>>Typically you make the memory redundant too, and just ensure that input and outputs are common and all code is deterministic. e.g. There's Tandem / HP NonStop which use these techniques.

Tandem was software fault tolerant - the Stratus machines were fully hardware fault tolerant and ran code in parallel on seperate logical cpus to test for faults. Truly neat machines. Also, it was a PL/1 based machine - even the OS.

Show HN: Real time AI Video Upscaling in the browser
But then how would I think about Crash Bandicoot and Neo Cortex whenever there is news!
Correct. If anything, tech workers like we find on HN tend to be more openly against Bitcoin (specifically) and cryptocurrency in general. The people I see buying it on /r/cryptocurrency are the ones posting "finally managed to get 0.01 BTC!"
I get the feeling this sort of solution is for a problem specific to a small number of devs. For example, "we have a new developer on the team and they don't know what to expect" or "we have an expert dev who only speaks in koans!". Instead of handling these on a case by case basis by team leads, a new requirement was made for all developers.

I never said "Linux is bad and insecure" either, and when making blanket assertions like that, it's helpful to have a point of reference.

So I ask again, which free software, widely deployed, battle tested and highly secure operating system are you comparing Linux to? That was the very obvious point of my comment, which you have apparently missed (ignored?) twice now.
You do what Vancouver does, and impose a 1% per month vacancy tax.

The author is just not familiar with mature software engineering process. I wish the open source world was more attentive to proper release compatibility, it would make everyone's life so much better. It does take a bit of discipline but it's really not difficult at all.

At Sun there was strict adherence to release taxonomy and interface contracts, along the lines with what has recently been getting called "semantic versioning".

An interface was anything something external could depend on. Any library or other code must document its public interfaces. That's not just API calls, but all public touch points something might depend on. The author gets to decide what is part of the public and what isn't. That documentation is the contract.

If anything in the set of public interfaces ever changes in an incompatible way, that forces a major release increment. Ideally you never do that. But if you must, it's a new major release number so everyone knows.

Having this documented contract makes everyone's life easier and more predictable. Consumers of the library know exactly on which interfaces and behaviors they can count on not ever changing unless the major release number changes. The author of the code knows exactly when they need to declare a new major release.

Personally on all my open source projects I faithfully maintain this discipline, so if you depend on 1.x of anything I write, it will never break compatibility on public interfaces until I call it a 2.0 and then you know.
> This comment and many others in this thread seem to be missing something.

I think they're also shoehorning their experiences. Some coders are cogs in giant tech companies that emphasize code quality, others are on teams in large business in an unrelated field, others are solo hobbyists, and still others are the only tech guys at their medium or small business. Some write code to run a business, others write code to probe the mysteries of the universe. Some write life or death firmware that'll survive for decades, others create landing or promo pages that will be deleted next month and are subject to the whims of the marketing department. Those are all vastly different contexts for a programmer and each requires its own set of trade offs vis a vis typing.

For example, I couldn't care less about strong vs weak or static vs dynamic typing at my current frontend job because the stakeholders don't know what they want, stuff changes rapidly, and there's little I can reuse from one request to the other but I was a full blown static typing crusader at my last job where I worked on a payment system that had to deal with schizophrenic regulations.

It would be interesting to see the stats of a country like India though, where you don't have confounders like vegetarianism often being a class signal like in the developed world. Although the more I look into it, the more I find that "vegetarian" is a pretty loose label there.

What societies in the past have mainly been vegetarian? None except India seem to persist to this day. I hear the human race took a pretty big hit in the early agricultural era as far as life expectancy goes.

Inly if you redefine “rich”. Increased purchasing power makes you richer, giving you a chance to build wealth. Inflation robs this from society and is oppression. I really don't care to be gaslit about economics.

I’m constantly reading that phone technology has hit a plateau, it’s commodified, everyone else will catch up to Apple any day now and their competitive edge will disappear. That’s been the story since the day the iPhone was announced.

Apples competitors actually believe this and have done for over a decade. Were Samsung or Huawei ever going to put that much investment into advanced tech? No because they are constantly being told by analysts that they don’t need to.

