Why not write an entire OS in a message-passing VM based language with garbage collection? No crashes, ever!

In fact, you can run Erlang directly on raw metal, or write an OS in Erlang: http://www.erlang-factory.com/static/upload/media/1498583896...
Drastic differences between the three! The Røde is certainly acceptable for most circumstances, but the Fifine sounds like absolute crap in my opinion.
Zagreb has more population than Portland and almost as much as Austin. Not sure what size city you're looking for, but a lot of people specifically don't want a Los Angeles size sprawl.
I used to live in London... and the fact that Tower Hamlets council tax was LOWER than slightly farther out of the city centre is ridiculous.

The luxury flats had no effect on supply - because it wasn't nearly enough. Getting government approvals is hard and then you have low council taxes in London. And closer to the city centre - the lower the council taxes!

Let alone - 22k is literally a drop in the bucket. It wouldn't make a damn difference in a city of 10mil!
I may be wrong, but something tells me that Canada must be much more demanding on the provenance and destinations of these 800k$.
You're forgetting a entire ecosystem: developers. Microsoft owns NPM Inc, GitHub and Linkedin, all but Linkedin focused on developers and both GitHub and NPM owns their respective markets (GitHub for source code management and NPM Inc for JavaScript distribution)

I don't think you can use "double standard" as a derogatory term when you're comparing the needs of kernelspace code and userspace code.

...plus, they're already planning to write their own `alloc` replacement if for no other reason that they need to support API features of the kernel allocator that are absent from the userspace allocator, like GFP flags:

Note also that one of the main benefits of a dedicated DAC is that many implement digital oversampling: they use a high-quality digital antialiasing filter to upsample the audio to the 100 kHz-1 MHz range, so that a simpler (= cheaper) analog antialiasing filter can be used on the output.
floc off, google :)
You say this as if python could do any better
Thanks, maybe we can build something along those lines even if we're using a totally different language (Elixir backend, JSON to a React frontend).

That is an administrator console. Sometimes we do have the foresight to understand what our users actually want but in a large system inevitably happen things like "it was obvious to us" or "after months of use we realized that it's better to do this way", etc.
Say someone runs a business - they have a senior guy(s) working in country 'x' that's part of their team... he has access to all their code and company's systems...

How much perverse pleasure do you think is a reasonable amount when they save a few thousand dollars a month, while at the same time publicly raising millions and paying developers junior than him more money... and doing everything in their power to burn more money to get ahead of the competition...
I think ultimately what you want is some measure of say it's practicality / viability to really make change?

I think the catch is that if you really knew that... you'd be out making an insane amount of money as you'd be able to pick and choose winners / make them work ;)

I'm reminded of the old TV series "Connections" where lots of individual innovations are cobbled together over surprisingly long periods of time to really have an impact. Mostly... it seemed like a combo of inspiration and happenstance when someone strung them together.
This is utter nonsense. XLM is founded by Jed McCaleb of Ripple and Mt Gox fame, and it's not a cryptocurrency. It certainly is not money. Bitcoin tx fees are readily verifiable on mempool.space and are currently $11-12 for a low-medium priority transaction. (One can easily get in for several dollars less, as well) When you insert such blatantly misleading and outright false information it brings into question everything else you said. Plus, it should be noted this fee is pretty high. The BTC tx fees lately have been averaging only around $5-8 and that is sending on Legacy.

This is also a family issue, how the hell am I putting my children to live in a society with a culture like that? What kinda of things will he learn or fear? What he will live at school? How it will find a wife or build a family?

It's hard to pass on the things that happen in the middle west culture, it's so different and against a lot of philosophies that I cultivated my whole life. Maybe I'm not prepared enough, but I would hardly bring my family to that situation

It would be really interesting to study the dose response curve in regard to a single thing like depression. Do microdoses or mild doses help more or less than a Zoom call with God dose?

For a medical use I'd be concerned about the unpredictability of the experience with high doses. A traumatic or chaotic trip could make depression worse or possibly trigger other latent psychological issues.
> Epic is trying to strong arm their way into a position of power against steam and apple so they increase their take off the casino they've filled with children.

And Apple has the moral high ground wanting a cut of proceeds because they make it easy for children to get to the casino? Not a great analogy.
Had those albums all through my junior school years in the 80's. Never managed to finish one of the buggers :-)
> if the only handling you do is effectively `alert("out of memory!"); exit(1);` it's really not worth bothering with it.

