In theory a smart enough OS (or runtime) should be able to reclaim any memory beyond the stack pointer (plus redzone) at any time without preserving its content and shrink back the stack. Because of signal handlers that memory is to be considered volatile anyway.

It might not be worth doing it in practice, but it is something to keep on mind.

If you put hardware designed to do the job of a terminal on a serial line, you expect software that is supposed to be command line based to just work (according to the issue in the post it doesn't work with the Linux VT console either)

Furthermore according to a similar issue; a contributor shows their hubris of ignoring terminfo.

https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3740

> Serial consoles basically date back to the days of hardware terminals, like a physical DEC VT220, when you could trust the information about columns and rows in the terminfo definition.

Been seeing this for myself recently. I got really depressed continuing to search for answers to questions of why excel instead of stagnating, why work hard instead of slack off, etc.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no answer to these questions (unless you are deeply religious), and that just by doing the former set of things makes us happy, and non-depressed people just do them because it makes them happier.

It reminds me of other compatibility problems over the years like:

1. Microsoft choosing the opposite slash and a different way of doing CLI options via slash vs dash.

2. Windows, Apple, and Linux not agreeing on a good filesystem and method of network access and supporting it together. Incompatibilities have wasted a great deal of time, and it’s unreasonable to think that every IT department will make changes to allow everything to work smoothly.

3. Microsoft Office, Lync, Skype for Business, Remote Desktop, etc. not including 1:1 functionality in the macOS versions of their products. This is evil since the user can’t do things that others can. Similarly, Microsoft changed menus and where things are located between versions. Should a wooden chair be the Mac version of a couch because they’re both butt-compatible? Should marmite be the next version of strawberry jam because they both spread on toast and are tasty?

4. Programming language tools and libraries that favor one OS over another or one well-used database over another.

While supporting compatibility can be a timesuck, here we have fish shell spending the time supporting a minority, which is great.

But large companies, leaders of small well-used projects, and everything in-between are self-sabotaging the future of all life on our planet by wasting others’ time because they want to do their own thing or want to make people not like some other company’s product.

Incompatibility and not working together isn’t healthy competition, beneficial capitalism, or good business. It’s going to kill us.
Agreed.

And I'd also argue that while the dark forest theory is a possibility it tells me more about the author and their culture than an actual plausible reality. As much as humans have been completely horrible to one another in several times of history, it was always because there was "something for us" and there was never a complete wipe out of other groups just because.

But yes, apart from that, the writing is poor, the plot holes abound. Sure, the story has several interesting plot points but it doesn't hold together. And the 2nd book is the worse in my opinion (translation probably didn't help)

> When it comes to buying things I find my satisfaction is much higher when I spend money to remove an irritant rather than get something completely new.

Really true for me as well. I recently bought a new guitar that is fairly similar compared to my old guitar. My old guitar is perfectly fine. The issue is that my old guitar is in a weird tuning since I'm practicing finger style guitar on it. And I hate retuning my guitar to a normal tuning all the time.

I told myself, if I'm still as irritated about this a year from now, I'm buying a new guitar. It's 2 years later and I'm happy I did it.

How big are your datasets? Would the parameters get better if they were bigger, or have they converged to some optimum?

A couple of typos I spotted: "asses", "he final".
I can see your point and agree with it: you can connect hardware that speak serial and use it to connect software that speaks VT220. Looking from this point of view, the hardware and software protocols are correctly assigned, everything is perfectly predictable and normal, and therefore this setup should surprise or astonish no one.

At the same time, I have a different point: this approach is definitely NOT in my personal catalogue of ways in which modern shells are interfaced with nowadays. Using an antique VT220 over a breadboard serial adapter is a unique hack, rather than something used every day, and therefore this setup is perfectly capable of surprising and astonishing people.

For me, the above two points of view don't collide with one another.
Parkland, Florida: 17 people killed by a 19 year old.

Charleston Church: 9 people killed by a 21 year old.

(It would be easier to refute your point if the US bothered to define and then count mass killings, but for some reason they don't)
Actually I have to correct that because the USA is not the worst per capita (my apologies), but it's up there with the top worst (Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia and a bunch of smaller countries) and, of course, more important because of the size of its population (1).

