I hope AMD has something on their video chip line-up against nVidia as well. I'm curious if they knew nVidia was working on ray-tracing and plan to implement the same API or if they have some other tech they have up their sleeve they've been working on vendors with. I hate how nVidia has such a monopoly on the video chip market. Who knows, maybe Intel will finally get back into the gamer 3D market and we might finally have three options again.
He is clueless about what makes a good programming language. The entire article seems to be making up straw men and then knock them down.

just curious - why would web assembly make it easier for those tools to reappear?

I used to use hose 90s GUI tools - VB's, VC's, Symantec's and Borland's java gui tools. Although they did work well for fixed UIs (absolute positioning) -- they were rather hard to get non-fixed uis working.
IMHO Bootstrap's grid system was a real leap in this regard and (to me) still a pleasure to work with.
Google (still) doesn't really compete with Microsoft - they're in related but different verticals, Google and Microsoft have different core businesses - while yes, they compete on the periphery, they're not in head to head competition, Microsofts successful business model soldiers on - no disruption really seen.

Facebook and Google don't really compete either - again, related, but different verticals, Googles existing business model wasnt really disrupted by Facebook appearing on the scene.

The majority of mobile processors prior to arm, wasn't Intel (it was 68k actually), again, no real disruption to the Intel Business Model.

In almost every case you've presented, you act as if a major player was displaced from a market within which they were the incumbent leader - but in every case but yahoo - it was a new line of business opening up, due to changes in the market place - where a major player in a related marketplace failed to achieve dominance - in the case of Intel, it was quite by choice - Intel saw early on that it couldn't make the margins needed to sustain itself in the mobile processor world - and while there keeps being talk about ARM coming to the non-mobile marketplace, there has been little to no actual incursion there.

The exception here is yahoo - Yahoo was pushed out of its core markets by the rise of google, where they competed head to head.
> Also, to be clear, the re-entry burns are definitely necessary to avoid damage to the Falcon 9 first stage.

With the current design and mission profile yes they need to reduce speed via thrust. But, a large chunk of this is Falcon 9's aerodynamic profile. Even if heat's not an issue long cylinders are not stable but you could build a rocket with a different profile. Remember, it's just fine without a heat shield (other than the upper stage / engine area) when being used as a rocket and peak velocity is at separation.

So, I agree with this design that burn is necessary, my point is in terms of design space it's one of many options.

Further, to be clear it's not a meaningful option when you start talking about orbital velocity. The shuttle kind of gave heat shields a bad rap, but they can be really light and simple. The shuttle's problem was trying to build a reusable heat shield at the limit of what was possible vs a huge range of much simpler designs.

Does 1.25x performance at the same power refer to clock speed? Does that mean that we can expect 5 Ghz in Ryzen 3000?
Official sales had the C64 outselling the Spectrum 3 to 1 'worldwide' but that ignores licened clones like the Timex and, basically, the entire Eastern European computer scene based on cloned ZX Spectrums.
> If it is bad policy, then can someone help explain why unaffordable housing is currently a world-wide issue?

1) Because the incentives for enacting the bad policies are widespread, so the bad policies are widespread, so the problem is widespread.

2) It isn't. See cities like Houston and Tokyo which have lower housing costs than San Francisco or NYC.
Then it needs to be replaced.
Social networks are certainly important and I don't mean to dismiss anything. Instead I'm suggesting that there may be more than one way to deal with a problem, but this is rarely discussed. What can be done to help people make connections after a move?
I worked with those devices. Things like icmp responses and ttl expired packet make it to the control plane cpu iirc. I was thinking more of a worm that would gain access to everything via internet exchanges ,propagatig through bgp sessions and such. Also, didn't know those backdoors in zte/huawei were a thing. But they do tend to have hardcoded creds "for support".
Wasn't Stockfish crippled in that set of games? Such as no opening book, which would give a computer like AlphaZero an initial advantage? And a relatively weak CPU setup, compared to the massive computer AlphaZero used?
If we're on the topic of how to cook rather than just what to cook: I just got A New Way to Dinner (a cookbook from Food52) earlier this summer and have been using it religiously pretty much every week since. It's a strategy guide on how to prep all your food on the weekend and have diverse meals throughout the week. You basically do 1-3 hours of cooking on the weekend to make the components for your dishes, and then a bit of assembly work during the week to combine different components and build your meals (i.e. A roast chicken on Monday can turn into a chicken salad with fennel on Wednesday and a chicken salad sandwich for lunch anytime during the week)