I'd argue that even this is worth it, for most software. At least then you get a clean exit and an obvious problem. The alternative is to not detect it and let the code walk off into undefined behaviors and potentially subtle bugs that can harm data and/or break security.
Yea definitely. I like the idea of it, I just wish I could turn off all suggestions and discovery unless I go search for something. Oh and turn off ads too if I'm paying.

This is refreshing! no grammar analysis, no inferring about mental disorders, no bragging about high ground you are on, not calling creepy, no calling OP over in his head... to me it feels like people are having a field day at OP's expense. OP: I suck!.. 999 people: AHAHA YOU DO BECAUSE YOU SUCK.
What does that have to do with psychedelic psychotherapy?
> It baffles me that some people don't seem to care about their audio quality on calls.

They might care but have no idea it is bad. You can’t hear yourself on a call.
Anything particular in mind? You could probably get a good academic paper or patent out of this.
I use Kotlin so that I don't have to use Java. But it's still far from the "This is the Language I want to commit the rest of my career to."

Language development looks a lot like the startup path anymore. Claim you fill a need. Focus on growth growth growth by adopting features from as many communities as possible as fast as possible. If it's trendy, add it! Have a flashy web page. Find some venture capital by getting a big org to underwrite/champion you. Figure out how to really solve problems and fix everything once you've got critical community.
Robinhood: Experiencing issues with crypto trading due to unprecedented volumes
It was a period of many depressing thoughts for sure. I wouldn't wish that struggle on anyone.
To be honest I think the desktop question is misleading. x86 to most is a known quantity, there is very few specific reasons to choose ARM instead of x86.

But if desktop ARM becomes commonplace, it's a good indicator that ARM is finally competitive for "serious" workloads, and people might invest in it more.

As thing stands right now and IMO, it's getting there but Apple having M1 is not enough for me, as CTO, to look into ARM servers, if not as a curiosity.
As a C developer for embedded, considering Rust for a long time now, the panic thing is something that bothers me. I don't want/I can't panic. I want to be returned false, null or whatever.

Do I have to check if an external crate that I am using would panic? If so, how do I prevent the crate from panicking?

From my perspective, Rust is kind-of designed to support code like this (non real Rust code follows):

my_struct.do_something()
.get_this()
.get_that()
.as_ref()
.as_paper_airplane()
.unwrap()

What if some of those calls fail? How do I detect an error? Alright, it might panic, but what if I have to keep going forward, even in case of an error, in my embedded application? Should I split the different function calls and check for errors?

Kernel development intersects with embedded development in many points. I'm sure I am not the only one with these doubts.
There is no way to placebo control a psychedelic really, as that effect is easily discerned, even in a closed label trial. Therefore, a comparison protocol is used instead, which is anyway superior to pure placebo control.

A different psychedelic, which is not expected to have an antidepressant effect, or a low, psychoactive but not antidepressant dose.
Or known non-psychedelic antidepressants which have been placebo tested.
One time I went there and took the shuttle train all the way to a lobby where I had to wait in line 30 minutes to get the keys, they give me the keys to a Chevy Malibu but when I make it through a maze of corridors and elevators to a giant parking garage there is a Ford Escort there (and the keys don't work.)

I go back up and wait in line again and this time I get in the car. The oil change light is on and I realize that I forgot to get a child seat but I drive away, figuring I'll deal with those problems tomorrow, if it all, rather than wait in line for another 30 minutes.

Contrast that to a normal airport (LAX or ITH) where the wait is usually less than 5 minutes.
> Like, if you're out of work for a couple of months and the only way to feed your kids is to take a Java job, I don't think you'd pass it up.

I would honestly consider the alternatives. I'd probably take it in the end because money is good, but I'd try to flirt with manual work instead, if Java was my only option.
Opioid medication isn't psychedelic psychotherapy, nor has it ever had strong associations with anti-establishment movements.
Textile engineering - to the untrained eye it looks exactly like knitting. A surprisingly cheap and addictive hobby...
but it’s not as cheesy for sure, everything is all slick and polished and minimalistic, no doubt nostalgia is at play, but there was definitely a “Wild West” of computing back then that in my opinion has only been matched by the emergence of crypto, and an example of the difference might be like, now you can download unity for free and download a sample project and go to town, but back then having Qbasic hidden on your windows 3.1 install and finding the source code for a local multiplayer game ready to run, it’s just like... going to your local farmers market versus going to Whole Foods kind of feel, doesn’t feel like the makers are throwing in any hidden fun stuff anymore, everything is all corporate and streamlined rather than having a handmade feel lurking just under the hood

Absolutely agree, thanks for this reply. I was cognizant of the foreign policy implications (how would this possibly get implemented globally) but I hadn’t heard or considered your points 2 and 3.

