This is the clear replacement for computational resources when the EMP apocalypse that so much fiction predicts finally comes about.

There will be accelerated breading programs selecting for ever smaller & smaller crab sizes, and while Intel is stuck trying to perfect 10 centimeter crabs, TSMC will be creating cutting-edge football field sized processors running on 3 centimeter crabs.

Garbage collection in code will take on a whole new meaning as dead crabs are aggressively removed and repurposed into the local food supply, while protestors picket TSMC because the edible crab meat from 3cm crabs is miniscule & uneconomical to extract.

Bitcoin will become massively deflationary as hash rates plummet and vast quantities of the world's computation & food supply are turned towards mining 1 or 2 blocks a year, but transaction fees sky rocket.
the reason for the dreams being "random" is that you don't have input from your sensory system (ie it's turned off and the brain is generating "synthetic" input). you can see how volatile and random out thinking is while dreaming (and you see how important the environment is in grounding our thinking)
The lambda code has a 60 second max runtime as an upper bound, but I'd be curious about the lower the bound.

If you could do anything mildly complicated (filter down to 10% of a 10 GB file) and respond within 10 seconds, that could be very powerful!

Her story is not unique. Millions of Immigrants have come to America and achieved great success. The country was built on Immigration. Some of the poorest and most desperate people (orphans, kids from slums, etc) have climbed to the very pinnacle of their industries. But never the less this story is another example of someone who was able to do what may have seemed impossible at some point in her life.

I've done this sort of schedule quite a lot since my first kid was born (nearly 2 years ago). We share a bedroom, and they sleep a lot easier when I'm there too - often I just go to take them to bed, and end up falling asleep too at 9pm :D

I will wake up and let my brain wonder, then get up after 15 mins or so. By that time I'm wide enough awake to start coding straight away and know what I want to accomplish in the time I have. I don't check my phone at all in this time, as that'll lead to spending two hours down a rabbit hole on Reddit.

Typescript a) is just plain a lot better than mypy b) is still a poor experience compared to using a first-class typed language.

The extent to which a) is due to implementation decisions made by typescript/mypy vs being due to inherent differences between Javascript and Python is arguable. Certainly there are things that look like unforced design errors in mypy, and the fact that Dart existed (and largely failed) before Typescript shows that it's not just about what language you're based on. But there are also idioms and aspects of the Python object model that seem inherently hard to type nicely, and are sadly too entrenched in the ecosystem to change.
This kind of behavior could be adaptive, but is likely mal-adaptive in proportion to fungibility with ‘social-interaction’.
Agreed. One of the issues is that from a Venn diagram or set theory point of view, all "Free Software"(by FSF definition) is "Open Source", but not all "Open Source" is "Free Software".

Yet people really only know of Open Source as a common term to describe these projects.

It was/is cancer, caused by a distinct virus (KSHV) due to a compromised immune system (from the HIV->AIDS progression).

Complexity kills code. Being able to reason about what your code is doing, is FAR more valuable to me than async. Having tokio act as my runtime and switch tasks as it sees fit will be debug hell.

The problem I see is the current async story is opt-out. It's use async or go find something else. Async should be opt in. As in, the code works regardless of an async runtime, async is added magic if you want it, but it will run like normal single threaded code if not.

One interesting article I read but can't be bothered to find now mentioned how we could better utilize malls by making top floors of condos. It was such a simple but seemingly good suggestion. Already have huge amounts of parking, tons of floor area for convenience, and stores would change to those that better served the tenants. And as that happens, more people from outside would be incentivized to visit.

Perhaps there are reasons it wouldn't work, or is a bad idea. Perhaps I was enamored with the idea of rolling out of bed and getting Chick Fil A or Cinnabon in my pajamas.
I strongly disagree. The vast majority of extant .NET APIs encourage or require allocating memory dynamically, thereby requiring GC. Sure, if you rewrite everything that isn't already defined in terms of `Memory` or `Span`, you can do it, but that's a _tall_ order.

Even supposing you still mange to write a whole program that doesn't allocate dynamic memory, or that quickly stabilizes around a finite `ArrayPool`. You're still pulling in all the runtime GC machinery. Further, the minute someone _else_ contributes code, you run the risk of allocating again.

As much as I love C#, _this isn't its niche_.
I have a similar schedule for a portion of my work.

I find that I have 2 really good productive hours right before bed. I also find 3pm-5pm to be extremely unproductive for me. So my schedule is usually 7am-10am work, 10am-12pm exercise, 12pm-3pm work, 3pm-7pm dinner/family time, 8pm-10pm work.

