The endgame will increasingly consist of the government becoming the insurance company. California's FAIR plan is a canonical example.

You really don't even need climate change. It's enough that flood-prone towns have increased in population over time with the less desirable land (ie. lowest) built on last. Natural cycles are enough to cause things to get sporty.

I think that a big part of the problem, aside from the huge percentage of net worth people have to dump into homes (they're hard to simply walk away from) is the time periods involved. You know darned well that wildfires are going to happen, the Hayward fault will cause an East Bay Boogie, 17 feet New Orleans levees will see 18 feet of water, but people will still build there and underspend on disaster prevention. Typical human planning horizons don't mesh well with things that occur every few decades.
Disposable housing is common in some cultures who value new construction. Having a house naturally erode is better than what happens in Japan for example:

[...] the value of the average Japanese house depreciates to zero in 22 years. (It is calculated separately from the land, which is more likely to hold its value.) Most are knocked down and rebuilt. Sales of new homes far outstrip those of used ones, which usually change hands in the expectation that they will be demolished and replaced. In America and Europe second-hand houses accounted for 90% of sales and new-builds for 10% in 2017. In Japan the proportions are the other way around. — The Economist

I've met literally dozens of people who talk about their close brush with a barracuda while diving.

They are a minimal threat but they look kind of scary so people always always think that they had a close call with one when the barracuda is just doing what they do which is checking out a human who might hand them a fish.

It always makes me chuckle because I hear people tell their barracudas stories and they always sound the exact same. At no point were they in any danger but they really think they were.

And those companies are in the business of matching spherical cows in a vacuum.

Efficient markets are useful as a simple model, but you don’t get to wish away real-world problems by pretending the world conforms to that model.
Regulation is a broad term for this context. I'm sure pro-gun proponents would be more than happy if the government regulated for product safety and quality and are generally fine with age limits and restricting sales to licensed dealers.
I think you're misunderstanding me. What I'm saying is that the act of adopting a broad "no talking about politics or society" rule, specifically right now, is itself a very political act. They are doing exactly the thing you say they're trying to avoid.
I think the big reason for this is most dealers know there's little maintenance cost on EVs, which is where they make their money. With our Nissan Leaf, it's a struggle finding a dealer that even has an EV mechanic, and the ones that don't won't touch it if they don't have one.

With that said though, I've found that sales not knowing anything about the cars they sell to be the trend of late. Even with ICE cars I've bought lately, the sales people have known virtually nothing about the car that I couldn't read on the sticker.
It would work by the "insurance" paying off established ransom groups in advance. Protection rackets aren't exactly a new invention. Wether it can work or not is entirely hinging on the uncertainty of just how fragmented the ransomware industry really is. Is it actually just one loose federation or are multiple ecosystems existing in parallel? Do they perhaps informally agree on virtual turfs?

I agree, an argument for 4 is the fact that the hypervisor attack surface can be scaled up and down by adding/removing virtual devices. There is only a little set that stays permanently, like 30+ hypercalls on Xen. Overall compared to a standard OS interface (Linux has in the range of 350+ syscalls) this is still very little. The Solo5 VMM project tried even out another extreme by reducing the hypercalls to less than 10 if I remember correctly.

At John Deere they compile various "applications" into their home-grown JDOS (or rather for a given controller, they compile several apps and the OS into a single 'executable'). I.e., the OS is a library, which I think is the definition of a unikernel, although perhaps not since there are often several apps on a controller?
Funnily coincident timing: current post #2 (GCC 11.1 released) adds support for the CPUs mentioned here (currently post #4):

AArch64 & arm

A number of new CPUs are supported through arguments to the -mcpu and -mtune options in both the arm and aarch64 backends (GCC identifiers in parentheses):
Arm Cortex-A78 (cortex-a78).
Arm Cortex-A78AE (cortex-a78ae).
Arm Cortex-A78C (cortex-a78c).
Arm Cortex-X1 (cortex-x1).
Arm Neoverse V1 (neoverse-v1).
Arm Neoverse N2 (neoverse-n2).

Good to see work going into this at the proper times. (Not that that was much of a problem for CPU cores in recent times. Still not a matter of course though.)

