I'm not so sure I would. For one, Ada is in no way a niche language. For two, C (and C++ by extension) simply were not designed with safety or reliability in mind. I happen to think that it's fair to say that they weren't designed at all, in that C compilers existed before the first language specification, and the language specification was forced to accommodate their quirks. Cargo culting about C is fine and all, but it often leads to absurd claims that it is more suitable in any arbitrary domain than languages and compilers designed specifically for the domain.

Behold, LLVM and GCC both miscompile the same numerical code involving mildly tricky aliasing constraints.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54878#issuecomment-...

I think I'd prefer that safety-critical code be written in languages that don't allow pointer arithmetic except in scenarios that can be proved via static analysis not to introduce multiple memory aliases. Expecting program writers and compiler authors to get these sorts of things right in C/C++ is just unreasonable.

You can follow the history of web development and see exactly why the current stack is as it is

I have lived this history of web development. I remember when CGI was new and exciting. Now I see modern sites using literally thousands of times the memory and CPU to struggle to do things that were trivial even back in the 90s on a 486 with 8Mb RAM.

A typical document, say a news story might be 2kb-5kb in size. Why does the page need 5Mb of JS to deliver and display it?

So I am 100% confident in my assertion that the web as it is today is massively and needlessly over complicated.

“Computer security” is too narrow; you want to secure more than just computers (phones, for example, which are technically just little computers but no one calls them that).

“Information security” is too broad as it covers more than technological systems—sensitive information often exists on paper, for example.

A close plain English name would probably be something like “information systems security” and I have heard some people use that, but it’s kind of a mouthful.

I guess I wonder why people get so upset and offended by the word cyber. Sure it’s a made up word, but all words are made up. IMO a lot of the resistance to using it comes down to weird cultural signaling like “I’m too smart or informed to use this dumb word.” It’s just a word, and even people who complain about it know what it means.
> AMD’s bet on TSMC is paying off in a major way

Going back a bit further, AMD spinning off GlobalFoundries and then shopping around for fabs on the open market is definitely looking like a very good decision with hindsight. GF has also, since then, run into problems rolling out a next-gen node, and eventually cancelled their 7nm. Hard to say how much you can credit AMD for foresight there vs getting lucky, but being manufactured by TSMC vs. in-house has worked out well.

I don't think this was obvious at the time. Some people thought it was a good move (obviously including the decision makers), but a good number of pundits interpreted AMD giving up on a proprietary in-house fab and relying on commercially available facilities as basically AMD throwing in the towel on being able to compete head to head with Intel as an integrated chip designer/manufacturer, relegating them to more the budget space. To be fair, at the time (2009), TSMC processes were behind Intel's, so you would've had to predict TSMC catching up and surpassing Intel.

> The ports tutorial says all ports need to be built with X-windows running on the build machine. Does that still apply to python3 code?

X needs to be installed, not necessarily running. It’s needed because some packages, perhaps dependencies of the port you’re building, depend on X libraries.

> There is a man page for 'pkg_create' but there's hardly any tutorials that reference it or how to use it.

pkg_create is not a tool you generally run by hand. Packages for OpenBSD are always developed from within the ports framework. pkg_create is run in the background by the "make package" step: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/guide.html#PortsChecklist
Efficiency of solar conversion is only important in so far as where solar energy is a limiting factor. In our case, it is not. There is plenty solar energy that reaches the earth and that we are not using.
There are 3 answers to the "higher power" topic:
1) higher power motors are easy, bigger batteries are expensive and heavy.
2) frequency and regularity of usage are the best determinants of whether electric makes economic sense, not size/power, but the bigger power boats tend to go infrequently and highly variable distances.
3) longer-term the low utilization rate high capex problem is solved by shared usage models (as it has been in every other field).

Ah, an arm of the Cato Institute, that makes sense.

Seriously, we have a lot of very immediate work to attend to with regards to our environment. Our vital ecosystems are literally under assault from many of our current ways of living. That we have not had a watershed moment of ecosystem collapse yet is frankly astonishing, but be assured, it is coming, and be assured that there are powers-that-be that have the most to gain from suppressing open dialogue about this. The people funding this type of editorial are among those who will be least affected by the dire impact that the destruction of the natural world will have on all peoples' ability to live happy, prosperous lives. For them, only their personal wealth (read, happiness) is at stake, and as far as that goes, their perspicacity ends at their next quarterly report.

> Because you're not truly out of o memory at that point. there are still pages that can be evicted.

No, you are truly out of RAM at that point - the amount of RAM all processes need exceeds the amount of memory the system has, and the user has indicated that no swapping should be done.

Now, if the kernel truly wanted to handle this case gracefully by swapping disk-backed files, I think it should also tell the process scheduler about this, and enter a special mode where only processes whose code is currently resident would be allowed to run, until they hit a hard wait. This might prevent the thrashing behavior in many cases (assuming processes don't interact too much with memory-mapped files). Otherwise, every context switch initiated by the scheduler is likely to cause another page fault event.

