I fail to see this as a problem. I would be completely fine if I hadn't learnt about theory of evolution in school. Why does anyone who does not work in a field that requires the knowledge of evolution need to know about it? It's nothing more than useless trivia for the most part. However, Nazis and now globalists have tried to use it for political purposes. It's better left to higher education where it is taught with proper context where it is actually useful.

Man I am telling you, get this font.

It is a 100% clone of the actual vt220 font, and therefore is the ultimate in green-screen retro awesomeness.

Basically, by getting this font and using it (esp on a BSD)
you have the original 'theme' for the Unix CLI, since pretty much everyone (yes being hyperbolic) used real UNIX (or 'BSD UNIX' as it was called before the suit) on VAX with DEC terminals around this time when most of the core CLI tools that make up the core of the system to this day were being developed.. Things just look 'right'.

As a vt220 owner and amateur Unixologist,
I am very glad for this font.

> Saying "there's more space and apps can be bigger" is not an explanation for _why_ the apps are bigger.

In large multi-app companies it leads to product decisions on bundling vs. shipping separate apps. For example, Uber vs. UberEATS.

The latter would probably benefit from being bundled in the former and having immediate access to a wider audience, but it's asset-rich as it's much more visual.
I'm not sure if a 5c user would get that 2gb app or an optimized version. But if the question is tradeoffs, and that 2gb number holds that is 1/8 and 1/4 of the 8gb and 16gb phone. Also, iirc I only had ~5gb after the OS and apple preinstalled software. >40% is not a possible or sustainable portion of storage. Worst case they get dropped, best case intermittently installed and deleted.

Introduction to Test Driven Development
Hanson's "Adventure #1" is the promotion of futarchy, or rule by (prediction) markets. This is one call I fervently hope goes unanswered. It's the most dangerous sort of bad idea - namely, one that produces good results in small-scale trials.

Prediction markets perform great, so long as they don't matter. The idea is that you make a contract that pays out if some future event occurs (eg "pay the holder $1 if Donald Trump is re-elected in 2020"), and then you trade it on an exchange (like the stock market). If the market price is $0.50, that means a 50% chance of Trump winning. This produces much better estimates than listening to pundits on TV, because traders profit by being right (rather than, eg, getting good ratings, or looking good to their boss). Prediction markets perform very well in studies, and so Hanson et al propose we should use them to make all our decisions.

That's where things go from empirically great to predictably terrible. Goodhart's Law[1] says that if you use a measure to control a process, it stops being a good measure. (Think of the Soviet nail factory which was rewarded for each ton of nails produced - so produced a single, massive nail each day.)

If you make decisions based on a prediction market, any successful pump-and-dump scammer can control your decisionmaking. Put another way, every decision can be bribed (by someone willing to lose enough money moving the market price).

Proponents counter that the market will self-correct (eg it's difficult to move IBM's stock price much just by betting on it, cause lots of people will bet against you). But the S&P 500 is a well-developed, liquid market. If futarchy were ever implemented, the policy equivalent of the Pink Sheets[2] would be carnage.

1. While I doubt it'll be used very much, consider adding calories for completeness if nothing else:

1000 kcal -> joules

or

1000 Cal -> joules

You might also throw in cal for just for fun[1]!

2. Change Variables to Constants. I think this is more in keeping with standard jargon.

[1]: cal is based on the gram while Cal or kcal is based on the kilogram.

Because it was never a truly awful product. Yes it had some bugs but it was no worse than what we were seeing with Oracle or Cassandra.

PostgreSQL calls their database the "most advanced", Oracle calls theirs "#1 Database for Cloud Scale Simplicity". It's just regular marketing fluff.

When I was growing up, I moved around a ton because of my Dad's career. Between a bad stutter and the stigma of always being the new kid, making friends was never easy. But, I learned some amazing things about networking. Odd, isn't it, how some of the worst things that happen to us as kids turn out to be some of our greatest gifts as adults??

Here are some of the best things that I learned.

1.) Don't approach people who are standing alone; approach groups of two. Whenever you approach a group of two, there is a very good chance that at least one of the two want out of the conversation.

2.) Learn to smile whenever you see someone.

3.) If you smile at the same person twice, it is time to introduce yourself.

4.) You don't matter. Ask lots of questions and put the focus on the person who you are talking to.

5.) Proximity is very important. If you want to make friends in a hurry, learn to situate yourself in a place with a steady stream of people. Standing at a buffet table is a cliche because it works.

That same app written in 17kloc of objective c code would be significantly smaller. The reason why it's small is because it just doesn't have a lot of code.

