I'm reminded of The Good Place's Chidi. If you go down this route, you're likely to become paralyzed as you consider all the possible ways you might be harming others.

If the only factor in the energy consumption of a program was the efficiency of the code, then maybe. But different languages have different development and maintenance costs as well (both in terms of human and computer time). Different design decisions as well.

Hand-tuned assembler with mostly static bounds on memory consumption could lead to much more efficient executables (in terms of raw cycles). And compilation would be a relatively simple translation step, much faster than compiling every other language. But at a severe cost of often non-reusable code (so more time is spent writing the same things over and over), more time debugging the code (unless you're really good at assembly or working on small programs).

At a minimum we could consider a "simpler" (by various measures) language like Pascal or C where it's relatively straightforward to reuse code, and compilation isn't as time consuming and can be fairly well optimized. But then we have to remember, there are reasons other languages are made. Usually having to do with programming ergonomics for particular problem domains. Then you build your Datalog or SQL interpreter on top of one of these languages and we're back to something "inefficient" (not fully optimized).

And on this goes. We could ask much better questions like: Is most code worth writing/running? Should we have several of the biggest tech companies in the US be, fundamentally, advertising companies? They produce and promote much more energy waste with their software than any programmer's inefficient code is going to produce.

there are trustless mixer networks[1]. The bigger problem is that you're going to run out of liquidity. You preferably want to exchange 1B of "dirty" bitcoin for 1B of "clean" bitcoin, not tumble the 1B of bitcoin and get back the same dirty coins.

Partially. The other reason is simply to remove clutter in UI.

You can get more tracks to appear if you change Netflix UI language in settings, as described here in 2015 by Netflix CPO: https://www.quora.com/Why-arent-all-subtitles-available-in-a...

This is also mentioned in various Netflix help pages, like here, which says 5-7 subtitle languages are shown by default, and you need to change UI language to see the rest: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/13245

Kettle Lead Data Scientist – Remote
Kettle's mission is to balance risk in a changing climate. Kettle uses deep learning and proprietary algorithms to reshape the reinsurance industry and better protect people from the growing risks associated with climate change. Kettle’s first product protects Californians’ businesses, homes, and livelihoods with wildfire reinsurance. To learn more, visit ourkettle.com

You probably have never heard of the $300bn reinsurance industry, but it is the single most important industry in the world to protect ourselves and help society recover from the effects of climate change disasters. This industry is failing due to a 3x increase in $1B+ crises caused by climate change. Kettle’s aim is to use deep learning to ensure that people’s lives are not destroyed when these events happen. By building the most sophisticated machine learning models to predict when and where wildfires happen, Kettle accurately prices the cost of covering wildfire prone areas in California. We are a machine-learning-powered reinsurer, in that we sell reinsurance to insurers, we don't sell software to reinsurers.

I would be much more likely to buy a car from an overreaching data-hungry corporation if I could turn it off.

or just be able to say no.

these company fear the data loss, but honestly I think most people will leave it going.

This would also promote competition or new sources of data.

What if startup automobile tech companies or mapping companies could offer you money for your video feed or navigation data?

Or you could give it all to open street maps or new things like open traffic or open weather or whatever.

It could - at your discretion - democratize the mobile data your car collects.

Yes, there are many known carcinogens, however age is the largest risk factor: almost 90% of cancer patients are over the age of 50, and 50% are over 70! Preventing the core pathology of aging itself would of course not prevent all illness (even young people get sick), but it would eliminate an enormous amount of the disease burden we face.
Exactly my point. We want to reduce the taxpayer burden of prison, but still keep the streets safe. House arrest is a way to build a cheaper AND more humane prison, and one that is also much better for rehabilitation and access to education and employment.

The premise of Dark is that we can remove a huge amount of accidental complexity by having an integrated toolkit of language, editor, and infrastructure. This allows for three major steps forward:

- we're able to deploy (safely!) in 50ms rather than minutes because of it. [1]

- we completely host the infra and you don't need to think about it (including DBs and queues, which are nicely integrated into the language) [2]

- trace driven development, where we use real values from production and show you them in your editor [2]

I think for people used to garbage collection, going to a non-gc ecosystem seems to be a big jump, akin to switching from an imperative to a functional language or from a dynamic to a statically typed language.

Articles like this one make me think that maybe the Rust community should develop more resources to help people make this jump because the language is more likely to attract people with this background than other non-GC languages that are typically seen as lower level and relegated to high performance applications.

I'm very anti-GC myself: I think the pros don't outweigh the cons in the overwhelming majority of the cases, they hide a complexity that you'll have to deal with eventually if you ever need to optimize your memory consumption and they encourage sloppy coding by not forcing you to think about ownership relations in your program's data.

Having this debate over the years (often here on HN) I notice that the GC-fans tend to fall in two groups: those who really understand the tradeoffs and, unlike me, really think that GCs are worth it and those who simply have never really used languages with manual memory management - or not for very long - and seem to base their dislike of them on a lack of comprehension, cargo culting and associating it with C-style memory management where tracking memory allocations and frees adds a true cognitive overhead (unlike languages like C++ or Rust where usually RAII will take care of it 99% of the time).

I realize that I'm building a strawman here, but when I see the way the author talks about memory management (and how much they hate it) I can't help thinking that they're Doing It Wrong:

>I was actually surprised at how little the actual memory management bothered me. I'm a big believer in garbage collection, and not having to think about memory, so I expected to hate this part of Rust, but it turns out it's kinda OK. You put everything in a Box::new (regular heap memory) or RC::new (reference counted memory) or Arc::new (reference counted memory suitable to be used concurrently in different threads), and then when they go out of scope they'll be cleaned up.

See, here's the problem. You don't like to think about memory management and ownership, so you think "oh, I'm just going to put everything in a Box/Rc". Spoiler alert: (A)Rc is garbage collection, it's just a very simplistic one. You haven't switched from GC to manual memory management, you've reimplemented a lousy GC in Rust and, unsurprisingly, it fails to compete with the good GCs of the languages you're used to.

It's like when I started using Python and I naively tried to do RAII with destructors, only to realize that it's a very bad idea because you never know when the destructor is going to run in such a language.

I'm currently implementing a rather asynchronous multicast Rust applications where I have 3 threads processing messages and passing them around to deal with retransmits, packet reconstruction etc... I have one(1) Arc, zero Rc and one(1) Box in the entire codebase (and I intend to get rid of this Box soon).
Can’t you argue that they have no way to know whether the other links are also infringing or whether those other users have a legitimate license for the content?

Let’s say I buy and losslessly rip a DVD and upload it to Megaupload as a backup or to have access to it on the go. I don’t share the link with anyone and thus don’t infringe on the copyright by redistributing the content publicly.

Now someone else buys the same DVD, rips it the same way and ends up with the exact same file (so their link actually points to my file because of deduplication), however they then decide to infringe on the copyright by distributing the link publicly.

Their link should indeed be disabled, but the original file should stay (with its other links) as there is no way to tell whether those other links are used legitimately.

If you don't do embedded programming (where you shouldn't do dynamic memory allocation anyway, being that with or without a GC) memory is often not a constraint at all. And in a lot of situation it cost you less to increase the RAM (if you can) than optimizing the code.

> when you cross the line, good luck

And if you never cross the line? You wasted thousands of dollars for developing something in Rust that you could have written in Python in 1/4 of the time and be fine.

To me the job of the programmer is not to reason about memory. The job of the programmer is to reason about algorithms, data structures, and thus a language that abstracts the memory management is better if you can afford it. It has a cost, sure like it has a cost using C instead of assembly.

The northern counties are mostly wilderness, with sparse population and government. Let's be real, anywhere is closer to authoritarian by comparison, but it doesn't make the latter authoritarian.

Just because Portland has zoning laws and historic districts doesn't make it authoritarian. I'd argue Portland is pretty minimally restricted compared to any other US city. Besides not being able to shoot guns in the middle of the old port, and having some red tape preventing you from knocking down the west end to build steel and glass buildings, I'm curious what is remotely authoritarian about the place.

Then again, I'm from a bit south of Portland (and originally from away, which Mainers seem to care about in perpetuity), and moved away to SF a couple years back. My perspective could just be off?

> =m means it's a loadable module (but still takes up some kernel memory and more on disk as a .ko)

Loadable modules are not present in memory, in any form, until they are loaded. Building them has no impact on kernel memory usage.

(Consider that it's possible to build the kernel with all the modules set to "n", then switch the modules to "m" and build them afterwards. The resulting kernel is identical, save for having a slightly different embedded .config.)
