In high school i took a robotics course that took up part of the school day and went later than typical school. Your comment resonated with me because what i found great about it was that we were given the resources and freedom to build/explore what we wanted. You could come and go as you pleased with the only real deadlines being competitions we entered into. Certainly not the right thing for everyone but i think for a lot of kids the free time needed to explore things they are curious about is huge. Even more so these days given the wealth of content available online

Being opposed to keeping crowds off of beaches and people from infecting one another in restaurants is akin to advocating against vaccinations or seatbelt use.

Right now we are in the middle of a flaming inferno and there is a vital role for our democratically elected government to play in mandating mask use and other measures. This is very much a war like moment and we should unify in our resolve to defeat our shared enemy.

They did do a lot of testing compared to other EU nations like the UK which was even slower to start testing. I too am puzzled by their very different figures and extensive testing seems to be the answer (500k tests per week) - the UK is still not testing in the community in contrast and is doing far fewer tests. This is the only major difference I can think of.

We're thinking very differently about the same topic. To me, MOV is not atomic, except in specific cases. You're saying that MOV is mostly atomic except in a specific set of cases. In the end, it's about how defensive you want to be about it. I tend to be very much on the defensive side in arguments like this.

I really can see the appeal in having the code blow up as soon as it can and as aggressively as it can. It's ideal for development. This stuff is hard enough as it is and impossible to test 100%. There's no testing harness on earth that allows you to enter two sections of code on two cores with a cycle-accurate delay and with a 100% defined state of the CPU (TLB, cache contents, branch predictor status...).

As for alignment guarantee by the language: your own example code uses pointer arithmetic to conjure up a class out of thin air that is overlaid over other memory and thus has the improper alignment you're exploiting. That demonstrates how little faith you are allowed to have in the alignment of an instance of your type if you didn't allocate it yourself. The same thing may happen if you make such a type part of packed struct.

I've just skimmed the relevant sections on alignment in the C++ standard, but it is not very explicit on the issue of alignment of fundamental types. The chapter on the atomics library doesn't bring that issue up at all. I'm not reading through the entire thing now - I'm not that bored.

Since reading about this on here I have added a version of this to my pre-flight checks (glider). I point and say everything in the cockpit and then do the checks using the traditional mnemonic with the hope that everything will be in the correct state. It turns out to be easier as I am only doing one thing at a time rather than having to remember the mnemonic at the same time as setting stuff. I am not sure I actually need the mnemonic any more.
SARS was contained relatively quickly however, while the countries doing the mitigation looking potentially into many months of flattening.
I have a C2 with them, and find that whenever I try to reboot it from within the VPS, it kernel panics rather than reboots. This makes automated security updates requiring reboot problematic (this is a small personal server for running nextcloud, I don't care if it has a couple of minutes downtime in the early morning, but turning off and not turning back on again is more annoying.)

I don't know for sure if this was the issue that caused them to stop, but I expect if there was this and other issues that were hard to solve or kept cropping up, they perhaps just decided it was trouble than it was worth.

Amazing, you can buy a triple A title and have it just work out of the box. I'm so happy with Valve's support for linux. And of course the thousands of hours of work that have gone into Wine.
It's becoming a more reliable experience to play old windows games using wine than trying to run them on windows 10.
I'm really not sure there is a causal link there between masks and cases, singapore is also doing extensive tracing and testing (except for their migrant workers it seems).
I started doing this anytime I have to do maintenance on systems. I point and call the name of the system and say “test” or “production” and other descriptive words like “web server” or “dmz” or whatever. We’re working on not requiring manual processes for routine deployments (We’ve automated some), but until then, every extra bit of safety we can add is well worth feeling weird for talking to your computer.

> How do you know that? It's not inferrable from the DAG. Is sequencing also provided "a layer up"?

I jumped the gun there and made an assumption that the value of a node is the LWW ordering :) Ok, so without that assumption, the DAG

1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 4
`--> 5 --> 6

...are the values of the operations that the DAG represents, ie. values of a key, so we need to look at the Lamport clocks (or Merkle Clocks when the operations are hashed as a merkle dag) of each operation, represented here as ((ts, id), key, value):

((0, x), a, 1) --> ((1, x), a, 2) --> ((2, x), a, 3) --> ((3, x), a, 4)
`--> ((2, y), a, 5) --> ((3, y), a, 6)

which one is the latest value for key a? Which updates, semantically, were lost? In a non-CRDT system, which value (4/x or 6/y) is or should be displayed and considered the latest?

> This is a problem! If you claim to be a CRDT and offline-first or whatever, then as a user, I expect that the operations I make while I'm disconnected aren't just going to be destroyed when I reconnect, because someone else happened to be using a computer with a lexicographically superior hostname (or however you derive your vector clocks).

You're conflating the data(base) model with the log and we can't generalize that all cases of data models or merge conflict are cases of "I expect all my operations to be the latest and visible to me". They are semantically different. If the writes are on the same key, one of them has to come first if the notion of "latest single value" is required. If the writes are not on the same key, or not key-based, multiple values appear where they need to. What we can generalize is that by giving a deterministic sorting function, the "latest value" is the same for all participants (readers) in the system. From data structure perspective this is correct: given same set of operations, you always get the same result. For many use cases, LWW works perfectly fine, and if your data model requires a "different interpretation" of the latest values, you can pass in your custom merge logic (=sorting function) in orbitdb. The cool thing is, that by giving a deterministic sorting function for a log, you can turn almost any data structure to a CRDT. How they translate to end-user data model will depend (eg. I wouldn't model, say, "comments on a blog post" as a key-value store).

