A lot of us don't like the taste of raw tomatoes. As far as I'm concerned, the closer they are to latex bags of water, the better.

To me it could totally make sense. It depends on the context, but I can very well see contexts where such a choice could make sense. For example, in line of principle it would make sense, for an RSA implementation, to accept to construct a type PublicKey only computing the product of two Prime's, and not two arbitrary numbers. And the Prime type would only be constructible by procedures that provably (perhaps with high probability) generate an actual prime number. It would be a totally sensible form of defensive programming. You don't want to screw up your key generation algorithm, so it makes sense to have your compiler help you to not construct keys from anything.

For the same reason, say, in an HTTP server I could store a request as a char* or std::string, but I would definitely create a class that ensures, upon construction, that the request is valid and legitimate. Code that processes the request would accept HTTPRequest, but not char*, so that unverified requests cannot even risk to cross the trust boundary.

- pushed in my USB drive with autorun to copy files ( it was related to a dare)

- someone was a bully. He talked about nfs 2. Sub7 him and deleted his saved games of it( a website catched his IP in logs, also msn could see the ip connected during a file transfer at the time - unrelated). I laughed silently, when he complained at school.

- distributed the twilight and crazy bytes CD/dvds at school. They compression was amazing! ( I know it deleted assets too)

My desktop contained 3 cd writers to burn things. Later on 3 dvd-writers.

- Didn't fiddle with hardware too much. But i remember doing modem bonding for double speed. I quickly stopped because my parents found out ( 2 phone lines occupied) and because of the high price... 5,6 kb. * 2 felt insane. It was a normal model though and seems a bit weird, telling it. Did anyone do this too? ( Don't remember it very well)

- chat logs of msn were amazingly simple and nice at the time! Xml with dtd. I still use it for a lot of things for templating client data and even generating html from it. Most useful thing from then, that i still use.
Without an MMU, you can't do paging. That means fork() cannot do the normal copy-on-write business, because there's no page table to copy the entries in.

You also have no inter-process security, so everything can crash everything else including the kernel, and no swap.

The objections I personally have against exceptions almost all don't seem to apply for language like Go actually.

The thing that annoys me about exceptions is that they can be slower that you'd think, make safety analysis really hard (i.e. regular control flow isn't too bad, exceptional control flow can be weird), and are a pain to implement. And with Go I don't think of those things as being a priority.

It is slightly more verbose than well written Python. I think that puts it a good 5x less verbose than the equivalent Java, tho I have not ported any Java to Go so YMMV.

It is like Python in that it is modern, has a rich set of good libraries to do stuff, a simple method of codes reuse (interfaces rather than dynamic duck typing). You have first class functions so you can write cool call back based Jason transformers or the like. Ten liner Python reformatter is twenty in Go. Still clever and way faster and runs on sixteen or 32 cores with no work, assuming you design the program with the data flow in mind.

I have not written many web services, just one gRPC thing which was the typically slow first use of a new framework couple of days work. Mostly I write network shimmies, eg syslog to Kafka or NAT to squid, or else S3 bucket editing utilities.

> On the subject of danger. Literally everything we do is dangerous to some degree.

I don't disagree with your take and I'm a self driving car proponent, but I'm worried about what process we take to get there.

One thing I've taken away from the pandemic is that people seem to have no problem imposing their tolerance for risk on others. Seems like we are on a path to play this dynamic out again in how self-driving cars come to market unless that safety profile is really well controlled and understandable.

Even if at a population-level self-driving is slightly safer statistically than person-driving, there are enough edge cases to give me pause right now, and at the individual-level it may raise my risk either as a pedestrian or driver and certainly changes what is predictable behavior [1].

To prevent a prototype or proof of concept from shipping, you need to leave it feature-incomplete.

The mistake people often make with such things is building it thoroughly enough that it can be shipped.

If you hit that problem, you didn't build a proof of concept - you built sloppy production code.

I think a war with Ethiopia would help the Egyptian regime, assuming it went well. And it probably would because Egypt's military is the strongest in the region minus Israel.

