Interestingly, if the article is to be believed knitting patterns aren't as old as civilization but are actually roughly contemporary with mechanical knitting machines.

Also, I suspect the actual answer is that knitting patterns as a general concept aren't actually all that interesting, what people are interested in talking about is the things you can do with them. So there are a lot of fairly old, long articles about various knitting stitches and techniques, traditional designs, yarns, communities etc but no-one created the "knitting pattern" article until 2015. The otherwise extremely long and detailed article on knitting referenced patterns even before then, there was quite a bit of information about where to get them, and the various row counters used to keep track of where you were within a pattern had a huge article covering different types and their history, but nowhere explained what a pattern was and how it worked!

(The other interesting thing is that a lot of the knitting-related articles were obviously created by women, as you might expect, but the article on knitting patterns was created by some guy as his first edit. His only other edits were an attempt to split up the content in the extremely long main knitting article into other articles which was immediately reverted. This probably does show something about some kind of flaws in the Wikipedia model, but probably not the ones you're assuming it does.)
IMHO splitting to files is overrated anyway. "File" is such an abstract concept when the implementation can vary to the extent of anyones imagination.

For humans, tooling is the king. If your IDE can open windows into different parts of a file, set bookmarks, has excellent navigation and so on, then why obsess about representation in the file system?

It is more that you can have values like `payload : if byte[TYPE_OFFSET] == TYPE_INT then Int else String`.

You are required to disambiguate the type before anything useful can be done. What has happened is that you have types being passed around by functions and evaluations which reflect dynamic behaviour at runtime - but there is a type statically known at all times for each part of the program.
I don't think you got my point though. If you're using timestamps for anything else than dumping into a logfile (or purely for displaying/cosmetic purposes), you're doing it wrong. Somewhere along the line, you could end up with a nasty surprise. Not thinking of clock drift or any kind of seasonal adjustments here.

Maybe you're using time-package right and avoiding the above, maybe not. Timestamp usage is best to avoid for anything business critical.

"Super apps" are just bundlers.

This is the history of software, and other businesses as well.

From Jim Barksdale:

“Gentlemen, there’s only two ways I know of to make money: bundling and unbundling.” And said, “We’ve got an airplane to catch.” And we left, and Peter Currie, walking out the door, said, “Those people are looking at you, Barksdale, like you’re crazy. What did you just say?” And I said, “Well, best I can tell, most people spend half their time adding and other people spend half their time subtracting, so that’s what works out.”

> On on end you have the idea that we should stay in "lockdown" until there is a cure or vaccine.

Is anyone saying that? Although I've heard plenty of "it's just a flu!!!" comments, I don't think I've seen anyone claim that permanent lockdown is a viable strategy.

I don't believe any country is pursuing an indefinite "until further notice" lockdown policy, although "lockdown" means different things to different people. Most European countries seem to have accepted that long-term social distancing measures are required, whilst trying to open up as much as possible.

The UK government is hoping for a vaccine in September. This may not be likely, but it seems to be possible.
Yep. I'm personally waiting for the day when I can get an e-ink laptop. It would be amazing. I don't need color. Just grey scale and even 20 FPS would be fine. But that's not what the greater market demands, unfortunately.

Indeed - the Type/Kind hierarchy is unified when you write a dependently typed system. In simply typed lambda calculus, you have a system of values, types, and kinds, which are required to make sense of the structure. In dependent types, you have values, and types, which are also values.
There is not a huge gap at all.

Li-metal batteries [edit: still an immature tech] are at around 14 MJ / kg, and gasoline is at 47.5 MJ / kg.

Moreover, suppose that you are really "off-grid". Meaning, you are off any fuel supply network!! In this case precisely, you would be saved by electric-related techs, such as photovoltaic.
Why? This source indicates that they never pretended that it was truly a literal representation of the number of books that were actually sold (https://books.google.ca/books?id=PEZkkbohbtoC&pg=PA290&redir...). And while you can argue they should reveal their methods, it's not disingenuous because it would be simply impossible to have an exact number of copies a book sold.
C has much more of an excuse to be difficult & fragile. It's surgical. Web tech is designed to be abstract. If your abstraction introduces too much fragility or complexity or cost or overhead then it isn't worth it. Abstraction is a tax, it has a cost. Save the disrespect, in my experience greybeards understand that a lot better than we do.
I don't think that's entirely true; like ICEs, HDDs still have various niches were they are very valuable. Notably when storage density is the most important factory (data hoarding, backup solutions, etc.) and most of your access will be linear or random reads will not happen that often.

While not many new things in HDD space have made it to market, there is still quite a few big things in development, the new HAMR technology (and friends from other vendors) are projected to be able to double/triple capacity.

SSDs sadly still cost a lot if you need 50TB of them. Comparatively, my 50TB NAS cost me about 15$/TB. Most SSDs still hover around 90$/TB and go up to 120$/TB depending on use case.