All those small tech startups Apple keeps buying with advanced Flash memory controllers, new optics, advanced sensors, AI optimised processing hardware. Nobody else in the consumer space sees the value in that, they’re all chasing the lowest common denominator. The idea that Vivo would be investing in tech startups and pushing technological boundaries if only Apple hadn’t beaten them to it is pure fantasy. The nearest any of those companies get to innovation is stupid gimmicks like built in projectors and edge screens.

Breaking up a company vertically can’t work. You wouldn’t end up with 5 smaller Apples. You’d end up with an OS business, a chip business, an applications business, a Mac business and a mobile device business. Everything good about Apple would die on the butcher’s block when it was carved up.
Can you elaborate? I was wondering why the stock dropped. What's the PR stunt and why has the price dropped?

As long as we're offering opinions on the iPhone's killer feature, mine is that it was access to desktop web sites.

Remember WAP[1] and WML[2], the HTTP and HTML substitutes for mobile phones too anemic/limited to support the real thing? Back then, many web sites simply didn't support access from a mobile device. (It's the polar opposite of "mobile first" or "mobile only".) A few did, but many just tossed up an error page.

With the iPhone, Apple put together all the key ingredients to be able to say, if you're on the go and suddenly need to access your bank's web site to check your balance or whatever, you will be able to, even if your bank doesn't support mobile devices. The experience may not be great, but it will at least be possible.

Those key ingredients included a big screen, a fast enough processor and large enough RAM to handle pages that were somewhat bloated, a browser that supported enough (JS, etc.) to make most pages work, and special features for making the most of desktop-oriented pages by zooming in on text. To some extent, Apple brought these key ingredients together by designing it that way, but they also did it by not entering the market until powerful enough hardware was available.

The iPhone flipped mobile web access on its head. Instead of implementing whatever was convenient and punting on 50+% of the web, leaving users at the mercy of web sites to decide if mobile access was worth it to them, Apple created a device and browser that took responsibility for doing anything and everything it could to make sites work.

The web is a killer feature for the internet, and getting meaningful access to the web was a killer feature for internet-connected mobile devices. Paradoxically, it worked so well that the platform was enormously successful and it became essential to offer mobile web support.

I don't understand when farmers say they "love their cattle" but then industriously kill them at 12% of their normal lifespan. And repeat. In millions.

The meat lobby really has a grip on the culture and identity of the animal consuming public.
They already had an incentive to increase it at the max, because it's more money in their pocket.

For this to be true, they would have to either (1) under present conditions, not be raising the rent to maximize profit or (2) under the scenario, raise the rent past maximum profit

Neither of those seem likely to me.

So, animals being alive is the general problem now when it comes to climate? At that, the greenhouse gas problem in livestock fed artificially large amounts of grains has been solved by introducing a small amount of seaweed to their diet. That's been kind of a non-issue for the past few years as more and more commercial feeds have seaweed included already. Just because you're not in the agriculture industry doesn't mean other people aren't doing actual good and change for the better.

bingo.

TypeScript had absolutely no excuse to keep JavaScript, beyond the misguided idea that because so many JavaScript developers exist that it should be easy to get them to learn types.

First, they introduced a compiler. At that point, you may as well toss out JavaScript for a better language that actually has nice type syntax. TypeScript syntax is horrible. It makes JavaScript completely unreadable in many places.

Second, JavaScript developers tend to be the type that have never learned another language beyond JavaScript. They come from bootcamps and elsewhere that only teaches JavaScript and that's all these developers know. They do not have the experience necessary to not make a mess of TypeScript's structural typing system. You'll end up with incoherent ad hoc types all over the place. You still have JavaScript's ad hoc data flow all over the place, but now you have TypeScript yelling at you while trying to formalize the mess and failing badly at it.

What I find is that often when people say they like TypeScript they really mean they like VSCode.
This is a silly simplification that posits that sticking the word "market" on something means that it will behave the same way and is beholden to the same forces. The bread "market" and the housing "market" are not comparable in this way. I think a lot more nuance is required for convincing case against (or for) rent control.
I have one... The battery life is currently OK but not great - something like 55 hours. But I think this can be improved with some firmware changes - and the firmware is open source.
The task at hand seems to be a good fit for closed-loop control automation. Much like cruise control - observe output, correct input. Perhaps they don't have the time for enough input/output iterations to dial in the throw? It'd be nice if they mentioned that.

> But I agree that learning C is valuable because I believe that learning about manual memory management is valuable.

