Thanks for the insights into your setup. If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about interacting with traditional desktop and web-based interfaces? Is there anything that a web developer like me should know in order to make life easier for you?

>If the Tesla had a proximity sensor that slammed on the breaks in the last 2-3 meters, would he have survived? I ask because it's a common luxury car feature and would be easy for Tesla to implement. IIRC this crash and the semitruck crash had no evidence of the autopilot hitting the breaks according to the NTSB.

>Bottom line: this isn’t a matter of taste.

It is, quite unequivocally, a matter of taste. Please don't pass your personal, unsubstantiated opinions as a matter of fact. :-)
>I understand you perfectly.

I don't think so.

>I just don't agree with a single sentence of it.... The more costly fossil fuel gets, the more attractive Prometheus gets. As it is, they seem to be claiming to be cost effective as is.

Okay. Invest in Prometheus. I think the net result will be an increase in CO2 emissions, because all the activity will fail to deliver any viable atmospheric CO2 capture plants, ever. Let's check on this say 20 years from now. If I'm right, buy me a beer.
This sounds like literate programming of some kind. A bit more advanced than Knuth's original WEB implementation, but certainly matching the idea that your code co-exists with discussion and diagram and so forth.

I used noweb at a previous employer, and it certainly was difficult to argue with the results; beautiful, readable documentation that existed as a first-class product, alongside the code it was describing. The quality of the software we generated was the highest I've ever seen in terms of things like deadlines and budgets and bugs and testing.
Strongly suggest they open a GitLab Learning Hub.
Did you consider emulating mmap yourselves?

"Memory mapped files work by mapping the full file into a virtual address space and then using page faults to determine which chunks to load into physical memory. In essence it allows you to access the file as if you had read the whole thing into memory, without actually doing so."

I feel like this could be done in c++ directly, by maintaining an internal cache for each file that keeps track of which parts of the file are loaded and uses read() to load chunks on demand. Error handling would be a lot simpler (no signals, just a failed read()) and there would be less OS-specific code.
I think we are closer than we think.

The problem is that all voice control up until now is a closed app with simplified intents.

In my opinion what we need is a programming language whose REPL UX is voice-oriented, that eases the separation between using and extending the system. Prolog or a lisp could be quite near but we would require some changes such as: syntax easily read (:- in prolog is not very good), the ability to manage ums and ahhhs, the ability to “play” or “test” with functions through voice, etc.
Yea so in America, transportation departments are either underfunded, overworked and other times delayed due to contracting laws. So instead of some guy coming out to replace the attenuator, they need to by law put out a contract to hire some guy and go through a months long process to approve it. If they don't, some random guy might sue them for not putting it out to bid, etc, etc. It's just never ending stupid.

Where I live, there's a guardrail that is so heavily bent out of shape from constant crashes that it needs some serious replacement because it'll eventually give and allow cars to fly into the opposite lanes. The problem is there was already a contract to replace 10 miles of guardrail issued a year ago and the contractor has not reached this part of the road yet. The DoT can't just go replace it themselves early.
Pareidolia is a thing and so is its modern cousin "over-zoomed pixels that seem to make a shape".

Is a desktop a production environment?
Let's test that. These are the random selection of websites I've looked at in in the past week;

https://github.com/

https://borderlands.com/en-US/

https://firstframe.fr/

https://www.kombudrinks.com/

https://frontendmasters.com/

I don't think they all look the same. They're not even similar.

Whenever someone complains about the homogeneity of the web what they actually mean is the homogeneity of the tiny sliver of websites they bother to look at. If all you look at is open source project sites, or SaaS products, or travel websites, or whatever then they do look very similar because they all employ a design language that works for that sector. That does not mean all websites look the same. If you step out of your comfort zone and go looking there are some amazing/challenging/different things being put online.

In other words, it's not the web. It's you.

Let me be the contrarian here: history seems to suggest otherwise.

All throughout history, any society of sufficient complexity develops strong hierarchies, with a small ruling elite. Throughout history those ruling elites almost never had a problem exerting sufficient oppression on the majority of the population so as to remain rich and powerful. Indeed it has been argues that the ruling elites of yesteryear were substantially more wealthy in comparison with the rest of the population than today's rich. Ruling families tend to last centuries (e.g. the almost 2000 year rule of Europe by a few families like the House of Habsburg which ruled Austria for > 600 years, or ongoing 2.5K years ruling family in Japan, the Shang dynasty ruled in China for 554 years. House of Saud is ruling for nearly 3 centuries. Etc etc.) We remember the French revolution, because it's so rare.

