> when we can build cheaper better things that have less environmental damage?

No we can't. The plans are to build nuclear plants that do exactly no environmental or social damage. Solar/wind/etc can't possibly compete to that standard. Try reliably isolating solar panel waste from the biosphere for even a century and see how much it costs. The figures would be too absurd to consider, which is why nobody is suggesting it.

I'd be happy to go with the cheapest thing if everything was to the same standard; but solar seems to getting a free pass that nuclear isn't, because people care about having to evacuate an area but have no fear of heavy metals poisoning. For reasons that continue to baffle the rationalists.

Don't forget that wind turbines still produce at night when there is less demand. So either you use that power to pump water upstream (if you have dams) or you can use it to produce Hydrogen.
"More interestingly, the natural first-order theory of arithmetic of real numbers (with both addition and multiplication), the so-called theory of real closed fields (RCF), is both complete and decidable, as was shown by Tarski (1948); he also demonstrated that the first-order theory of Euclidean geometry is complete and decidable. Thus, one should keep in mind that there are some non-trivial and interesting theories to which Gödel’s theorems do not apply."

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/

The incompleteness theorems apply only to formal systems which are able to prove a sufficient collection of facts about the natural numbers. As there is no function f in RCF which can determine if a given real is also a natural number, RCF can make no statements about natural numbers. Gödel's first incompleteness theorem does not apply (and hence his second also does not apply).

I am a heavy CMake user (as well as Ninja, Maven, SCon, make, Gradle, premake, MakeMe, Buck, Meson, Ant and parallelized bash build tool),

I’ve used CLion and PyCharm as my primary IDE but never used CMake on them anymore after a few aborted attempts. While not the IDE’s fault, CMake is that bad, starting with a “build” subdirectory. The bug report I filed with JetBrain/Idea (IDE creator of PyCharm/CLion) to make it work with Make/autotool is now the oldest bug over there.

I’ll take Make and autotool/autoscan any day and StackExchange for package identification of weird dependencies.

Why would OpenJDK do integer overflow checking? Java integers have well-defined two's complement wrapping semantics. When you add two positive numbers and get a negative result, this might not be what the programmer wanted, but it is not undefined behavior like it is in C.

Are you maybe mixing this up with array bounds checking?

For Blackrock employees in the UK, probably.

If I were to write a program that relied on "writing to a file might terminate me and that's exactly what I want" behaviour, then yeah, I absolutely would include a call to "signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_DFL)" in the main().

Of course, if I were to actually write a filter-like program (a la cat, head, grep, etc.), I would rather have just checked the return values of my write()s. It's -1? Time to call exit(errno).
The most scary part is the usage of if(0).
I still think that there is a simple explanation for the 'reduction in methane' effect, and that the plan has some severe loopholes

Raising cattle in a regular diet of seaweed for its entire life and expecting it to grow correctly is still uncharted territory. Are we pushing cow metabolism to the brink of famine?

Wild seaweeds are harvested and sold for several purposes:

1) To make agar-agar. A substance that is used (among other purposes) as a gut filler without calories in slimming diets and treatments for obesity.

2) As source of medical compounds. Seaweed, specially the red ones, have evolved a battery of chemical weapons to survive its many grazers. They are used to make antibiotics

So, the lack of methane emission... is maybe because the gut microorganisms that released methane have been killed after giving the cattle a cocktail of antibiotics?.

The problem is that cattle needs special gut microorganisms for surviving. They can not process cellulose into sugar without it. How can be (competitively) raised a cow that can not eat plants anymore? In a diet of fish or meat?

This is a serious point that should be explored, in my opinion. If this cows don't grow muscle fast enough (and will produce milk with a funny flavor), all the project is doomed from the start.

On the other hand there is an environmental impact to take in mind, seaweed is related with fisheries and marine production. Kelp grows really fast, but I had seen experiments removing other species of brown seaweed in some tidal rocks and it seems that it takes decades to return.

