I don't subscribe to the idea that all classics are mandatory. However, there is a certain amount of homework you would have to do if you want to understand the culture you live in. The Bible and Homer, Shakespeare, Milton, Cervantes, Goethe, etc. Stories that other stories build on and extend, down through history. Scratch any contemporary book, movie, video game, whatever, and those sources are right under the surface. They're in the language you speak, the music you listen to. You are well served by having certain classics as part of your education, but if you are not curious about that stuff I am sure you can live your life without knowing.
Note: I will not name and shame - my lab is small enough that it would be traceable and make me identifiable, particularly as I have spoken up and tried to address some of these issues in the past. I do provide students who are considering our lab a very honest overview of my experience (good, bad and ugly). I, OTOH, was lured in by students who told white lies and half-truths.
It's amazing this isn't a standard feature. The database world seems to have focused on large, high volume, globally distributed databases. Presumably you would't version clickstream or IoT sensor data.

Features like this that are only feasible below a certain scale are underdeveloped and I think there's opportunity there.
> In 1946, the director of the AFA, physicist Enrique Gaviola, wrote a proposal to set up the Comisión Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas, or National Scientific Research Commission, arguing that post-World War II friction (leading to the Cold War) would present the opportunity for various northern hemisphere scientists to move south to escape limits on their research ...

You have to wonder what would have happened if that had played out ...

Keep in mind many classics are translated and retranslated in a contemporary tongue. I was reading some Plutarch and found it incredibly accessible and easy to read - most Latin texts that I have read are quiet easy.

Until I started reading them I was expecting something more like the Bible - so terse it is exhausting.
I find it interesting that both of the biggest points this raises (hotkeys, nonmodality, inline comments) can be obtained with vim and latex.
>Because book quality has nothing to do with release date.

Quality has a lot to do with release date, although in the opposite direction you seem to imply here. Books that have been part of the discourse for hundreds or thousands of years are likely of significant value because they have been hammered at, turned upside-down and kept people engaged for a very long time. That's a pretty good indicator for their value, and it also increases the chance that the books are still going to be relevant in another 50 years.

So cultural artifacts are actually like reverse-fruit. The older they are, the likely they have struck a nerve and found something that's meaningful regardless of what age we happen to find ourselves in. If you have to choose between a classic and a random politician's campaign memoir published half a year ago, picking the former based on age is actually a really good idea.

Increasingly, companies like Tesla also need to figure out how they will adjust to an adversarial China and the corresponding shift in Geopolitical reality. I remember reading that China may derive 40% of its revenues from Chinese market soon. Also wonder if this is already priced into Tesla's stock. That being said, I am also sure Elon and Co. are not sitting idle and twiddling their thumbs. In any case, it will be interesting to see how they deal with this.
Can we stop using shorts as the bogeyman? Tesla shorts have lost billions and true believers have made billions. Short sellers have an important function in the market of both rooting out fraud and as buyers when the stock price starts to decline. Short sellers were blowing the whistle on Wirecard for years, and have been the voice of reason on Nikola, MiMedx, GSX, Valeant, and countless others. Not everyone with a bearish opinion on a stock is going to maliciously sabotage it.

No mention of Forth?

Back in the early 80's Forth was the first language available on the original Macintosh. I loved Forth, but it completely ruins you for every other non-RPN language. I remember writing an ASCII terminal (dial-up modem) application in Forth to learn the language, and afterwards every other language that I was using at the time just looked... weird.

I had to perform a massive mental shift to get back into all of the other languages I was being paid to work with at the time, and it was so difficult (for me, anway) that I never went back to it.

> There's no good reason to assign the sweeping and inherently-fuzzy category "white" to mean "prejudice + institutional power".

“White” is the name established by those with institutional power for the group their prejudice favored, other racial identifiers were ascribed to (and, through shared experience of racism from the White group, became identities for) various groups that their prejudice operated against, whereas White became an identity for those whose shared experience was being the beneficiaries of that institutionalized prejudice.

This is a very good read and answers your questions far better than I could:

International Communist Current: Success and failure of the Bauhaus (2012):

https://en.internationalism.org/icconline/201207/5066/succes...

p.s. Actually we can answer that question based on the topic.