Contrary to what you claim ("expensive institutions"), oppressing a large number of people into submission is cheap, provided the oppressors cooperate tightly and efficiently. (See also the prevalence of slavery in almost all known societies before industrialisation).

It has been argued that by letting the rich get off with some tax evasion, the population buys them off, buys their acceptance of democracy and low-levels of oppression.

This is just lovely for newcomers to Git. Great little mascot, too.
Just use signalfd and refactor into an event loop without jumping around.
Even without NFS, using mmap requires being real careful about signals - SIGBUS can be raised any time the underlying file operation fails, including because someone else truncated the file, or because the underlying storage had an error (disk error, removed media, network storage). And, as this post so eloquently illustrates (and through my personal experience), handling SIGBUS/SIGSEGV cleanly in a multithreaded program on POSIX is incredibly painful.

Honestly, pread is just a much better solution for 90% of use cases, and it works for large files on 32-bit systems (mmap does not!). If you're doing largely sequential things, fread/fseek often work remarkably well as they handle all the caching for you.

mmap tends to shine performance-wise if you need random access to a file but access certain parts of the file frequently (for example, accessing the index in a header + contents of the file), because the page cache is literally designed for this type of usage. But the performance improvement is rarely worth the technical complexity.
> Using setjmp and longjmping from a signal handler is actually unsafe. It seems to cause undefined behaviour, especially on MacOS.

Have you considered making a dispatch_source_t of type DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_SIGNAL and handling all signals in a dispatch queue, instead of trying do figure out what kind of behavior is legal in a signal handler?

> If a library such as Breakpad registers for Mach exception messages, and handles those, it will prevent signals from being fired. This is of course at odds with our signal handling. The only workaround we've found so far involves patching Breakpad to not handle SIGBUS.

Would it be possible to install your own handler before Breakpad does?
I'm working on something similiar but way different. High-level REPL with a UI editor enabling you to rapidly develop over multiple levels of abstractions that end up doing token translations to existing or provided custom implementations. You'll basically define data, define flow and persepctives on data and that's it.

"In hindsight it's difficult to justify using mmap over pread"

This needs a stronger justification. mmap allows reading and writing large data structures without copying, which can be a huge benefit depending on the use case.
I don’t entirely follow sorry, could you expand a little on your comment about it being patronising how Americans blame the west?

In the Middle East, there are so many bad actors it’s ridiculous. I haven’t consciously encountered Americans blaming the west for the situation in the Middle East. Does the definition of ‘west’ you are using include the US?

In case it is relevant, I am from New Zealand and think the disgusting behaviour in the region started long before the US got involved and includes far more countries than any set defined as ‘western’.
Even places as far away and as small as New Zealand have ended up with a record of massacres and murders when in involved in the region.

It could be both if there were more diverse types of housing that fit the different stages of life.

Apartments and cohousing early in life, single family homes when you have children, and then downsizing.
Thank you for the write-up. As an occasional scripter (a coder I am not), I found it very useful - a very nice and structured presentation of both coding practices, and of the challenges of supporting multiple environments with their own way of doing things.

Showing the scope of change within the editor is a rather nice touch. Visualization of complexity, if you will.
Well, then you have to implement some kind of plan for efficient caching - some kind of LRU scheme, for example, to prevent the cache from ballooning to unusable sizes - at which point you're reinventing the kernel page cache (poorly). mmap does have a big advantage here if you really need a lot of random accesses.

> how would the major organised religions cope with the revelation (pun intended) that there was life that originated off of Earth/outside of the garden of eden?

Like they've dealt with every other scientific advancement that killed their beliefs. They will deny it as much and as long as they can until they will be forced to admit it, at which point "god" will shrink to an even meaningful pocket of scientific ignorance. Some of them will keep denying it forever
I think that particular statistical issue is not that relevant. There are others - if you compare Teslas to other luxury cars they have more fatalities for example. The Tesla fatality data is likely incomplete. The autopilots tend to get used on freeways which have much lower fatalities than town driving. And I'm sure some more. (Here's an article pointing out flaws and suggesting Tesla's death rate is about 3x comparable luxury cars https://medium.com/@MidwesternHedgi/teslas-driver-fatality-r...)

On the other hand I think people mostly know the score. I'm sure the driver in this crash knew he should have been looking and autopilot was not 100% reliable. I enjoy riding motorcycles which have a stupid high death rate compared with cars. It's a free world to some extent.
Is it still worth becoming a data scientist?
I agree with your conclusion, but the compassion angle isn't helpful in discerning whether or not it is truly safer, and every fatality is a human death and can be just as impactul to others. This guy is no different to the 3.7x more people per mile who have died in other vehicles, so where is the concern toward those manufacturers? What are they doing wrong that their fatality rate is so much higher?

