This is what zig does, and I can attest it works fantastically. I use zig to dispatch C ABI FFI in erlang vm, which uses a unfriendly tail-call system to yield from cooperative C ABI code into it's preemptive scheduler. With zig async you can write traditional looping structures and yield back to the erlang vm inside your loop. Because zig has uncolored async you can call the same function using a different strategy (for example in a spawned os thread), and the yields will no-op without having to rewrite the function.

> the compiler can still silently emit both versions

I think that is zig's strategy under the hood (not 100% sure)

What about using animals to help with weed control[1], for example ducks used in rice paddies[2] or weeder geese?

Also mulching and growing cover crops alongside and in succession with our crops [3] prevents weeds without as much labor as traditional wedding. For example planting clover around crops, which stays short and fixes nitrogen while competing with weeds.

I wish we would spend more time rethinking our industrial farming practices, rather than try to prop them up with diesel burning robots.

You do realize that deducting the cost of producing a product is entirely normal and expected behavior right?

It’s not some special loophole.

If you use $1000 of electricity to harvest your crops, that $1000 would be equally as deductible because it’s just a cost of production?
I found the first 2 levels of c4 very useful to get a quick sense what the system consists of, what it interacts with and who the users are. Also because it is something non-tech people can understand and reason about.

But for level 3, 4 it gets tedious to do the diagrams at time and harder to keep them updated over time. Personally I prefer to just read the code and only have diagrams in special cases at this point
Labor is expensive in many countries. :)
I don't think you really need AI/CV if you have multispectral or full-spectrum imaging. Different species will have different absorption/emission at multiple wavelength. This makes it easy to identify crops, and seems to be commonly used for aerial imaging[1-3].

That kind of sensor is expensive though, and while you could probably do it for cheap with something like a DLP wheel (edit: or an array of different light emitters) plus a B/W camera, ML might be more price-effective, though probably more error-prone, so it isn't a given if you want a high match rate.

Also, isn't this a fire hazard?

> informing users of the deprecation

If you can get users to take notice from the start of the fact that your API has the possibility of spitting out certain ‘temporary errors’ that “MUST” trigger a client-side retry with backoff (e.g. 429 errors) — and your API does actually emit these errors sometimes, such that clients' codebases are very likely to have this error-handling code in place — then you’re in a much better situation here: you can give deprecations like these technical force, by making deprecated APIs begin to randomly emit spurious failures, with the failure self-documenting with a response error message like “usage of this API has been deprecated and will gradually cease to function. [link to blog post about transitioning to new API]”

Start off with allowing 99% of requests through; then lower it following a sigmoid, e.g. 95%; 90%; 66%; etc; until eventually it’s at some low number like 1%. Wait a few months at 1%, and then turn it off. (And, obviously, email every user who your metrics say are still using the deprecated API, each time you ratchet it down, to nudge them once again to update their code.)

Any app developer who doesn’t notice that your API is now requiring ~100 retries to contact successfully, either isn’t using the results for anything; or just plain isn’t around any more to update their app, such that the app is now abandonware. Either way, you’re likely safe to shut off the API at that point, and finally clean up that code.

Of course, you can also make side-deals with any big enterprise user who needs more time, putting their API keys on a whitelist so that they'll get 100% success from the API until the very end. (Try not to allow them to slip the sunset date for the API, though; that would force you to keep the code around longer, which is what you're trying to avoid!)

I don't see grouped resources as an alternative to the way we use RAII. It doesn't mean that the approach doesn't have its own merits, but it doesn't cover the things we do with RAII. The architecture of a DAW isn't much like a server that responds to requests, even if there are elements of it that do correspond to that pattern.

Or doing the migrations as load-balancer-side request rewrites. (Nginx is particularly good for this use-case; it’s what sets it apart from simpler LBs like HAProxy.) Then the cruft of old versions doesn’t have to live in your codebase at all, but can live in the same infrastructure-config repo that holds your backend-service-unifying route-map; your SSL config; your rate-limiting setup; etc.
"In many cases investigators don't look very hard for evidence which makes their case fall apart."

I recently witnessed a case where a trooper charged the wrong statute. How can you make a thorough investigation if you don't even know the elements of the offense because you are looking at the wrong statute?

He made about 5 other mistakes too, even lying to the judge. The system doesn't care. The investigation into the lie was found to be a "just a misunderstanding" eventhough that same report also notes that the statement was false and that he made the correct version of that statement 10 minutes prior to that.