This type of schedule feels very liberating to me. I don’t feel like I’m working that much, but when you add it up it’s quite a few productive hours in a day.
Hence David Hume's criticisms on the limits of inductive reasoning.
For me there was a sense of adventure going to the mall because the products would change unpredictably. It was like a living art piece that served great food and could lead to unexpected purchases. It was also fun in the pre-internet era of having the chance to run into someone you knew randomly whereas social media creates a seemingly constant contact.

It's in an old spam filter. I don't know if we still need it but we certainly don't have a problem with the word when used appropriately in non-spam articles. So I've restored it now.
Indeed, you need a reasonably capable OS kernel to use .NET runtime. And enough RAM. And I wouldn’t want .NET for hard realtime use cases.

Even in embedded, for some products the tradeoff is good enough. A while ago I’ve shipped embedded software that uses .NET Core and runs on RK3288, worked quite well for us.

BTW, do you have good experience with Rust on bare metal STM32? I would expect STM-supported C toolset and libraries to be generally better?

1) She was 18 when she made some of the tweets that got her fired. Those tweets (in the articles being discussed right now) aren't the only tweets that she made; those are simply the ones that were brought up this time. She also made a number of homophobic tweets as an adult and she apologized for those tweets in 2019 when she was first caught.

2) Almost every Asian person that has seen these tweets find them offensive. But thanks for deciding that Asian people don't get to find racist things racist.

3) Teen Vogue has a staff of fewer than 50, and that number includes non-employees. So yes, over half the company rejected her as a boss. That usually gets a person fired even if they're not openly racist.

I am self taught, I worked as a lawyer for six years and four of those were spent prepping for a career change - self-teaching comp sci and software dev in the evenings, then working as a volunteer a few years in. (I come from an engineering family and should have just done it from the start, but oh well.)

I'm not sure if it's still on the platform, but about a year into my self studying I took a series of courses on edX that used this system. I think it was called Systematic Program Design, but I could be misremembering. Anyways, the courses were incredible. I completely credit them with beginning to turn me from a coder into a software dev. The system they provide just locked into my brain like it had always been there.

I almost didn't take it because it used Racket, and I questioned its general applicability for that reason. I'm so glad I pushed those concerns aside, because in addition to introducing me to software design principles, it introduced me to Lisp in a way that also completely changed my thinking about what programming itself could be.

I've now been a paid dev for 2.5 years. I don't really explicitly use the system from the course in my daily work, but the knowledge contained within it has molded my entire understanding of the field.

The course literally changed my life.
Judging by the fact it's costing me less I'd say it is more efficient than my old oil heating system where I did not have individual room control. The conversion of electricity to heat is extremely efficient, close to 100%. If there were small heat pumps I could install per room I might consider that to increase efficiency, but all the ones I see for sale are big and high capacity and a pain to install myself (having to charge them with a gas). It would be great if there were smaller room scale units that just required a simple hole drilled to the outside and came pressurized with a simple snapfit connection to connect the two pressurized halves. Or maybe charging such a system with gas could be made simpler using a built in pressure regulator and reservoir. I looked into downhole heat exchangers and I can't afford to install one and even if I could it wouldn't pay itself off within my remaining lifetime. My house is already fairly well insulated.

It did, yes.

Helios ran on a bunch of different systems, 68000, Transputer, i960, and later ARM, I think.

Yes, you can have another vaccine in future when supply is available. Also, recent data shows much improved efficacy if the two shots are done 12 weeks apart (81% vs 55% if taken less than six weeks apart [1]. That is a much better efficacy rating and 12 weeks is in line with the TGA’s recommendation. Given it can be produced locally, cheaply, utilises well developed technology and doesn’t have any storage difficulties it is the best option for Australia right now.

I saw someone say the problem is there are just too many malls in America. In Australia it seems every mall is packed to the point where you can hardly walk through them, but all so that the number of malls per person in Australia is much lower than in America.
I'm not sure that I do. Two if the propositions seem a bit iffy to me, at least in some circumstances.

'Policy as code' seems reasonable, except I have seen a lot of situations (most of them related to complex CMS deployments) where all of the concerns and constraints were the same as described here, but the solution was to treat policy (and more significantly, policy overrides) as content.

Similarly, I am not at all certain that moving authorization to an external service would even be possible, much less maintainable, in many intranet and extranet deployments. And if the individual applications adhered sufficiently to a standard interface to make it possible, then doesn't the motivation for using a service mostly go away?

In my area we have a prion disease called CWD in the whitetail deer population. There's basically no way to destroy them in the wild. You have to bleach or burn the wilderness.

