WASM’s memory access sandboxing is actually pretty cheap in most implementations; all the major browser engines now use reserved virtual memory with a segfault handler on most systems instead of range checks.

Building an Internal Kubernetes Platform
I've been playing around with Rust because it's a promising low-level systems alternative to C++ but the reality is that many projects are enabled more by existing libraries & tools rather than blank slate clean language syntax.

Some example domains of libraries & tools where C++ is the 1st class client instead of Rust:

+ deep learning: NVIDIA CUDA api is C++

+ HPC High Perfomance Computing: Intel MKL math library is C++

+ physics engine for video games: Unreal game engine is C++

+ latest cpu chip : ARM Allinea dev tools for the new Neoverse chips (e.g. latest AWS Graviton2 servers) is C++

+ Qt GUI is C++

Because of the extensive C++ ecosystem, you get a non-intuitive situation where programming the latest cutting-edge apps requires a 35-year-old language from 1985 instead of the newer Rust language from 2012. I predict this delta of tools+libraries between C++ and Rust will continue to exist for 10+ years.

One could try to write a bunch of Rust wrappers for all the above C++ SDKs but I'm not convinced that's a good use of development resources.

> If I owned an iPhone 6 in 2015 and own a Samsung A50 today, and the web is slower and jankier today than it was five years ago, then isn't it fair to say that the web got slower?

Yes. But what do you suggest as an alternative? Refuse to take advantage of technological progress to cater to the small portion of the population who haven't updated their phones in half a decade?
Yeah, I clearly need to change the wording here as it's just adding confusion.

The key thing here is that adding 10x height gives you 10x more PE per weight without extra digging costs (or tower costs assuming the cost per unit of height is constant)

Here's how to think of it: by digging one deep hole instead of many shallow holes (with the same amount of digging) you get (n^2 / 2) instead of (n/2) Potential energy. The average height of all the modules is half the height of the shaft. With one deep shaft, the modules pass through the same excavated volume so they can all go deeper on average.

tjpalmer, the creator behind the Context Free youtube channel, created a tool named "Languish" that also gives some perspective on C++ trends, see for example https://tjpalmer.github.io/languish/#y=mean&names=c%2B%2B%2C...

Languish is based on GitHub activity instead of online content and searches (which is what TIOBE does), I find it neat.

He also has a video from February of this year where he presents it in more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu0jWgGoDjc.
So, C++20 got final approval this month. Which in turn means a lot of content generated off the back of it and lots of people looking at it. Which means you'd expect a TIOBE spike because they base everything off internet search engine data. Actual numbers of people using it before and after? Probably exactly the same.
People can get Internet via other means, and there are plenty of ways to do phone calls.

I am interested in how WASM will affect in-browser ad blockers like uBlock Origin that work on a finer grain than merely blocking entire domains. Will they still be effective?

Also, how will WASM affect browser extensions that change the look and feel of websites (like Stylish/Stylus), or the means of interacting with them (like Vimperator)?

These questions all boil down to how much control is the end-user going to have with WASM compared to what they had with the pre-WASM web?

Yes Facebook should handle all such takedowns itself instead of outsourcing it.

It's tempting to say they can take down things like fake election dates without causing any concern, and that's probably true. But there also isn't much that falls in that category, and people can still send such messages via other messaging platforms like WhatsApp, email, the web etc. So it may simply not be worth the slippery slope in the end.
But why? Do we not look down the road and see that this is basically like an endless arms race, with the environment and the long-term survivability of the planet itself hanging in the balance? Are people happier when they live in a country of 300 million versus a country of 150 million? I completely don't understand the interest some people seem to have in increasing population "just because bigger number".
This is where C++’s fanatical commitment to backwards compatibility really helps.

You can bring your C++98 code and compile it with the latest compiler in C++20 mode and it should still work.

This allows you to upgrade (and learn) incrementally. You can slowly incorporate new features into an old code base.