If I don't plan and cook my meals like this, then I end up either spending an hour plus to make a new dinner every weeknight, or getting lazy and frying up some eggs, or making a huge batch of whatever and reheating the same thing again and again. It's been such a timesaver during the week, I really wish more recipes & cookbooks were formatted like this.

That doesn't give you RAID protection, sadly, with mdadm and LVM you can add a single disk into an existing array, ZFS requires you to pull up a new RAID array (vdev) and at minimum 2 devices if you want something better than a RAID 0.
We use Elm to address most of the same issues.
It's been able to do online enlarge and extend forever, and it will even automatically enlarge if you replace disks in a vdev one at a time allowing for resilvering.

Perhaps you're thinking of shrinking, which it still cannot do without rebuilding the whole FS infrastructure.
This site is really well made! Nice job!
Somewhat related, the huge explosion in China (Tianjin) as captured on video. Not sure how loud that explosion was, but it looked apocalyptic. In some of the angles you can see the shock wave.

Ha! My interaction with AWK throughout the years has been a fuzz test in progress. Very interesting link though.

On the other hand, I think what you're saying about expanding a well known tool's range of use in new environments makes sense.
Wait, what? Could you elaborate on this?
I hate the Cuda monopoly in machine learning right now. I hope some of the mature libraries (TF, Pytorch) start officially supporting AMD GPUs.

I have a hard time comprehending this article. The three people in charge of Saudia Arabia, Russia and US produce more oil than OPEC the author says. But then SA is in OPEC, and the three don't produce a significant amount more than OPEC combined. What is the entire gist of writing this article other than there's an unproven conspiracy.
Doubt they will go away from per core pricing. Most SQL servers are VMs so you can assign as many cores as you want. I do expect them to give bulk pricing for more cores. So 4 core=$x, 16cores=$3x, 64cores=$10x.
I agree to make the knowledge to free. They should be public domain, not copyright and patent. (Public domain is what I do, at least. The law ought to abolish copyright and patents (to make them all public domain), in my opinion.)

However, I fail to find the mention in that Wikipedia article (am I not looking enough?)

Theorotically, in a world without consequences the USA can take out multiple powers very easily.

Practically (and without usage of nuclear weopons), the USA can barely handle attrition. Also the USA have not fought a conventional war with another competent regional power since World War 2 and that too was with many allies.
What's scary is comparing the old versions of the Edmonds Cook Book with the more recent versions and seeing how much more sugar we're putting in a lot of the stuff we're making.
It really is disappointing how modern web GUI environments are harder to use than what was around 20+ years ago.

Yes. We had drag and drop UIs decades ago. Now you can't even get a decent GUI program for laying out a web page. CSS/Javascript got so messy that even Dreamweaver became useless.

Part of the problem is that ad code requires a messy environment, so that ad blockers and click generators have a hard time. Google, by policy, does not permit you to put their ads in a iframe, where they belong. You can't even put Google Hostile Code Loader ("tag manager") in an iframe sandbox.
I suspect the main problem I tackle at work, robotic grasp planning, could make use of all those threads despite the bandwidth constraint. Now if only someone would put an Epyc in an industrial PC...
How do they release it back? A process that takes a few hours (burning) or a process that takes years? How did the hydrocarbons get in the ground in the first place?