Whenever I see these arguments for a higher minimum wage, I see the point missed. The minimum wage could be $4 an hour, but if I can rent an apartment for $300 a month, and feed my family for $75 a month it wouldn't make a difference. In my younger days, I could find an apartment in La for about $600. This was a studio, but it was ultimately public transportation friendly, and I didn't need a car. So on $10 an hour I could make it work.

Now the same apartments about 1300, and this has only happen in the last decade.

Seriously, make housing easier to build. Don't allow anyone who might be a bit annoyed by construction to file half a dozen complaints and hold up projects by years.

As an extreme measure, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have social programs which help people with relocation expenses. Let's say you had a struggling family in Los Angeles, a good social program would give this family $5,000 to relocate to Nashville, and to rent an apartment in a city where a working class family can survive. But this underscores a very nasty truth, there are cities which are hostile towards working class people. I'm not sure of the society we're ready to embrace this truth
Are you sure? My take on why mass market contact tracing didn't pan out was that it was insufficiently implemented/used. If it were on every phone and on by default, perhaps even mandated, would it still not have worked? I know that many people take significant issue with that approach, but it would have made more of a difference, right?
Please correct me on this but from what I can gather ransomware is a direct consequence of cryptocurrency. US Federal law enforcement has quite a lot of control over traditional banking and trying to extort the amount of money from a public agency would traditionally call for Federal Intervention. If so it seems like there is a good case to be made for a direct fine placed on the ledger used for payment in order to compensate for the damages.
Given the timing, I doubt it. Apple has established a fairly stable cadence of core improvements every 12 months. Enough time has elapsed between the M1 and this new chip that I'd expect it to have more in common with the "Apple A15" generation SOC than the A14/M1.

As to what Apple's choice of marketing name, that's entirely arbitrary. (For what it's worth, my guess is they're ditching "X" suffixes and will designate higher spec variants with other prefix letters e.g. the "P1" chip.)

I don't "prefer" print debugging over interactive debugging tools.

I need something that works reliably, repeatably and with as much difference from the production build as possible.

gdb fails for me in all of these ways.

I would prefer a working debugger, yes.
Not trying to nit-pick, but your quote of what I said specifically left off my words "could have" before the word "suffered" so I do not think I claimed what you are claiming I claimed.

I hate print debugging. But the C/C++ gods in my workplace, who designed the whole system love it. So they did not care to make it easy for people like me to use debuggers. I am not skilled enough to figure out the exact incantations to run that will put in the correct symbols in the correct place such that gdb will pick them up.

So I use print debugging exclusively.

You really should try Pernosco. You can record your program, and replay it as often as you like without ever having to contact the RPC service again; it replays the same response from the server in exactly the same way as it was recorded. The server never times out while you’re paused, because RR remembers the exact pattern of syscalls that your program executed, and always replays them deterministically. The server won’t time out in the play back because it didn’t time out in the recording. It really is a superpower.

And instead of putting a breakpoint and then hitting continue 50 times, you query the Pernosco database for all executions of that line, and it shows them to you as a list. You can then have it evaluate expressions at those points in time, and it shows them in the same list. It’s fast too; it can evaluate your expression at hundreds of points in time faster than you can type them in.

There are two aspects. One is the purpose of offering benefits, the other is fairness and inclusivity.

Companies offer benefits because they want to make employees happy enough to stick around. It thus makes sense that all employees can take advantage and feel good about it.

For the same reason, benefits should be designed so that no employee feels excluded or that they fell they are told how they should live their lives.

At then end of the day, for the company it's only a matter of budget. So, to me, it makes sense to let each employee decide. This is the best way to address the two points above. That's exactly how it works at some companies (as hinted in my previous comment): The company tells you that you have a budget of x per year that you can allocate to a range of benefits with any cash left added to your cash pay. It's flexible, empowering, and employees tend to be quite happy about the system.

Or, as I mentioned, decide to pay well enough that you can tell employees that you don't offer additional benefits but compensate through the pay cheque, which they can obviously spend however they please.

Regarding your example, I would think that a good company would provide a range of free drinks, not just coffee or even one type of coffee (again the point it to make employees feel valued).

Europe is the second largest manufacturer of cars for example. And half the world's planes are made here. That's not minor.

I guess I should have avoided the term "family car", since there are lots of different types of cars that are suitable as a family car.

So I searched Wikipedia and the types of car I was thinking about are apparently called "Compact MPV" [1]. My thinking was that these cars are mostly targeted at families, so I called them "family cars", but apparently people have different ideas what a family car is.

