They already are editorializing to some degree with their program of paying writers large advances.

They needed to choose who they would recruit to the platform and then pay them and that's an editorial decision. The fact that it's _also_ an open platform for anyone to write on doesn't change that.
Code is a way to define a series of logical steps that can be performed using binary logic. This hasn't changed in 70 years.

Expecting code from the past to be "worse" is like expecting math from the past to be worse.
It's a little more complex than that. Naturally an 'always running' server is faster when you're not getting a cache hit or you're running into a Lambda cold start. But for stuff served from CDN cache it won't make any difference. Vercel/nextjs are geared towards encouraging you to make everything static so that it does get served that way.

If you need to generate every part of your page to be user-specific then I would say that's a different use case and nextjs isn't necessarily the right tool.

That said, you can actually do some pretty dynamic pages with it. You should try out what they call 'Incremental Static Generation'. It's basically the SWR pattern, but for server-side rendering.
That only seems to explain why it could seem odd to buy an entire desktop PC to only ever use it as a basic calculator. In that case, it might make more sense to just buy a calculator. But there's certainly nothing odd about buying a general purpose computer and then use it for lots of different specific purposes, one of which is numerical calculation.
In which case the problem is with the government (that already supports French symbols, mind), not with the person hoping to have sensible support for names.

In that case, use "su".
The most important thing here is the magicness of the wire. The ship is 60m wide and 30m tall, that makes a circumference of 180m. 0.05m radius, 100000 windings, made of copper with a density of approx. 8900kg/m^3 gives a total mass of approx. 1.3*10^6 tons for the cable alone.

Datetimes really are the achilles heel of SQLite.

The JSON extension library is amazing and works well. If SQLite were to grow a first-rate RFC 3339 library, one which could read from tz when available and do the things which strftime cant, acting on your choice of Unix timestamp and valid RFC 3339 date string, this would be a real boon to the ecosystem.

I haven't found typechecking inputs to be a real barrier. Sure, `val INTEGER CHECK (val = 0 or val = 1)` is a long way to spell `val BOOLEAN` but `CHECK json(metadata)` is a reasonable way to spell `metadata JSON`, and a similar function would surely exist for a SQLite datetime extension. You can do it now by coercing the string through an expected format, but that doesn't generalize well.
Capacity is required only if you plan to grow a string in place (so you know how much you can add before reallocating).

Reallocating is possible here because the string is one object, including the header. Reallocating would change the identity of the object, which is a non-starter when multiple places in the program are sharing the pointer via reference counting.

Therefore, all the strings are immutable here, and so all operations return a new string object.

That's a nice ideal, but unachievable. Social norms exist because people in general are incapable of doing exactly that.

It's not just "hard" - it's outright impossible. You're basically wishing for no one to ever be offended again for any reason.

That's not human nature, though, so the best way to avoid unnecessary drama is to stick to the old "Talk is silver, silence is golden" as far as discussing controversial (off-)topics in public is concerned.

Emphasis on 'in public' and 'off-topic', because that's what this is about. Might not be as important for the average Joe or Jane, but as soon as your name becomes entangled with the cause you fight for, it's a different story entirely.
You recall incorrectly; swap is not needed. It's not just me who runs without it; Google production machines did for many years.

"The behavior is often worse without swap" is more vague / subjective. I prefer that a process die cleanly than everything slow to a crawl semi-permanently. I've previously written about swap causing the latter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13715917 To some extent the bad behavior can happen even without swap because non-locked file-backed pages get paged in slowly also, but it seems significantly worse with swap.

zram is a decent idea though. I use it on my memory-limited Raspberry Pi machines.

This article explains the categories of 'threats' it blocks: https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004563666-...

We call these "system images" and you can generate them with PackageCompiler [0]. Unfortunately, it's still a little cumbersome to create them, but this is something that we're improving from release to release. One possible future is where an environment can be "baked", such that when you start Julia pointing to that environment (via `--project`) it loads all the packages more or less instantaneously.

The downside is that generating system images can be quite slow, so we're still working on ways to generate them incrementally. In any case, if you're inspired to work on this kind of stuff, it's definitely something the entire community is interested in!

From a very young age I made the decision to never drive. No clue why but I was just like “this seems dumb” and went with it.

Now I’m nearly 40 and the positives have definitely outweighed the negatives. For example, I’ve never had a commute longer than 20 minutes by bicycle.

Honestly one of the only good decisions I’ve ever made.

You don't have to use Rosetta 2 - that was an example of a good implementation. I did mention the announced x64 emulation on Windows, but that's only a preview release at the moment. If you're a Linux user the only thing I'm aware of is QEMU TCG but there might be faster projects out there.

Off-topic: This was posted yesterday, but got no attention. (I tried to re-post yesterday, but got redirected to the existing post.) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26576032 I wonder what makes HN disallow reposting of the same URL in a short periods of time but allowing it in long-term.
This thread reminds me similar threads here and elsewhere when Deep Water Horizon’s well head was spewing hydrocarbons into the Gulf of Mexico for weeks. The immense scale (depth, pressure, etc) and logistics (distance from shore, open ocean) exceeds everyone’s intuitive high-school grasp of physics. The ideas presented are laughable and immediately shot down by people armed with just a few facts (plenty again given the scale and logistics involved).

I’m eager to see what clever solution the engineers eventually pick.
It was the best ever, I haven't found anything even close.

Eureka! Make the water sufficiently dense by dissolving salt or another chemical into it. And/or chilling it.
Maybe something like those air/water tanks they attached to the side of the Costa Concordia to float it [1].

But you would have to take great care to prevent it from rolling over, so you probably can't lift it up too far.

given the endless display of incompetence we've seen the past year on almost every front, I'd say it's fair.
Exactly. I'm guessing weeks rather than days, and maybe more than that.

The best I can come up with is heavy lift helicopters to at least remove the front most containers to relieve some of the pressure but even that would be an enormous operation.

Anything else would require major construction especially if it is to reach more than just the first four or five rows which is likely not going to be enough.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-26

Can do up to 60 tons total weight for a bit. That should cover even the heaviest containers. At least, I hope it does, if not they're royally screwed.
This is great! Are you doing a pan-european version?

There's soething similar for the US at https://www.mapnificent.net/ if anyone's curious
I think strict adherence to such rules is silly. Some 20 lines functions are massively more complex than some 120 line functions.

If the computation is simple and linear, then long functions are fine. If there are nested loops and if statements and other forms of flow control and deep nesting, then long functions are painful.
Wait, what part of London are you from?

I lived there for a decade and only knew a single person who had a car (because they had to commute out west towards Slough).

Driving in London does not make any sense, it's expensive (congestion charge, parking), slow and impractical. Especially when London is made up of what is basically dozens of villages, all with their own high street.

I lived in many different parts of London and never had to walk more than 15-20 minutes to get anything I ever needed. Rarely I'd have to hop on the tube to get something specialised (which would probably not even be available outside of a large city like London).
> Vercel/nextjs are geared towards encouraging you to make everything static so that it does get served that way.

That would mean they have no reason to exist. If they're slower than a regular server for dynamic content and only as fast as a regular CDN for static pages, they're beaten by the old server + CDN combination.

The niche for rendering on the edge is really incredibly narrow. Take one step further and you have client-side rendering, take one step back and you're already on a server. I'm not surprised people have trouble finding use-cases, and when they do it often turns out they would've been better served by one of the two other solutions.
You might end up getting it stuck higher. Then what?
It was an interesting time. The iPod was a phenomenal success, iPod launch events were media circuses and the cultural as well as commercial success was huge.

Yet iPods themselves were really just music players. A more sophisticated Walkman.

The iPhone combined the computing flexibility and utility of an Apple computer with the convenience and user friendliness of an iPod. But by 2009 they were still just getting started with it.
Same. My first C cgi program was a small Tic Tac Toe game that kept the current state in the request string. It had a little logic to play against the user. It did not, however, support number of players 0.

No, why would it be? We're stipulating that the Europeans had an odor the Japanese didn't. But how was that a problem for the Europeans?
The ship weighs over 400 million lbs. Falcon Heavy has something like 5 million lbs of thrust at takeoff, but then each Falcon Heavy adds some weight. I'm not sure what type of fuel load it would need to lift something a few feet and drop it somewhere else? But you're probably going to need several hundred Falcon Heavys to move this ship.

Then you have to attach them all to the ship somehow? Hopefully all of the rocket exhaust doesn't blow a bunch of containers around or melt the ship or anything.

Then I guess hope that the ship has been engineered for a scenario where rockets are used to move it so that it doesn't come apart?

Sure, I can't imagine why all of that wouldn't take more than a few days.

If you mean using rockets to basically pull really hard on the ship and yank it out of the bank, then that's a little different - you still need several really big ones, but you can probably rip the ship apart just the same and make the problem 10x worse without quite as much effort.
> Where do you draw the line, though?

