NoSQL means two things to me: (1) schemaless(!) document store (2) sharding across multiple machines out-of-the-box.

(1) there's always a schema, it's either explicit or implicit. I find explicit to be less troublesome along the road. Sort of like static type checking--values have types, do you want to handle it at compile (sooner) or runtime (later)

(2) can be provided by NewSQL databases, e.g. CockroachDB but you will be paying upfront in latencies. Can't get away with doing N+1 queries so code has to be cleaner sooner.
The developers say it's the fastest, but does anybody have a link to benchmarks?

The Wikipedia article for "reporter's privilege" [0] has an overview of the various laws (statutory and case laws) regarding it. At the national level, the Supreme Court has only ruled on it once, in Branzburg v Hayes [1] which ruled that journalists can be compelled to testify to a grand jury.

I am sympathetic to the point that you are making and hate to go all legal-positivist, but an illegal war is a war that isn't legal under international law. Defending your country from an invasion is like the gold standard of legality. It sits in contradistinction to, e.g., wars of aggression, which are what they sound like. To be a legal war where you're not defending against an invasion, it's necessary to have either a UNSC resolution supporting the war or a compelling self-defense/preemptive justification.

For the 2003 invasion of Iraq, people argue that it was illegal because there was no UNSC resolution. The U.S. and U.K. argued that it was authorized under the UNSC resolution that blessed the first U.s. invasion of Iraq. I think that sounds like nonsense, and particularly when you factor in that the actual pretenses for the 2003 invasion were false and probably fabricated by the aggressing parties—it seems like not a stretch to call it an illegal war.

Obviously the 2003 Iraq Invasion doesn't itself get you to OP's 4 million body count, but I hope this is a helpful start.
> The people who designed it call it AMD64. Let's call it that.

They originally called it "x86-64". Recycling a comment of mine from 4 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22282127):

The "x86-64" name is the original one, and came from AMD themselves: https://web.archive.org/web/20000817071303/http://www.amd.co... (and "x86_64" is obviously an alias for where a hyphen is not an allowed character, like identifiers on many programming languages).

The "x64" name came from Microsoft, probably due to file name length limitations (this was before Windows XP unified the Windows 9x and Windows NT lines).

IIRC, the "AMD64" name came later, probably to distinguish it better from Intel's IA-64 (Itanium).
It’s not a question of changing habits it’s the content syndication model that broke down. It used to be if a reporter spent months researching something other news organizations would often pay to publish the same content. As better content directly had higher value, the risk vs reward equation changed.

The internet effectively broke this model.

I've never understood the "We can ship this but it's not contract" mentality. To my mind if you ship something it's contract. I think developers keeping that in mind would make the world full of more resilient code. You're making a contract w/ your future self, if nothing else.

To the point re: modifying internal state and screwing-up the application - If you're writing anything out to persistent storage you should assume that it's untrusted data when you read it back in. If for no other reason than physics itself is a malicious (or, at best, ambivalent) actor.
He’s not the worst criminal that ever existed. He’s also not the best whistleblower that ever existed. He’s a guy who helped expose things that were important to know about, who’s also a narcissist and very probably a rapist. He doesn’t deserve to be punished inappropriately for exposing what he exposed, he doesn’t deserve to be exonerated for the actual crimes he committed, and he doesn’t deserve to be treated as a hero for accepting a role as an agent of weaponized information for a global fascist movement. He’s a guy who did one good thing with questionable motives, did at least one bad thing, and is otherwise just a guy.
I'm specifically referring to applications (like Chrome) that you use interactively in the foreground. When using one of these applications, your device is not off or in sleep mode - it is on, you are interacting with it, and it is either consuming more CPU or less. A memory-hungry, CPU-light design drains your battery more slowly than one the other way around.

Additionally, the extra power cost of adding more RAM to a device is very low relative to even using 25% of total CPU TDP. [1] gives 3W per DIMM for DDR3 (which is an upper bound, given that LPDDR3 will consume far less power while fully on, let alone in deep sleep mode) and [2] gives 2.5W for DDR2.