Bauhaus was inventing forms for industrial production. This means using machines with the inevitable reduction of human labor in the production process. As this logically would ultimately reduce workers to consumers and designers (as ultimate reduction of craftmanship), the ownership of the production means is an issue. Unless this owned by the state, Bauhaus then is guilty of pretending to socialism while helping industry tycoons retool their factories. I opt for their sincerity and thus the unspoken truth of Bauhau's social program has to be a state where non-labor capital is owned by the people/state. Otherwise, they would focus on design that required substantial human involvement.
Amazon really missed the boat on Citus, a few more great acquisitions like this and Azure is going to look great (yes I know it can be still self installed on AWS).
i can actually see hospitals being a place where masks have more legitimacy, not specifically for corona, but for the confluence of many transmissible ailments accumulating there.

but with corona, while it's not undeniably confirmed yet, it's quite likely that vaccines dramatically shorten the window of infectiousness, allowing most of the vaccinated to stop wearing masks after a short window (~couple days, iirc). yet, the general recommendation remains that they be worn by the vaccinated public indefinitely. the cdc apparently is now literally doubling-down by recommending two masks be worn by everyone, completely ignoring the human social dynamics that overwhelm the assumed threat model implicit with masks.

if masks--or lockdowns for that matter--were dramatically effective, we'd see it in all the data we've fervently collected and analyzed over the past year. at best, we've found weak correlations all around (i.e., marginal effects), that suffer from unspecificity, because it's hard to unambiguously isolate independent variables from confounding ones in real world epidemiological data.
False.

Definition 1.b. in your link includes the government explicitly.

None of them exclude the government, and they can all reasonably include the government.
Merging is hard, but the rest can be done with copy-on-write cloning (or am I missing something?).
Speed is also getting to be an issue. Replacing a 14TB disk in a mirror can take almost a day (mine do ~220MB/s average).

SATA is maximum of 6Gbps, but even maxing that (750MB/s) for a 100TB drive it would still take 37 hours to mirror a full disk.
For a while I tried to do the opposite and only read very contemporary books (harder than you'd think). I had three reasons:

-I felt (still feel) a lot of pity towards new authors. It's hard enough to break through in any field, imagine having to compete with millennia worth of people. Man that has to suck and the easiest way I had to give them a leg up is to give them priority.

-I'm lazy and hope contemporary authors will digest all of those classics for me, even if only through the culture, and give me an easier to assimilate message. There's an ease to reading someone from your generation that really helps with comprehension.

-This sentiment is as old as the hills and I'm a contrarian. Can't deny that particular emotion rules over my decisions now and again.
> I'd also like to see how well RISC-V is supported by Cosmpolitan.

Not at all. The whole idea is based on limiting your outlook to x86_64. So, Cosmopolitan is definitely cool, but a bit less cool than some people think.
I had the exact same feeling arriving into projects using PyCharm: somehow I could feel PyCharm's influence over the code and ignorance of the non-IDEA tools (e.g. makefile/isort/black, which are usually superior/easier to use than the mouse oriented interface of PyCharm). I even use a phrase for the way they are developed: PyCharm oriented development.

VSCode is better at first, unless you need to work with Python 2.7, where it fails completely: there is no good lsp for it (intellisense fails), and working this problem around by downgrading to ctags does not work either.

The best I can say about them is that both has decent multi cursor implementation.
> Is it a correct mental model then to think about control unit being a logical or "distributed" unit(right side of diagram) instead of a monolithic unit(the left side of diagram)?

That is a somewhat reasonable interpretation. Just keep in mind that both diagrams are massive simplifications of the actual reality (i.e., the left side diagram likely had a more dispersed control system than the block diagram would lead one to believe).

> I'm guessing this "reservation station/reorder buffer variant" of control unit is the predominant one in use in CISC chips these days?

It is/has been a popular model (first introduced by IBM in the 360/91 mainframe circa 1967 -- R.M. Tomasulo, "An Efficient Algorithm for Exploiting Multiple Arithmetic Units, https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/greatworks/tomasulo.pdf) for many designs over the years. As for predominant in CISC chips, that really depends upon what current Intel/AMD CPU's are doing internally, and I've not kept up with their most recent offering's internal designs.

Wordpress would have benefited from this.

What a lot of webmasters want is, test the site locally, then merge it back. A lot of people turned to Jekyll or Hugo for the very reason that it can be checked into git, and git is reliable. A static website can’t get hacked, whereas anyone who has been burnt with Wordpress security fail knows they’d prefer a static site.

And even more: People would like to pass the new website from the designer to the customer to managers — Wordpress might have not needed to develop their approval workflows (permission schemes, draft/preview/publish) if they had had a forkable database.
You've gotten a lot of replies all negative to company forums, and I feel compelled to gently push back. While for certain companies it can clearly be a problem, I'm not sure this applies in the same way to more technical/niche areas and community forums can be immensely valuable resources for a company and support. One example that instantly comes to mind is Ubiquiti, despite them trashing their good old forums in favor of a shitty new in-house "modern" thing. They have no bug tracker or a lot of other basic stuff too, one of a long series of examples of corporate decay over the last 3-4 years.