At this point, the snide dismissal of all things advertising is nothing short of boring.

To be sure there are many forms of advertising annoyance: auto-playing sound/video, remarketing (or what I like to call advertising a product I've already bought), interstitials, popups (to be fair, there are many non-advertising forms of these eg "sign up to our newsletter" dialogs) and so on.

But what made Google a money-printing machine is that search advertising is actually largely aligned with the interests of the user. That is, just by searching for something the user has shown an intent that other advertising doesn't have (where generally it's just attention thievery). Imagine I search for "how do I sleep on an airplane". Isn't a neck travel pillow an appropriate result here?

I get that it's popular to just hate on all advertising but that's just shallow.

As long as search results are marked as ads when they are ads and paying for ads doesn't improve your organic search ranking (aka the Yelp business model) then I'm completely fine with it.

There is a lot of crap in search results and this is a constant battle of whack-a-mole. At one point it was content farms. As someone who has search for a lot of home furnishing stuff recently I can tell you a big problem is affiliate link blogspam. There'll be some real-sounding domain like mattressreviews.com but it becomes pretty clear it's just mass-produced "content" to justify affiliate links.

Honestly, this will probably get to the point (I hope) where Google does the same thing it did to content farms and starts downranking sites with affiliate links (cough Pinterest cough).
> Also, it sounds like they're using cameras, where it's concievable that other future sensors could be more efficient.

Bit of a pedantic note:

What other sensor could you use?

It looks like almost 50% of the plot is taken up by wheel rut?

Is that typical?
Conventionally, one starts from the CHIP-8, which is indeed a virtual machine rather than a system in a strict sense.

What I've found difficult is the step beyond that. NES and GameBoy are typical steps, however, I've been very frustrated by the confusing documentation of the GameBoy. There are 3/4 references, but one of them has significant mistakes, while another is incomplete. On the other hand, the Pan Docs should be complete and accurate.

I'm not sure if there is an easy middle ground, that, at the same time, is also well documented.

The Atary 2600 is architecturally simpler but less documented, and also requires very accurate timings. I've read somebody suggesting systems like Channel F, Astrocade and Odyssey2, but I'm not sure they're well documented.

I've personally lost my interest once I've found that building an emulator was essentially fighting specifications rather than actually building something.

libfive is unusual in the SDF space in that it doesn't assume Euclidean space, or even Lipshitz continuity! It uses interval arithmetic, so its evaluation is conservative by construction; shapes with weird SDFs may evaluate more slowly, but they won't be wrong.

This means that you can go wild with geometric and coordinate transformations – even weird things like twisting or attract/repel will work fine.

(the only requirement is C0 continuity, which is the bare minimum; otherwise, a point could be both inside and outside the shape depending on which direction you approach it from)
The fact that there exist places on the planet where going outside in the summer risks fainting or death due to extreme heat doesn't mean we should just shrug off how terrible that will be if it happens everywhere.

Love this. I recently acquired a Commodore 64 and wanted to make a simple game for it as well.

Yes, and it’s not an uncommon defence in child pornography cases. Similarly, you can always claim that the police framed you by lying about the device being found in your possession, or not being tampered with between seizure and forensic analysis. It is up to the jury to decide whether the defence gives rise to a reasonable doubt.

The standard is not as high as most technically-minded people think. Juries can convict defendants on the uncorroborated testimony of a single witness: https://newrepublic.com/article/152305/who-to-believe-sexual...
That's an entirely different kind of concurrency. Those statements are just going to run on the CPU. It's only faster to do them in parallel if you have an extra CPU core lying around and if the overhead of splitting it across CPUs doesn't outweigh the time saving of doing both at once (it almost never does for such a small piece of work).

With async functions, the CPU isn't actually doing anything. It's just waiting for something to happen, like a network response from another machine. It's almost always faster to do them in parallel if possible.
My main concern there would be the management and orchestration of the releases for that since its detached from the codebase that is changing. It sounds very performant though. Have any examples of this setup?

> hate the way Apple phrases their business investments like they're performing some great charitable act

Why do you think domestic investment is so economically useless that it must be a charitable act?