Google isn't saying their search means something is "better" or more popular though. If I search google for "restaurants near me" it shows me restaurants near my current location, or a link to Yelp etc which then relies on reviews by humans.

If someone is telling me: "This index of 'top' programming languages is meaningful" I want to understand how said index is generated, because obviously there is a massive human element. You could make indexes like this which show Haskell is the top programming language if you used certain data points and similarly you could make Rust the top language if you used a different set of data points. It's totally open to authorial biases.

Yes, that is correct. But the end to end efficiency of Electricity -> H2 -> Electricity is much better than Electricity -> H2 -> CH4 -> Electricity.

Hydrogen at 0°C and 100 Bar (~10MPa) has a density of 8.3447 kg/m^3. It has an energy density of 120 MJ/kg. So about 33 kWh/kg. So you end up with 278 kWh/m^3.

Now of course you have to multiply this by the H2->Electricity efficiency. Let's be very pessimistic and take 0.6 or 60%, which is what a gas turbine plant can achieve today.

You end up with 166 kWh/m^3 of usable electricity per cubic meter.

One of many german gas storage facilities https://www.nafta-speicher.de/en/company has a volume of 1.8e9 m^3. That translates into 300 Terawatt-Hours of storage capacity for just this one facility.

The listings process is highly regulated and any conversations of this type would be confidential, so I can’t answer this one
Why is shorting not consistent with long-term thinking? You can think a company or industry will decline over a long-term horizon, just as much as you can think it will grow. It seems like the symmetry of being able to be either short or long on a company is a useful part of the market signal.

I'm also not sure "hold for 6 months" is particularly useful. A lot of people are already investing on that timeline today and it hasn't solved the problem. Also, there are enough investors on aggregate that there would still be a lot of buy/sell activity every day even with that model.

Something that might be kind of interesting is if there were a short trading window every ~5 years or something. Then nobody is trading at all for years, the company can focus completely on the long-term vision and only have to check in and worry about the public perception of the work for a short period of time every few years.

First, rather than look at these necessary accomodations as something workers shouldn't get, you should look at it as a very useful bit of flexibility that all workers should receive.

You are thinking about this from a single perspective, but it is a massively complicated & interconnected issue.

For one other perspective, consider what would happen is companies didn't do what you call "subsidizing". Effected employees can't then keep their job, they have to take leave or find another job all together. That's bad for the company which loses experienced employees and must now pay to identify, recruit, and train a new person, who doesn't know as much about how things run in that business. That person is going to be much less efficient for 6-months to 1-year before they are completely comfortable. You are then subsidizing them instead.

Or consider a broader economic perspective: Let's imagine companies say they won't subsidize like this and impacted people have to take a 10% pay cut. Over 60% of the workforce in the US is white collar, jobs more likely to be WFH possible. That works out to about 79,000,000 workers. Average salary for White Collar jobs is $60,000. Let's say 1/3 need to work from home for family reasons, and they all take a 10% pay cut. That means the economy loses $158 Billion dollars. That is nearly 1% of our GDP, just in that one move, and it doesn't end there: Those people cut back spending. Areas heavy with such workers, like major cities, SV, etc., suddenly have a huge % of their customer base that has to cut back spending. Businesses like restaurants etc., already hurting, take another hit because 1/3 of 60% of all workers (works out to about 18% of the total workforce) now has to cut back discretionary spending. Even if that accounts for only half their 10% pay cut, that's equivalent to almost a 10% reduction in customer base.

Or consider it from a healthcare standpoint: Putting additional stress on this portion of the workforce will have significantly higher stress if "unsubsidized". That translates to more mental health problems, and expensive health care. Some of these workers may lose their insurance if they drop to part-time work, putting an even high burden on the the healthcare system.

