Am I the only one that was expecting a site similar to the Darwin Awards?
Fair enough! This might be the future we were working towards all along and it's just passed me by.

For what it's worth, I have gigabytes of photos and I rarely go through them. When I do, the joy starts to turn into a slog. I've recently gotten back into film photography, and at the risk of sounding overly sentimental and bullshitty... I find the pictures I take now are more special and intimate.

> Like many with a background in programming languages and their implementations, the idea that safe languages enforce a proper abstraction boundary, not allowing well-typed programs to read arbitrary memory, has been a guarantee upon which our mental models have been built.

As an aside, the notion that it's very risky to rely only on the type system to enforce security boundaries is not new. In 2003, Govindavajhala and Appel [1] showed that you can break the security of the JVM through memory errors. Basically, an untrusted attacker fills memory with a specially formatted data structure such that in case of a random bit flip, with high probability, you get an integer field and a pointer field aliasing each other, allowing you to do pointer arithmetic. By contrast, it's extremely unlikely that a random bit flip allows (say) an unprivileged Unix process to get root access.

> Furthermore, says Hoyt, “The [new suite of driver assistance] systems will help you get up a steep driveway in winter, or across a muddy soccer pitch without getting stuck.” In other words, even if your posh Rover spends more time in valet lines than the rugged wilderness, these technologies may still come to the rescue.

Mostly a marketing feature? I think something similar is available on new Jeeps too.
Not saying this has to exactly replace graphqL, but I'm struggling to understand the advantages and disadvantages over REST and GraphQL, or even how it tackles the problems graphQL is trying to solve.

My understanding looking at the query examples, https://www.graphiti.dev/quickstart#querying

It looks more like an ORM querying over rest than it is graphQL. It doesn't appear to solve some or the 2 major headaches graphQL is great at solving:
* clients choosing how much data they need. On a desktop on broadband client, I want details of a list of entities, while on a mobile app with limited screen space and less bandwidth, I just need the skinny details like title and summary.
* pooling requests to multiple domains into a single request. For example, if I writing a reservations endpoint, for purchasing flights. I need to call 3 separate microservices, 1 for availability and booking, 1 for ecommerce that's hooked up to an accounting system, and one for trip details from say a CMS system. I don't see how this saves the client the burden of making all these separate requests. In rest, you probably will have 1 endpoint that combines these requests, and separate endpoints for accessing this information individually. GraphQL saves the burden of maintaining separate combination endpoints.

> Unless and until soundproofing gets better -- and I mean a LOT better -- apartments will never be practical for a nontrivial percentage of the population, as much as we might otherwise prefer them.

Most likely never going to happen, at least not in the US where apartment buildings are basically wooden matchboxes. I grew up in the well-known gray communist concrete blocks in Eastern Europe and I never heard my upstairs neighbors peeing until I moved to the USA.
I used to be vehemently opposed to anti-inheritance laws but I've recently softened up a bit. Because the data shows that most wealthy people are first-generation rich anyway. (See: The Millionaire Next Door and also The Millionaire Mind for the data)

Someone who is really wealthy would've bestowed their children with immensely valuable lessons and experiences while they were growing up. And most of those children would already be on a path to their own success well before their wealthy parents die. After all, you'd expect most of them to become successful in their 30s and 40s while their parents are still alive. At which point any inheritance is simply a cherry on top, even if it's just 5% of the estate with the rest going back into charitable causes / society.

I understand the argument about how the wealthy who earned their wealth have the right to do what they want with it, but we already know that a lot of wealthy people end up adopting this mentality around giving away most of their wealth anyway. Like Gates, Buffett, etc. It seems like once you get into the real echelons of wealth you have a better understanding of why large public works projects are more noble than simply giving the entire estate to your offspring who are likely already going to be well-off by the time you keel over and die.

I don't think it's just old southerners.

I know quite of young people for whom Google basically is the internet. They never enter addresses in the address bar, and always do a Google search for the site they're trying to get to.

These aren't dullards, either. They're smart people who are talented in their own fields. They're just not techies and the Googling-for-everything workflow works well for them.
Yes, that's the argument. The challenge was to reconcile that with e.g. the practice of leaving a fingerprint on the tail light when a search would have been illegal.

Edit: toned down.
Jessica Bruder's Nomadland: Surviving America In The Twenty-First Century is a very good look into the RV'ers and their lives[0, 1]. Though at first, many people profess to love the freedom of the RV life, upon further inspection, most are very unhappy with it. Financial crises typically nucleate the move into the RV and that lifestyle. Per a recent NPR interview:

"And then maybe four days later, a week later, if I'm still hanging around as a reporter, that's when I hear about the foreclosure or the 401(k) that got wiped out, those other details. So people are eager to tell you that they chose this, but their options have narrowed quite a bit in recent years. So, you know, on the one hand, there is the I'm out there and I'm having an adventure. And on the other hand, this is sometimes the result of few options."

