As stated in the first paragraph, the article is for the beginners. From my observation, they focus too much on adding next courses from Udemy, or making a clone of app X, instead of trying to build something more significant that they will want to use. I recruited dozens of novice developers and after seeing the same cv, with the same examples, I know that they have little or no chance to stand out.

The problem is that a lot of these issues would require co-operation and agreement from multiple different teams to have a solution that would cover the whole system. But in the Linux world nobody really has the authority to make things work and play nice nice and to manage and design the whole system architecture. Distros do what they can of course, but they don't want to deviate too much with custom patching from upstream. So their work doesn't solve all of these problems.

That's nonsense. A large part of maths is having the right feel for it, numbers are--paradoxically--qualitative.

What's great about the actor model is that you can kinda apply it in languages not having such native support. Even if it will not be a strict model, with some education from the programmer it can do wonders and can be backed by lock free queues. What I see as a problem is always they for a thread to wait on new items a syscall must be executed which is costly. But one could use a spinlock a few cycles and later degradate to syscall.

Technically true, but also useless point of view, because it's essentially saying "it's all arbitrary chaos underneath". But it isn't. You can get 90% there with basic understanding of x86 assembly and some CPU-level abstractions.

Most obviously Modula-2 is is case-sensitive, while (Turbo)Pascal is not. Also Modula-2 addresses the danging-else problem in Pascal, while TurboPascal does not.

It wouldn't surprise me if TurboPascal addressed some of the same deficiencies in Pascal that Wirth also addressed in Modula-2, but they probably do so differently.

And yet for any but toy-level (and logic/relational math research) programming, you have to pay attention to how it works under the hood.

I remember university classes in Prolog. Solving logical puzzles tended to be declarative, but trying to write any actual program involved shifting to the mindset that you're dealing with a regular programming language with a built-in DFS engine underneath (the same way programming in JS involves learning you have a hidden event loop running in the background). For practical use of SQL, you need to be able to choose between equivalent queries based on how the database engine actually turns them into lookups.

I don't think that the sheer fact of some people being incredibly wealthy does much harm and it also can do some good. When the money lands in the hands of rich people it essentially leaves the economy same way as if it was just burned because they won't be giving that money back to real world economy anytime soon. It just lowers inflation a bit so everything becomes a bit cheaper than it otherwise would be.

Rich people being rich is fine. Them buying luxuries for their money or gambling (casinos, stock market, startups) does very little harm and even some good because some of their money comes back to other people and few of them do something good with it.

The problem starts only when their money touches the parts of economy that are shared by other people because they drive the prices up by buying large amount of stuff and hoarding. Things like property or food or raw materials or land. We just need to make those activities unprofitable for them.

> This might really catch-up. From what I've read (could be obviously wrong, as many reports we get from the "wild" east) that for people in China it is important to be able to show their position in the society - that's one of the reason of housing bubble; having a flat/home is a marker of being someone with rather high position.

The deemed "big problem" these days in China is that millennials are "not buying more than 1 house."

And even bigger "tragedy" is said to be that richer millenials prefer to rent fancy apartments over buying...

That used to be a very, very, big thing in the past, but then the phenomenon reversed almost overnight. I'd say that happened in 2017-2018.

That "status marketing" is actually being counted as something very cheap these days. People begin to ridicule ones who buy huge chauffeured cars with small engines, and so on. That's something more for more inept middle aged people - the demographic niche that has been squeezed dry by everybody over the course of last 10 years.

Wayland was supposed to be the rescue from the arcane outdated X11 and it is severely disappointing. The reason is that it does not offer enough features. It should have font rendering, it should have window decorations by default it should have native UI widgets and much more. None of it is offered and the responsibility is pushed away to others like Gnome, KDE and believe it or not, X11.

IMHO the monolithic kitchen sink approach of systemd should be applied to wayland. Not the other way around.

DNSCurve doesn't authenticate the records themselves. A malicious DNS Server can provide simply wrong responses and you cannot notice. There is no way to tell if a provider gave you a bad response.

With DNSSEC the DNS Server also has to advertise different keys, which is something you can notice in your resolver and alert too, for example if you already know the key is different via a side channel or you communicate with another resolver and they got a different key.

DNSSEC makes such manipulation obvious and also prevents in-transit tampering. Coupled with DoH/T you get all the benefits of both.

