This makes logical sense, but I don’t buy it in practice. Most of the heavy data reads are handled by databases, which do optimize for this stuff. I just doubt that, in most software, a significant amount of software performance issues are a result of poor memory alignment of data structures.

Pretty much the entire rest of the world has long since moved to tap/RFID solutions, which are faster and less fiddly. In fact off the top of my head I can't think of any other major city still using swipe cards, even in developing countries.
There's a famous Jewish story about four Jewish sages disagreeing about something and one of them calling out to God to confirm he's right, and the voice of God actually booming from heaven and saying "yes, so and so is right!". The remaining sages retort "well, there's still three against two". The canonical meaning of this is that the sages in the majority actually were acting correctly. So the rule lawyering is not a bug, it's how it's meant to work :)
It depends on what you mean by “more advanced”. More lethal? Easier to transmit?

In any case, the answer is “maybe”. By vaccinating, we cannot be sure of what is actually being selected for. We only have an idea of what is being selected against.

It’s a very common belief in some Christian circles that universality of morality is impossible without resort to a personal deity, it's at least a source of cosmic punishment of morality is violated.

This is, of course, completely bogus; universality works just as well as a standalone a priori moral axiom as it does as a consequence of the Cosmic Punisher.
A TMTP server could act as a proxy between a client and service; there are a few use cases for that (mentioned in FAQ, but not in current protocol draft).

By not supporting LLVM JIT it gains a lot of significant advantages:

Small jit dependency. 1MB compared to 30MB.

Fast JIT. At least 3x faster than llvm.

All architectures. LLVM only supports a tiny amount of architectures, gccjit all.

Only the desperate do llvm jitting.
>Why not be honest to yourself and admit that you actually don't care so much about the Laws?

The the following obviously isn't universal since people have different approaches to their faith, but I would argue the exact opposite. Many people don't do this because they are dishonest or because they don't care about these laws. They do this because they are honest with themselves and they do care about these laws.

Modern society is now setup in such a way as to often give people a choice between living a modern lifestyle or living strictly by laws written thousands of years ago before this life was possible. If presented with the choice between breaking these law and having that lifestyle, people chose to be honest with themselves and adopt that modern lifestyle. However the laws are so important that they must be maintained even if that maintenance now only exists in a symbolic way. That is how you might get people that maintain these seemingly bizarre workarounds. They are able to live a more normal life while constantly reinforcing and reminding themselves of the importance of their religion.

Some believe that this dedication in pleasing God might be just as if not even more important than following some law written thousands of years ago as strictly as possible.

Cache misses can lead to major slowdowns.

Everything depends on the access patterns in critical loops. If you need most of the fields of a struct in each iteration, the classic way is beneficial. If you need a narrow subset (a "column") of fields in a large collection of objects, splitting objects into these columns speeds things up.

Automatic transmission is also seen as more boring, and while professional drivers can get away with using them many people consider you a lesser driver if you don't drive manual.

For the record, I just had a look at the local second-hand market; cars with automatic transmission are cheaper and more available, while the demand for cars with manual transmission is higher.
Well the other comments might be jumping to conclusions (which might have had an impact of course).

But the Portuguese bridge is over a river, this one is over a valley (though sure, the alps are a complication). They're also built slightly differently if you see the photos.

But yeah I think it's not only due to simple reasons.
I mean sure it's cool but I think the point is they've been so consistently spectacularly successful in blowing past mission objectives that it's a bit hard to imagine achieving this wasn't the "expected result" (maybe we can cut a bit of slack for Pathfinder/Sojourner which was the first complex mission after the Climate Orbiter debacle and over-delivered only 12x).
A friend of mine bought new BMW and the whole thing just shut down half way into the journey, he said he was happy he could get out of it. The more complexity the higher the chance of failure.

If you're like me you just want a car that get's you from point A to point B reliably and safely. You're probably thinking they will always be an option for a straightforward mechanical machine.

But that may not be the case. Regulators are increasing demands for more and more electronics and a lot of that is driven (I assume) by car industry lobby.

Essentially, the best thing a car industry can achieve is to turn your car into a computer or iphone. This way they can release new models every year and increase the the pressure to buy more.