All other things being equal, a swift app is much larger. The article also is just talking about binary sizes, not about all the other graphical assets.

Someone wrote something that's similar to X. If you are so well versed in GNU tools, you surely old enough to know that this happens all the time, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. People like scratching the proverbal itch and creating stuff. What's there to "not get" and what's the point in feigning a surprise and implying OP's ignorance along the way?

If you want to mention that X exists, just say that -"There's X, which is similar. Have you seen it?"

@krasin Thanks for the input. From my understanding ThinLTO is intended to bring compilation speed of LTO builds closer that of non-LTO builds. Prior to the change you are referring to with merged modules, it seems this was achieved by optimizing multiple .bc modules in parallel during link time (using summery information from thin-link) [1].

Is there any high-level information of the design behind merged modules? Are they simply a concatenation of .bc files with a table of file offsets for each module?

I am new to ThinLTO and the work related to merged modules, so any information providing insight would be appreciated.

As for the llir/llvm project. It includes a .ll parser, but relies on the LLVM toolchain for converting .bc files into .ll; i.e.

llvm-dis -o foo.ll foo.bc

This decision has been taken so that we can focus time on maintaining good support for one of the isomorphic LLVM IR forms.

Any application which requires good performance should definitely make use of the official LLVM C++ library for interacting with LLVM IR.

The llir/llvm project is intended for those who wish to write tools in Go which consume, produce, process or manipulate LLVM IR.

Future releases of llir/llvm will try to get closer in performance to the official LLVM C++ library, but at this point of the project the aim is to iron out a good API for interacting with LLVM IR, and to have fun coding :)

For those interested, the llir/llvm project was born to support the requirements of a decompiler project [2] which decompiles LLVM IR to Go source code. The llir/llvm project has since become a general purpose library, and is now looking for anyone curious to try it out at this early stage to provide feedback on its API and design.

Go decompile using an optional or an array, or interfacing with an Obj-C lib, you'll be surprised how much ASM is generated.

You'll also be surprised how much stuff is reduced in swift 4. Swift is still in beta, lots of low hanging fruit to improve still.
This sounds like the most probable explanation for some experiences I had which I couldn't explain so far.

I've visited festivals that obviously hired professional people for their sound and had rather well-known bands on their line up (Iron Maiden and Hammerfall, for example) and that had terrible sound.

The volume would be cranked up way to much, proving to be even beyond the limits of the equipment, which led to the sound mostly being very obviously oversaturated. All the while I couldn't imagine being near the place without ear protection, which made the whole thing even more pointless.

Honestly, setups like that only ruin the experience of the paying customer. I can't fathom the idea that no-one who is organizing such events isn't having a sincere word with their sound crew after the first song.

The government is involved. The CFAA and similar laws allow Facebook et al to crush anyone who attempts to break their stranglehold. That's exactly the problem. Alternatives to Facebook that may have otherwise been wildly successful were sued out of existence this way.

The government has given Facebook offensive weapons against competitors. They either need to respond by giving the consumer defensive weapons against corporations whose zeal for intellectual property seeks to block or subsume the consumer's access to the marketplace, or they need to remove their interference all together.
There's obviously a balance to be struck. But motorists kill a lot of people, make a lot of noise and pollution, and use a lot of infrastructure that city-dwellers must pay to maintain. So I think it is not out of bounds to consider reducing the footprint of a city that is dedicated to them. To the extent demand supports it, there will still be private parking and valet services.

I'm not worried about the housing costs issue. I think it is likely that any city council able to overcome the action-potential of banning cars will also be quite pro-housing.
No one would use submarines for the first strike in a major war unless it was to launch nuclear warheads from an unpredictable location. It would take months for them to get into position, even if the attacker had that many subs and it would reveal sub locations at the start of the conflict.

Hitting a ship with a missile is hard because they're usually out of land based radar range but if they all had their transponders on, it would be so much easier, especially since medium and long range missiles are getting increasingly more advanced. I wouldn't be surprised if state of the art recon satellites could pick up a cluster of transponders in a carrier battle group and use that data for targeting. If all an enemy did was take out our aircraft carriers, it would cripple our force projection outside of stationary military bases (which would all be hit in a first strike) and turn the navy into glorified mobile silos. The element of surprise is often the only deciding factor in skirmishes and battles between equal forces so it is paramount that giant, slow, and vulnerable fortresses don't broadcast their position.

You don't see any difference between banning cars and simply putting the parking spaces in a garage instead of on the street? The difference seems pretty stark to me — one implies that people cannot drive there and the other implies that people will drive there.