You can't be serious with "something that would not decompose". Entropy literally disfavors it. The point is to tamper the rate, not to completely turn all C into diamond and jettison it into the sun.
As personal experiences go, btrfs works great for me.

I've been using it on a 6 drive NAS since 2012, and on two laptops with SSDs.

In my experience "crashes" are symptoms of people who didn't read the documentation and don't understand how to recover.

For example, on the laptops I've often run out of disk space. And btrfs can run into a situation where it can't clean up partly used blocks without more disk space. To recover you have to add more space. I usually used the swap partition, but a USB stick also works. Or a RAM drive, but that's risky.

Some other issues I've had to help people with is snapshot deletion. Deleting a btrfs snapshot appears instant but none of the used space comes back. That's because it is doing it in the background and it can take a really long time. OTOH, ext4 does exactly the same thing with background delete of very large files.
I still create my UI’s with a sketchbook and pen / pencil. For me there’s nothing that matches it yet. Even though there are a bunch of digital product design tools nowadays, I still tend to begin with my sketchbook.

It’s fast and expressive, and always there and always on, just a single tool / interface (pen to paper), which is a huge advantage when just trying to get concepts down visually. The clincher in this decade though, is the necessity to think responsively while sketching, understanding that there are all sorts of device sizes now. Then either mock it up in a design tool later or straight code it up once I have the general concepts down. I’ve tried all sorts of things (was really disappointed when SubForm shut down, that one was kind of interesting). From concept to product, starting off with paper and pen is still the quickest route for me.
I'm not sure what you mean by "went anywhere". It's perfectly functional as it stands.

The main missing piece is proper support in the installer for using it as a root filesystem. Currently this requires manual setup, which is tedious, but even this is functional once done.
I second that! Very cool fact.
Wouldn't conversion between the steps lead to round off?
Really? Can you remember where you've seen this non-recommendation?
You can justify property rights and all sorts of business regulations with concepts of fairness and justice.
And with Codable times of manually mapping JSON to objects are over, at least you have to deal with something sane.
It doesn't look that way to me, in fact they all look quite vulnerable in various ways, some common and some unique. Netflix and Facebook will be the first to stumble I suspect. I can't predict the future and I'm not an active investor but for my part my retirement savings are not going to be heavily weighted in FAANG stock. I guess we'll see how the landscape looks in a decade.
Well, I think 8086s were going for more than that, but Z80s or 6502s would probably fit the bill on MIPS if not IO.
Depends on your perspective,they acted on behalf islamic states,although not directly supported. Their backing isn't as important as their intent. For example,North Korea supports APT groups that operate with loose connections to Pyongyang,it's rumored one of these groups(Lazarus?) Was behind the Sony hacks which were effectively a much smaller act of cyber terrorism. They attacked to terrorize Sony into changing its repease of a movie mocking their leader.
OPEC is game theory in action.
Anyone know why we aren't seeing Intel/AMD go the 'ultra-wide' route that we've seen in ARM processors? (Apple's in particular)

e.g. we've seen Apple's A12 processor expand ALU's from 4->6 and what seems like a strong focus on cache latency and these changes seem to be rather beneficial in real code. Why aren't we seeing the same from Intel / AMD? As someone whom isn't particularly well informed on the topic my guess is that AMD/Intel are scared of selling a wider-core but lower clocked CPU given how much marketing is attached to clock speed, but I imagine there are architectural issues as well.

Most Detailed Observations of Material Orbiting Close to a Black Hole
I think the thing that makes this ebook stand out, is that it's native web content. Most "ebooks" on the web resemble the infamous photograph-of-a-printout web design strategy:

https://thedailywtf.com/articles/Web_0_0x2e_1

Your average ebook is textbook or published book content put in the media equivalent of an iframe. Butterick's websites are not that. I have a friend who's a huge fan of Butterick and did a similar thing with his take on Eliezer Yudkowsky.

