That being said, it doesn't work for all architectures, and Ghidra will pop up with a rating box when you press Ctrl+Shift+G, explaining the compatibility/support for your current processor (for example, amd64 binaries are considered a "GOLD" rating, meaning there's an extremely high chance of your modification working correctly)

Counterpoint: SQL is incredibly successful and its syntax uses natural language structures quite heavily.

The problem Cobol has is that uses some natural structures, but then becomes very verbose because it only uses a few, and they often can't be combined, so it is very repetitive.

It's not natural to say,

I will buy eggs at the grocery store.
And I will buy ham at the grocery store.

> The point of programming languages is to be more productive...

But you should be productive not only in initially writing the code, but also in reading it later when you do maintenance.

And what you see with most languages is extensive commentary to help future authors understand what's going on, and that's partly because terse languages tend to be cryptic.

Leverage fragile enough to go bankrupt, is enabled by limited liability, and is kind of the whole point of corporations. Limited support of risky endeavors shouldn't bankrupt limited partners.

I used the definition 1 MB == 1 000 000 bytes (there are several definitions for what a megabyte is). Each diagnosis key has 16 bytes. 16 bytes * 3 million patients = 48 million bytes = 48 MB. Note that not just the diagnosis are uploaded but also day numbers. Those follow strict power laws and compress pretty well with even the simplest entropy coding schemes to a sub byte size.

how high the tolerance for extremely intrusive government action

You could also view it as high demand for government functionality, with an accompanying commandeering of the governmental power by the public, which has leverage of its own. Consider, for example, that 1/3 of the country is on a rent strike right now, a proportion which will likely grow. That part of the polity is learning to flex its political muscle for the first time in a while, because the economic and political establishment suddenly finds itself at a severe disadvantage.

Of course, the government commands asymmetrical strength through police and (less directly) military force, but that's only effective insofar as disparate groups rarely have broad common interests that transcend regional, economic, or social boundaries. Since the internet provides many of the tools to facilitate collective action and COVID-19 has provided a sufficiently broad incentive, political incumbents are discovering that their powers are only as extensive as the willingness of people to cooperate and that they do in fact require the consent of the governed.
There's a mess of different VNC implementations with wildly varying speed and quality. TurboVNC is probably the best one I've found, it feels pretty similar to RDP in terms of performance (even without setting up their 3d acceleration stuff).

A lot of heat and very little light in this article. Share buybacks are just like dividends—a way of returning capital to stockholders. Whether companies issue $2 trillion in dividends or repurchase $2 trillion in shares makes no difference. It used to matter more to individual shareholders because dividends were taxed more than capital gains, but that tax-differential has diminished. If shareholders can’t get a cash return, corporations will just turn into giant non-profits run by and for the government—which may be the ultimate aim of the anti-buyback crusaders.

I do remember something similar, but back from the union.

A Teknika Molodezi (a popular science journal from USSR) from around late fifties told that... "by the year 2000, every soviet housewife would have a nuclear reactor"

Remember, that was in times when electricity linkup for a household was still a relative luxury. Even in Moscow back then, it was very normal to live in an apartment with very poor, irregular electricity supply, or none at all.

I do vividly remember pictures of possible applications, like powering a fridge, providing heat, hot water, or steam for house cleaning... or cooking.

Only at the very end, there was a bit of scepticism "it now appears that advances in metallurgy open a clear way to making a reactor as small as a stove, but material science has not yet found a way to contain radiation that is not as bulky, heavy and expensive as lead or uranium"
Even in those areas, however, Go hasn't done the things that Elm did (according to this article).

There have been a lot of experiments with Go package management, and some did get fairly widespread adoption. After many years, they are getting replaced with an official way, and there are some hard feelings, but experimentation and adoption of alternate solutions was never forbidden. Even with the official system, you aren't locked into the official package management infrastructure; there are flags and environmental variables you can set to use your own servers.

There have also been a lot of experiments with Go generics, often implemented via a preprocessor. I don't think any of these got a lot of traction, but again, they weren't forbidden.

Ultimately, the Go team decides based on what they think is right, but at the same time they aren't so insecure about competition that they need to suppress it.

I wonder what the feasability would be like for an unmanned version nowadays - no need for shielding during flight (although you're basically flying a dirty bomb around).
Ah, my favorite topic. There was a $1B (1950s dollars) program in the 1950s to make these. It led to vast nuclear development. Some good reading and pictures on it are in this huge report [1]. I particularly like this image: https://whatisnuclear.com/img/nuclear_rocket.jpg

Another fun fact, if you've heard of molten salt reactors (MSR) or the associated thorium fuel cycle, you should know that almost all of the tech development related to those projects came from the program to develop nuclear-powered aircraft. The first MSR was called the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) [2]. The second one, the famed MSRE, was built in the building that had been entirely funded and built for the air force project, using mostly parts and certainly the expertise built by it.

The insistence with which you have been asserting that young people are being "punished" reveals adherence to an agenda more than an evenhanded analysis of the facts.

I don't think that's fair to the OP. They seem to me to just be describing what they see and feel.

In a cold, utilitarian sense, the ripple effects from messing up a young life are many times more significant. If schooling, work, romance, and childbearing of young people are all disrupted, you can expect to see that in the economy for decades to come (just look at the name "baby boomers" for the opposite case). But, again in the cold utilitarian sense, if the life of someone with 10-20 years left is disrupted, that disruption doesn't last as long.

Pensions are relying on guaranteed ~8% returns. If a company doesn't think it can spend its profits wisely, and it chooses to buy back its own stock and enhance the stock price, it indeed helps retirees, sovereign wealth funds, etc.