Does consciousness produce any measurable effect? For a time I thought consciousness is some kind of by-product of some kinds of computation which doesn't influence the computation itself. But how can I then know that I am conscious? And if I know that I am conscious, then consciousness must have a measurable effect, right? Because the knowledge that you are conscious should be reflected somewhere in your brain.

However, whenever I think about consciousness, I have the feeling that I am missing something obvious but important. It's just so confusing.

What about it annoys you? Do you often define a lot of variables whose names

Exactly, I just don't see what the problem is. I am not just experiencing this input. I am aware of the fact that I am experiencing this input. Or even I am aware of the fact that I am aware of myself experiencing this stimulus.

Also even a simple stimulus can have all sorts of context dependent meanings and associations. Is see red. That's the colour of blood, also the colour of one of my wife's dresses, and our car. There are thousands of cross-connections between that simple input and every level of my memory and emotional life all firing off in the rich chemical soup of my brain.

Most questions of this sort remind me of "Can submarines swim?"

If we build an AI that can interact via natural human language, and ask it about its internal state, and it replies "I am happy.", is it happy?

And whatever criteria we use to decide that machines cannot really be happy the way we can be, could a hypothetical species that thinks at a "higher level" than us, use similar criteria to determine that humans can't really think?

For consoles, it's natural - they don't have any self-hosted development tools and the machine you write your code with is largely irrelevant. Early adopters also benefit from the maturity of the tools in other platforms for the time before native tools are developed.

> you will bottleneck at ~300Mbit\s.

Any idea where the bottleneck was there? CPU use? Protocol latency? I'd be interested to see some test results around that if you know of any that have been published.

A little anecdotal information: some years ago I did a CPU-load test with OpenVPN on a diminutive Atom-based netbook as the client, and it maxed out at around 95mbit/s on a 100mbit/s network (actually a gbit network, but the netbook only had a 100mbit NIC itself) while just doing simple bulk transfers.
I never understood why people are often enough so unlogical. But i heard a very nice theory which makes a lot of sense:

I was not very good in understanding the world around me, so i analyzed it and thought about a lot of stuff. Like debugging a computer program. My mental model is based on logic and on logic reasoning (of course not all actions, after all i'm a human being).

Religion is a easy target/example: It doesn't make sense as at the end of it, there is only faith. What i also didn't understood where contradicting beliefs: If i believe in religion i should submit to it. Like if you are not allowed to drink alcohol, you don't do it and if you don't wanna do it, you leave the religion. (there are probably more / better examples but religios people often contradict themselves much more often).

Anyway my worldview is based on that, therefore i also act on it. I don't believe so i left church.

But most of us don't build there worldview on logic but on what they see and experience. Those unlogical worldviews are not rational, not comparable and from person to person different. There is no issue for person a to throw that shit on the floor.

This helped me to understand those people better.

Now on how to interact with them: There are traingings in my exising and previous companies which go in directions of: Leadership, Sales, Teamwork, Conflict management etc. Those and similiar books and 'tips/tricks' for how to get people to accept your viewpoint or make them help you, are tools for me to try a non direct logical approach to those issues when you have a good argument or objective points and they just hit that wall.

Start not with the main point of the argument but nitpick small things which are easy to agree. Climate change: Do you see any issue in planting trees? Do you think in general, independend of climate change that it is not a waste to plant trees.

Or find different angles: When you drive a car, you do recognise that you do produce gases, right? What happens when you sit in your car and only breeth the exhaust fumes? You probably die right? So in general reducing those gases should be a good thing for our health right?

Or if you have an idea and some has only the negative viewpoint: Its a good idea but it will not work because of x. Okay that might be but if we start with y and the risk/cost is very low, do you have anything against it?

Or trying to get the other person on board: Hi, i'm super sry but i have this problem xy and perhaps you have an idea which can help me? Instead of "Hi, i need this".

Not sure how well i transported those ideas and concepts.

This gets much more difficult on bigger scale. But you see the Zeitgeist changing in our society. Frustrating slowly but i hope and believe that everyone who promotes it, lifes it and demands it, has an impact on it.

We will see.

As you mention, the linux limit is in bytes, so the issue could appear in some character sets, but it still looks like the path limits are a lot more drastic under windows.