Given how much lobbying I suspect there is, 3 probably isn’t all that distant of a concern. Especially in older industries, say railroads or trucking, I understand there could be a lot of contention.

And as others mention, I think there needs to be a separation of taxation by segments of polluting activities. Would burning fuel in a combustion engine count as taxable energy production? Only power plants? What about agriculture, construction, material production?
It's not just the number of actors, it's that there are a couple of very distinctive voices, and they're associated with characters you interact with frequently. It's distracting when roughly one out of every eight NPCs is Tigger.
Well, true, but it seems hard to design such a study comparing psychedelics and common antidepressants.

Because a antidepressant works pretty much on its own. But when you treat with psychedelics, you have to have a very professional therapist guiding the patient, otherwise you will get all kinds of effects. (So I argue success depends very much on the therapist)

And a patient will notice, whether they just get a mushroom trip, or not. So what they did, they gave the control group 1 mg of antidepressant and told them, they are microdosing psilocybin.

Not really ideal, but how to improve?
There's nothing special about String other than it's in the standard library. It doesn't even have special cased syntax (&str does have special syntax, it doesn't allocate).

String does need to know how to deallocate itself, so the compiler has to know what allocated it. It can be moved between threads, so a thread local allocator doesn't work.

If you want a String type which is allocated differently, or which stores a pointer to its deallocate, you can easily implement that as a new type by hand.

(The standard library types might some day become generic over allocator, which would allow statically using a different allocator with the same api. The compiler would then force you to keep track of which allocator your string was allocated with).
I don't think having one in the past should be a "get out of jail" free pass for future offenses.
Today no one would chose an introduced species like cats as an example of symbiosis. Outdoor cats are an invasive species which are destroying the native bird populations, and as a result the larger food chain. They are a huge problem for ecosystems.
>Not to mention the pain point that it still is to install and configure a JDK, and make it work properly with Intellij, why is it still so complicated?

You just download the JDK, and set JAVA_HOME to point to it when you want to use it.

For IntelliJ, you set the JDK in the project settings. It has a menu where you can point it to a JDK it knows about already, a JDK on your FS, or you can select a JDK for it to download for you. Couldn't be easier.

Java build systems are mostly terrible - you're right about that. Maven has the best tooling support, and is actually very straightforward, but a bit limited. I have had a number of bad experiences with Gradle. The Blaze-family build systems (Bazel, Buck, Pants, Please, etc) are far more sane, but have low adoption.
The parent comment had no more sourcing than my comment, I'm not sure why you're singling my comment out. Yes the Rothschilds fit my description, but I'd argue anyone who maintained generational wealth in the time of colonization, slavery and zero labor laws, did so through non-ethical means.
The major difference is that opioids had been used for pain treatment in modern medicine decades before the war on drugs, so legal prohibitions on recreational opioids didn’t affect basic research nor the development of new treatments, nor did it affect the legitimacy of opioid treatments in the eyes of the US medical establishment. (perhaps it should have!)

By contrast, psychedelics have not been used in medicine and were/are not considered “legitimate” by the medical establishment. So with legal prohibitions on actually obtaining and administering psychedelics, the War on Drugs actually did hinder psychedelics medical research.
There is also an argument to be made that Timothy Leary made a real mess of things and at minimum, certainly didn't help the situation any.
Thanks for the recommendation! Read a bit about the project, it's amazing what a group of passionate people can accomplish.
I always liked the way http://dodiy.org/ does ads. When you're a sponsor the author of the site draws it by hand and its hosted directly on the site for however much time agreed. The drawing by hand part is obviously not for everyone, but the idea is that the ads fit the aesthetic of the site, sort of like a podcast host doing their own take on ad copy.
Wrt. your second question: Supply of Bitcoin is pretty much constant, regardless of energy expended, regardless of mining technology. The causation runs like this: demand -> price -> mining. Less demand, lower price, less mining. More demand, higher price, more mining. This is different than any other resource we are used to, because the supply of nothing else is as constant as with bitcoin. If the cost to mine Gold increases, the supply goes down and the price will rise.

