>Why are people so comfortable with billionaires telling them how to live?

Has it occurred to you that billionaires can be using their resource for good? In your cynical world nothing can ever get done because ordinary people don't have the resources to do good, and the people who are resourced and want to do good are shooed away because people like you
>But it's not carbon neutral

I think people are confused about what carbon neutral means, in a deep philosophical sense. It's a property of a list of numbers you add up. It's not a property of each of those items individually.

It's like profitability, whether something is profitable depends on what is under the umbrella. Berkshire Hathaway can be profitable while one business is making a lot of money and another is losing a lot. But, say, Mens Wearhouse, couldn't deal with covid, because it didn't have, like, a videoconferencing unit.

Because the issue is global climate change, caused by global CO2 levels, it makes no sense to talk about minute units of energy usage being neutral or not. It really feeds into the right wing trope about climate change being a religion, in my opinion. The idea that every facet of life should have equal carbon intensity is nutty.

That only works if your frame for literally everything is racism.

Kaepernick kneeling during the pledge of allegiance can only parse as an antiracist gesture if the thing being disrespected (flag/country) is presumed to be intrinsically racist, i.e. it's accusing the whole country of racism. There are a lot of non-racist patriots who would take offense to that. The answer still shouldn't be censorship, but calling any opposition racism is accepting the very premise that the people opposed to the gesture are opposing it over.

Moreover, the implication that everyone who has been canceled was a racist is contrary to evidence unless you're making some heavy tribalist assumptions about anything vaguely conservative automatically implying racism.

And you're still not addressing the original point, which was that the left going around canceling people over speech is inconsistent with freedom of speech. Nothing anyone on the right does can make that untrue.

> I also review my bills every month, which would have mitigated this issue significantly.

A cursory look would've been enough, really. If this would have been 20$ or so, I would not fault anyone for missing it. But 800$ missing every month should definitely get some attention, especially when these are amounts endangering your ability to stay afloat, as the author seems to argue.
You seem to be set on your worldview, but

> There is no such place

Not really, there is very little ability or willingness of any government to control what a single individual might do in wastelands like deserts or Antarctica

> Government is and always has been the principal enabler of every single genocide, war, and mass atrocity in history.

And assuming you are right, they are also the principal protector of property and capital. Who would you rather protect the food that you depend on while it is being grown by a farmer in a field from opportunistic hungry thieves, if not mercenaries, an if the latter, from the mercenaries themselves? I believe government meeting these basic needs are so much a better good than the alternative that it more than balances out the occasional genocide, war, and mass atrocity.
I had a brush with category theory more than forty years ago. I got a master’s degree in math at the University of Chicago in 1980, Saunders Mac Lane was on the faculty, a few grad students were doing category theory, and I worked through part of Mac Lane’s Categories for the Working Mathematician on my own. I left mathematics soon after—with some regret—and haven’t kept up with the field. The interview with Emily Riehl and the introduction (which I read just now) to her book Category Theory in Context suggest that the field has made a lot of advances in the years since.

I have a question for people who are familiar with recent developments. Forty years ago, the opinions of other math grad students about category theory were divided. Some thought it had the potential to yield great breakthroughs and solve previously unsolved problems in many branches of mathematics. Others thought it was pretty and useful for identifying similar structures in different fields but wasn’t much use for making significant new mathematical discoveries. A sentence in Emily Riehl’s book—“The category-theoretic perspective can function as a simplifying abstraction, isolating propositions that hold for formal reasons from those whose proofs require techniques particular to a given mathematical discipline”—seems to align with the latter opinion.

What has in fact happened in recent decades? Has category theory turned out to be mainly a “simplifying abstraction” as well as an interesting branch of mathematics in its own right? Or has it been used to prove meaty new results in other fields as well?
possibly yes due to how it now sits closer to the cpu and other components. Utilization is also different.

You can’t just change the words and intent of a joke and use that to argue against the original joke. Of course whether a joke is funny depends on the audience’s point of view.. that’s comedy 101.

What the author was saying really isn’t very contentious if you stop and think about it. Mobile games are a time sink and are often used as a distraction from stressful thoughts. The same is true for other video games, but the author’s view on that isn’t mentioned.

If you think that every humorous statement has to be so clean and pure that nobody takes offense, the I hope you like dad jokes, because that’s about all that’d be left.
Rent a VPS.

Then rent a dedicated server when you outgrow it.

Whatever you design will be platform agnostic. You’ll be able to decide for yourself when you get big enough what’s the right path for hosting. You won’t be locked in to any particular platform.