Right now a 20yo car is still good to drive around and not that much has improved, but what are you going to do it the new software update is no longer compatible with your car? :)

And obviously, more higher complexity.higher failure means more profits on component sales.

I can remember the columnar approach used in Fortran back in the day. Fortran did not have records, only scalar arrays, so a natural way to represent a bunch of "objects" was to have a bunch of arrays for each property value.

The reason I say that eruv uphold the spirit of the law is because it is permissible to carry within walled cities. If it wasn't the intention of the law to make carrying outdoors completely off limits, then it is hard to see why an eruv violates the spirit of the law.

As for why it is necessary to have the physical construction: Just as the law doesn't intend to forbid carrying everywhere, it doesn't intend to permit it everywhere. The actual existence of a physical boundary prevents the perceived permissibility of carrying from expanding constantly. Without it, there would need to be some other equally arbitrary seeming rule about what constitutes a single community.

I also think it is important to mention that both the spirit and the letter of the law are quite important. Even setting aside the question of the spirit of the law, they are still necessary because they are mandated in a legalistic sense.
i didn’t want to imply there was no difference between the body and emotions. just that they are a integral parts of the same system.

> I’m not sure I understand you, it seems to contradict what you said earlier.

i did contradict myself because both are true at the same time. my example was one of malfunction, an over reactive warning systems. your example is one of, i assume, coping with unchangeable external stressors.

fyi, the later is a good example of how disconnected we can become. a migraine caused by stress (like any other painful symptom) is pretty late into the warning system that our emotions behave as. while breathing to reduce pain is a good coping tactic, as a long term strategy it isn’t removing the stressors and so only relieves that particular symptom. in that situation i would hope to align myself with my warning system and attempt to change my environment such that the stressor is removed.

if you’re in a situation where the you feel stressor cannot be removed, that is a different discussion.

in the situation where the stressor isn’t apparent then i would seek a therapist as perhaps there are past traumas that have been experienced which exacerbate your emotional response to some stimulus.

It's the submission paper to the 13th European Lisp Symposium (ELS20) last year in Zurich. Lisp conferences put a higher demand on their submissions to be like formal papers. With external reviewers and such. This is one.

I'm from Israel, and while I don't personally abide by any religious rules, I do come into contact with people who do and have an idea: it is important to understand that most people do not follow these rules as a functional method to achieve some goal. For example, it's not like they're actively thinking "oh if I press this button on Sabbath then I'll go to hell, and I wanna go to heaven so I won't".

Instead, they're following these rules as a social decree. In their circles, it is the obvious and accepted thing to do to follow these rules, which the community's leading Rabbi sets (or well, gives guidelines which are socially considered binding). If you don't follow the rules, then you're a weird one, and religious communities tend not to be accepting of the different, so they will shun you for turning on the light on Sabbath (if you keep doing it..)

So for one born into a religious community, you're taught to do so and there is a strong social incentive to do so: if you don't, you're first branded an odd one, and in some cases shunned, depending on how severe your straying off the path is. If you were told that were you to use the elevator normally, your parents would be very upset with you and may stop talking to you altogether, you'd think about it twice, even if you don't personally feel that you want to follow Judaism.

Finally, the religious authorities have a power incentive to do this: by setting rules and maintaining their position as the authorities who set rules, they keep a lot of power over a large number of people. Often this even manifests financially, as a respected religious authority can give Kosher certificates (and many products which are not food, like phones, can also be Kosher) - of course, the certification costs money, just like a SOC2 audit. Same goes for Sabbath certified electric devices - someone gave their stamp of approval, and the developer paid for it.

So to summarize - religious authorities enjoy power and money by being those who set the rules, everyday people have a strong social incentive to follow the rules as breaking them is taboo.

I think about it like following requirements set by certain certifications. Not all requirements make sense in every context - sometimes you may feel silly complying, knowing you're doing it just to check a box, even though there's no practical value to it.

But there is a value to passing the audit and getting the certificate saying you comply from EY or whoever, so you abide by the requirements, even when they don't make sense, so you can show your ~Kosher~ ISO certificate when you need to.