Wrt your first question: The best argument against making energy more expensive is the same argument as it was 100 years ago:

If you use energy now, you build a more prosperous civilization for the future. Your grandchildren may have to deal with a warmer climate, but they will be much better able to do so than if they were more poor.

This argument stands and falls with your evaluation of the benefits of using more energy, the costs of a warmer climate and how you weigh these against each other.
Yes, but not hallucinogenic or psychedelic. (Whichever word you prefer.)
It is in the US though?

If Google is going to shift to using almost unblockable tracking calculations, then servers are the next most logical place to push back against it.

Anyone who runs a site and wants to opt in against a default block should have to take extra action to reduce their visitors privacy, and should be called out for their behavior.

This article should be renamed “what is Chesterton‘s fence?” And the author should have realized their mistake right after typing “at this time I don’t know what it is used for”.
You’re correct and parent is correct. War on Drugs started as a combined anti-black anti-counterculture initiative in response to Vietnam War. Psychedelics were threatening the power structure. It was never really about drugs.
25 is as they say 'medium-to-heavy dose'. It's not as excessively high as you make it sound and it isn't quite 'an white knuckle, ego-obliterating flight through space'

It's definitely a 'proper trip' but you are making it seem like a DMT breakthrough amount.
> Isn't the value of a house what someone is willing to pay for it?

This is why it's being compared to crypto currency. The parent comment I was responding to said it's not a fair comparison but "it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it" describes both.
This method is useless for most projects, so yes, you are nobody.
"Sunlight is the best disinfectant". I will bookmark it.
Yes, its extremely absurd to expect that your savings and life energy is preserved for the future. Money should have an expiry date like in China, so you have to consume cheap garbage constantly and make the economy work faster!
In fact, in a lot of cases, these companies "settle" with the government, pay a fine, but they DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ADMIT WRONGDOING.

Ridiculous. Honestly, it's more ridiculous that the government agencies accept such BS to begin with.
Good luck. In countries like Germany or Norway there is a culture of hacker organisations sustaining themselves financially via their members.

This culture doesn't exist in Sweden, and the spaces and organisations that aren't subsidised by government funds or universities all disappear after a few years.

(Source: Lived in all three countries, was active in such organisations in all three countries)
I imagine it would get really expensive real fast to test the whole range of, what, at least a few dozen substances? Are there any efforts to make running experiments cheaper and faster?
There's some research suggesting that the highest dose you can hit without inducing undue anxiety will be the most effective. As one might expect, this is similar to a tolerable recreational dose that most people would give themselves.

Research breakthrough in how neural systems process and store information
Fair disclosure that I studied EE so have second hand insight into what a CS education entails, but my thoughts on the oversight that you noted are that it may be too much to expect that level of knowledge sharing in a 4 year undergrad education. I am reminded of internship and post-doc of physicians working in a hospital. I’m sure you are aware of the prevalent mindset (from blogosphere to actual working environments) that heavily discount the value of experience in a software engineer.

What are your thoughts on that?
Well, that's what makes cryptocurrency a worthwhile market for speculation. Many folks look to the "market cap ranking" to see what's hot in the space, and going down the list and positioning yourself in a rank 400 coin - a good one that shows promise as a tech platform, a more efficient coin, a useful financial instrument or whatever - is one of the most straightforward ways to see 1000% returns, because even if it doesn't make it all the way up to the top 10, its valuation can grow faster than the market as a whole. (It can also get hit with huge drawdowns when the bear market hits. It's not all roses...)

While it is the case that most things get priced relative to BTC, and this does have a network effect since you end up exiting to BTC and thus reenforce its price, it's increasingly common to see trading pairs for ETH, LTC, USDC/USDT. There is interest in getting more liquidity into the market and that's a large part of "DeFi". It's not that BTC is self-perpetuating lock-in, it's that they're all growing but everything else is running several years behind, so on a day to day basis BTC still holds relatively more of the market.
> Are opioids psychoactive?

Yes, obviously.

But the idea that psychoactivity is a (or the?) determining characteristic of a compound in determining whether it is prohibited is silly on its face.
Yes, they're called Erfa-Kreise: https://www.ccc.de/en/club/erfas

They're all in German-speaking countries.
Yes. "clang Foo.S" will use a built-in assembler. "llvm-mc" is another command line interface to that same assembler library.
In Germany there are various "local subsidiaries", mainly in or around larger cities. They are also often somewhat tied/connected with local hackerspaces and whatnot.
