> Which could very well do it's stuff in a different thread and execution context given the actual payload such a system needs to transfer from a wordprocessor is trivially small.

It's a blocking operation, so doing it in a different thread will not magically mean the requesting application can get it faster. Besides, this is already done in a different thread, but it increases the load of updating the UI.

> Which can be considered a one more defect of the system which I forgot to lambast. Sandbox my wordprocessor, let me operate in realtime in unsafe environment and once I'm moving something out of the sandbox, then do the analysis.

Which is already what is happening, but all data in and out needs to monitored. But regardless, it cannot operate in an unsafe unrestricted environment, because that implies full access to the memory.

> This argument is moot. Pretty UI:s are computationally a tenth or hundredth of the complexity of an AAA title. Unless one does it wrong. And if the system does not provide enough horsepower, provide a backup! Reduce the computational load! Cut the transparencies, freeze the animations, etc.

As I started to say, you have some merit to the argument, but I simply pointed out that modern UIs require multiple orders of magnitude more computational power to render. And providing a fallback is yet another cost of developing, and for the most part not something people/companies will pay for.

> Single PG node can handle easily

I think that's exactly what people are asking for. A single PG node (or even a shared node) managed and monitored by competent people for a "hobbyist" price. You start your project on that, and when you outgrow it, click a button to upgrade to the real Citus Cloud.

Now it's entirely possible that the customer support and separate infrastructure maintenance doesn't make sense for Citus at hobbyist price points - but it would be a way for them to capture potential customers before they standardise on RDS, Redshift and other database scaling options.

Yes. The jump from $0 to $0.05 is greater than from $0.05 to $1.
I remember my experiences in high school metal shop. The teacher impressed on us the dangers of leaving the key in the metal lathe chuck when turning it on. One day, naturally, a kid left the key in the chuck and turned it on. There was a loud bang as the chuck flew up and through the ceiling. It could clearly have killed someone if they were in its path.

I don't want to be around people who use powerful machines without proper training, or around kids using those machines, or using those machines around kids who treat the shop as a playground.

Yes, because it is incredibly hard to bring reusable rockets from concept to full execution.

The idea has been arouns for a long time and there have ben dozens of attempts of course, just as flying cars, autonomous cars, real A.I, space elevators.

Concept an execution are vastly different animals, it is at least 1000 times more difficult to achieve resuable rockets than to have the idea and at least 100 times more difficult than to try it.

Just as a frame of reference, the original iPad sold less units in its first year than the PlayStation VR.

Virtual reality is still in its infancy, and honestly AR is a technology that's going to have to build on top of a lot of VR's technical underpinnings.

Hardware growth takes a lot longer and more iterations than software. VR is going to be huge eventually, and AR is then going to dwarf VR... eventually.

There's a lot of work in wireless signal standards, battery life, displays, and pure computational power that needs to happen before these technologies can deliver on the promise though.

We're slightly past the Newton stage, and somewhere behind the Windows Mobile 3.1 era with these technologies. It's going to still be a while before we see the "iPhone" for VR/AR, and even then, it'll be a few years before we see mass adoption.

But in my opinion, the end result is an inevitably.

I'd like to see this kind of battery tech on a lowest-end, lowest-cost mass production car with a 2-3k mile range on a single overnight charge. For my usage in the city, this would mean I'd charge every other week.

You can see the list in the link above, but the short answer is very few, such as domestic support (alimony, child support) and administrative expenses of the bankruptcy.

> So in many ways, it accomplished exactly what to set out to do.

I think it definitely accomplished its goals technically, but it certainly failed on adoption. I personally never got into it. I tried it quite early and didn't like it. It was clunky and confusing and didn't seem very useful to me at the time. I wonder if it were re-created with slicker UX (and good performance), would I like it...

Exactly. I've working in a few places that when product slips management panic and throw more bodies at it. Then the team swells with sales people, admin assistants, shop floor dudes... and none of them have a clue what is going on or what to do to help. All while management is shouting and the project is slipping more.

Better to let the team crack on and fix all the issues. Pay them well.
Perhaps a parallel would be how Apple is fairing after the passing of Steve Jobs.
I don't think you're right about this. If the 60-0 time and the 0-60 time are the same for the Chiron then it's limited by traction (assuming brakes that are strong enough to break traction at 60).

Most high performance cars only shift once before 60, and with modern dual clutch transmissions it only costs a fraction of a second.

The only way Tesla are going to get below 2 seconds is either with non-street legal tyres (cheating!) or some new tyres that nobody else has.

A few places have reported this, but it's slightly misleading as what they've actually said is they'll stop making "gas only" cars by that date. So, a mix of hybrid or all electric.

I don't know if this has a name, but... ICQ-like "searchable" instant messaging.

Let me explain myself. In the late 90s, there was an IM client called ICQ. For starters, its UI was leaps and bounds ahead of anything to be seen in the next decade, and it had functionality like bots or groups, that has again become widespread a few years ago.