It is quite rich that companies load up on debt so hard that the slightest blip and they collapse. But IMO the problem is not with that situation - it's that the government doesn't simply let these businesses fail. Bankruptcy can wipe out the shareholders while letting the business be purchased, re-capitalized, and brought back with more prudent owners. The government has trained the private sector to expect to be bailed out when a black swan event occurs, so they no longer worry about black swan events.
I think people are misunderstanding what I meant.

The core issue seems to be that executives who are effectively “paid in stock” are directly incentivized to
maximize the market value of the stock before they sell,
whether that is good for the long-term health of the

This is why you should keep paying your employees that worked for the company for years, having written all of the mediocre code when they still could not program well at all.
Untangling microservices, or balancing complexity in distributed systems
On a related note, I recently started my first dev job. I found an issue and told one of my mentors "I wonder if something stupid is going on in <insert library name>". She called me out in front of the entire office saying "I don't appreciate you calling our work stupid, we worked really hard on these libraries for years". What? Are most developers this sensitive about wording? I should have said "weird" or "strange" instead of "stupid", but give me a break. I obviously wasn't attacking anyone, it was just a figure of speech and we all have moments of stupidity.
we're about to witness another, and probably the greatest to date, round of wealth redistribution. There is going to be a lot of distressed assets at the bottom while the well connected top will have unlimited (my mind needs some time to make distinction between unlimited and $6T :) access to money. From the heights of the Pareto of 5-10 years down the road the today's Pareto will look indistinguishable from a uniform distribution.

It’s quite obvious that more intrusive measures (lockdowns) are needed now, but what do you do once they’ve Had their effect? You can’t just abolish all measures, as you’d be back to square one. That’s where this comes in handy.

> You'd have to be naive and short-sighted to accept their pinky-promise of privacy-first in this context.

Or, more constructively, you could examine the spec and see whether it’s privacy preserving as promised, and ensure that the deployed software confirms to the spec. How about that?

I wonder if it makes sense to forbid members of congress from owning anything other than a narrow class of investments (for example homes and index funds, though I'm surely missing many).

This sounds like the old "cut their pay!" argument. The rejoinder to that argument is that it should be practical for people who aren't already wealthy to hold office, and a low salary would hurt that.

This is different because the hit to potential earnings from restriction to a basic generic portfolio seems small (maybe not relative to the upside from insider trading, but to what members of congress would make as average citizens). Heck, it's still possible to trade in index funds off insider information. But the advantage seems smaller.
Madness: Free 2D Platformer Game 2020
There is surprisingly little discussion about the actual spec here. It looks really good to me!

- Advertisements change every 15 minutes, are not trackable unless keys are shared.

- The only central bit is a repository of "infected" daily keys.

- No knowledge about contacts is shared with a central authority.

Nothing is shared unless you are infected and decide to share your keys, which are only valid for one day. I don't see how you could have a real argument against this unless you are a privacy extremist. It also seems more privacy friendly than the Singapore or German apps.
Are systems used for "scientific number-crunching" really applicable in this case? While some departments may have those on a separate network, not connected to the internet at large, I have never heard of a system employed for research tasks being completely air gapped. Otherwise, accessing and working on data would be prohibitively harder. Would such a trade-off be worth the potential gains by deactivating mitigations?

Also, may I ask why you dislike Phoronix? I personally enjoy their articles and the benchmark suite they have developed seems very well-rounded and transparent. I wouldn't count the statement concerning the ~50% increase in time it takes to complete a certain task on 4.20 as clickbait, considering it was never used in the linked articles title to hock readers and gain clicks.

Honestly, I have yet to see a large and popular enough use-case that allows for a both completely air gapped system, whilst also heavily benefiting from disabling mitigation to such an extent, that an admin couldn't just lock up the flags required. If I, as an admin, made the conscious choice of going so far as to disable these patches, I would also want to at least re-read whether this is truly significantly advantageous, rather than copying a line from a website with no context or further information on the current state and impact on performance.
Ditto, (hi fellow Gem City-er?)

The Kirlin’s occupy a very particular role in the city.

once operating the largest franchise of Hallmark stores for nearly 60 years before quickly going out of business a few years ago. Other Kirlin defunct businesses include “The Fly”, a Blue jeans only store in the 80’s, KSNI (Kirlin Super Net Inc) a dial-up ISP in the 90’s.

The mentioned Kirlin of the story used to run “The World Freefall Convention” the largest skydiving convention in the world. For about a week and a half the small Airport would be beset by 10,000 skydivers and cessnas. One quirk of Quincys airport is a super long runway that can support a DB Cooper style 737 jet landing, so one would be chartered to allow 100s of skydivers to do high altitude jumps.

Unfortunately the convention ended because of the Bible-thumping city leaders didn’t care for the weeks of debauchery that were part of the festival attendees.
I suspect they're sophisticated enough to turn something like an "index fund of what the people in charge buy" into a profit by making sure the timing of the reporting makes it more profitable for them.

Since the reporting isn't instantaneous, they of course also have insider knowledge of their own trades and that those trades would influence markets and when. They could screw around with the timing of trades to give misleading stories, like selling off a bunch of stuff just before they file a report and then buying it after their action tanks the price.

But a virtual index fund that tracked their purchases and sales to make a record of how well Senators do in the stock market compared to an index fund (which I believe are also run by well informed people)? That might shame them into changing the rules if it looks bad. Of course, I don't know enough to say they aren't behaving themselves.

Some cases that look suspicious might, when taken as a whole with their other trades, average out and make clear that they lose money even when they have insider knowledge that they will lose money. Somehow I doubt that, but if it's truly a blind trust or an independent fund it should be true and would increase faith in our elected officials to see hard data for.