Install something like dokku. Use Docker containers.

My startup scaled to $2M ARR on a single dedicated server for our core infrastructure. (Yes, that’s a bit extreme)

Now we have over 30 dedicated servers servicing our core infra, many of which live in a colo rack in Dallas.

Everyone is all about ‘the cloud’ - however IMHO it’s overly complicated and a distraction to start, and overly expensive as you scale. (AWS would be 16x more expensive for us than our colo setup)

Vultr, DigitalOcean, Linode... are all fine for getting started. Many even have programs where startups can get free credits: https://www.digitalocean.com/hatch/

When you grow checkout some Dedicated Hosting providers like Hivelocity, or checkout webhostingtalk’a dedicated offers forum.

Put cloudflare infront of your service for some protection and lots of options/flexibility.
Backup offsite. S3 is fine to start. Can get expensive. Look to back blaze B2, or c14 from scaleway.

> If we are defining "lie" to mean "simplifying the model to allow students to understand what's going on" (which is what we're talking about)

No, it isn't what we're talking about. We're talking about making categorical statements that are false. Telling students that you're teaching them a simplified model and there are complications that will be added back later is not lying. But telling them categorically that the simplified model is true and not even talking about the fact that it's a simplified model and there are complications being left out, is lying. And the latter is what the posters I've been responding to are attempting to defend.

> I think there's also a limit to how many times you can say "this is simplified" to students before they feel like they're being pandered to

I have never said that is necessary. Of course it's not. Once you've explained at the outset that you're teaching them a simplified model and there are complications being left out, obviously you're not going to repeat it with every single sentence. Any more than the people who are advocating telling students categorically "multiplication is repeated addition" with no mention of all the complexities lurking underneath are advocating repeating that with every single sentence.

> or that they're being told they're "not smart enough to understand the full theory"

I have never said they should be told that. Teaching the simplified model could be due to nothing more than limited teacher time and knowledge. There's nothing wrong with the teacher honestly telling the students that. Bonus points for encouraging them to investigate further on their own if they're interested.
If you use the normal toolchains for C vs another language, the other language still can be faster because it can dynamically generate bytecode based on runtime information. In the normal C toolchain, this is not possible.

However, if you used an alterative toolchain that could also generate bytecode from C at runtime, then I would bet that C would stay on top or be equal.

> ISO-C11 specifies 203 circumstances that cause undefined behaviors.

203 is enough to make almost every line of code questionable. The result of this is that looking at a simple 3 line C program and being asked whether the program terminates is undecidable without knowing which compiler was used.

Null dereference for example is undefined behavior, and could cause a termination or not, depending on the implementation, even if it is known to be standards conforming to C11.

C loses some optimization potential because of aliasing; it can't be guaranteed that some pointer operation isn't going to change a variable anywhere in memory so that limits certain reordering and loop optimizations.

Languages without arbitrary pointers don't have this issue and safely assume they knows all the assignments done to values in memory allowing for optimizations.

> I certainly never thought I was being lied to.

That's because you weren't. You said:

> The whole time it was clear that nothing was "settled" the models were useful at explaining the observed phenomena but were incomplete.

Which is exactly what I think should be told to students when a simplified model is being taught. But the people I've been responding to are advocating for telling students the simplified model as if it were exactly correct and covered all cases. That is what I am saying is lying.
B.2) I bet that it doesn’t respect a wheel multiplier either. It is 3 down keys by default, but I set it to 6 (7 at summer). Even VSCode annoyingly does not, but at least it has its own setting for that, which still only affects text buffers and not everything else.
Have academic CS articles always had click-bait titles?
A lot of people have this mental model that The Cloud is Magic™.

They say things like this with a straight face:

- The cloud is always cheaper than on-prem!

- The cloud has no downtime, unlike on-prem!

Recently, I came across a large government department that had moved a reasonable volume of stuff into Azure. Think 7-figure annual bills.

They didn't like that they were overspending, so they complained to Microsoft, essentially demanding that they "make good" on their promise to make the cloud cheaper by cutting the cost on resources. This would have required an 80% discount, maybe higher. It's an absurd thing to even ask, but ask they did. Microsoft said no.

Meanwhile, I looked at their tenant, and the stuff that goes on there is amateur hour: Daily uncompressed database backups kept forever in premium zone redundant storage. Dozens of misconfigurations like that just burning money.

The worst part of it is that the "Azure Advisor" tab on the portal literally calls this kind of stuff out, recommending fixes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, many with a one button "Quick Fix!" that you can press for an instant discount.