Small things can have massive ripple effects. Saying "It's not fair!" is mostly not a helpful guide to resolving complex issues. Right now solutions are needed to keep society running while we get out of this crisis. Approaching it from a narrow sense of fairness is short sited. It won't be fair to the local shops that lose another chunk of their business. It won't be fair to other workers who have to pickup the slack left by a lost employees. If you're going to bring "fair" into things, you can't cherry pick only the one thing. That is one-dimensional thinking. You need to think multi dimensional. You need to consider second and third order effects.
Companies can dual-list so LTSE does not need to be the primary venue

Stock exchanges have the obligation to set standards for the behavior of managers and investors. It’s this dual-stakeholder role that uniquely allows our reforms to take hold.

A lot of people write content like this for nothing or next to nothing. If the bar to publish a blog post is "needs an editor" then there's a lot of content that simply won't exist any more, because people don't want to pay money to read blogs (at least I know I won't).
Indeed, but this is also the main reason why Java and .NET have been getting features for more mechanical sympathy.
Much better, but not the 2^4 or 16x improvement we would have gotten had moore's law continued as usual. I've anecdotally noticed a substantial shift from interpreted languages of the teens to statically compiled languages over the last 15 years. I wouldn't be surprised if this trend is simply due to performance.

There is a ~2x perf improvement from moving to a non-gc, natively compiled language in most benchmarks - will companies 10 years from now reap a dividend from being on average 2x faster than their competitors?
How about combining that with a landfill?

Dig a very deep hole with a radius of 500 m, with a 500 m granite block that you can raise and lower in it to store and retrieve energy.

When the block is raised, toss trash into the hole. Then when the block is lowered to retrieve energy it also becomes the world's largest trash compactor.

Eventually, you'll get enough trash in the hole that even massively compacted you won't have enough room to make the energy storage from raising the block worthwhile.

You then have to dig another hole and move the block, leaving behind a full landfill that has more trash in it than a normal landfill of that size would have.
For me it's the opposite. I dread to see a Patron cancel so I can't take any time off since I'm imagining any "slacking" will lead to cancellations. It really feels like a race against the clock with every Patron is on a thin line.
Why would you want to put a cap on management compensation?

The comp for the highest level of management essentially comes out of the same pool of money as the returns to shareholders. If shareholders want to pay the CEO lots of money, let them. It's their money.

Especially, C-level executive's pay doesn't really come out of the same pot of money as low level employees' pay. The pay for cashiers at Walmart is more dependent on what Target or McDonald's pay their cashiers than on how much money the CEOs make.

Thanks to outsourcing jobs to third parties capping exec pay at some multiple of lowest employee pay doesn't make much sense. Many companies don't directly employ their security guards for example, but pay a third party company.

As for board members: they should be compensated however much they can negotiate for.

If I were to own a company, I would have opinions on how much the board members should be compensated. But who am I to tell other people how much to pay for services?

And I don't think all board members necessarily own significant amount of shares. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_director

In any case, I don't really understand how capping compensation would help hold management to account? I can see an argument for how management should mostly be paid in eg stock, so that their incentives are aligned properly. But I don't think that's what you wanted to get at?
C++20 wasn't even ratified until earlier this month. I seriously doubt that most industry programmers are using it, or even have access to C++20 toolchains.

That seems plausible, but there have been lots of news stories where every major outlet published an absurd sensationalist story which was objectively refuted by the story's own sources. Even here on HN years later people subscribe to (and will die on the hill for) the trivially debunked sensationalist interpretation. Two examples that come to mind are the [Covington Catholic fiasco][0] and the [Google "Diversity Screed" memo][1].

Besides, it's my perception that the news has become more sensational, and I certainly don't think it's accurate to say that the jobs of fact checkers have become more difficult (except in the sense that their superiors hamper them in some manner on account of the profitability of sensationalism, which is essentially my point).

I personally think there's some merit in the notion that we live in a post-truth world. Both the media and the POTUS feel comfortable lying quite overtly as though they understand that the value of credibility is at an all-time low. Academics in critical theory fields deride objectivity as fundamentally racist and talk about "other ways of knowing". Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like there's a sea-change in our values, especially as they relate to truth and integrity.