As seaweed has an economical value, either the farmers buy it at a higher price, or import if from the country that cultures million tons of seaweed each year (China). They could have problems to assure enough cheap seaweed for the cattle.

The cow meat raised in seaweed would be more expensive and with more waste and fuel consumption. Would increase also the dependency of third countries and external policies (that sometimes are not specially nature friendly), and wouldn't be so much sustainable as we think.
gavinray said they built a "small SaaS platform" with Tailwind UI, and then tmikaeld replied with "it's against Tailwind ToS to build a page editor" (which seems like a non sequitur), to which I clarified that the Tailwind framework is MIT so you can do whatever you want with it.

It seems like everyone is confused about everything, but it's all been clarified now.

Well you can build a battery in your kitchen too with a potato, zinc nail and copper coin, but that's not going to be very practical for something like powering a car. What I meant was that, while you may be able to build a basic hydrogen fuel cell in your kitchen, if you want to safely generate, compress, cool, and store liquid hydrogen in the quantities required for something like a hydrogen fuel cell powered car, then you're going to need some expensive and bulky equipment, e.g. EUR60K-EUR90K (USD70K-USD105K) and 6-8m2 space for a system which just provides home heating not the additional piping etc. for car refuelling[0] (I'm not aware of any hydrogen production and storage facilities for car refilling which are currently commercially available for residential use, and wouldn't even be surprised if hydrogen refuelling systems ended up with some form of cryptographic protection mechanism to prevent refuelling from unsigned devices, e.g. home refuelling, for "safety reasons"). So for all intents and purposes, you're going to be dependent on a supplier for your fuel, which of course is what all the potential fuel supply companies want.

I had that sort of impression as well, but after playing with the benchmark and seeing the assembly code, and checking the actual theoretical throughputs for my microprocessor, I realized that in this case, and previous ones, there was nothing relevant to the results that had to do with the way benchmarking was implemented. These pieces of code would be thought to be in the innermost loop, and practically they might not actually process a very large part of the array. There are solutions, and better approaches, sure, but they pinpoint real issues that cause spread in your performance across microprocessors & compilers that are worth having in mind.
You probably know this, but by making it UB, compilers don't need to have the same behavior on every case of integer overflow. This allows compilers to apply much more optimizations.
Federal elections are conducted by state rules. I don't see why having federal offices on the ballot would change such protections.

Yes, quite annoying, and I've been bitten by that before, but you are supposed to check the return of each write().

And I think the motivation is to write platform-agnostic code by default. SIGPIPE is only available on Unix, so you have to explicitly opt-in.
General considerations on updating Java EE projects from Java 8 to Java 11
There will be discounts, incentives, time saving integrations, etc. to entice people onto the cloud version. Then development on the standalone version will languish. You’ll have a “choice” between the crappy, outdated standalone tool or the awesome, modern online tool.

Look how perpetual Office apps vs Office 365 apps work. It’s a slow boil, but eventually the only viable option will be the online version.

At a cost of requiring two to three times as much RAM as a non-GC solution to get that performance, as noted elsewhere in this thread. Indeed, it's been known for years[1] that to have comparable performance to an equivalent program without GC, a GC-enabled program needs several times as much memory available.

Yeah, no thank you. The OS community should stick with Rust.

This is the biggest news of the decade.
I think all of them are important but clearly Konrad Zuse has received way less attention than he deserves. Growing up I remember being taught that ENIAC was the first computer and didn’t even hear about the Z1 to Z4.

But reading up on the details I find that utterly unfair. ENIAC e as way too far away from a programmable machine. It was computation units which just got wired together in different fashion. That is very removed from what a computer is today. The Z1 and later is far closer to what we think of as a computer IMHO, with actual programs being fed into it decoded using registers and and ALU etc.
It would be great if they could all come under common OpenMonitoring umbrella, as ApplicationInsights does it.
Yes. For some time I've wondered about doing a programming language for conservative arithmetic, in which you don't ask for "integer" but specify "32-bit signed, exception on overflow" or "16-bit, do not exception immediately but set a flag which I can check at the end of the function" or "8-bit, use saturation arithmetic".