If you're curious to understand more, I think the model is best described in the paper "OpSets: Sequential Specifications for Replicated
Datatypes" [1]. Another two papers, from the same author, that may also help are "Online Event Processing" [2] and "Moving Elements in List CRDTs" [3] which show how by breaking down the data model to be more granular than "all or nothing", composing different CRDTs give arise to new CRDTS, which I find beautiful. Anything, really, that M. Kleppmann has written about the topic is worth a read :)

Comprehending monads by Philip Wadler (LFP '90)
The 12-inch MacBook is pretty much the only kind of computer where ARM really makes sense in my opinion. So basically that and the MacBook Air. Don't really see the point in an ARM MacBook Pro and even less in ARM Mac Mini, ARM iMac or the unthinkable ARM Mac Pro.

Granted, this kind of a strategy would require Apple to maintain two versions of macOS, one for x86 and one for ARM. But Microsoft at least is managing to pull that off, so it's not at least impossible.

It's interesting you mention sugar. There's also a biological component here--diet plays a huge role in how your brain works.

For example, on a ketogenic diet (no sugar and limited carbs) your brain produces ketones and many people report far less lethargy.

Sugar helps in the short-term, but if you get past the keto-flu, you no longer become glycogen dependent. Long-term ketogenic diets are now finally being studied, with many people reporting tremendous success.

Psychiatrists love giving you sugar and drugs though. Any drugs, any sugar!

I guess most companies could easily just run their code on x64 without porting necessary. How many clients would have ARM64-specific code running that absolutely would not run on x64? What Scaleway did is not ideal, but I think you are blowing it out of proportion.
There have been so many layoffs over the past few weeks, and so much of the coverage has rightly focused on the downside for the people impacted. I wanted to write a more optimistic take.

I studied Joseph Schumpeter and the Mickey Mouse Club and came to the conclusion that being laid off could be the best thing to happen to many recently ex-employees of high-growth startups.

I would love to hear your thoughts, and if you know someone who would find an optimistic take on the situation helpful, share away.

hmmm... this is interesting.

I think I must have this too. E.g. if I close my eyes and try to visualise the face of someone that I hang out with every day, I can't do it.

If I try really hard, the best I can do is a flash of bits of some photographs I remember. It also starts to give me a headache. I think though, if I want to remember how something physically looks it helps to have my eyes open. Even then it's more like flashes than being able to actually see something.

Mostly when I "visualise" something e.g. the house where I live, I think in terms of how things are spatially connected to one another. It's more like a scene from the matrix
- where what I'm remember are more the concepts of things and where they are spatially, rather than what things actually look like. This is pretty much also what happens when I'm coding - thinking in terms of concepts and how things are connected together spatially.

The former makes sense. It’s just a question of whether those power savings are enough to offset the cost of switching, both for the hosting provider and the consumer.

The latter is tricky. You’re creating redundancy, which is good. But that redundancy is mighty expensive, as you have to either accept a lower quality of service in both, or invest in more specialized labor for both platforms.

Analogy: One of the ways that Southwest managed to keep costs down was to use one type of plane. While its peers used a mixed group of Airbus and Boeing aircraft tailored to the route, Southwest only used the 737. This allowed it to save huge amounts of money on maintenance and pilot training, as tons of parts and crew were easily moved around. And then the 737 MAX8 clusterfuck happened, and Southwest is stuck spending more fuel than its Airbus A321-neo flying competitors are.

2. Building a database on top of a "CRDT" append-only log doesn't make the database a CRDT

I don't really see why this article matters that much. Don't get me wrong, with hindsight we can see that it was bad advice, but I think people overplay the effect the media can have.

The only way that cruise ship travel was going to be meaningfully reduced in mid-February was if Carnival cancelled cruises and gave refunds. Maybe the government should have forced their hand, I don't know. But people spent thousands on those cruises and even if CNN had posted an article on Feb 13th entitled "Don't get on a cruise ship right now" I don't think it would have made a huge difference given people's financial investment and the advice from the government that everything was absolutely fine.

I am anxious and discouraged when working on it and often fallback on safety of procrastination.

This is exacerbated by the fact that I like to have a holistic view and understanding of something before implementing something. And I can't do that here :/
> I wonder if this type of thinking is a side effect of dmt et al.

Based on extensive reading in the community, I would say overwhelmingly yes. To what degree this derives directly from the substance, versus an "unlocking" of thinking modalities that already exist but are dormant (or not normally consciously perrceivable) is interesting and worth study, but disciplined, logical thinking is not something you'll find much of in the scene. And that's ok, but only to a degree.

> Perhaps they aren't as safe as is believed.

What most anyone believes about safety or any other attributes seems almost certainly to be quite far off the mark.

> Probably not. By the time the switch for release (non-nightly/beta) Firefox comes, I expect all the currently supported extensions will still be supported.

I think you're being too optimistic - the fact that the regular Nightly and Beta release channels have already been transitioned to the rewrite means that at the same time you've lost all large-scale capacity of doing any pre-release testing on the old version. While that one has been getting ESR-style bug fixes only for quite a while anyway, even those still need some amount of testing. So barring some major hold-ups, they're now committed to transitioning the Release channels in the near future as well, even if that means mediocre add-on support and quite a few other missing things.

I had a microATX case for about 5 years, and it wasn't great. I can't imagine building or using anything even smaller. I had to practically disassemble the whole thing if, for example, a fan started rattling, a SATA cable was loose, or I needed to reset the BIOS[0]. I got a much larger sound dampening case after that, and it's amazing. It's easy to work in and much quieter, and I don't mind the size because there's lots of room under the desk.