Similary ICEs have two big advantages over non-combustion alternatives: energy density and price. A modern ICE is complicated but not terribly hard to construct, in part because processes exist but also because the things that happen in an ICE can largely be achieved by using common materials like steel, titanium, ceramics, oil and rubber. Gasoline and Diesel are very energy dense (and bad for the environment and climate) and can be lit/triggered by a simple electric sparkplug.

Comparatively running a hydrogen (non-combustion) engine is very hard to achieve as hydrogen is an element that really wants to set itself on fire and if it does so, the result is not very conducive to safe operation (hydrogen flames tend to be invisible and it loves to explode or atleast deflagrate).

Electric engines are much more efficient than any ICE but suffer from energy density problems (solvable by using a hydrogen fuelcell but that has above mentioned issues). If not for that, it would be the next thing and people are working on that. I have no doubt that despite that, ICEs will continue to be used where alternatives aren't possible or expensive.
All of the skeptical comments I've read here are talking about how ICE are already obsolete, since electric cars are cleaner, quieter, and simpler. I'm picturing this engine being used in other applications (even though the website, and the journal the engine is publushed in, are automotive).

Stationary generators and marine drivetrains come to mind. Those are less sensitive to the greater size and weight that this engine might have, and they benefit greatly from the ability to load fuel, store it, burn it as needed, and be refueled at any time, even while running.

As an example, my local university's datacenter has two rooms full of batteries for power backup. They instantly switch on, but can only power the datacenter for a short time. To protect against extended blackouts, there are two redundant diesel generators in the sub-basement, and enough fuel to run the datacenter for several months. Battery technology seems to have a ways to go before it'll be worthwhile to just have a basement full of batteries as long-term backup power.

People with those sorts of use cases are probably going to be relying on ICEs for a long time to come. In the meanwhile, efficiency improvements can make them less harmful to own and operate. And even after 150 years of developing ICEs, engineers are still coming up with ideas, maybe even practical ones, to gain those improvements.
Jailbreaking for iOS Developers
SSDs have been mainstream products for at least a decade now. Ten years ago, the largest HDD we had was like 2 TB. We currently have 16 TB HDDs and people are expecting us to have 50 TB HDDs in 2026.

And not only that, 16 TB HDD is quite affordable. Just 500 dollars for a Seagate IronWolf. Meanwhile a 3.2 TB Seagate Nytro will set you back about $1800. SSD mass storage is an option for only those with deep pockets.

Hell, not even tape drives have gone away yet. Amazon Glacier is just one example.
> combustion engines fumes make up for a tiny fraction of carbon emissions

Not true. Transport (road/sea/air) accounts for 29% of US emissions. That’s hardly “tiny”. Of that, 59% is from light duty road transport. Burning fossil fuels for transport is a major contributor to global warming.

Makes me really glad knowing that I donated to Internet Archive (Wayback machine is a part of it).

I really hope Internet Archive manages to keep what it is doing.
Yeah, but in 10 years when this technology is productionised, the use cases for it are going to be increasingly niche. Just like horses.
I've used it, and it's very similar to OpenCensus and OpenTracing. If you've used either, it's not much of a stretch to use OpenTelemetry.

That said, it is still beta, and will be until Q4.

You seem to have a proclivity towards bombing things as a solution.

How about, you get the CIA out of your country so that the German people can trust their intelligence services well enough to bring justice, when its due, to those who you feel are corrupting your society?

Or, would that require bombing something?
There was a self aware version of lisp. You could feed it the program specification and it would write a 100% conforming program itself and run it. Unfortunately first time they fed the spec for a real project it outputted the words 'dear god no' and deleted itself.

Nope, I was able to lear C with 18 years, make cross-compilation from a PC to Dreamcast and some basic OpenGL stuff with 20 years (dial-up internet days, no youtube tutorials/platforms).

My mistake, I didn't check before posting.

The use case was: Keep the table online and don't bring down the Galera cluster (which happened when running an ALTER on a table with millions of rows).

We went for pt-online-schema-change (from Percona) which copies, alters the new table, keeps them in sync, and then replaces it. All automated which is pretty sweet.

There have been quite a few advancements in mechanical drives post SSD.

The “cloud” and all your data still primarily runs on mechanical drive and their density is now higher than ever.

And the development road map for mechanical drives is still expanding.

HAMR drives will be on the market in 2021-2022, then you have BPR, MAMR and even GMR drives on roadmaps and research papers.

The only reason you think development has stopped is because other than for home NAS mechanical drives have pretty much disappeared from the consumer market.
Knitters are huge Internet users they just mostly use Ravelry.com instead of Wikipedia.
Do they still delete stuff when the site removes access via robots.txt? Others can look at this example and later when they also need to do "history hacking" decide to get rid of this problem by removing themselves from the wayback machine. IMHO, if you are important enough to have a Wikipedia page, what you say publicly should be immutable.
This doesn't really seem to be specific to Javascript. A beginner in pretty much any language will have to go through these kind of issues.