The bar just keeps moving higher. Right now making a website that looked good a decade a go is very easy, but the cutting edge is about responsive, highly interactive applications. Additionally they are constructed by teams of people, increasing the level of complexity because of the need to share code while staying dependency-free. Client applications have become increasingly complex for anything that isn't a trivial website that mostly displays information. Complexity management on the client side I think is its own paradigm that is often not given enough credit and then people get surprised why their UI grows increasingly fragile while taking days to implement seemingly simple features.

Ironically some of the tools in the article will probably grow old which is part of the difficulty here. People learn the libraries, then it seems a new, better library comes along and makes things even better.

The E-Tecs have done exactly what you said - a lot of engineering to meet emissions requirements. Unfortunately, the requirements for outboards include CO, NOx, and HC, but not P2.5 or P10 (particulate) emissions, because they are much simpler and less scrutinized than the regulations on cars (which DO have particulate limits). The E-Tecs put out 30X as much particulate emissions as the 4-strokes.

> You can't remove all the bad videos any more than you can remove all the cholera from the river.

Good, we agree. YouTube cannot win here.

> Do you know how we protect populations from cholera?

Yes. It's a fundamentally different problem, and the analogy is deeply flawed. Objectionable YouTube videos are currated and concentrated by the very population you're trying to protect. They're also created and circulated by thinking humans who are actively trying to evade the censors and get their videos to the population. The minimum number of videos needed to achieve significant damage in a vulnerable person is shockingly low (more than one, but frequently less than five).

Take these points together and you'll realize that unlike biological examples it is infact necessary to virtually, if not entirely, eliminate objectionable videos to avoid their negative consequences. And now we're back to my original point; this is unattainable, even though it seems like it would be. Because of the base. rate. fallacy.

Nope highly adapted animals are very similar to humans and can simply move to areas more conducive to their survival and avoid any impact from climate change.

Look at Chernobyl that proves that in fact it will be exactly. No humans, lots of biodiversity. Lots of humans, very low biodiversity. Low or no economic activity, high biodiversity... etc.

> A favourite nostrum of many environmentalists is that you cannot have infinite growth with finite resources. But this is plain wrong, because economic growth comes from doing more with less. So if I invent a new car engine that gets twice as many miles per gallon, I’ve caused economic growth but we’ll use less fuel. Likewise if I increase the yield of a crop, I need less land and probably less fuel too. This “growth as shrinkage” happens all the time: think how much smaller mobile phones are than they once were.

I'm not sure that nobody wants to pay. There are too many things to pay for. Suppose 50% of the sources of HN are paywalled with a monthly subscription. How many of them one person could be paying for? Not many I guess. With a per post subscription? More but we're not really there. Furthermore it's hard to ask for money before the customer sees the product. How many disappointments before the pay per article model fails?

Eh, it just came out last month, give them some time.

In fact Intel had supply issues with their 9900K at launch too, for at least a month or two they were often out of stock at the major retailers. If getting ahold of a 3900X is still tough by next month then maybe that's cause for concern.

I would agree that Intel is more mature on the BIOS side of things. AMD usually has launch issues that need to be ironed out with UEFI updates. But, if the past few launches are any indication, they've always got things fixed.

> Obviously this review of the ultra high end is not focused on single thread performance because that'd be insane. But in segments where it does matter, like consumer, it was not glossed over at all.

I principally meant glossed over in discussion in threads like this. The review has a whole section on single-threaded performance, and Xeon comes out ahead:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/14694/amd-rome-epyc-2nd-gen/9

It doesn't just matter in consumer land. It matters in some high-end workloads as well. I was replying to someone who lamented the poor performance of EC2 EPYC instances. Depending on your workload, they are poor performers.

I was very careful in my statement when I said that Intel has superior skill in designing for lower power or high clock rate. I did not say that that particular skill results in Xeons having a generally better performance, cost/performance, or power/performance profile. What I'm saying is that they can use that skill to anchor themselves at the very low power and very high clock rate niches to slow their decline.

AMD will continue to close the gap even in those respects. If I had put an EPYC 3251 up against my Xeon E3-1230 it would have smoked it at roughly the same power draw because doubling the core count absolutely matters. I'm not disputing that. And Zen 2- or Zen 3-based 3201 probably would out perform the 1230 as well without double the core count, though notably no such CPU exists at the moment. But people are underestimating what Intel still has going for them. Intel's strategy at this point will be to slow their market loss to buy them time to retool and counter, just like when AMD had the lead 15 years ago. Intel has some leverage to slow that loss.

And as some others have pointed out, Intel also has a huge product lineup. Do you know how many systems you can find with an EPYC 3000 series embedded chip? Only two: Supermicro in a miniITX form factor and Congatec on a COM Express Type 7 module. So, basically one as far as most people are concerned. OTOH, Intel has more SKUs in that market space than I can even be bothered to investigate, some of which are equal to or better than the EPYC in power, performance, and cost.[1] It'll take many more years for AMD to begin to displace Intel in those spaces. Again, that gives Intel time, breath spacing, and cash flow.

[1] I chose the EPYC because of Intel's poor security track record, and to support AMD. If the only thing that mattered to me was power, performance, or cost (individually or together) then a Xeon D would have been a smarter choice. EPYC Rome would likely change that, but there is no Zen 2/EPYC Rome embedded yet, nor any hint of one. I'm beginning to think it won't happen until Zen 3/EPYC Milan.
