Swift is mainstream because Apple replaced Objective-C with it for iOS and said that it's new standard for writing apps. How much of Swift is written out of Apple ecosystem? Not much.
Someone working at Twitter told me they're losing money due to paying off earlier employees' equity grants rather than cost of operation. Continuing to run the company for growth will probably ruin it, since nobody has any good ideas except continuing to turn it into Facebook.

(IMO this is the problem with starting your big company in SF - you'll just get employees who leave your competitors and think the same way they do.)
When indigenous peoples work to make use of all of an animal we call it respect.

Do it in a factory and all of the sudden it is gross.

There's pet foods that advertise on the TV that they don't contain any chicken byproduct meal. The horror of feeding a dog stuff it would be happy to eat.
I can think of two different things that could match your description:

- An old call, ptrace(PT_DENY_ATTACH), which prevents the process that calls it from being debugged (with either ptrace or dtrace). iTunes calls this. It's always been rather easy to circumvent, either by attaching before the process has the chance to make the call, or by installing a kext that disables the functionality.

- System Integrity Protection broadly prohibits debugging of system processes, as well as kernel tracing via dtrace. But SIP can be disabled by the user, by design.

Kernel debugging in particular is explicitly supported by Apple in the form of Kernel Debug Kits, which consist of debug symbols for the open source parts of the kernel, as well as variant builds with more debugging stuff enabled at compile time. Peeking at the proprietary parts is presumably against the license agreement but not technically restricted in any way (hard to imagine what such a restriction would look like).
Why don't you just read the readme? The additional features are at the top, and examples in the body.
I can't think of much real originality in Rust. It just brings together "exotic" features from lesser-known languages.

I think you're right. Except for the borrow checker, which was a major breakthrough.

The reality is that nobody acknowledges the impact of agriculture. Remember that a very large amount of those transportation costs are associated with agriculture as well, so really it's more like 30% of agriculture. 30% of emissions, basically all for dairy.

That's disgusting.
> Set of non-kings is not ill-defined, not in the same way as set of numbers non-describable by any formal system is.

Um... roughly the same. Is Robert Mugabe a king? Since we didn't give a clear and precise definition of "king" you can't really say.
Taking 'personal responsibility' does nothing. I'm not going to forgo travelling overseas from NZ once every few years because some American thinks I'm 'using up my carbon budget'.

It's not my personal fucking responsibility. Its yours. Your country is the one ruining the environment, backing out of carbon treaties, polluting the world. It's you, not me. NZ has a dairy industry, yes, but I don't vote for parties that support it.

Nobody is saying you should 'wait for government'. Don't 'wait' for anything. Do. Change the government, push government in the direction you want it to go in.

You know what would go much further than 'buying less stuff made in China'? Not wasting so much fuel shipping the absurd quantity of stuff you Americans consume on a day-to-day basis around your enormous country.
I created one a long time ago for reasons that seem to show up in others. Those included: Lisp-style macros are raw productivity/power; incremental, per-function compilation plus REPL = blazing, iteration speed; if using LCD of features, I can synthesize to more than one language/VM target; I can automate safety checks for C pitfalls without looking at cluttered code; way cleaner way to handle errors with similar benefit.

Sadly, I lost that tool in a triple, HD crash along with most work. Loved it, though. I never even fully learned LISP or C but the subsets let me crank out tons functionality really fast then run it through optimizing C compilers.
Is that not what's happening here? Except GHC has the recursive backtracking built in? The code looks a lot like the equivalent Prolog implementation.
This looks really nice. A low level Lisp as a system programming language - a C replacement - is an interesting idea. First thought after going through the readme: does it try to provide stable ABI? This is an important feature for a C replacement; for example, C++ has not managed to get it right, although the idea was to provide a better, object oriented C... What worries me in particular is that Dale has overloaded functions, that makes things harder as far as stable API is concerned, but maybe I'm wrong. Nice stuff, anyway. I can see a little PLT trend of new high level languages that want to be good in doing low level stuff and don't use GC. I like that!
Puppet can do templates just fine in masterless mode. Though nowadays, you should use EPP instead of ERB for robustness (strong typing helps a lot)

Your puppet master can be your credential "database" if you use eg. hiera+eyaml. You still need to secure your puppetmaster, obviously, but since it uses public key crypto, you don't even need to make it possible for developers to decrypt secrets. Master key leaks would still be a problem, though.