Wow, those are insanely good. “Infinitude,” 1910, in particular, looks like a painting, sort of reminds me of "Isle of the Dead" by Böcklin. It has that same eerie mood and feel. "Heart of the Storm" is a straight-up homage to old epic classicist works. I never knew old photography could be this visually striking.
This is an interesting proposal. However, there is still a small flaw to privacy, in respects to you making an account with an email attached. Many of us here will know how to make an anonymous email, but for new people and/or people who need to talk in suppressive regimes (that would be able to track back the account to the email it was created with), wouldn't be such a great idea. Although they will not be able to read the contents of the conversation because of the PGP encryption, in many countries, having suspicion of this can lead to torture.

Therefore, I still believe that Briar is the strongest in this. Each individual message has a different key, so if one key is compromised the whole conversation isn't exposed. Furthermore, the signup process us just a username and password - no need for email or phone number. Thus, making it far harder for regimes to track back to the source, especially if they are using Tor when creating the account and when using the account.

This is not to say that Delta isn't a good idea, I just think that it is very similar to Signal (the main difference being the email signup instead of phone number).

Cryptflow: Secure TensorFlow Inference [pdf]
I am aware of at least one company which does this from my consulting days, and would caution you that what you get in perceived security benefits from making sure that tenants can't interact with each others' data you'll give back many times over with engineering complexity, operational issues, and substantial pain to resolve ~trivial questions.

I also tend to think that the security benefit is more theatre than reality. If an adversary compromises an employee laptop or gets RCE on the web tier (etc, etc), they'll get all the databases regardless of whose account (if any) they started with.

(The way I generally deal with this in a cross-tenant application is to ban, in Rails parlance, Model.find(...) unless the model is whitelisted (non-customer-specific). All access to customer-specific data is through @current_account.models.find(...) or Model.dangerously_find_across_accounts(...) for e.g. internal admin dashboards. One can audit new uses of dangerously_ methods, restrict them to particular parts of the codebase via testing or metaprogramming magic, etc.
The expectation is not receiving more apologies from companies, it is companies learning from screw-ups like this and not trying to pull off stunts like this in the first place.

Why not trillions?

While it's true they killed a lot, like most empires 5 centuries ago, they weren't as bad as the others.

Hernan Cortes defeated the whole Aztek Empire with 600 men. How? Easy, he had multiple tribes helping him because almost everyone of them wanted the azteks gone. That means they waged war against natives and they won. It has nothing to do with sacrifices.

From a total population of around 45 million, around 95% of them died smallpox and other deadly viruses.

Cortes even married an indigenous woman and had children with her just as a lot of other conquistadores did. The Catholic Kings legalized and promoted mixed marriages almost 500 years before it was legal in the US. That's why from Argetina to Mexico you can find millions of natives, millions of mixed people and millions of europeans.

Hard drive development hasn't stopped. It just changed direction, because pursuing better seek times is pointless when it is impossible to increase RPMs enough to catch up to even low-end SSDs.

Perpendicular magnetic recording hit the market around the same time SSDs started to go mainstream. Since then, hard drives have advanced with the introduction of helium filled drives, multi-stage actuators and shingled magnetic recording. This has enabled an order of magnitude increase in drive capacity, and substantial increases in sequential transfer speed. Dual-actuator drives and HAMR/MAMR are in the process of moving from the lab to commercialization, and will respectively bring an increase in random and sequential IO throughput (but not latency) and more density increases (which always bring some sequential throughput improvement, too).

What's really been missing from the hard drive R&D scene is more Nobel-class discoveries like giant magnetoresistance to allow for big jumps forward.

Documentation for C/C++ libraries is usually just the header file: https://github.com/expnkx/fast_io/blob/master/include/fast_i...
This is a very good analogy. Perhaps the best I have heard. Also SSD was with its own 'range anxiety' in that space was always a lot less in your configured system than the spinning disk equivalent.

However, advances in automotive are also driven by legislation. The three cylinder turbo charged engines you get in regular European cars are there because of the legislation and that cheating diesel doesn't sell any more.

With this continual ratcheting up of legislation there is an incentive for manufacturers to improve the ICE technology. Particularly when efficiency is across the fleet so those inefficient SUVs have to be offset by lean hatchbacks.

This means there is incentive for golden bullets, solutions that promise the earth and allow ICE to linger on for longer. Not many of the legacy auto makers can compete in EV sales. They could make the product but the Tesla is hard to beat. They all fall short except when in the subcompact segment where Tesla don't have a product offering.
1. Large scale impact : Your features reach billions of users

2. Compensation: The RSUs are real money, FANGs pay the best in the industry.

3. Job Security: FANGs have large cash reserves. There's lower likelihood of a FANG going under compared to an up and coming unicorn

4. Brand : Having a FANG on a resume helps you find jobs and possibly get investments. Notice how companies advertise as "We have engineers from Google, Facebook and Netflix" in their job posts

5. Perks like amazing health insurance, 401k match, free food etc

6. Mentorship: A FANG is likely to have more senior engineers, with experience. A startup is more likely to have younger folks. There's a lot to learn from people with experience in the industry.