But what I'm talking about is the fact that I could look for "female, age between 16 and 20, who likes writing, RPGs and electronic music and is available for chat" and results would come up. You could enter your data, interests, hobbies, etc. in the program and mark yourself as available (only if you wanted) and it was a really nice way to meet people. I collected stamps at the time so I remember I would search for people who were stamp collectors in countries for which I had no stamp, leading to stamp exchanges apart from some interesting conversation (as you could also throw some of your interests in in the search window).

I thought that was the future and the tech could only get better from there, but then came MSN Messenger, with really bare-bones features in general and in particular no "searchable" functionality, and displaced ICQ. And since then, nothing similar has appeared. Instant messengers are focused on talking to people you already know, and if you want to meet new people, you have to use specific-purpose communities or dating sites. But good luck finding someone who likes writing, RPGs and electronic music at the same time... That function of searching people by interests in a huge directory of people (not restricted, e.g., to a dating site) is what I thought would take the world by storm, and as far as I know it doesn't even exist anymore at enough scale to be meaningful, at least in the West (maybe in WeChat, QQ or one of those apps used in Asia they have something similar, I don't know).

I like the article, but the following advice confused me, especially since this comes from RedHat i.e. Linux people:

> Having Rust installed (recommended way is https://www.rustup.rs/).

This essentially recommends unconditionally using the "curl | sh" anti-pattern.

Shouldn't they recommend instead e.g. "apt-get install rustc" for Debian users?

Since this doesn't make use of too recent Rust features, using Rust 1.14 of Debian/Stable should be fine, shouldn't it? Same of Fedora, etc.

I once heard somebody talk about analog computers who is old enough to have used them.

The impression I got was that they did work excessively well on a very narrow niche of problems (simulations, mostly). But "programming" them was a huge pain, and for the general purpose arena, they were not useful.

> The price of bitcoin may be bubbly but the tech isn't.

> Payments, cross border transactions, IPFS, security, voting, etc are all things that are being or could be disrupted by the blockchain tech

Oh, certainly cryptographic dilettantes will "disrupt" voting or data storage
with their timestamping service.

No, the blockchain tech is a bubble. It attracts idiots who know nothing about
the cryptography and algorithms and then they invent data storage layers or
voting on totally mismatching thing, so very expensive for very little
benefit, even if it works correctly at all. And the mismatch in cryptographic
applications usually leads to catastrophic results, unlike most of IT fields.

Voting is one spectacular example. There are several cryptographic protocols
for electronic voting, and none has or uses the properties exhibited by
blockchain. Using blockchain for voting is just plain dumb.
In general, any Hackaton happen on this way, long hours concentrated on a challenge.
To get featured the list of fastest cars in magazines etc., to go to car shows, to get people into a show room, to get featured on TopGear/The Grand Tour, for kids to talk about at school and so on. All of which boost Tesla's brand (outside the tech echo-chamber, where it is already strong).
Nim probably makes more sense if you're coming from Python.

Oh, and Python is perfectly fine for most things. If you like it, sticking with it and just speeding up the rare thing that needs that performance makes much more sense than switching language, especially if you already are well into a project.

Similar acceleration figures to a litre sportsbike (though the new Roadster takes it to a faster level again, but still in the same ballpark).

The acceleration is mind-bendingly fast at first, but after a while, you get used to it and it just feels kind of normal. I can't imagine the new Tesla being any different.

Not to play down the achievement at all, those stats are amazing! But highly doubt there's a health risk associated with some mild longitudinal G forces, assuming you're in otherwise good health.
It was, actually, because the McLaren F1 you are referring to was produced until 1998. Also those cars are changing hands for well over 10 million USD nowadays, so I'd hardly call is a 'consumer' car.
Ah, but do the doors go like this ^(o_o)^ or like this \(o_o)/ not like this <(o_o)>
Those prices match up with the new Roadster that was also announced, so they may not be the Semi.

> I know this string is a compile-time constant, so it's not going to hurt anyone, but you're teaching people the old myth that printf(string) is the way to print a string and at some point they'll try this with a user-supplied string.

I am also very security-conscious in my programming, but the rule that I apply is

printf(string);

is the way to use if string is some compile-time constant that visibly contains no '%' character and

printf("%s", string);

is the way to go otherwise. In this sense I consider the rule

Go to Italy; visit the new shrines to Padre Pio, or go to Rome and look and the industry flourishing around John Paul II merchandise, then let’s talk again about monetisation. They have a law where anyone can choose where to assign the 0.1% of their taxes, and every few years it’s tweaked to assign more and more to the Catholic Church by default - the Church already runs massive TV ad campaigns in tax season and is, of course, the major beneficiary of the money. They own massive amounts of real estate, and a lot of their properties are tax-exempt even when they host businesses and activities completely unrelated to the Church (this is source of continuous political debate and tweaking, year after year).

And then, of course, there is all the stuff about their shady bank, who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into compliance with transparency laws (still not there), and all the stuff about their activities in the ‘70s (Roberto Calvi etc etc).

The Church monetises quite a lot in my book. One of the reasons for current internal unrest is precisely the fact that this new pope doesn’t look as interested in the monetisation efforts as his predecessors, and that donations from the US (which had become, it is estimated, the pre-eminent source of cash over the last century) are drying up.