It seems that what it's in dispute is the "not doing so much like other nations". I would say there are two ways to look at it: pledges and historical data.

I don't think is necessary to demonstrate that the USA current pledges are below the Paris agreement countries.

For historical I just will take 2019 that was a specially good year for USA CO2 reductions.

from https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/us-leads-world-reducing-co...

>>"It’s true that, according to the IEA’s February 2020 report, the U.S. achieved a greater absolute reduction in CO2 emissions than any other country, in 2019. However, claims that the U.S. therefore “led the entire world” or was a “global leader” in CO2 emissions were belied by the fact that other countries (including Germany, Japan, and likely others) achieved a superior rate of reduction in CO2 emissions. Although not a country, the European Union achieved both a larger absolute reduction and a greater rate of reduction in CO2 emissions than the US did. "

1) Unfortunately, I will not focus on low-spec machines. The future is high end, and my app will cost money. It's very likely people with low-spec machines won't pay for my app anyway. The main reason for this, however, is that low-spec machines would require me to do optimizations that will don't really matter for decent machines (read: a lot of work, with no ROI).

The least I need is 8GB of RAM with 1 GB of video RAM, even though I recommend 16GB of RAM + 2GB of video RAM

2) I will allow for repeatable tasks to be automated, and I do think I will allow some scripting, even though I will do my best to keep it to minimum.

I think the message of the book is more complex than that. The character who sets up the MAD situation spends half of the book having already given up, before discovering the MAD solution. At the same time, Earth pursues a straightforward military strategy of building a large space fleet to stop the Trisolarians, but are unable to anticipate the aliens' superior technology makes their efforts futile.

Ultimately, Earth sends the MAD signal, and ends up destroyed. The goal of the artificially installed defeatism was to make humanity flee the Earth, and it's only the those who fled the Earth who survive its destruction.
I don't have a ton of experience writing async rust programs, but I can imagine some types of problems which might come up:

- So what if I am implementing a high-throughput, performance critical system which makes heavy use of async, and under certain circumstances the runtime I'm using falls off a performance cliff. It's going to be difficult to diagnose and solve this problem, because the critical path of my program actually winds through a library which is essentially a black box to me.

- What if I have two dependencies, and each one internally depends on a separate async runtime. And what if each of these runtimes is designed with the assumption that it is the main owner of system resources, like threads. There may be conflicts which are very difficult to understand but have effects on the performance of my program.

I think fundamentally, an issue with this type of "middleware" is that by its nature, an async runtime, like Tokio for example, has to be implemented with a lot of assumptions about how "the generic program" should optimally handle async. It may work great for the vast majority of use-cases, but fundamentally whenever you design a super general, abstract system like this you have to make tradeoffs.

In some ways Rust has taken probably the best possible approach to this, by making it modular and allowing you to bring your own runtime, but I think in practice, if the use of async continues to become pervasive in Rust and certain libraries get locked into certain ecosystems, it will not be so easy in practice to take advantage of that modularity.

I'd like to agree here, but I also find myself liking the fact that Docs has the "Viewing", "Suggesting" and "Editing" personas available for use. These options are intended to mirror Word's review features, but it also fits the idea of a "Start Editing" button, in my opinion.

There's times where I really like editing right away, but also being sure that I won't do any accidental edits. So yeah, I definitely agree that accidental edits are at the root of the problem for this.

> A few years ago, you used the "hyper" crate, which was a convenient wrapper around the "http" crate. Now, you're supposed to use "reqwest", which is a convenient wrapper around the "hyper" crate.

That's not right. http is supposed to be a common library of types for HTTP servers and frameworks (although developers of some competing frameworks have rejected it). It was never an HTTP client like make it sound like, and it's actually newer than hyper.

As for reqwest vs. hyper, the former offers synchronous wrappers over the async ones, easier TLS support and other niceties (compression, proxy support, cookies, WASM). It's high-level and easier to use, somewhat like requests over urllib3 in the Python world.

I addressed this quite clearly:

If you're not generally at risk of experiencing racism (ie. you are of the majority ethnic group), of course it is easy to rule out. It's hardly a glass half empty/half full type of problem.

A glass half empty/half full metaphor implies that the perception is simply down to personal optimism, which as I said, is clearly a gross oversimplification.