My point was that VW is going to end up building a large number of different EVs in the next couple of years, and Tesla will face the problem that each of their models will have to compete with 3 models from VW.

No matter what model Tesla your interested in, there will be a car from the VW group with slightly more space, and one that's cheaper, and maybe one that's a bit sportier. It's going to be very different from now, where there's very little competition to Tesla (if you want an EV)

That seems like a non sequitur ("The optimal level of alcohol intake for health and longevity is zero"). All I see in the article you referred (or the original article above) are several (valid) questions about the J shaped association, like confounding factors and survival bias. But these aren't evidence that the optimal level is zero. Merely challenging/speculating about the opposite view is not evidence.

Also, as the paper itself admits, drinking small amounts of alcohol has low risks, and while it argues against causation, it doesn't even discuss possible causational factors. E.g., consider the fact that alcohol can reduce stress, which we know has detrimental effects on health. Couldn't small amounts of alcohol be causally responsible then in improving longevity?

Not to be cynical, but I feel the medical community finds this positive low-alcohol/longevity J association rather inconvenient and take every opportunity to debunk it. May be they're right, but if we're to discredit the massive epidemiological evidence, we need more direct evidence and be objective about it.
Unfortunately that wouldn't count as European, after Brexit :-)
Last I checked, DigitalOcean has a "Spaces" feature for file storage, which is compatible with the AWS S3 API (and they even suggest using the AWS client library).

I always found it odd that we can easily port apps, databases, etc., from one cloud to another, but for file storage/CDN it's always some proprietary solution like S3. AFAIK open source solutions never really took off.

If it lets you avoid recompilation, it's very likely it could save you a significant amount of time. I really learned GDB for an embedded Linux system where it took 5-10 minutes to compile and 5-10 more minutes to load the updated build and then you have to restart the whole device. I don't really feel like spending 20 minutes (worst case) or even 10 minutes (best case) to get to, hopefully, the right printf. Make a build with debug symbols, load it, run it with a debugger attached [0], maybe restart a few times to recreate the error path (which might have to be done with printfs as well). And once that process was established and written down (extra build target, half page of instructions on getting things properly configured for our environment) it became much, much faster than print debugging.

I thought it was Naples FL, tied with Newport Beach, CA. Every financial offer I've gotten with one of those places in the return address has been extremely scammy looking, and I lost a pile of money to a Newport Beach scammer in the 80s.

But then Georgia allows loan terms that are not allowed in other states, so predatory lenders like to be based in GA, IIRC. I think Florida is second in allowing non-consumer-friendly loan terms though.

One aspect is that a bunch of ransomware actors are on US sanctions list, so paying money to them - for whatever reason - is a felony i.e. "funding terrorism" even if you don't know at the time who is behind them.
There's a pretty broad difference between a system that determines "does this person honor their payment agreements according to the objective metrics of their payment history and credit usage" and a system that determines "is this person a 'good citizen' according to an opaque set of random metrics, many of which are non-financial and defined by the state".

Comparing them directly in this way is not only disingenuous, it indirectly handwaves the objectively oppressive system China runs.

How do you plan to determine the potential risk for all kernel users in case the patch finds its way into a release? No IRB who understands this would ever approve of such "research".

Nothing a few 100% watertight patches as distraction and maybe cooperation from some maintainers couldn't fix to a reasonable degree. Either way that doesn't justify the experiment.
Did I say "the Cape is a great place to live! no problems here! move here!"? No. I agreed with the fundamental problems the Cape faces, and am asking for others to help change/stop these issues. Fighting for affordable housing, advocating for good schools, supporting non-tourism based business... there are countless other causes. My point was that "I'm not going down without a fight" and we need help, because we're losing the war for the Cape, and the future is bleak if "good men do nothing". No one is asking to be handed anything, I'm asking YOU and others to fight for a robust and thriving community.

I'd rather spend time writing new branches against approved, merged upstream rather than submitting to an upstream branch that may never get reviewed and merged. Keep in mind, too, that the longer a branch lives the more rebasing it goes through. Also, the bigger the branch is, the more it is to review when finally considering whether to merge it. I think giving people a foundation on which to build is a good way to prevent a lot of extraneous work and also to build confidence in the direction of development.