If turning off automated features in a Tesla would lead to more deaths would that still be the right thing to do? At some point in automations progress this will become the Trolley Problem thought experiment, with one side being "Five people die but it was their own fault" and the other side is "One person dies but a machine did it" and we will have to decide which is morally correct.
I do think the way they use the statistic is probably misleading and at last non-trivial to compare, but FWIW the ratio of in-vehicle versus non-vehicle casualties is about 10:1 in the US, and the statistic is for motor vehicles, so bicycles would either not be included (if they fell off the road) or would be part of the non-vehicle casualties alongside pedestrians.

Why would using non-ASCII characters (I assume that is what you mean by Unicode characters) in a git commit message break anything sensible? It's meant to be human readable text, and defaults to UTF-8 (although you can use legacy encodings if you really must).

Any git hook processing stuff would just look for stuff it does understand (like '([Cc]lose(s)?|[Ff]ix(es)?) #[0-9]+' or something similar) and ignore the rest.

Scores of developers use non-ASCII characters as part of their native language every day in git commit messages, and even non-BMP Unicode characters like emoji work just fine.
I don't think that everyone should be able to edit the style of native elements.
I prefer a consistent behavior, and the select itself works fine everywhere for example.

But i sadly agree, JS stuff is going to be needed for a long time.
That one is amazing...!
I feel like you should use some kind of library for this instead of handling it all yourself.

If all it took was hard work to live a dignified life there would already be plenty of dignity. The fact of the matter is the world doesn't work on dreams, hopes, and hard work. Silicon Valley had plenty of failed companies to prove this. It works on the fact that bad things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people and the vast majority of your ability to deal with that comes from how much money your parents had, something over which you have no control. The fact that you have to pay dues in the form of taxes to be part of something like the United States shouldn't be a hard choice to make. We're all willing to pay for corporate welfare, military excess, public land give aways to private entities, but heaven forbid we give up a little bit of cash in the form of taxes to help our fellow citizen. If you look at the outrage on taxes it's always when it comes to helping other people. Access to healthcare shouldn't be a political issue. There is no liberty in a life where one must make the choice between certain death and loss of freedom. As a citizen you're also not compelled to stay in the United States. You can gain all the benefits of citizenship and live in another country. You can even choose to become a citizen of another country. This idea that you're forced to help your fellow citizens is plainly a falsehood. As soon as you become an adult you're free to leave the country. Compulsion is an illusion.

This does not work - signalfd cannot catch synchronous signals, per the man page:

> Limitations

> The signalfd mechanism can't be used to receive signals that are synchronously generated, such as the SIGSEGV signal

This is because synchronous signals are fired at the thread that caused them, and signalfd read() calls can't be used to read signals fired at other threads.

For me, it’s work that caused a constant sense of anxiety for the last decade. When I’m not doing anything, I start thinking about work or doing work. There is just so much to do, as an entrepreneur.

I have this feeling like sure, I can be idle for an hour or so. But it would be incredibly boring and also why?
Good discussion. On the flip side, in my data mining class the professor keeps saying ~"you may be able to find clusters in a data set, but often no true correlation exists." However, that's an absolute statement I just don't swallow. In my mind what I see is that if an unexplained correlation or non-correlation appears, it may be random (or true) or it could be the result of an unmeasured (hidden) variable. In your two examples, your simply pointing out two respective hidden variables that weren't accounted for in the original analysis.

I think any data analysis should always be caveated with the understanding that there may be hidden variables shrouding or perhaps enhancing correlations - from economics to quantum mechanics. It's up to the reviewer of the results to determine, subjectively or by using a standard measure, whether the level of rigor involved in data collection & analysis sufficiently models reality.
It's an interesting dichotomy — the author paints doing nothing as "detaching from life online" and instead "engaging in an activity without considering whether it’s productive".

Personally, a lot of my "doing nothing" happens online as well. Whether that's good or bad I can't say, but my goal is definitely not to be productive when I'm randomly browsing the internet.

As the review points out, it works for the author and her artistic lifestyle, but probably wouldn't for me.

If UFO's were "real" (as in actual aliens or other amazing things) then I would have expected a vast increase in footage and photos over the last five years as cameraphones and dash cams became pervasive. This has happened for "fireballs" and meteors - lots of amazing dashcam footage from Siberia and Canada and so on.

Why not alien spaceships?

Because alien spaceships are not here.
