It was sillier when people were complaining about the wastefulness of the original AirPods. The real crime there was the fact that you spent $150 on something that only lasts a few years. As far as waste goes, I think two 20 oz soda bottles contribute more to waste than a pair of tiny wireless earbuds, and those only get used for an hour before being discarded.
Oh, also this one is maybe a midpoint between the two in interestingness.

My main (wired) headphones are 15 years old now, with zero degradation. My headphone amp, turntable, and CD player are roughly the same age or older. I have no plans to get rid of them anytime soon. My parents haven't passed any down to me, mostly because they're still alive and using their own stuff, but my dad listens to music on speakers he bought in the early 70s. (I don't think my grandparents were ever serious about HiFi equipment, so nothing really to pass down. Half of them are also still alive.)

For systemd the consensus seems to be that's it's better than the previous init systems as most distributions have adopted it.

I think the parent comment was alluding to the fact that RedHat has the ability to manufacture consensus. All the distributions use systemd (and pulseaudio and ...) because GNOME and other core components were modified to work only with systemd. So everyone agreed to use RedHat's way because there was no other way. No matter how good RH's creations might be, that's the kind of tail-wagging-the-dog power that is bad for an ecosystem.

I'm not talking about parallel decode. I'm talking about the fetchers feeding the decoders. How does the fetcher know where the instruction boundaries are if you have variable-length instructions? My understanding is that x86 is the worst here - while x86 gets broken down into RISC-like uops so the overall x86 hit isn't large, the fetcher is extremely complex & slow to try to get back some parallelism that x86 encoding loses. The compressed version of these instructions seems similarly complicated since the length of the instruction is dependent on the data operands to the instruction.

Can you help me correct my understanding of the situation if that's where I'm wrong or what additional details I may be missing? I'm not a CPU architecture expert by any means - just an enthusiast.

The war is happening in the Russian speaking part of Ukraine. To that point I'll put everything I have and double down with debt that a westerner would not be able to tell which folks are "Russian" and which are "Ukrainian" in this conflict.

Civilians are getting the brunt of it on both sides. Don't think for a second that Ukrainian forces avoid hitting civilian targets in some display of galantry. It's a brotherly war and nobody wants it.
Agreed. Only Software Architects have the special ability of naming things. Engineers and managers don't have this special knowledge.

When I went to Standford to get my PhD is Software Architecture I was required to take at least 2 semesters of classes on the theory of naming things in software. The biggest point the class made was proving mathematically how one should never name anything after a plant, Greek/Roman god, gemstone, animal or molecular structure.
You somehow think that someone who’s done you a favor (by providing you with useful software for free) owes you more than someone who’s done nothing for you at all. That’s exactly backwards. You are obliged to them!

I struggle to express how strongly disagree. This is like saying that someone who gives away a 3D printer on freecycle is then obliged to help you fix any problems with it.
I was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal around 2000±a year or so about Wingdings when there was a moral panic about what happened if you typed NYC in the wingdings font (I was editing a typography magazine at the time which is how the reporter found me). I patiently explained that the arrangement of characters in dingbat fonts is generally arbitrary with patterns generally dictated by character code more than anything else and that as someone who knew Chuck Bigelow and Kris Holmes, I could vouch that they were not, in fact, anti-semites.
Me, I'm ready for Risc6. Fewer CAPS, more value.

Goal is to be just close enough to RISC-V to get benefit of work on it, but leave behind the design errors, so formal verification and compiler targeting can be ported with minimal effort. Credible lists of RISC-V design errors have been published.

I really don't understand what you mean. A beginner should be able to sit in front of the linux machine and just understand everything without needing to do any background reading?

And to what level does that apply? Should the user understand everything? Also why is a directory system of /Firefox /Chrome /Gimp ... easier? Where do libraries sit in this system (is that easy to understand?)? How do I determine if I build something what library I'm going to use ...

I think the perception of a certain way being easier is largely based on what one is used to.

I certainly am always lost when I sit in front of a windows machine. Just the other day I was trying to get ctypes to find a library and ended up just ending lots of things to LIB or PATH (I'm sure there are better way to do things). BTW I was asked by a windows user for help. This is not a dig at windows, just my argument that filesystem layouts are largely conventions (even though often for good reasons) and yes one has to invest some time to understand them.

Edit:
For someone who wants to understand how Linux works and many things work together I highly recommend giving linux from scratch a try. Most people fall into the trap of just copy pasting the commands (I was one of them as well), so you probably want to build a couple of times, and try to update your system. Hopefully you run into a couple of roadblocks, which force you to thing a bit more about what you are doing and is were the learning experience comes from IMO.
> I meant that this doesn't seem to be an announcement of a new open source repo.

I agree that the presentation is a bit confusing. It feels as though the audience are in directorship/VP roles, but the .dev TLD is usually oriented towards folks in the trenches. I think the idea was to distinguish the general idea (tamper-evident logs) from the specific implementation (Trillian). I already knew about Trillian and found myself unsure as to whether it was about Trillian or not.

> Depending on how you define it, everyone who publishes source code using git is already using these ideas. It seems they are all Merkle trees?

Merkle trees have been around for a smidge over 40 years. I don't think their claim is to have invented a new data structure, but rather that they provide a smooth way to apply Merkle trees to log-structured and map-structured problems.