You need to do it in Ada too :-)!
I think one of the sources of this kind of attitude is experience with type systems that are clumsy or slow to use. This goes equally for languages without type declarations and those with.

Personally, the two things I informally look for are:

* Does the language allow instant-to-a-human static analysis so I can see warnings when I'm passing the wrong type to a call?

* Will this language allow me to leave sections (almost always something I get off the wire) with minimal / no type information in order to come back to it later?

Typing is hugely powerful for avoiding problems. I've done a lot of work in Python, which I think has missed huge opportunities to introduce a more robust type-checking system. My current favorite is Elixir / Erlang, which I think uses pattern matching and static analysis to balance strong typing v.s. weak typing wins. It's interesting to compare Elixir to Elm. Elm has a much stronger type system, which means I almost never pass the wrong thing, but it also makes dealing with unstructured data much more frustrating.
Improperly maintained cars make me almost as sad as improperly maintained horses. We destroy billions of dollars worth of cars each year collectively because of people not affording/otherwise failing to do maintenance. On the flip side, thoroughly maintaining them would tend to result in a glut of older, less efficient cars, so it's not a cut and dry issue.

I really wanted to like Beyond Meat, but there's something about how it smells that seems... off... to me. I really want to go work there just to play with a GCMS and figure out what component smells bad to me and remove it.

Yeah, the artificial smoke flavor makes it useless for anything that isn't supposed to taste like it was on an open flame grill. I tried using the Beyond ground burger substitute for tacos once and all I could taste was that stupid smoke flavor.

The Impossible ground burger substitute is far more versatile, but harder to find. None of my local grocery stores carry it.
> "On a side note: I'm not vegetarian. I simply agree with those who are."

This was my position for a long time until finally making the jump at the beginning of the pandemic (vegetarian, will rarely eat fish sometimes).

For me, it was mostly about reducing suffering of other animals. I thought this way before but it's hard to change behavior and I liked hamburgers. I think this is the strongest argument and the environmental or nutritional arguments feel like side issues to avoid just tackling this issue directly. The meat substitutes are nice because they're close enough to satisfy the want at a cook out or something.

There's some long reasoning behind it, but basically 'thoughtful local eating of meat' or whatever just felt like a rationalization to me. If an alien came down to earth and loved eating humans, but said they thanked every human they killed and ate or that the humans had a decent 20yrs of life before they killed them (and they only ate local humans), it still wouldn't sit well with me.

In the above example I was basically the alien that understood and agreed with all the human arguments, but still ate human because I liked human burger. Being vegetarian makes my actions more consistent with what I think is the right thing to do.

In theory, you could draw some line at 'well humans and other more intelligent beings are different because they have dreams and a plan for their future'. Even if humans could draw this line perfectly (which I'm skeptical of), you'd still need to kill the 'lesser' animals in a way without suffering or fear. I just don't think that's logistically possible. It's definitely not the way it's done in practice anyway.
Be careful, this is how institutions bake-in bias. Subjective feelings are littered with implicit and explicit bias at every level.

At the end of the day it's all just people management problems. You're right it's a time sink for devs to quibble over and quantify prioritization--that's why I think it's more of a thing for management to assess and review. Trust devs to assess priority on their own, but verify with regular followup and review that those assessments are accurate. Business needs will change too and that might alter priorities--what was dust last week is now an enormous mountain because customer X demands the obscure feature no one cared about before.

Impossible burgers are way better. Can't stand beyond meat.
“This has been particularly noticeable in computers over the last three decades, but Moore's Law isn't a supporting argument for the benefits of monetary deflation.”

Asserting that an argument is not an argument is not a rebuttal.

The claim that people having more purchasing power will stop the economy is self serving for inflationists and never supported by evidence.

In fact the opposite has been the case time and time again.

As I proved in the example you simply ignored.

So, like I said, I have never seen an argument. Just these kinds of self serving assertions.
You're conflating domestically produced GHG emissions with domestically consumed products' emissions. As a toy example, suppose we grew no animal products in the US and imported all our meat. Your method would conclude that switching to plant-based diets would have no effect on GHG emissions since livestock represents 0% any of our agricultural GHG emissions.

The discussion of the similarity between these fossils and modern actinobacteria and zygomycetes is fascinating: it could be the missing link between bacteria and fungis, as predicted by DNA divergence estimations:
