There was a multi-vendor standard for Transputer modules called TRAMs: they were a bit shorter and a bit wider than a modern DIMM, and used pins on the short ends rather than PCB fingers.

A common TRAM had a CPU and 4MB of RAM. You'd get a bunch of those, maybe a graphics TRAM, a SCSI TRAM, etc, and build a machine using a carrier board with maybe 8 or 10 slots.

Having residential above retail is super common in non-American cities. It works pretty well in Montreal -- condo buildings usually have a grocery store and coffee shop in the lobby, while a strip of three-story buildings might have two stories of residential above things like a collectibles store or a martial arts dojo, with a grocery store on the corner.

The problem with doing this with malls is you have minimum quality requirements for residences. Daylight requirements are a particular concern -- you can sell corners and edges, but you're left with a big space in the middle you can't use, unless you're willing to make the corner apartments expand that far. Once you start doing that, the condo costs comparable to detached houses, and there you lose out to The American Dream(TM). The real wins here would be in splitting apart the stores and putting housing above each one, and replacing "destination" shopping with neighborhood shopping.
Quantum may not be the lowest level: Nobel prize winning physicist Gerard 't Hooft speculates the existence of a more orderly layer underlying the quantum layer.

Otherwise, I see no reason why a thing cannot be used to simulate a thing of the same kind: Computers are used to simulate other computers on a daily basis.
I’ll add that the metro is efficient and clean by international standards, in case any readers think there was an implied “...for South America” at the end of that. It was cleaner, better maintained and more accessible to people with disabilities than any metro system I’ve used in the US, aside from _maybe_ the density of stations in NY.

Helios (the OS of the ATW) came with a port of GCC. It was, ironically, hard to use Occam on the ATW.

I think you could also get Fortran, Modula2 and Ada compilers for Helios.
If the founders committed outright fraud, they should be punished, of course. But the burden of proof for accredited investors claiming fraud should be pretty damn high.

Accredited investors are granted the privilege of investing in risky businesses, and it's only reasonable that they should also have to pay the price when those businesses fail for almost any reason.

They can't have it both ways.
> vast majority of extant .NET APIs encourage or require allocating memory dynamically

A lot of APIs in modern .NET already supports spans. They can be backed by anything, not just GC-managed memory.

For that project, some of these spans are backed by the memory mapped by V4L2 or ALSA API calls. Others are backed by unmanaged buffers allocated on startup with Marshal.AllocHGlobal. For small temporary stuff I use stackalloc, e.g. both mp4 and mkv use tons of variable-length encoded integers.

> the minute someone _else_ contributes code, you run the risk of allocating again.

Good point. On the other hand, someone else contributing code can introduce any bugs at all, not just GC-related performance issues.

> As much as I love C#, _this isn't its niche_.

A while ago some people were saying the same about C, and were instead coding assembly :-)
Whatever you want but skeptically and critically. If you think something in a report might be credible, it’s not a “fact”, it’s a “maybe”.

If you want truth, stop buying news and use that time to study higher levels of mathematics beyond what you understand now. Honestly, just don’t buy news unless you’re in a position to profit from it.
Do you not buy anything made overseas that pays workers less than 80% of some us based rate? You don’t own an iPhone I assume? You don’t own anything with an intel in it?

Unless you have a compelling reason for why brains are a unique type of matter whose functions are partly derived from quantum phenomena (more so than other things, that is) then I see no reason why this is true. Or, if it is true despite any lack of uniqueness by brains, then nothing can be simulated because all simulation would be restricted by the quantum barrier.

Regardless, he doesn't matter. An omnipotent being is fully capable of coming to assert his authority anytime he wants. In the absence of that, there's no reason to consider his opinion when constructing laws for actual people to live under.
HN is more about being argumentative for the sake of it than actually needed. May be more and more people feed on trying to prove others' wrong than proving themselves right.

As one of my previous comments said, "HN is not full of smart people, HN is full of people who think they are smart." And I may very well belong to the second category but I don't comment on every issue at least.

I’ve met the creator once at a hackathon.

What was striking was just how happy and energetic he seemed to be. Really nice guy. That he spends so much time in front of the computer is quite a shock for me.

Because when I do it I become a nervous wreck when doing hobby projects, always looking for “more programming time” (like an addict), and without energy for anything else. So even though I like coding a lot, I just become the opposite: unenergetic and not that happy.

He has solved the puzzle somehow, it’s impressive.
I don't think safety is driving Rust's ascent. For example, WASM has more momentum with Rust than with C++. But WASM is already sandboxed, and does not support threads; so what is Rust bringing to the WASM table?

I think it's a monoculture phenomenon. Rust has a website and a pitch; C++ does not. Rust has a single compiler and one way to do things; C++ is overly diverse. Rust has learned from npm, etc. and has made package management first-class with a single package manager; C++ has not. Rust is just a much more familiar experience for developers coming from other monoculture languages.
If it exists and has opinions on assisted suicide, the onus is on it to manifest its will (and prove its existence while it's at it.) In the mean time let's legislate without considering religion.
I see you as fortunate. I battled for years with frustration and loss of passion for coding until I ran into LISP/Scheme/Racket. I like how you put it that it "locked into my brain like it had always been there", I felt the same when I finally got to it. I also discovered this accidentally but much later in my career and only after I started lurking on HN few years ago. I am learning and toying frequently and am very excited again. To give you an example, I'm on vacation with my family and took with a me a book in logic programming in scheme which introduces the logic programming concepts, solves a few problems using the learned techniques then it goes on to to implement minikanren in less than 300 lines of code. The whole book is a mere 50 pages. The knowledge and understanding blow my mind.
Social security's solvency depends on a continuous flow of immigrants to the US, which proves my point. Also, that is one aspect. There are multiple others where US depends heavily on immigrant labor (eg. agriculture industry heavily dependent on illegal immigrants). You also need young workers for other functions of the society. If everyone decides not to have babies, then societies have a very precarious future.
I chose to use bitwarden_rs because the official server is huge, and deploying it seemed like a massive pain.

Before installing the rust version I actually went through the code to check that it wasn't doing anything untoward; it wasn't a very thorough review, but it took a couple hours. Given the fact that you don't actually need to trust a Bitwarden server, I'm not too concerned about using an "unofficial" implementation.
This is actually what happens in many new developments in the US today, so called mixed use developments. Example, there is a lot of these in Austin, Texas; the one that I will mention is called “The Domain”: bars, stores and residential complexes all within walking distance, connected to downtown via bus and rail. It’s pretty amazing.

It’s probably a model that will be replicated across the US if the urbanization trends continue.

As a biochemist (no conflict of interest), I honestly don't think there's any reason to think this has anything to do with glyphosate or herbicides.

Environmental exposure in general is unlikely to have a subacute presentation such as in CJD, so that probably rules out exposure to reasonable levels of any herbicide.

It's not feasible or reasonable depending on the world catering to your every need.

> I have seen about her in the last 2 weeks,so either some people is using her to "celebrate diversity" or she has a PR working efficiently to prop-up a future endeavor.

I think celebrating diversity for the sake of diversity is stupid and the piece is probably PR for NASA.

But let me highlight that these sort of stories play a very very big role in many remote parts of the world (I come from one). The fact that someone owns a car, a house and has plenty of food on table can also be an inspirational story for many and I am not exaggerating.

I remember in my school when teacher asked us what our ambitions were our answers were "getting a job". One girl said she wants to be a "graduate" and the whole class laughed thinking she thinks too much of herself. So let us not downplay her achievement as "middle manager", I hope her story inspires more Colombians and let us hope that it also helps us think better of Colombia as a country and its people.
> 58% think that "most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public."

I am confused why this is considered a misconception? A cursory search of twitter users turns up scores of blue check bios that list themselves as both "Journalist" and "Activist[1]. Numerous articles from mainstream sources ([1], [2], [3]) talking about how the line has blurred and why that is ok or even necessary. Are people wrong for thinking that covering stories from a particular lens constitutes being "more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position"?

I've had that moment and it's a paradigm shift in thinking. I'm still on my first leg of my journey as I started learning Racket/Scheme relatively recently but I've already started seeing things in a different light. I almost don't care about performance (at this point) as I know that could be attainable somehow once a solution is fleshed out but I simply enjoy the understanding of the concepts and the patterns that arise. At this moment I see possibilities all around and feel quite electrified.
I suppose this is irony, but introspection is problematic in minorities, perpetuating a bad situation. Ie. you'll find much worse racism in most foreign countries. They just don't acknowledge it yet. It's not on the radar.

Absolutely, we should be clear about that, especially right now. Point well taken.
(someone else answering) my reason for opposing it is that it creates opportunity for abuse, for example like pushing older relatives toward that decission because someone doesn't want to care for them.

I suspect the answer is, like most things, 'politics'.

So, to me, for instance, take the biggest problem the world currently faces - global heating.

I think everyone knows the two or three things we would need to do to 'solve it':
- carbon tax
- carbon capture
- energy reset/clean/green/conservation/etc.

But it's only partially 'solved', same as robocalls.

There are just too many people making too much money, having too much success, with robocalling to stop it.

I think you are right "OSI approved license" is a much more precise term than "Open Source".

If OSI wanted to provide the official definition for what is "open source" and what is not, they could have perhaps trade-marked their term "Open Source".

But "OSI approved license" has its own vagueness about it. What does it mean that OSI "approves" a license? Approves it for what? To be called "Open Source"? But then unless they have the trademark for the term Open Source, they shouldn't be the one to give approvals for people to call their software that.

This reminds me of the debates about whether something is true Agile, or merely wannabe-Agile. Words are just words. It is good to have precise definitions but those can be specific to a given context. It is a bit like let x = y + z. Is that the correct definition of x? No, but it is a VALID definition of it, assuming y and z are well-defined as well.
Yes, of course. The arbitrary human life has a value less than $1k and I suspect is equivalent to almost zero dollars.

You can generalize this to signals by introducing noise to get higher resolutions from ADCs[1]. Human vision does this too[3], there was a really interesting theory that the reason 48 FPS in the Hobbit looked so bad was due to it falling right near the line Nyquist and the brain being unable to distinguish from a sequence of pictures(24FPS) or continuous frames(60FPS)[2].

GitHub Personal Access Tokens have no granular permissions. Coworkers always opt-in to use PATs instead of deploy keys, because it's easier, but to be able to clone a repo with PAT you need to extend the permissions way beyond just cloning a repo. The OAuth scopes are also not very granular. They don't have to reinvent the wheel - there are already a bunch of working systems they just need to replicate.
The American Dream(TM)

If I could have a condo that was as quiet and accessible as a house (buying groceries, whether in person or by delivery, was a huge hassle in my SF apartment), with a "backyard" I could reserve for an hour or two of total quiet and privacy, I'd take that over a detached house. But my experience so far in two separate tower buildings was noise, a lack of mutual respect in amenity spaces, frequently breaking elevators, and overcrowding.

Very interesting and accessible!

One comment on terminology... The people who pay the most attention to the topic maintain a distinction between parallelism and concurrency. Parallelism is more than one bit of work getting done at a time. Concurrency is about coordinating everything being done to ensure that the results make sense.

They say "parallelism giveth, concurrency taketh away". Work done on concurrency is overhead, not directly producing results. Sometimes it makes less useful work be done, such a stalling a functional unit while another uses a shared bus, or delivering two results A, B produced in random order in the required order.

Parallelism is associated with the "data plane", concurrency with the "control plane", in systems that use those ideas.

Software people often don't know about the distinction, and use the terms interchangeably. Keeping them distinct helps sharpen thinking about systems affected by it.
Seriously too many distractions make work impossible. I can't seem to get this into people's heads. I need them to leave me alone when I'm working.

It's so bad that I've started to get anxiety every time I open my computer. I start to panic because I know a distraction is coming. It makes it so difficult.
That is a regulatory issue.
> Daylight requirements are a particular concern -- you can sell corners and edges, but you're left with a big space in the middle you can't use, unless you're willing to make the corner apartments expand that far.

Or, since you're talking about the top floor, use skylights. You could even make it the top two floors, but each center unit is on both floors and has a "basement" without natural light.

> Once you start doing that, the condo costs comparable to detached houses, and there you lose out to The American Dream(TM).

Prices are set by supply and demand. If people like something else better then the price is lower. It's hardly going to be lower than the construction cost.

The real thing preventing things like this is that it's all too often prohibited by zoning for no good reason.
Discrete transistors have never been cheaper so this is more practical than it's ever been. (Not sure how the current semiconductor shortage has affected things...)

> Which is why you should call them "OSI Licenses" if you are referring to OSI licenses.

1. They aren't written by or copyright or anything to the OSI. They aren't "OSI Licenses" they are "OSI-approved licenses"

2. The Open Source Definition as clearly defined by OSI (and accepted as the only consensus definition in the world) does not include OSI-approved as a factor. So, a license can be Open Source without the OSI having done the active approval to validate that they see it as Open Source.
I've used latex on and off over the years, I can write complicated math expressions off the top of my head pretty easily. For document formatting and package use, however, I need to look up syntax and examples every time. Where can I learn the how all the messy syntax of latex (aside from the math notation itself) is supposed to work? Or should I just stop trying, because it's a lovecraftian tangle that will drive me insane?