> If you can download the whole dataset (like with git) and you are making manual edits and sending pull requests, then Dolt's approach sounds more user-friendly? You get a change history, and if upstream rebases then you will see it.

The orientation to logs here suggests that they're not very interested in forking or merging. Added to which, there's no sense in which the subject of discourse is snapshots to which one can apply deltas to emit a successor snapshot.

I believe the idea is to ensure that a particular sequence of events occurred, that it occurred in a particular order, that no entries were inserted, deleted or modified without being detected. In git I believe the closest analogy would be the reflog.
Interesting how Unix/Linux knowledge stays relevant for so long. It feels like a lot of tech knowledge today gets obsolete every few years.

It's for contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes. It's more of a CalDAV/CardDAV replacement with end-to-end encryption than a Nextcloud replacement, which AFAIK doesn't have E2EE for syncing these bits.

Also, as it doesn't directly use CalDAV/CardDAV it depends on a client app. At least on Android, the app syncs to the system calendar/contacts so it works just as seamlessly as Nextcloud's recommendation of DAVx5 or any other contacts/calendar/tasks service in that you can access the data from any standard calendar or contacts application.

> "Borris Johnson himself said he was too obese and vowed to make changes, yet they never materialized. Why are we so scared to experiment?"

There are hundreds of millions of people in the USA and UK who are overweight, and another hundred million who aren't. From those kind of numbers you ought to be able to produce at least a couple of million people who dieted, exercised, lost weight, and kept it off long term. Where are they? There are decades of things like Weight Watchers and Slim Fast, there ought to be well-honed methods that work and studies of successes, Weight Watchers crows about a 5% weight loss. That's 300lbs down to 285lbs.

"Fat is officially incurable" - https://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/fat-officially-incurable... - basically anyone who loses weight, regains it. The very few who don't turn it into an obsession, or have surgery.

Well, studies show that in parts of the country where physical activity increased, so did obesity. (Note: People who exercise tend to eat more.) Oh, and your "lazy" Western lifestyle burns the same amount of energy as that of your hunter-gatherer ancestors.".

Is that the truth or did you just make it up because it sounds simple and makes you feel morally superior?

The UK has gone from almost no wind electricity generation to 30% and peaking over 50%.

Define? This is suspiciously similar to the "HuMaNs ArE A CanCer" nihilist nonsense that somehow vaguely classifies humans as "outside nature" and therefore that things which benefit humans are "bad" and things which hurt humans are "good" for nature. Humans are nature.

> "We're still having far, far too many children who just consume for their entire lives and input/provide nothing of value back,"

What value are buffalo providing back? What value are plants providing back? What value are whales providing back?

That should please you, Mars seems to be your dreamworld - it's cold and there are no humans and no landfill, and that's apparently everything you care about.

No, it's not.

One is used a vast majority of the time to mean “that is” and occasionally, by different people, to mean “for example”.

One is used a vast majority of the time to mean “for example” and occasionally, by different people, to mean “that is”.

Neither group (not the one with the dominant understanding nor the one with the minority understanding) uses the terms interchangeably, they both use them with distinct meanings.

The existence of some confusion of meaning and minority usages resulting from that does not eliminate all distinction in meaning, even from a descriptivist standpoint.

It's true that “X means Y” is usually a simplification of a distribution to a modal value, but that's also widely recognized and, from a descriptivist standpoint, already incorporated into the meaning of the phrase.

My address of it is that things don't separate to distinct things, often. They, instead, made new forms that have their functions. Or vice versa, if you want.

This is true for content as much as services. In simplistic cases, you can point at something and say "there is the content." Often, though, you cannot. The distinction between the two is a huge blur.

You are bringing up, essentially, that abstractions can be layered. I agree with that, with each layer having is own forms for its functions.

Applied to the example here. I am not saying they are identical. I'm saying that they are best considered together. Such that our industry typically passes the buck on UI and UX, to the detriment of everything.

One pain point with Prometheus is that is has relatively weak support for quantiles, histograms, and sets[1]:

- Histograms require manually specifying the distribution of your data, which is time-consuming, lossy, and can introduce significant error bands around your quantile estimates.

- Quantiles calculated via the Prometheus "summary" feature are specific to a given host, and not aggregatable, which is almost never what you want (you normally want to see e.g. the 95th percentile value of request latency for all servers of a given type, or all servers within a region). Quantiles can be calculated from histograms instead, but that requires a well-specified histogram and can be expensive at query time.

- As far as I know, Prometheus doesn't have any explicit support for unique sets. You can compute this at query time, but persisting and then querying high-cardinality data in this way is expensive.

Understanding the distribution of your data (rather than just averages) is arguably the most important feature you want from a monitoring dashboard, so the weak support for quantiles is very limiting.

Veneur[2] addresses these use-cases for applications that use DogStatsD[3] by using clever data structures for approximate histograms[4] and approximate sets[5], but I believe its integration with Prometheus is limited and currently only one-way - there is a CLI app to poll Prometheus metrics and push them into Veneur[6], but there's no output sink for Veneur to write to Prometheus (or expose metrics for a Prometheus instance to poll), and you aren't able to use the approximate histogram or approximate set datatypes if you go that route, because they can't be expressed as Prometheus metrics.

It would be extremely useful to have something similar for Prometheus, either by integrating with Veneur or implementing those data structures as an extension to Prometheus.