There are various caveats when working with sensitive data in Puppet (4.something added the "Sensitive" data type which prevents things from leaking into catalogs) but since puppet clients are authenticated with client certificates, you can control which server should have have access to what data.
They're not riding into the sunset so much as being ridden out of town on a rail (of the non-Ruby variety).
I think you are mixing up Godel (incompleteness of axiomatic systems) and Cantor (uncountable reals).

Timing wise Cantors proof was done the year before Lebesque was born; Cantor was a generation before Lebesgue, and Fourier a generation before that iirc. Godel's is a generation younger than Lebesgue. Lesbesgue and Borel were working at the same time - Godel was very young when he published his incompleteness theorem in the 1930s.

Well, I think this picture sums up a lot of thoughts on this subject: https://xkcd.com/1200/

In a nutshell, your user account has all your data, all your session cookies, all your logins and passwords, all your documents.... Everything.

And what can root/Administrator do? That's right, play with device drivers and systems stuffs. Once you have the primary user's account, unless it's a multiuser system, it's game over.

Just with user creds, I can start encrypting files to #evil_private_key , emailing browser data, keylogging, screencapping, data injection, and being a general nuisance.

The only good defense I've seen to this is what Qubes incorporates: Zones. It's virtual machines, with unique unspoofable borders, that you can configure to only allow the minimum amount of permission the container needs. Bank Zone only needs to talk to bank and financial websites. It doesn't need sound, or direct graphics access. Tor Zone allows talking through TCP on specified ports to and from, to allow Tor across system.

In that case, yes a specific system could be compromised, but using containers like that keeps damage limited.
I don't ascribe the entire failure to this, but we've put significant barriers in the way of a self-motivated learner.

Chief among these is the arbitrary requirement of many employers that a college degree, and particularly a degree specialized in the career field, is mandatory before any employment can occur.

Not only does this incur significant financial cost, but it also incurs a completely untenable time cost for most people aged 25+, who need to provide both physically and emotionally for themselves and their families.

While one could argue such credentials are important for life-or-death fields like engineering and medicine, the fact of the matter is that most college grads come out with a degree in a soft skill that doesn't really hold a strong relevance to the job they go on to fill in the workforce.

In reality, a college education functions as little more than a class filter. If we want improve accessibility for the self-taught and make merit more meaningful, we should stop demanding arbitrary credentials for jobs that don't really need them.
What? No. You cannot just kill your dog for any reason. That is illegal, immoral, and inhumane.
This is true. But also, in New York City at least, it will still be an opportunity for those who live in the city to attend college locally while still living at home.

That's because UAC in windows is worthless, it's a broken version of sudo that fails to do the one thing necessary, force a re-authentication of credentials. There's little point in popping up a warning than people can simply click right past without requiring admin credentials.
I've never been to a casino where I can't use cash to get chips for that hand's stake at any dealer's table. The friction of cashing out has always been low as well by going to the cash-out points by each exit.
make use of all of an animal

This does not imply eating the entire animal.
Sure, knowing your way around the ecosystem is a thing. But that ecosystem has to exist and be kept up to date. And you wouldn't want to hire someone who was too keen on reinventing the wheel anyway...

Plus, it is a slam dunk case that most organisations will not benefit from choosing a "best" language for every project or use case and should instead settle on as few as possible... One HLL (e.g. Python or Tcl or Perl) and one low-level (C or C++) is probably the best bet for 99% of organisations.
Well, OK. It doesn't negate my main point. If 50% can get into a state school, then it is not very competitive in the US.

(BTW, I didn't mean to imply 1050 was my school's requirement. I just happen to know it was above the requirement as I knew several students who got in with scores around 1050...)
In a time long ago, a place far away, I did some COBOL. Wasn't even on IBM. Fortran too. But it might take more than a time machine to make me COBOL Cowboy.
So, you don't view it as lucky your were born with that much self worth to enable you to be that successful. I think most of the people don't invest in themselves because they see themselves failing at it.
I kind of want to buy some Twitter stock just so I can vote for this proposal. Shame the board lacks vision beyond "maximize shareholder value". Yes yes, fiduciary duty, etc. etc. There's more to life than the value of your stock.
I used one that almost did what you ask. I refused to work with C++ codebases. Better to start with a language actually designed for metaprogramming, etc that thrn synthesizes C. If it has IDE & ecosystem, you get its language-level benefits then C's on tooling side. Win, win.
> 9/11 was done by the government

One does have to wonder why, though, despite being one of the largest civilian tragedies ever to happen on our soil, no forensic analysis of the destroyed structure was done. Instead it was all picked up, put in trucks, then shipped overseas to be recycled.