The exact opposite of the scripting language "everything is just a thing and you can add numbers to strings or whatever idk".

Saturation arithmetic is useful in e.g. audio codecs as it corresponds to "clipping"; there's hardware support for it in some SIMD instruction sets and I think it's required for some compression standards. But compilers won't generate it because there's no way to easily represent it in most languages other than hope for pattern-matching in the optimizer.

Would also be a good place for "please compile this function with constant execution time regardless of inputs and fail if you can't do that", useful for crypto.

Most of the user researchers & research ops people I've spoken with currently use some form of monetary incentive (credit for their own product or cash) to incentivise users to join their user research sessions. This process would work the same with Ribbon, although outside of the platform. In the next few days I'm adding functionality for the interviewer to be able to customise what message users see in the user recruitment pop-up, so that they can let users know about any compensation they will get for their time. In the mid-term another way to make running user research even easier is to help facilitate those payments directly on the platform.

The floating video is a really interesting idea! I've opted for making the script as light as possible, with all of the video chat functionality being hosted on Ribbon. This is to make sure the script doesn't slow down any website it is added to. Further down the line it will be interesting to explore how to make the user journey even more frictionless whilst still keeping website performance top of mind.

Screen sharing is another functionality that's proving really useful in remote user testing. I'm adding that over the coming month!

My gut feeling is that it's probably not substantial amounts of energy to find there. Compared to a car in city traffic which might break to a standstill every other minute, an aircraft generally only "brakes" once when going down for landing.

Further, since air resistance scales with the square of the velocity, the drag forces on an aircraft is so high that you typically never reduce thrust to zero until to just before touching down. An aircraft never idle-glide any substantial part of the flight. I.e, it's like trying to recuperate energy while driving slowly in a car up a very steep hill. Just releasing the throttle will make you stop quite rapidly...

This is an all too easy narrative. Synthetic fertilisers might simply have caused an arms race for short term, higher efficiency which destroyed less efficient production techniques.

That does not make it long term efficient, see research on sustainable farming[0].

The TPM is not a DRM enforcement mechanism if you set it up for your own use. It is a very useful tool for taking control of machine that you own - it provides a way to prove* to yourself that the system booting with the firmware that you've approved, in the configuration that you setup, and running the kernel and initrd that you've signed. https://safeboot.dev/attestation/#i-thought-remote-attestati...

What I'm argueing in my talk is that it shouldn't be. Odds are your phone does it better :)

Decaping a chip from a lost laptop is far from science fiction and can be performed at a fixed cost. Mitigation is super-cheap... There's just no good reason to store the "final" key on the TPM.

Here I interleave rounds of argon2id (configured with parameters that fit my system: use up all the RAM and all the cores since there's nothing else to do in the initrd) with HMAC rounds from TPM and/or SGX (configured with the right policies so that they rate-limit and only unlock if the PCRs check out).
Yes, because GC is a woefully inefficient memory management strategy.

Rust is not just the future of systems programming -- it's the future of all programming. You may not program directly in Rust the language, but borrow-checked static memory management is coming to an application language near you.
What really doomed it was the proliferation of small airports where large planes can easily land

The way I've heard it expressed is that the commercial aviators are moving away from the hub-and-spoke model: it used to be that there were few long-haul airports in any region, and to get to the smaller airports you'd need to transfer at the hub.

But nowadays it's much more common to fly directly on a regional airport, even for long-haul flights. That means the passenger number per long-haul flight gets smaller (it no longer includes the regional destinations), and the regional airports don't have the size nor the capacity to handle these large planes.

The airlines flying these planes are the ones still using a hub-and-spoke model, like Emirates.