The real question is what Sudan would do (probably lie down for the Egyptians).
What's their use? I can't figure it out.

At first, I thought it was going to be something that would allow one to express, e.g. I start work from this date, from this hour to this hour, these days of the week.

But the format seems to only express contiguous intervals. What's the point of recurring intervals if they're limited to be contiguous? You could just join them into one interval.

EDIT: Or am I wrongly assuming that they're contiguous and rather they just don't specify when they repeat?

> Not having MMU means there's no virtual memory and instructions refer to physical memory addresses, cmiiw?

Pretty much, yeah.

> You say Linux won't work without MMU, it can't handle physical addresses? Moreover, why won't fork() work without MMU?

When httpdito fork()s two child processes, each of them starts receiving the HTTP request into the request buffer at `buf`. This works because the semantics of fork() give those two children two different buffers at the same memory address, one in each process's address space. The Linux userland relies relatively heavily on these semantics. It was a major obstacle to getting an SSH server running on cisco IOS, for example.

An event-driven server like darkhttpd is a much better fit for an MMUless system. Implementing multithreading is easy (it's half a page of assembly) but implementing memory mapping without an MMU requires some kind of interpreter.

(Actually you can implement fork() without virtual memory and without an MMU, for example with PDP-11-style segmentation, but the Cortex-M0+ doesn't have any of those facilities either.)
Any government can decide to make some work public domain. Other governments may not agree, and it may be a breach of international treaty, but it's their choice to make.

What is a completely separated issue from all laws needing to be public in a democracy. Once it's a law, there's no going back. So if the government is serious about intellectual property, what remains is only the option of saying "well, somebody fucked up somewhere here" and paying damages to the copyright owner.

I love tax law, honest to goodness, and the US's tax code is so fascinating. Regardless of the political/economic reasons why a tax law exists, so many of the rules are so oddly specific that upon reading them I find myself smiling trying to think of the situation that caused a specific law to be made.

When I read these rules, I thought of a potentially amusing tax loophole with regards to the stolen property section:

>Stolen property. If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless in the same year, you return it to its rightful owner.

There's another rule[0] on the books that says interest-free loans to friends and family can have tax implications, but if your friend/family _steals_ the money from you and repays it later that year, they could potentially get a short-term, interest-free loan without incurring the tax implications. I'd have to dig into the details to see if this would actually work out, but it's an entertaining thought exercise nonetheless.

Oh, so you can only crosslink from different root nodes. That makes sense.

There are so many ways to structure todos. In this case, it appears to be using subtasks specifically to break things down in various ways, and it's a cool implementation.

I personally think of todos as having dependencies, like a simplified PERT chart, which would more require a DAG. If I brought in the ability to generalize groups of that graph (or in the other direction, take a general node and "break it down" into a group of nodes), I guess I'm thinking of a multi-graph there. That sounds really hard. :)

Well actually I believe they have a rather large upfront carbon footprint, but the question is not whether they are worse than fossil fuels, but whether we should rely on other forms of "green" energy which do not have catastrophic failure conditions or rely on a competent society to safely maintain. We have already failed to stop global warming and we should expect to be in decline, so that's the future we should prepare for.
A lot of major utilities in modern software development are written in Go (e.g. Docker and Kubernetes) so it’s definitely a “hit” by any objective measure. It is not universal like Java but it is an established and mature language that will likely continue to grow.

I don’t think Go is considered uncool - if anything it’s the opposite. Probably fair to say that Go is “cool” for hackers and CTOs but “less cool” for formal computer scientists since its type system is limited (and even then goroutines are interesting as first-class construct). But I like Scheme, F#, and Idris, so don’t take my word for it :)

> This is a silly argument. Not reproducing during every ovulation and spermatogenesis cycle does the same.

This is actually, sort of, the point of view of many Christian organizations: sexuality is to be used for procreation only.

> Likewise in your argument, cutting someone that is braindead from life support could be depriving them.

The question is always about in which situations it is ethical to decide about the existence of another person. I'm quite optimistic humans won't ever achieve a consensus about this. Which is good - it means that we stay aware of those questions.