Then, virtually out of nowhere, we get a multi-hundred page document produced laying out new legislation (aka US PATRIOT Act), which was so swiftly voted on and passed that it was absolutely apparent that little to none of it had been read (or if it had, it was read long before it was ever introduced!); we know for a fact that many congresspersons admitted to not reading it before voting on it!

Neither of these things had to happen. Both could have been done differently. Forensic analysis of the structure could have been performed. It would have been expensive, it would have been an engineering nightmare - but it could have been done. We are able to piece together down passenger jets; this would have been an order of magnitude or more greater in difficulty - but had we tried, we could have done it, and our knowledge would be that much better to make decisions with.

But we didn't. And we still don't have an answer for why it wasn't done. I'm not even certain that the question has been raised much.

Instead, we relied upon gut instincts and other emotional factors to pass a piece of legislation that appeared out of nowhere fully written, which couldn't have been developed in the short amount of time it was. It was as if the material presented was already available, waiting for the moment it could be unveiled. Shades of ALEC legislation, in fact. But it wasn't questioned, and those that did question it were called anti-American or worse, for daring to wonder why such wide reaching legislation wasn't honestly reviewed and debated upon by our representatives in government. We are still living with the repercussions of that decision today.

These items are two distinct but intertwined pieces of history which have changed our country and the world. There are many other questions about that day and the days that followed which we the people don't have answers for, or the answers we do have seem vague, even deceptive, when examined closely.

I'm not saying the "government did it", nor am I saying anything that the current understood narrative doesn't say. I'm more interested in what the narrative leaves out, what it doesn't say, what it doesn't explore - and why it isn't being explored, and why we continue to let it be unexplored. Likely, it is already too late to get any answers for these unanswered, and in some cases unasked questions which surround that fateful day in our history.

We probably fear what the answers would reveal, which is why we didn't ask the questions, and why we suppressed those who dared to.
nice points. Def know there is not a language to rule them all. I'm a ruby fan - its "good enough" but def full of faults. I just wanted know the pros and cons of PHP so I properly weigh my options.

you could also say using color seems like a waste of time when you could just vary letterforms. e-ink is nicer for your eyes but expensive if you want color. how one goes about highlighting their code depends on a number of constraints; if you want a display that's easier on the eyes you might use methods other than color to highlight your code. it's not easier or harder or any more or less natural or anything.

me personally, i've always used color vary sparingly, if at all, because a bunch of highly contrasting colors ends up looking, to my eye, like vomit soup without really clarifying anything.

This is kinda the point of OP, police violence has become so common-place that we take it as normal happenstance when it's used. There's an air of expected guilt for anyone on the receiving side of the violence but no doubt whatsoever on whether the violence was necessary in the first place.
There are tradeoffs with both design, I know that I use secondary indexes in quite a lot of my queries, so the way Postgres handles them are much better in my case... but in someone else's use case (Uber) it could be terrible for performance.

When I click that link I get a blank page with a spinner saying "loading docs" for several seconds before anything actually loads... and it's just a bunch of static text content.

Why does it take several orders of magnitude too long to load? Makes me very concerned to implement it in any production application of my own.
Apple didn't replace Obj-C. They added Swift alongside it. Literally nobody is being forced to switch, and all of Apple's frameworks are still written in Obj-C (they can't be written in Swift until Swift has ABI stability).

Yes, Apple's weight helped Swift tremendously. But people are switching from Obj-C to Swift because they think it's better, not because Apple's making them.

> How much of Swift is written out of Apple ecosystem? Not much.

Not much yet, because the Linux support is still missing a lot, but it's being filled in quickly, and a lot of people seem to be excited about being able to start using Swift on Linux.

> I for one won't trust CDNs (including CDNJS) for anything durable any longer, which seems a big loss for Cloudflare.

Why? This has nothing to do with CDNs. This is a single account that can't afford to pay the bill anymore. CloudFlare itself isn't going anywhere.