They've had some suspicions that the prion has infected humans, although I haven't read any updates to that in a couple of years.

Many locals still don't get their kills checked, even though it's free. They just eat them. A lot of the logic is that it's been here a long time and they've probably already eaten it.

Anyway, prions are the scariest thing I've heard of in a long time, because they don't even have an agenda.

Too much attention is put on if something is tier 2 or tier 3. It doesn't actually say that much about if you can use Rust on the platform or not.
There may be a tradeoff between the distance of someone you want to help and effectiveness - how much do you really know about their problems or the solutions you are funding? Have you ever tried to figure out requirements for a project at work that depend on a group of co-workers on another continent in a different culture?

There's also so many faraway causes, how do you prioritize?

The people I know, and the problems that I or they have, are not necessarily the most important in the world. But I have a better chance of doing something appropriate about them, because I'm not limited to vague stereotypes.

Trying to help with something that you know about firsthand also increases the odds that you will be addressing a problem which is common but overlooked by society because there isn't enough money, glamour, or self-actualization involved.

I strongly believe that a personal connection is not just a gimmick for these reasons.
Once a SE discovers that they can learn, quite significantly, in a language that may have very little practical day to day use, it's a powerful moment.

Sometimes the best tools for teaching aren't the tools we need in our day to day work, and that's ok. When you're in learning mode, it's about discovering those foundational blocks upon which all else is built. Those fundamental blocks are never the actual programming language itself.
Unfortunately with actual real-world policies like affirmative action that implement reverse racism and sexism in corporations and universities throughout the United States, often the people at these meetings *are less qualified* than ones who did not get hired under same policies.

Human brains are Bayesian filters. Affirmative action policies will understandably influence the prior even among individuals who believe in diversity and inclusion.

When she "starts talking," a fair-minded individual will develop a posterior that appropriately updates any suspicions that were previously held.
The only thing you have to trust on a BitWarden server is the Javascript client that it serves you, and using that is entirely optional as you can just use other clients. The server could be explicitly malicious and still safe to use.

bitwarden_rs bundles the upstream JS in its default containers, so it's the same code that you'd be running from bitwarden.com
> Using the term "open source" without any definition is useless. If we can't agree on a definition, it's impossible to know if we're actually talking about the same thing.

> These stories are not fiction. They are an amalgamation of the real experiences of people

This claim bothers me. It might be a nitpick, but I think it's an important one. For a given amalgamation, it is fiction in a non-trivial way that there was a person who literally had all the experiences in the blog posts or tweets etc. that inspired that character. Truth values of facts are almost always dependent on the relationship to other facts.

It would be perfectly respectable to simply say that your user stories are rigorously based on real-world experience, which is a good idea BTW, without claiming that they are "nonfiction". That's a needless epistemological liability.
Such strategies are remarkably effective, and maybe arguably describes all security in a nutshell.

Every time I notice an obscure feature in a Google product or service and go "hm, I wonder if that could be exploited", I then always go "...meh, it'll take too long and require too much concentration to figure it out."
That's about right, yes.

There were 4 x 20Mbps links and you could use them to directly connect to other CPUs (so, a mesh or torus) or to a fabric. The link protocol was very simple.

Each CPU had local DRAM, but there usually wasn't much: 1-16MB was typical.

Unlike most CPUs, there weren't really registers as such: you had a high-speed stack instead (on die). So an add instruction would pop the top two stack locations, and push the sum.

This person is highly idiosyncratic/unpredictable and has multi-day bouts of mania with extreme energy, before flipping into a depressed/alcoholic state where he's a no-show for a week. Probably he applied during a manic phase.

Needless to say he has an IQ of probably 140+ so he can impress people especially during the interview stage with his sheer intelligence. He can also build things fast. Everyone who works with him acknowledges the skill but finds him too destructive personality wise and it usually results in termination within 6 months. He's switched to remote consulting recently which is a better personality fit.

I know nothing about k8s yet, but try to solve the same issue with docker swarm and one thing I'm unable to get my head around is this: as soon as yaml files are stored in apps' repos and deploy is being initiated by commiting to them, how do you let the repos know about the new deployment? Or is there a tool that is present in k8s but is missing in Docker Swarm that knows about scattered yaml files' locations (git repos) and pulls them on the new deployment?

Ah, all that was old becomes new again. One of my projects in university (35 years ago) was to write a pop-up 6502/8080 assembler for DOS. It hooked into the bios keyboard ISR, in a similar way to Sidekick (anyone remember that) and would assemble any code typed into the window on the fly.

The use case was to insert inline assembly code into high level languages without having to leave the IDE/editor.