I'd like to point out that this isn't all there is to it - there are very obviously other incentives to do things this way (e.g. personal belief), but I'm just trying to make an analogy with terms from the HNer's day to day to show why you might follow religious rules even if you're (say) a teenager who doesn't care one bit.

> They just assumed that they would sell hardware and a community would provide a working operating system and apps magically.

No, not really. They had an exact opposite problem - they made several iterations of the default operating system, starting almost from scratch at each iteration, which burned quite a lot of energy and willpower of the community, which in turn focused their efforts on alternative distros like SHR or QtMoko.

> had to use an external charger.

Fortunately, you could use a standard Nokia BL-5C battery with the Freerunner. You didn't even need to have an external charger, just a charged spare battery would suffice. Also, IIRC this was an issue only with the first batch (so a small minority of produced phones).

> Another issue was that the GPS receiver was accidentally surrounded by metal, so barely functioned

Not really. The GPS problem was because of microSD clock interference. You could solder a resistor on microSD slot pins or use a software workaround that clocked the reader down enough to not interfere.

> it was hard to use without a stylus

I have programmed quite a lot on that touchscreen with OSK without using a stylus. It worked fine, but yeah, it would be much better if the screen weren't recessed (N900 did that well, that touchscreen was excellent).

> so like 5kbps max data transfer.

More like 100kbps.

> Then there was finally a big bloated distribution (SHR if memory serves) that packed in enough libraries to make a more or less "usable" device, but doing so maxed out the phone's meager storage and RAM, making it nearly impossible to do anything "smart" with it.

Uhm, no? SHR was a light OpenEmbedded-based distro with E17-based window manager. It was one of the snappiest and most reliable distros for that device, I used it for a few years as a power user and was very happy with it. And maxing storage wouldn't be an issue anyway since you could boot from an SD card.

Eventually I've switched to a N900 because of the Freerunner's slowness. If Glamo wasn't so slow I guess I would use it for a few years more before switching. I still have it and it still works, although I don't really use it anymore.
There always is a simple explanation:

Resulting from (1) removing irrelevant details (details crucial for an implementation, but irrelevant for an initial mental model) and (2) making use of analogies built around already known concepts.

"Complex maths" is never an excuse to not find that explanation.

Disclaimer: I am a pure mathematician.
It's more reasonable to believe it depends on the person, since why wouldn't it.
>The market solves this problem. If China makes things too hard on intl businesses, the businesses will invest to go around China. That’s what the rare Earth mine example shows.

What the rare Earth mineral example shows is that China is willing to incur environmental and human rights costs that the West is not, in order to carve out a seat at the table for negotiating future power projection.

>China needs big intl businesses. The Chinese domestic market is not big enough to support their current pace of economic growth, and the government relies on that growth for social stability.

Really not following this point. If anything, this is evidence that elites in the west - who get rich off of the kinds of "market solves everything" solutions you may or may not be alluding to - will continue to ignore the problem as long as the stock market goes up. I also don't understand your point about the size of the domestic market in China. It's well over a billion people. International business looks at those demographics and see nothing but dollar signs. The difference here is that China's government will only let in that business insofar as they see it as enriching their country, and they make this point explicit. Size alone here is an advantage.
I think the consensus is “no” but there is a discussion bec it’s closer to hinting at something than doing it directly.

>If one program on your system depends on a quirk of libfoobar-1.0.3, and another program on your system depends on a quirk of libfoobar-1.0.4, you're fucked. You can't have both programs on your system, and Linux distributors will simply stop updating one of them until the author magically fixes it, which happens approximately never.

It's not true at all. Libfoobar-1.0.4 is backward compatible with libfoobar-1.0.3, so both programs will work. If one of the programs or the lib has a bug, then it's easier to just fix the bug than to add burden on maintainers.

Moreover, both libfoobar.so.1.0.3 and libfoobar.so.1.0.4 can be installed at the same time, e.g. libfoobar.so.1.0.4 can be packaged as libfoobar-1.0.4, while libfoobar.so.1.0.3 can be packaged as compat-libfoobar-1.0.3.

If you have more questions, try to find answers in packaging guidelines for your distribution, or ask maintainers for help with packaging of your app.