I'd very much like to see more websites in this style and fewer "iframes".
Is good having many different program language for different purpose, as well as for different prefence because you might have different opinion to me. You do not have to use all of them!
ZoL and Btrfs are the only two filesystems that I've ever had rendered unmountable without any reported disk error. In both cases, ECC ram was in use, and mirrors were used.

Btrfs was a known bug, and the kind folks on #btrfs were able to help me recover (though it was a quite involved process).

For ZFS, the consensus in #zfs and #zfsonlinux was that with the error message I was getting "I hope you have backups."[1]

I see XFS mentioned here, but in the admittedly unusaly use-case of editing a file that when compiled and modprobed may hang the kernel, I found that vim was insufficiently fsync-ing to ensure I had valid data (either old or new copy would have been acceptible).

I don't know what my point was with this comment except "All filesystems are buggy, so backup your data"

1: It should be noted that in the case of ZFS, I was on vacation and it was my laptop that had no critical data, but I absolutely needed it working for other things, so I only spent a couple hours trying to recover; The btrfs issue happened at home where I had plenty other systems to use and where I was more motivated to recover the data.
The article details the product is a protection against now mandatory logging on OSI-levels 4+.

You are arguing on lower levels the introduced solution does not aim at.

I overall share the sentiment "to be safe, just do not emit signals" but still think the SIM is a good start as it heightens the requirements for tracking on layers 4+.
There are some efforts to improve the situation:

I am not a UI designer but I much prefer rule based approaches than drawing.

CSS isn't even rule based. If it was a constraint system, like "A must be to the left of B", and "C and D must have the same height", extended with "A and B must be at least this big, and drop C if it won't fit", it would be rule based.
I've been super happy with ZFS for over a decade. All the pain I've had with it has been related to deduplication requiring massive amounts of RAM. When you don't have the RAM, it tends to be flaky. But I've never run into data loss with it, despite my best attempts.

My current backup server would need ~50GB of RAM just for the in-RAM deduplication tables.

I've been thinking of trying btrfs for the backup server, but the deduplication story is not something that's obvious, it all seems to be third-party, which makes me skeptical. But it worth trying. I might just try a test Dragonfly setup, because my simple testing of HAMMER seemed very promising, years ago.

I've had pretty bad experiences with btrfs in the distant past. Around a decade ago I had all my company laptops using btrfs and it worked great, as long as we didn't get >80% usage or something. It worked well for around a year. But then the reliability of btrfs dropped, and we had repeated data loss and switched back to ext.
Most of them don't have the education to know the definition of a false equivalence.

They're called draws. The match will be tied if it's 6-6 after 12 games, then they'll go to tiebreaks - 4 rapid games, then if still no winner, up to 5 mini-matches of 2 blitz games, then ultimately an Armageddon game if needed.

I don't see how this shows in any way the advantages of dynamic typing. The same code in a statically typed languages would hardly be more verbose. But it would be much easier to maintain, evolve, refactor, and understand.

If we apply ideas from game theory, you will find out that cartels are naturally unstable. I don't think you would be able to replace OPEC with another cartel even if you wanted to . (No one outside the newly formed cartel would welcome a new cartel.)

I like the idea. The other day I thought of whether it would be possible to create drug company around this premise: select a drug for a chronic illness, when that drug’s patent expires, structure a company around producing that drug for a low enough price point that you can at least break even running a company that employees people and manufactures that drug. Now if prices low enough so that it undercuts competitors and is not a financial burden to patients, you have a monopoly with a real market and one that gets increased based upon the frequency of expression (if genetically based). If you can price the drug just enough to then fund a research and development department, then maybe you have an interesting business. I thought then, could you “donate” the company to the public, almost making it a public utility.
I think the author is saying: "OPEC can no longer set high oil prices, because US, Russia and SA produce more oil than OPEC combined." But on the other hand the year 2008 has shown that it is not the US president who is setting the oil price, but the oil company executives [1].