I think the likely answer is going to be – no, they won't allow any language, they will keep to a restricted alphabet for company names, based on what characters are used in a list of allowed languages. What they'll do, is extend that list to include indigenous languages of British Columbia. So likely there will be a process, in which an indigenous community will submit an application to have its script allowed in company names (and possibly other names such as personal names). The government will ask professional linguists to advise on the application to ensure its correctness. Then the characters used to write that particular language will be added to the allowed list.

I think the argument is that the British Columbia government has a special moral duty to its indigenous peoples to help preserve their languages and culture, which justifies them going the extra mile to support the official use of their languages. I don't think it has the same moral duty to preserve Tibetan or Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji) so it would be justified in not extending this provision to those languages.

One potential issue I foresee is data interchange. I presume that British Columbia shares company data with other Canadian provinces, the Canadian federal government, probably even foreign governments (especially the US) and private sector firms (such as D&B Hoovers). What if the data interchange format doesn't allow these additional characters?

One solution is to give the company two names – its name in the indigenous language, and an English/French approximation to that. The system would store both names. Data interchanges which can't support the indigenous language characters would only receive the English/French approximation name.

Interesting to think about this in the context of inflation - "We do expect some price increases as the economy warms up but that's not inflation."
inoreader.com turned out to be a pretty good replacement.
Not a chance. 224,000 tons. But you could use those to lift containers off one-by-one. Then you still have to move the ship but maybe when it is unloaded it can be done.
How far could it go? Could it go political about Egypt’s management of the crisis?
I agree with this. As a manager I have a lot of meetings and few long stretches for 'deep work' in my day. Yet when I take on some work that truly absorbs me, I find the time for it. Non-essential meetings get postponed, email/Teams can survive an hour or two without a response, HackerNews will still be there at the end of the day ;-) , etc.

I do feel like a lot "distractions" in work hours are avoidable. Some of them are just habit or a dopamine fix or procrastination - kind of like checking Facebook or Twitter on your phone when something else isn't focusing your attention fully.

Earlier today By clicking on some "dots" queued up on that map I think that I saw a ship tagged to transport "livestock" => that might become a small tragedy if they don't manage to clear quickly the channel - those chicken/goats/dont_know_what might be due to die anyway once they reach their destination, but dying of hunger/thirst packed aboard a ship might be worse... :(
I don't think they do.

The memory model itself isn't patentable; the TSO memory model already existed on x86, as well as many other architectures before that. Having an option to enable/disable TSO might be patentable, but it'd be a stretch; there's plenty of precedent for allowing a CPU to select between operating modes at runtime. (For example, many PowerPC parts could be switched between little-endian and big-endian modes at runtime, and some developers even used this to assist in emulating x86!)

What's more likely is simply that other ARM SoC vendors aren't implementing their own cores (e.g. they're using a standard Cortex-Ax design from ARM), so they can't add deeply integrated features like TSO themselves.
So first off substack currently right now hosts newsletters that are aggressively transgender-hostile and which have been nucleation sites for harassment against trans people.

Agile destroys any software project it’s allowed to touch by sabotaging development of early architecture through the “it must fit into two weeks” mandate and other assorted short-termist practices.

But the F-35 was already a shitshow, because the aircraft itself was designed using agile, though the Pentagon called it “concurrency” instead of calling it “agile”.
Concurrency (agile) was also used for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), which produced a similarly disasterous, unreliable four-assed monkey that neither the Chinese nor the Russians would ever take seriously.

yes this - we have a socialised medical system, the government understands that reducing the demands on our health system by reducing the number and severity of car accidents is a useful thing, it reduces the costs we all have to pay.

So our police, who are responsible for picking up the pieces, do continual public outreach encouraging people to drive safely/sober/etc the yearly "road toll" is a continual metric that is used to show how well we are doing as in "the road toll this easter has been higher than last year, please drive more slowly"

That might be the case - also, just for the serious - a less silly recommendation. This is what ballast does (sorta) and replacing the containers with water (i.e. in inflatable reservoirs) that can quickly be pumped out might be a reasonable way to Inidiana Jones your way into tricking the rolling boulder and/or listing vessel.

But the parent comment was pretty gently put. I didn't read it as armchair criticism, but rather more wondering aloud. The idea of cofferdamming the ship is entirely feasible, and I too am curious about how it compares to other interventions in terms of time and effort.

Yep.
