engines, cars, jet airplanes, computers, lasers, electric lights, radar, the Internet, etc. This is a much better record than any religion I know of, as far as yielding tangible outcomes.
I don't have numbers in my user or installation manuals, but the previous model year supposedly used 11.7 US gal per load, or under 4 per fill. Living in the desert, I feel good about my choice of washing machine ($22-29 monthly water bill).

Regardless, it's less than the top-load I replaced. Front-load washers are supposed to be more efficient and use less water.

It would be fun to wrap it in a mobile app and customize it for Siri. You could probably generate some decent input speed considering a phone doesn't have a physical keyboard.

Anyway, nice project.
Refining iron or aluminum from ore takes significant energy because you're basically un-rusting it, and that reaction naturally runs the other way; recycled metal gets to reuse that energy investment.

I thought the glass process was basically melting sand and adding some trace additives, rather than forcing any chemical reactions uphill. Recycled glass also needs melted (if it doesn't, that's called a reusable bottle, not recycling).

As a random example from Perl, Unmatched ( in regex... is the error when you open a capturing group in a regex and fail to close it.

In a recursive descent parser, this type of error is very easy to generate because working top down you know what you are in the middle of trying to do when you hit the error. But a bottom up parser lacks that context - it just knows where it was when it got stuck.

There are a lot of skeptical comments in this thread, but remember: Apple has revolutionized past industries like phones and tablets where other competitors failed miserably. A compelling AR product can and will exist eventually, and all this article is saying is that Apple will be competing in the AR field.

An aside, but I can imagine AR done right being extremely useful. I love the idea of being able to instantly have access to information on my phone, but it always requires typing or voice input. I could totally see just looking at something and tapping a button triggering a card that says "that thing you're looking at is this."

While that's just my dream, I'd much rather see people experimenting with new technologies rather than forgoing it with "Apple can't do X right, how can they do Y?" If anything, it could be because Apple is working on Y that X is taking a backseat for a while.

Passing via the stack is slow, it requires pointer indirection and forcing entities that reside in registers into memory (because of SRA, purely local structures might already reside only in registers).

The AMD64 ABI was designed to allow passing aggregates via registers, the same as for scalars (many x86 ABIs passed everything in memory), this way aggregating some related parameters in a structure for whatever reason does not imply a performance penalty.

BTW passing small structures by value is actually now fairly common in C++, although objects that are not trivially copyable must always be passed via stack through an hidden pointer parameter even in the by-value case.

Large objects must be passed on the stack of course if there are not enough registers to store them (the ABI define exactly when that's necessary).
It seems to me that your points 2 and 3 are one and the same.
This is still true under the default filing workflow. But the USPTO has mitigated problem with a new program that lets you pay a few thousand dollars and have your case examined w/in a year. Allowances within six months are not impossible. But it's expensive.
Yes, and quite unjustifiably so in my opinion, which is why I sourced all those links in my comment. From what I've seen, Numenta is very good at a specific class of problems (time series prediction and anomaly detection).

Feel free to underestimate them. It's really not my problem.

And do pompous, abrasive comments like yours really add anything to the discussion? Why don't you elaborate on why they are a "joke" to serious intellectuals like yourself.
Have you measured the average power draw of this box? Does the hardware support wake from LAN traffic sent to it?
So is your argument that there should never be any taxes of any kind (anarcho-primitivism)?

I didn't say anything that even implied that. Clearly there are public goods that are best handled by a government.

My reply was directed specifically at a comment that proposed a tax to address environment problems caused by planned obsolescence. I was showing that the proposal doesn't actually do anything to eliminate the environmental externality.

If you can show me a more complete proposal that (a) really does address the environmental impact as part of the program; and also (b) addresses Public Choice economics (meaning that it accounts for regulatory capture, capriciously re-purposing the funds by politicians, etc.), then we can talk about it.