Edit: aha, found a paper[3] on RAM power consumption in a phone. Far less than 5% in either "suspended" or "idle" states, under 10% in almost every other benchmark, and universally lower than CPU power consumption.

> BLM influences who your colleagues are

Does someone need to 100% support BLM (the political movement) to make an acceptable colleague?

What if someone: opposes racism and thinks police's use of force should be more regulated, but disagrees with some BLM tactics/approach to achieving change?

For example, what if the destruction of property from the protests, or calls to defund the police, actually cause a backlash at the next election and it reduces the chances of anything actually being done. Is someone allowed to make a critique like that?

The bottom line is there actually needs to be a diversity of thought to solve problems, and if you silence anyone who isn't 100% behind your message your not going to make change.
Wow! Developers' brains are really in-sync, it appears.
Stopping genocide. More generally the Responsibility to Protect[1]. For a while this seemed likely to have legs but after Libya went from a functioning state that was more or less peaceful to a never ending civil war with open slave markets due to Obama, Clinton and Power Russia and China are likely to veto any similar US actions. Note the US isn’t solely to blame. In Libya and Syria there was a lot of support in Europe for the US to spend its money, power and political capital doing things the French and others wanted someone else to do but were incapable of doing themselves, by which I mean, unwilling to pay for.

Or a PC game can just slap a minimum RAM requirement on and be done with it.

I’m impressed with the tech but it seems like the end goal was to keep console manufacturing costs down. Now
it’s being sold as a gameplay-enabling feature and reason to upgrade. The upgrade only looks impressive because the PS4 by now is so old.

Relying on cheap SSD storage instead of expensive RAM, and relieving CPU effort via the storage streaming chip is a cool trick. But that tech alone enables absolutely zero gameplay experiences.

It hasn’t been proven to us whether or not a typical gaming PC’s increased memory just overcomes the need for this tech. If I have a PC with 32GB of RAM and my GPU has 8GB of its own RAM I’m not convinced that a PS5 with 16GB of shared RAM will do anything that the PC setup can’t.

Desktop computers eclipsed the performance of current consoles gen consoles so long ago that I am still suspect: my prediction is that a decent mid-range gaming computer is completely capable of playing any PS5 game.
One thing to remember is that this dropped circa-2001. The dominant Windows versions were ME and XP.

Both of which featured driver models of... not too much system protection.

So applications (especially games) looked a lot more like their console cousins, in that they took advantage of all kinds of weird hacks and did things 1,000 different ways.

As opposed to now, when you have more strict intermediary layers, and software sits on top of more defined interfaces.

So things like "the MechWarrior developer in charge of jump jets decided to base timing off the PCI bus speed" or god knows what, isn't that surprising.
The article gives several examples.
I posted a long boring reply about this that you can read above, but it strikes me that your comment lives or dies on the meaning it assigns to the word "justify."

Apple's got a lot of surface area, and a pretty damn good track record.

Who else is doing what they're doing? No other consumer hardware company goes top-to-bottom from the software to the chip, and no other company has such a cohesive ecosystem. Google EOLs a product once a week, Microsoft is making some nice stuff these days, but is nowhere near the same experience ("Windows is like a bundle of drivers", as in the article).

There is value to being prescriptive over their platform. It gives them skin in the game to make things good; they are much less willing to just blame a vendor.

You're think of WebSQL.

Could you give a few examples of this? I still can't think of anything particularly common that would reasonably justify more than a dozen tabs at once...

> i think browsers could be doing much more than just tabs and bookmarks to help people organize, because right now it seems like the equivalent of a desk with lots of papers strewn around where someone grabs yet another blank peice to start writing on...

Yes, I completely agree. I'm working on a piece of software that goes several levels beyond what browsers currently offer for information organization, and (per the topic) it optimizes for CPU consumption at the expense of memory, for the reasons I gave in my comment. However, for the browsers that we have now, bookmarks are much better for organization than tabs. You can tag them, name them, and put them into folders - none of which you can do with tabs.