Nope. No. They're not going to bother reading things, or checking the Cost Management portal every now and then. They'd rather complain to their Microsoft rep every few months in a huffy tone.

"You still haven't cut my costs! Why haven't you!? I thought that's what you people did!"

They're busy people and don't have the time to waste cutting half a million dollars of spend here or there with arduous tasks like button pressing.
We both hand-milk and use a pump. We've had a Simple Pulse for a while. It has been reliable and easy to clean. I'd say using a pump adds 5 minutes of overhead for setting up and cleaning, but it's not that much more given that I'm cleaning a bucket and strainers anyways.

Be careful when you say that everything can be converted to C. While that's true in a naive fashion, it gets rid of a lot of additional information.

For example, Rust can sometimes beat C because it's (1) often more friendly to auto-vectorization and (2) it has additional aliasing information.
I don’t understand this view. Do you think that the moment you become wealthy then you’re not entitled to feel any type of suffering in life?
Sure, theoretically.

For instance, C function calls always do some things (like preserving the stack) that may not always be necessary.

I sure wouldn't want to to TRY to beat a C compiler, but it seems obvious to me that it is possible.
Have you tried the Docker for M1 preview? It's been great for me!
C code that makes heavy use of callbacks in inner loops is at a disadvantage compared to languages with more powerful inlining facilities. Compare qsort() to std::sort().
You miss the point. If you use rails provided primitives it absolutely wouldn't happen. So it's fair to categorize this as a rookie coding mistake. The author took code that had these security primitives baked in the framework and REMOVED them, replacing it with insecure custom sql, which in turn led to the vulnerability.

Note that (despite the ill-considered claim about RSA in the abstract) this isn't security research. It's a maths paper in a very important area of number theory. It doesn't disclose a patchable flaw in RSA---it claims that RSA is based on an unproven conjecture that turns out to be false. That RSA is vulnerable to fast prime factoring has been known since it was first implemented. That's not fixable, so delay serves little purpose, especially with a (if it turns out to be true) seminal result in number theory.

One problem is that it encourages using items with negative sales tax for other purposes with value lower than the true cost (i.e. it can induce inefficient demand).

There are similar issues in agriculture subsidies and price regulation. E.g. High fructose corn syrup is probably as popular as it is because corn has been subsidized and cane sugar has a regulated (high) price. It's kind of like an inefficient arbitrage between physical goods to avoid taxes.

Yes, that's the "first bit" that I was not raising an issue with.

> dividing by q involves finding r such that r * q = x * p

Which, as you note, requires a trial and error algorithm to find r. But in any case, r is the answer being sought, not the thing we're supposed to be adding to itself some number of times to get the answer.
Yes, the post I was replying to said that "no one who has taken any of the vaccines has been hospitalized or died from Coronavirus" full stop.

If you can create a binary that links with a C api, its possible.

The access to DOM apis are going over the C, so its just a matter of wrapping all up in the target language.

Im using the Chrome multi-process architecture, but instead of a renderer process what gets called is a application executable that binds to Webkit and acts as the renderer process do to Chrome now.

So this gives the application much more control over the client rendering, hooking over every event WebKit triggers, something that is not even possible with Javascript now. So its much more powerful.

You also have a "service" process which runs as a service, that is actually the one that receive every request and can launch the application process or do something else.

The requests are over GRPC, so the service process serve not only the UI requests for routes but also the RPC method calls to the API it defined according to what the app does. The API for both are in Swift, but the core runtime and system is on C++ and in a multi-process architecture, so any native app that can compile into a standalone binary and interface with a C api can also use the facilities.

The applications and resource distributions are over torrent so anyone can serve the application without any intermediaries or shipping on servers.

If a app want to talk to the cloud, its just a matter of doing so when processing the routes or the RPC method calls, but it can work offline or eventually online/offline given its design.

I've heard Kotlin can produce standalone binaries, so that means its possible (and no WebASM shenanigans with direct access to Webkit and with the real native boost)

Unfortunately i cannot ship with another SDK right now because i'm doing too much already, but i intend to create interfaces for other languages once things are more stable, and people understand better what is it's place in the game.

But is more a application and window manager as Chrome is more-less and less as Electron or Flutter, where it wraps a standalone app.

With this design together with the RPC api's exposed by each application, you end forming a local network of apps, where they can work with each-other. And with the Api's working as a social contract, you can replace the application to serve the same things without losing everything (effectively real data ownership)

But my goal is that you can just call "./pacman" and the thing pops, even being managed by a core process as in chrome. The user dont need to deal or know anything about it.