Cupertino is announcing spend. Spending here is better for people here, ceteris paribus, than spending there. If they announced $430bn in new Southeast Asian contracts, there would be a twin top comment lamenting Apple's lack of domestic spending.
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-js strikes perhaps the most realistic balance possible, recognizing that NPM is an insecure place for their core JS logic that creates a PCI compliant iFrame, and so their NPM package is just a loader for a script tag hosted securely. And yet they encourage people to use NPM for the wrapper itself. Which is just as vulnerable to supply chain attacks as anything else on NPM. If this isn't tacit acknowledgement of a "new standard" I don't know what is. I absolutely agree that it's problematic.
It has to be emphasised that (IIUC) Page and Brin's misbehaviour is not just a thing of the past, but active and ongoing, since they still have majority voting power over Alphabet https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/011516/top-5-g... . Even one of them is a hugely clouty shareholder, especially if he enlisted the support of a few of their chums who hold the remainder of Class B. Yes, by now they probably can't just undo Google's fundamental size and orientation as an AdWords behemoth at will: too many business risks and legitimate concerns about fiduciary duty, too much risk of shareholder lawsuits and so on. But within that they surely have enormous power to restrain Google's actions at their discretion.

Of course when bad things happen the usual tendency is to attribute too much power and assign too much blame to a few individuals. But if anything the reverse seems to be true here. Page and Brin largely don't have the twin "if I don't do it I'll be fired" and "if I don't do it someone else will" excuses that others tend to have. Yet there seems to be an ambient belief that they shouldn't be expected to restrain Google, that their (at best) abdication of responsibility is somehow inevitable or proper. What makes this really disgraceful is that Google probably got where it today is in large part because in the past people bought, and Google actively sold, the idea that Larry and Sergey were nice guys who could be could be trusted to use their controlling stake to do the right thing. However stupid it was to ever trust in that idea, Page and Brin are not justified in abusing that trust now.
Yep, all tech companies have seen the writing on the wall for overconcentrating their operations in California. People in general have become more and more hesitant to move there for a wide platitude of reasons from absurd cost of living to issues such as mass wildfires.

They've realized that perhaps, just perhaps, they could afford to have more than one large corporate campus at their scale of fuck you money. Which gives them wider access to talent and actually reduces headaches such spiraling cost of living forcing salaries to also spiral upwards and also being expected to solve housing crises locally.

> Read through and it seems to be a crazy plan for me.

There’s no as actual plan, just “you will put the money you promised to spend on this in escrow so as to not put the plaintiff’s in a worse situation than you have already announced the intent to, and then you will make certain explanations and achieve certain goals by set times”. A plan would specify how those results will be met.

> It is also laughable to think a judge has a grand plan to solve a societal issue.

This is not a plan nor is it aiming to solve a societal issue.

> So a judge appointed himself to be the supreme planner of the city?

No, the appointment was by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate, and the position is judge of the adherence of parties brought before his court with federal law, with the broad power to order behavior changes where there are breaches in that adherence with harms to other parties.

> The idea that a judge thinks himself can solve the homeless problem with a big plan is by itself pathetic.

The particular identified Constitutional breaches involved in the city of LA creating Skid Row and then actively choosing a containment polcy to trap people there and prolong the harms deliverately inflicted is not equivalent to the broader “homeless problem”, and the order here isn’t a solution to either the former or the latter but a direction to cease and mitigate the active and ongoing harm LA is doing to the subjects of the former. A solution (or at least, compensatory remedy) for the former, narrower, problem would likely be a component of the final judgement if (as seems likely) LA loses the case, this is merely a preliminary injunction to avoid irreparable harm during the pendency of thr trial, not a remedy for past harm or permanent solution.

Yes, it would be crazy if the judge was doing what you describe, but the judge is doing something much narrower.

I've found similarly that there's a lot of value in cultivating your knowledge base in between emotionally charged goals or spurts of inspiration, but highly disciplined / regimented approaches never worked for me at all for some reason.

For me, the key was switching to a totally non-linear but robustly inter-connectable note system, which turned out to be tiddlywiki in my case. Regimented approaches I found created friction for creating a new submission, and switching to just creating a 'tiddler' when something was on my mind (and then being able to choose to reference that content within larger ones later or not) has been one of the most liberating changes I've made in years.
So a negative positive feedback loop?

This seems like a demonstration of routing issues, more than anything else. I have no idea how many changes that journey would involve, but there's no way that 55 hours to cover 1269 miles is representative of the time a train (even a clunky Amtrak train) would take to cover that distance. So this would seem to be an argument for increasing routes/services, rather than an argument that the train can't ever work.

OTOH, the flight is hard to compete with in that instance, so I suspect even with a better route, you'd likely still fly between those two places. Others might not, and the new service/route would benefit people making shorter journeys along the way.