Even so, their forums and community are still an extremely valuable source of useful advice, and actually pretty critical to use of their platform given how bad their official support is and how they've allowed their documentation to decay in many areas as well. While it's gone downhill from before and there is increased noise from upset people, it's still important, and the decline isn't due to moderation or any sort of spam/trolling.

Again, I can see this being easier for forums that are pretty focused. Tesla, or Apple, cover a vastly broader range of the general population and inspire stronger feelings both ways. But forums can be very positive. Yet even so I know there was valuable information on the Tesla forums and people coming together, fans and tinkerers and such. Throwing out that baby with the bathwater does seem so unnecessary...

...particularly in the context of you mentioning SA which I also once used a lot. That brings up that there are a lot of tools that for whatever reason don't get used that can make it much, much easier to deal with moderation, ie:

>"While it's obvious Tesla "could afford" to moderate it, it's also probably the kind of line-item no one actually considered being part of running a forum."

I wonder why so many places are allergic to just plain charging money. Posting in a first party forum isn't a right. Just make it $10 or whatever, must repay if banned. That'll gate spam/trolls pretty hard. Moderation is fundamentally an economic equation: the time/resources it takes to moderate a rule breaking post VS the time/resources it takes to violate/evade moderation. Yet for some reason everyone always acts as if only the first part can be changed. Not so. There are plenty of ways to shift the second part too that almost never get used. Adding money, or even time cost (make someone perform an hour/day/week of computational work to earn a level 1/2/3 token etc), then changes the balance with no additional cost on the moderation side by making evasion more costly.

So far, so good! I have a Mila air purifier, and dual-hose A/C that brings in fresh air and vents exhaust, and I leave the french door open quite a bit. I have an AirThings air monitor and the VOC reading on it so far has been normal... so I guess that's good?
This, right here, is right on point. My advisor is also particularly apt at securing private funding, which benefits our research institute, so everything is somehow "addressed" and then, it's ok? Except, it rarely, if ever, is truly addressed and followed up upon.
This part is dead simple and quite clever. It's on the animated diagram in dark blue, and you can also see one port on the cutaway engine block photo (I've been to see this in real life; the engineering is phenomenal). On the blue diagram I think it's air+fuel at one end and exhaust at the other.

When the pistons reach their maximum opposing distance, the injection and exhaust ports are briefly exposed, allowing for entry of fuel/air and exit of exhaust in a single linear movement from one end of the cylinder to the other. Maybe the air is injected before the fuel or at a higher pressure. And if you time the speed of the exchange just right in time for the exhaust ports to be closed over before the compression stroke, you get complete exchange with no fuel wastage. Absolutely nothing like a 4-stroke engine, and not much like common 2-stroke designs either.

Better question, who wants to be the guy that goes, "I have a great idea. It'll really piss off those yanks. It'll just cost us about $100 billion (the price of like 7 Gerald Ford class carriers) along with the interest payments. A small price to pay to piss them off and have their private corps and allies buy their debt at a discount."

MacBook Pro is dirt cheap compared to the desktop Pro; it's not what were discussing here.
Intel CPU's (as well as AMD's) have the ability to load microcode patches to correct/fix bugs that are found post manufacture. In fact, many of the spectre/meltdown mitigations that occurred after those exploits became known were in the form of microcode patches to the various CPU models.

Note, this is not "user definable", but it is updatable microcode.
Agreed.

I think it’s a serious problem. I’d like to see it made mandatory to disclose.

But I see nothing obvious to do with murder.
I’m personally at the stage where it seems like such obvious silliness that I feel like I must be missing something, and so I avoid expressing this opinion anywhere that I might be held accountable for it at some point in the future. But I still suspect that I’m right, naturally.

I wrote a bit of fiction recently which portrayed a future where a starship needed to run its own Bitcoin mining cluster (because "reasons") and the ship also happened to use a nuclear power plant. and for "reasons" the mining host hardware was also placed as close to the nuclear reactor as they could get away with (well the electricity generation portions anyway.) all needed for (arbitrary, fanciful) plot reasons, but one of ideas I used to justify it was because the power generation qualities fit the power needs of the crypto miners pretty well. stable load, low cost per watt, theres no wind or geothermal or tide in space, and solar is sometimes too weak and other times entirely blocked (picture situation when ship in planetary orbit, on far side from the star, so light is eclipsed.)
Bluetooth has the Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) feature, and Bluetooth Low Energy has the LE Secure Connections feature, which both use Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange and therefore is protected against passive eavesdropping. The standard also includes the ability to support authenticated pairing for protection against Man-in-the-Middle attacks; if you've ever had to see if a 6-digit number matches on the two devices that are being paired, then you are seeing the authenticated pairing taking place.

Even though the Bluetooth standard includes these features, many products don't actually use them and simply transmit data without any encryption or authentication procedure. This is particularly a problem with many Bluetooth LE products.
