Even when the costs don't matter to an individual with insurance (though they usually do because most insurance is not all you can eat) they affect the overall quality of the whole system. For example, the U.S. delivers less care for more money overall than other nations because insurance companies, corporate hospitals, pharmaceuticals and care givers are largely not controlled in rent seeking behavior.

This means a greater share of GDP goes to pay for worse health outcomes. The cost of that lost GDP is measure in opportunity costs. That is GDP that could go to education, infrastructure, social programs or simply more savings for the median citizen.
About 15 years ago a friend of mine, who's a physical therapist originally from Canada working in the US, made an interesting observation.

In Canada, MRI machines were available only at a few major hospitals. It took months to wait to use one. In Chicago, where we were living at the time, she said it seemed as if there were an MRI machine on every block.

I think the situation is different now, but I think the observation is quite telling.
This way of looking at it takes all the theology out of the issue. That's fine by me, so long as this isn't the motte position in a motte-and-bailey argument.

Sure, and then you run your app and find out that the app displays differently in each engine, so not only you need portable system lib, now you also need portable UI code. That's what we avoid with bundling the web engine.
Yes, it can be solved with community actions: the community can start using something like PeerTube to distribute their content instead of relying on centralised behemoths like Youtube. The value of Youtube lies in the content which its users upload, if you have something worth sharing on there you can also share it elsewhere. Begin by having content both on Youtube as well as PeerTube and point those who are annoyed by Youtube-ads to the ad-free PeerTube instance. Youtube will eventually change its terms and conditions so as to forbid pointing users to alternative distribution channels so the sooner you set up those alternatives and start pointing your viewers there the bigger chance you have of spreading the word. Replace the lost income from Youtube with one of the many sponsoring services, this will aid in becoming less dependent on Youtube. Once the PeerTube channel has gained traction you can put a moratorium on your Youtube presence. Keep to this and, once you are close to the end, replace old content with short trailers which point viewers to the new site. Continue publishing on the new site, if you want you can put trailers on Youtube but it is probably better to refrain from doing so as this might end up annoying viewers. Just leave a message on your channel about the move and keep it at that. Assuming that your content is worthwhile to viewers they will follow you.

There's another consideration: for a VIPT cache (which is usually the case for the L1 cache), the page size limits the cache size, since it can only be indexed by the bits which are not translated. For legacy reasons, the base page size on x86 is always 4096 bytes, so an 8-way VIPT cache is limited to 32768 bytes (and adding more ways is costly). On 64-bit ARM, the page size can be either 4K, 16K, or 64K, with the later being required to reach the maximum amount of physical memory, and since it has been that way since the beginning, AFAIK it's common for 64-bit ARM software to be ready for any of these three page sizes.

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that Apple uses the 16K page size, which if they use an 8-way VIPT L1 cache would limit their L1 cache size to 128K.

I hate these random 'anecdotes' because guess what; the mouse and scaling work on my Linux box out of the box too and I get to own my machine and not deal with Windows adware or Apple trying to scare me from running what I want and lock everything down.

But I guess not being able to launch any non-Apple app because Apple's servers are overloaded counts as zero hassle to you.
And a pleasant one. Google Voice has actually been updated regularly and allows you to search your messages and delete individual messages. Neither of these were possible with Hangouts.
"[M]ore efficient and transparent" are at odds with each other. Transparency requires more process and scrutiny and inspection; more of these things increases project risk because bidders need to invest more money in getting the bid, and that increased risk is amortized across successful projects. It also has the effect of favouring entrenched interests and existing players because 1) they know the process, and 2) have the capital to endure longer lead time in sales.
This has been my experience as well.

The complaints I frequently hear from Americans regarding 'socialized healthcare' never ring true based on my experience in countries like the UK or Australia.

It'd be interesting if there was somewhere to read about such companies.

They might never realize why things didn't go their way, and blame other things instead
As a Canadian living in the US, I have to disagree.

The fact that 27 million people (1) live in the US without health insurance alone is a big enough reason to know that that US system is not working. People should not die or go bankrupt due to not having insurance.

The current system might work for the rich and privileged but that is not good enough.

I totally agree. The amount of times I’ve been able to craft a more insightful question about someone’s culture or work because of something I’d read prior has almost certainly got to be up there.

And the amount of the times I’ve been able to produce interesting insight on a topic as well.

It seems odd to treat people differently based on what you vs they know, with the exception of maybe I’d be concerned if say my heart doctor didn’t know about arteries or something.
This "France is looking to reduce their dependence on nuclear energy" statement can get dicey because of different contexts that it is used. So I apologize if I am responding to a context you aren't implying. It is often used as "look, even France doesn't want nuclear!" which frankly just isn't true.

We have to look at France and how much carbon it produces. Right now it is one of the lowest producers in Europe. Let's look at the electricity map[0]. Sweden, Norway, and France are leagues ahead of others in terms of carbon emissions. France's plan is first to replace existing natural gas, biomass, and coal with renewable resources. The second part of the equation is that their reactors are reaching EOL, so do you build more or replace them? If you pay attention to energy trends solar and wind (something France has an abundance of) is getting much cheaper and battery storage is getting cheaper (France doesn't have to bet as much on battery storage since they can over produce and sell excess energy, which they currently do a fair amount of). So if you're going to take bets this is still a good bet. A big part of a good and stable power grid is by having a diversification of energy resources. 75% of your energy being dependent upon one resource is not a good idea. No matter the resource. Even 50% is high, but acceptable. They aren't planning from going away from reactors, there's even one under development. But you also want to hedge your bets. If any of these factors (solar, wind, battery storage, smart grids, ITER, etc) don't pay off, then they need to maintain their nuclear grid. It would take a large revolution in energy development for France to be able to still produce so little carbon and provide its citizens with a modernized (electrified) country.

Also consider that France doesn't have good access to hydro like Norway and Sweden do so its options for clean energy are nuclear, solar, and wind (lots!). They should, and are planning on, using a diversification of these. Nuclear provides a strong baseload and the others supplement. You may notice that this is a key argument made by many proponents of nuclear. Anyone that says the grid should be entirely nuclear is an armchair scientist who understands very little about nuclear or the climate. But the same is true for those that think we can solve the issue with just solar and wind.

So if you're saying France is turning away from nuclear, then this is adding desires into a plan that does not express or concern itself with those desires. A big part of this decision is about diversification and increasing energy independence (just like recycling fuel is a big part of their energy independence, which they power a whopping 17% of their grid with recycled nuclear alone).

If you support a system with moderation (censorship) based on peoples beliefs, then you should not complain when the system you supported is used (with one tiny variable changed - belief).

It's like supporting (eg.) warrantless surveilance (because pedos and terrorists), and then complaining when it's used against you. You supported the system, now shut up and deal with it.

The adjective has a lot of meanings, nothing I'd call a void.

> More common, especially in the West, are those who see it as a socially progressive trend of thought that affirms the power of human beings to create, improve and reshape their environment with the aid of practical experimentation, scientific knowledge, or technology. From this perspective, modernism encouraged the re-examination of every aspect of existence, from commerce to philosophy, with the goal of finding that which was 'holding back' progress, and replacing it with new ways of reaching the same end.

Seems applicable to "modern, readable syntax". It means not afraid to buck what people are used to if there's a better way to do it.

Can't believe Sega had a VR Headset in 1993 and for only $200, it's a bit sad they couldn't get it out there.

I believe VR is coming very close to going main stream, probably in less than 5 years from now. Oculus Quest 2 is IMO by far the best overall VR device ever, and things will only improve from here. That's why I've recently made a career change to work full time on VR application development, I truly think this is the next big computing platform.

Yeah you nailed the reason that I still use them as my primary number. The problem is who knows if they will kill voice. It just seems random when they decide to kill products. I imagine that they have some kind of scorecard for apps, but it's a precarious place to be that your primary number sits with a product that could be killed on a whim. I agree with you, I would pay in a heartbeat for a service that I knew was going to stick around.

I find the podman integrates with systemd well claims a bit dubious.

Last time I checked both podman and CRI-O double fork and have reimplemented process supervision from scratch (through conmon) whilst they could get all those features for free if they didn't daemonize themselves and let systemd handle running things in the background and do the process supervision.

I found this very surprising. I still don't understand why they made that choice.
So run it as root then? Am I missing something?
> Its a commonly understood term AFAIK

I agree - it's what made me raise an eyebrow... However, based on their comment above, the lead author of Nbdev believes to have coined the term.

My opinion is that due diligence and attribution are important. If I believed I'd coined a new term, I'd check first. Mistakes are easy to make, but when highlighted, perhaps corrections are more appropriate than negotiating with the person highlighting them:

From the lead author (jph00):
... If someone else can think of a better term that's never been used before, then I'll happily use that instead.

processor they shipped in the DTK. It also depends on Go.

Apple did have prerelease hardware that supported virtualization, which they supplied to Parallels. Docker has not worked with this hardware based on their press release and GitHub issue [1][2], although they may have received some specs. In any case, Docker depends on Golang with won't release until February.

If Apple did make Docker a priority (which you'd expect given the namedrop at WWDC), this seems quite strange to me.

> Go isn't available because porting languages to a new processor is non-trivial.

I'm sorry, I don't buy this at face value for Go and Rust. I believe these teams could support a new architecture very well very quickly with the right tools and support, like how their stuff also runs on weird things like S390. They show day in day out their stuff is very flexible. By no means do I want to suggest it's a trivial matter, but these toolchains are made to be portable and currently support both much more exotic and very similar systems to aarch64 macOS at the same time - like x86-64 macOS and arm64 iOS. Rust's current bottleneck may be due to CI sure, but then the question becomes why weren't DTKs used for CI?

It seems that if Rust and Go developers were approached with the right tools and support, they wouldn't have had to figure things out now. Is it that bad that they have to figure things out now? Not really - but I do think it could have been avoided, and we wouldn't have had to wait for a golang release in February and a Docker release after that.
> Admittedly, that's because I am of the 80 percent of people who get decent health coverage via my employer

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you want to take 12 months off work so you can spend time with your kids, learn a language or just some personal time?

Have you looked into how quickly your insurance would drop you if you developed a serious illness, or suffered a major auto-crash with extremely expensive and life-altering medical conditions?

Tying ones health to their employment is barbaric, and as someone that has never suffered such a fate, I consider it the next step up from slavery.

i.e.

Slaves - work or you don't eat/live.

US heath insurance - work or you get bankruptingly-expensive healthcare.

(Rest of the developed world) - work or not, healthcare is for everyone.
Interestingly, the scala language previously supported either => or ⇒ and deprecated the Unicode character in favor of instructing developers to use ligatures for that aesthetic effect.

Pre-deprecation, there were formatters which would replace the two characters with the single unicode character if you wanted. If you use a language which supports unicode function names and operator overloading, you could easily add support for your unicode comparison operators.
Way to needlessly misrepresent the argument.

The article talks about modern designs. It is an aspiration, not an assumption. The central argument is that adopting modern reactor designs eliminates meltdown concerns (in addition to reducing costs as the article suggests). That isn't an assumption, that is a suggestion.

Yeah, I've started to migrate to the habit of using Boolean(expr) instead of !!expr simply because it is explicit about intent. I've seen projects with that as a tslint/eslint rule to never allow !! and instead it suggests Boolean() and I haven't quite done that in my own projects, but have considered it.

Even this charitable interpretation doesn't make much sense: The only thing "atheists" have in common is that they have a lack of belief – we have no idea what they actually DO believe (people come with various philosophical persuasions, after all).

The other way you propose of defining religions is so general and vague that it borders on meaningless, and doesn't deal with the fact that different people have different questions, formulated differently, using different assumptions and caring about the answers to different extents.

At least they do play nice with the whole "systemd owns the Cgroups tree" story. A thing that was always a bit painful with docker.