The right is the ones advocating for changes with respect to immigration, access to abortion, affirmative action, the tax code, the power of public service unions, and a whole host of other issues. The left is defending the status quo more than many seem to appreciate. More, the left seems to be more picky about morality issues, even, though the set of morals aren't sexual or religious (for instance), they are environmental and multicultural (for instance).
> But taking x86-64 and making it x86_64 is even more lunacy

There are contexts where hyphens are not allowed but underscores are, like identifiers in many programming languages. Replacing the hyphen with an underscore is an obvious workaround.
That's an interesting claim. It's true in theory--the information is still there--but what's actually going to do the separation of the noise from the signal?
One quick-and-dirty way to maintain the traditional model would be to copy the on-disk DB into an in-memory DB, then make any changes in memory; when the user clicks Save, the application would then move the old on-disk DB, open a new one with the old's original filename, copy everything from the in-memory DB into the new on-disk DB, and delete the old on-disk DB.

Another option would be to keep both the in-memory and on-disk copies open, and then update the on-disk version in-place with the in-memory version's data when the user clicks Save. SQLite has built-in support for connecting multiple DBs (such that you can query both in the same statement) to make this straightforward.

> And they all refused to resign?

Which is why a system based on policing corruption through public outrage is doomed to fail. You need to have a system that has actual mechanisms--investigations, prosecutions, and convictions--to keep a lid on corruption. Public shaming doesn't work because the public has only so much attention span, and there is soooo much corruption.
similarly, dropping off supplies or deliveries -- maybe where they are dropped from a great height via parachute out of a plane. Or dropped off by a delivery truck.

"Lattice drops recent EULA clause" would be easier to interpret if the initial and final altitude of the clause was specified. If the initial altitude was unusually high, it might indicate that the clause was being introduced via parachute. If the initial altitude was comparable to the altitude of an object being held in a person's hands, and the final altitude ground level, this would suggest the clause being discarded or removed.

In your last paragraph you are conflating throughput with latency. What good is 'loading 150MB of data within one frame at 60fps' when your game freezes while doing that. You cant simply count on MMU page table fault being handled, and new missing texture loaded 'just in time' from compressed SSD. You cant even do that _today_ on modern PC with uncompressed textures in main RAM, latency is still too big.
Plus this isnt exactly new idea. 13 year old Carmack megatexture was one of the first widely known implementations. AMD shipped hardware support for Partially Resident Textures almost 10 years ago https://www.anandtech.com/show/5261/amd-radeon-hd-7970-revie.... We can go further 20 years back back to Gamecube flipper gpu virtual texturing (specialized texture unit MMU) http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/guide/1786/gamecube-faq-n...

At the end of the day PS5 will still precache streaming geometry/textures like PS4 does now (COD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvdTtl27TpM), like PS3 did (GTA4), like PS2 did (GTA3), like PS1 did (Crash Bandicoot). Sadly there is no magic breakthrough coming with next gen consoles, and this SSD thing was the best they could muster to build the hype :(

I was just leaving radio astronomy when the MWA was in later stages of design/deployment, I remember the discussions around designing the data storage for it, and it was centered around the idea of having to fly the data set back and forth (At the time, around 2008-2011ish?) - so it was so large that it wasn't really feasible to use the Internet for each data collection run. On the order of many terabytes if I recall correctly.

> Because one of those groups is a set of criminals that will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and the other one of those groups is a set of government agents with a history of not being held accountable for their actions.

You could say that about both groups. There is a cultural tradition in the relevant communities of not talking to the police, which causes disproportionately many of those murderers to get away with it, and the murder solve rate in the US isn't all that high to begin with.

You tend to get more murders in proportion to how much the perpetrators expect to get away with it, so the numbers are telling a story there.

> There's never been a lack of focus on intra-community violence. It's been the go-to "whataboutism" for ... ever.

Apparently not to a sufficient extent to actually address the problem. If you don't want people to keep pointing to it then get there to not be something to point to.

> It's also not relevant to the question of why government authorities should be exempt from the consequences of violating the law.

The officers in question are facing homicide charges, as it should be.

You're just begging the question in limiting it to government authorities. If Black Lives Matter then shouldn't all of them?