Sorry about high-roading here - my point was that also in this case the ethic questions are not trivial because facilitating brainlessness is an active act during a similar phase of a human's existence as abortion. Because of this, I'm positive that jurisdictions allowing abortion will eventually allow growing brainless humans.

This resonates with me. Two different people at a job dubbed me "The Technological Luddite" because of, among other things, my lack of a cell phone, the absence of a Facebook page, pointing out where the "all you have to do is ..." algorithms break, and so on.

I will admit it, I prefer the downslope of the Hype Cycle. I choose boring technology. At the end of the day, I am trying to solve problems, and playing with new stuff often doesn't pay out for solving those problems.

I related this once on another site: we had this process that was heavily manual and the people performing the task would want this part at the end automated, or maybe a reminder email at the end, or some instructions here ... can we just do that part by computer? Bit by bit, the process maxed out on automation.

And then the people who asked for the automation were fired and replaced with minimum wage intern types. Also, the final product was inferior but hey ...

I think technology can be marvelous but we often do stupid things with it, ending up in unemployment and some crap results, like "American cheese."
> unless you are arguing that lockdowns are and will be, in perpetuity, the status quo

I am not arguing either way, what I am saying is shouting "here's what I think, prove me wrong" is not how it works. "Here's what I think, and here is the evidence" is how it works.

Lack of data can't support any claim. If we don't have good data on whether lockdowns are effective, it doesn't mean they aren't. It means we don't know. In which case we do a risk analysis, taking our uncertainty and potential benefits/drawbacks into account.

> Are you arguing your presence in society is outweighed by the mere possibility of you having a negative effect on it?

I don't consider myself absent from society. I am talking to you now, am I not? And yes, I consider my temporary suffering to be outweighed by potentially permanent suffering of myself or someone else.
Further caveat: it's arguably much easier to cool a reactor when said reactor floats on a literally-planet-covering heatsink.

The "pushbacks" you see on social media are essentially the output of a random sentence generator. Covid is not real, covid escaped from a lab, covid is a conspiracy, etc. etc.

What's important is that what the IRS learns this way should not be shared with other agencies. That should improve the level of tax collection. In fact information sharing would be an incentive not to share, which, as most tax evasion is goes undetected or at least not followed up, would be a kind of subsidy or tax break to lawbreakers (much as drug laws are a price support and subsidy for drug dealers -- regulatory capture at its most raw).

The same applies to TSA: they should look for weapons and nothing else. No drugs, no other contraband. Narrowing the search space should (hopefully) improve threat detection, so leave unrelated factors to the professionals.

As a general principle this seems to be poorly understood by both legislators and the general public.

I find my thinking when I did a lot of C network servers was mostly on the state machine. What msgs are needed to do this task and what state needs to be changed to track the piece of work. In Go I design it as a data flow, what inputs, outputs, what channels and go routine pools, etc. the state can be implicit in the local block of the go routine due to the excellence of the run time. And all the cores for free, no sync except to edit hash maps, so design those to be used not per request but less often.
> There are edge-cases even there. Calling a function generated by a JIT compiler is undefined behaviour, but there's a gentleman's agreement that the compiler won't screw it up for you.

Though you're not writing C/C++ in that case. You're writing "C/C++ for that particular architecture, ABI, OS and compiler".

In general C/C++, if your code is correct every present and future, known and unknown compiler is supposed to generate a correct executable. If they don't, they have a bug. You can pretend to be smarter and go UB, but then the responsibility shifts on you, you have (in principle) to validate each compiler and environment and you can claim no bug on anybody other than you.
I'm torn on which one second response is best. Contenders are:

1. Reprocessing is a better technological solution.

2. That waste is much safer in it's current location in a dry cask in the back lot behind a power plant than it would be on even the safest rocket.

3. Even if we punt waste disposal or reprocessing to future generations, we are still better off stacking waste in dry casks in the back lot behind power plants than burning coal.
Absolutely. Worse case scenario, you scuttle the vessel and the reactor is surrounded by a cooling medium in perpetuity.