In the end, people are involved in complicated choices in their complicated lives. Still, it seems that most people would rather not be RV-ing their way through life, but make the best of it and put on a smile despite their situations.

A similar effect may be occurring with the OP.

Then I guess you're not looking hard enough. Recently swift integration with tensorflow also introduced easy way to import python. There into swift.
Data science engineers need performant language to do lot of stuff, and rust fits the ball. But it's hard to abandon python ecosystem.

I and others hate the pattern in python to write anything performant in C, Cython or some other language and write bindings for python. The python as binding language paradigmn doesn't work when all the stuff you want don't exist in performant languages.

TLDR; this fits the perfect use case for machine learning/data science, to use python only when necessary and hopefully migrate projects (parts of them atleast) to rust.
> Is parking time a per day thing instead of per instance - e.g.

In many cities, it's a certain time limit in a certain geographic zone within a particular time window (e.g., 1 hour in a 2 hour window in a set of adhat blocks) that either hits a hard limit or (where tiered pricing is used) a higher price/time tier.
If only there were some way for rich people to give away their money while they were still alive!

To be a little less snarky, this kind of simple prescription gets very, very complicated in practice. You really want to make it so that a lower-middle-class family whose primary breadwinner dies has to lose 100% of their assets? No? Okay, now we have exceptions to the 100% estate tax. What about spouses who outlive their partner? If I die, should my wife get kicked out of the house that we own jointly? If not, what happens when Joe Billionaire marries someone who he never gives any indication of regarding as a spouse right after his terminal cancer diagnosis, and she marries his son right after Joe's death? What if she marries Joe, immediately divorces him, his divorce settlement gives her the overwhelming majority of his assets, and the she marries his son and they immediately divorce and the settlement gives him the overwhelming majority of their assets?

What if Joe Billionaire starts foundations and those foundations employ his children? What if he starts a for-profit company that he owns 100% of the stock of, the company employs all his children and pays them $100M a year until the company runs out of money? At the end of his life, the government can take all the stock of the now-worthless company.

What if Joe Billionaire locates his assets in a different jurisdiction?

People (mostly) don't go to these extremes right now because they don't stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars if they don't.
It seems that there are "interesting" ways that you could have a lot of wealth, but shield your children from the negative effects. For example, let's say you drove mostly older cars, teaching your kids to maintain and repair them themselves. Or let's say you lived in a huge house, but you don't have a cleaning crew - the family works together to clean the house on Sundays. Everyone fights, no one quits. If you made it your goal, you should be able to decouple "instill a serious work ethic" from "we own assets worth millions or billions"
I use both. However, I'm mainly interacting as a 'regular user', but as such a user, both are pleasant to interact with, and don't try to be too clever or overly complex, and thus I don't encounter the same sorts of issues with them that I do with other init/daemon-managers.
Ok yeah makes sense.

What about a pure functional language, in which a program computes a result that is a function of the input only.

In this case the only timing information usable for side-channel info leakage would be in the input to the program.

I guess the problems in this case become twofold:

* How can we determine we are not leaking any such info in the input to the program?

and

* Is a pure, functional language sufficient to do the stuff we want, or are they too limited, e.g. for use as a browser scripting language.

My fear is that OP is an alcoholic (yes, you can be an alcoholic without drinking - it's that you're genetically predisposed to having a drinking problem). In this case abstinence is the only answer. If you have problems to which you cannot give up even a weekend then that's a red flag.

1) tragic photo? It’s a promotional photo complete with positive quote from the person how great the life style is.

2) the entire article highlights how this is a lifestyle choice...and you cherry-picked the sole comparative quote acknowledging not all homeless are affluent and homeless by choice.

>"We're selling joy," he says. "We're selling inspiration when you get out on a trail or go for a bike ride. We're selling the adrenaline buzz at the end of a run, and we're just trying to enable that in any way we possibly can."

3). Right...”you can’t do it forever” we shouldn’t be speaking about homelessness in these terms. Nothing is going to change to make these homeless people not broke and magically be able to go out and buy a home.

You're either being overly pedantic or wrong. Why is a traffic stop limited to 20 minutes if the duration never matters? Why are DUI checkpoints?

My grandfather was an alcoholic. It came about because of the great sorrow he felt after his own father died in a car accident. A small drink each day became a larger one. This iterates. Time passes. I remember when he was in rehab once, as a child I was brought to visit him. His genuineness was so magnified. He was such a good man sober; well known and loved by many in the town through his small business. He never broke free for long though. Never violent but never fully there because his faculties were always suppressed by the effects.