You can use https://www.jsdelivr.com which is one of the best open-source hosts backed by several networks - or just host everything yourself and put a CDN in front for your own users.
There's a few reasons why they're doing this.

My little brother ran one of the top 10 Minecraft servers a couple years ago. On a good day, he'd average 1000 players online during US hours. His server had a bunch of minigames with the most popular ones being a clone of Call of Duty and Star Wars Battlefield in Minecraft.

This was monetized on the backend by charging players money for in-game items. It was fairly regular for a player on his server to pay $100+ to have access to an in-game gun or other virtual item he'd created on his server. I won't say how much he was making but it definitely was enough to pay several thousand dollars in monthly server bills and $3-5k/month to Youtubers who would drive traffic to the server.

The top 3 servers were pulling well into 7 figures a year each for virtual items that would often disappear or for a kit loadout in a minigame that would be gone the next month. A lot of these guys churned through user bases pretty quickly but it didn't stop the endless flow of 13 year olds with their parents credit card. None of them offered support options and there wasn't really a way to get a refund after you'd spent $100 on a virtual kit on a 3rd party server mod.

I think part of the reason Microsoft is doing this is to regulate the number of angry calls they were getting by parents of kids who spent way too much money on servers that Microsoft had no control over. Not to mention this will let them get a scoop of what I'd estimate to be a side income stream of at least $200m/year in revenue through 3rd party servers.
I did. I saw lots of examples, but no answers to the questions I posed. The one source of rationale I saw was Lisp-like with no GC.

Additionally, my comment was not directed solely at Dale, but new language announcements in general.
I understand, but I don't think we can put the blame on the consumer alone. When all pretty-much compete on price alone, we can only compare on price alone.
The absolute profit is only around measured 5% even today. I wouldn't exactly call that a great margin.

You would if you were a grocer. Deregulated airlines have low margins; that's a fact of life. They pay fuel bills, they pay interest, the executives steal what they can, and the unions take everything else. When they miscalculate and pay the unions so much they can't cover their bonds, they reorganize through bankruptcy.

None of this is new, and none of this justifies racist violence.
That can easily change. Tons of universities require students to live n years on campus.
But how are the companies providing these job opportunities in any way shape for form to blame for these people having fewer options?

The real culprit here are conditions both systemic and on the individual level that led these individuals to have fewer options. Blaming the companies that are at least providing an option is misplaced and misguided.
Correct, I don't mean to imply that no species are cannibalistic; as you note, some instances are well-known.

Nevertheless, cannibalism can be a real risk for some species and adaptations to prevent it are useful, especially in the case of mammals.

Personally, I'm thinking of building a FreeNAS for photo storage / media, but unfortunately I've only got a four-drive array SuperMicro rack server (spare one I have from decomissioning a business).

Other things I'm interested in is perhaps hosting a few gaming servers and such for friends/family (Minecraft, etc.)

Hard to find uses for it other than offline-lowpower-media-storage.
Note that the probability of randomly picking a rational number from [0,1] is exactly 0. That is, with P=1 you will end up with an irrational number, not representable in any modern computer.

There's a lot we don't understand about how things relate and how our minds work and the deeper nature of reality sure.

But also we sometimes correlate things that aren't necessarily correlated because we are just walking talking shitting correlation machines and it's what we do.

I don't mean to say "all in your head" like it's a bad thing though. My opinion is that most things are at the end of the day so I hope it's not offensive.
Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that the practice is kind of fucked up on a conceptual level.
Interesting concept- do you have a product/prototype yet?
My counter question is why would you want to?

TempleOS was created with specific goals in mind and is a fun neat oddity because of it. What is there to gain by adding networking and modernizing it in other ways?

In my opinion TempleOS is like knowing about that weird thing in your home town that only people who grew up there know about. No one knows why it exists but it does. Trying to modify it to make it more modern and get more eyes on it just feels like it goes against the idea of what it is.
You'd need to have bought it before the record date though.
I think that "passion" is over-claimed and over-rated.

I just get on with stuff, stuff that I think makes the world a little better each day.

And I concur with many of the points made in other replies, eg others are often faking it madly and you don't have to be the best in the world to be worth the oxygen that you breathe.

You will most likely feel batter in time. Give yourself time, and reduce some of the stresses that are making you feel bad.

I know how bad one can feel, but the very fact that you are reflective and thoughtful means that you're likely one of the good ones! Hang in there!