After many years, when his health was failing, he begged us grandchildren not to follow this path. The regret was so palpable. This was later in my college years, and with all the parties it was hard to pull back. Augustine once wrote, "To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation". It is a respectable path especially for anyone too far along. I am no teetotaler either though. Moderation is also admirable.

I set two limits and they have worked fairly well in my own life:

1) No more than two reasonably sized drinks in a day.

2) Never drink alone.

I nurse those drinks along and savor each tiny sip. It has worked well for over ten years and prevented ramping up into anything further. A suggested third rule that has grown on me is:

3) Drink only to amplify joyful occasions never to drown sorrowful ones.

It may not be for everyone however perhaps this will help some. Godspeed.
They promised to develop general purpose chips which can meet as many desktop computing needs as possible, which now implicitly includes need Y (but they didn't anticipate that at the time).

They could of course just reject the necessity of need Y, but if the majority of their clients actually do have need Y, can it really be said that the chip is successful at being general purpose?

I see older discos and a few defenders ocasionally. Usually a more yuppie thing, but they are out there. I can almost hear them bragging about their offset differentials over their moaning about parts breaking. They tend to pick trails that are challenging to stock suvs, but seldom venture where modded jeeps and toyotas go. They seem quite competent on mild to moderate trails.
But as I noted in another comment, hard trail use might not be practical, but this feature would make a noob trail diver twice as effective just by placing the wheels where you want them during the 2 times a rover is actually offroad.

That's not a purpose aside from revenue, that's a mechanism for increasing sales, property, and/or income tax revenue, depending on the particular tax regime in the locality.
Almost all hardware is NDA. Even the Raspberry Pi has a lot of it's mobile-oriented chips like the VC GPU under a lot of NDA restrictions and binary blobs.

I've developed a bad habit over the years: just reading the comments. Articles are always so structured and long winded, it often feels like you get the entire gist of the link from a headline and the comment discussion. Trying to change that by reading more of the headlines (at least skimming or reading sections), but it costs more time.
The process of acquiring a massive fortune does make some poorer (definitely in the relative sense), even as it makes some better off, that is, it drives inequality. Technology picks up some of the slack by raising the floor standard of living, but only if doing so is also profitable for the financier or seller of the technology, and never anything beyond that.

While that process may be necessary to incentivize innovation, it has societal costs, and it's not unreasonable to consider offsetting those costs by confronting the wealth gap directly.

But I would argue the concentration of extreme wealth in few hands actually hinders innovation, and therefore makes society poorer overall, because a great number of people who might otherwise contribute creatively to major societal problems instead must focus their efforts on daily survival.
The statement you are responding to does not assume the purpose of a visit is retail shopping. It doesn't matter what kind of business it is, it needs to make sufficient revenue, and unless the businesses start charging for lingering, they need to ensure enough customers are able to patronize the business to keep it going.
It makes enough to make me happy. And yes, I have other projects (jobs) that bring in revenue.
Your comment reminded me of a Doug DeMuro article where he did just that!

In much of rural Spain, the Land Rover has been the car of choice for farmers and goat herders, for decades. Not the fancy version you usually see in the US, but the "Santana Cazorla" which was a much more bare bones one produced in Linares, at the heart of olive oil country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santana_Motor

Interestingly, that's higher than the ppO2 at sea level, which is about 3 psi, or at ~5K feet (standard airliner cabin pressure) where it's 2.5psi, so they were still running at almost double the amount of oxygen available normally.
Such incredibly sad news that he has passed away, I met Robert Virding a few years ago (small group of us went out for a meal). I had hardly heard of Erlang before, followed much more since, plus many of their talks. It's fascinating how physicists design a programming language/ system, especially the treading/ distribution model. I think it was WhatsApp the catapulted Erlang to the limelight (outside of telecoms), it's doubtful that they would have scaled so quickly had WhatsApp been written in anything else.

Rest in Peace Joe, and my condolences to his friends and family.
CPU designers have had to deal with in-process isolation for a very long time. The earliest citation I can find is Berkeley Packet Filter in 1987 [1], before the 486 and just two years after the 386 memory protection debuted. If you were to go back in time and ask Intel's chip designers whether they intended to support BPF well, I'm sure they would say yes. Software fault isolation in 1993 (seminal paper at [2]) built on those techniques.

Spectre is simply a subtle oversight in the way different pieces of the system interact.

You are arguing for Python and speed in the same breath? If you want portable speed, you better "warm up a chair" and master Fortran.

Bonus: modern Fortran is a joy to develop in, far more fun than Python. And you get to compile to machine code, either for a processor or a GPU.
